How to contribute
As of today (2020-06-20) I basically wrote all the package documentation. There is a lot of packages descriptions to improve. Some can be slightly incorrect and some are nearly nonexistent (search for MORE INFO NEEDED comments). You know what you have to do! :)
You can also add new packages :
- Fetch the list of all the system packages of your phone. My script automatically exports this list in a file called
remaining_packages after choosing an action in the main menu. You'll need to add quotes " to each package in this file.
You can also directly generate the list with this command :
adb shell 'pm list packages -s' | sed -r 's/package://g' | sort > remaining_packages.txt
- Seek new packages not present in the lists. You can use this script to check if your list has no duplicate with the current lists of the repo.
Note: Don't forget to add quotes to the packages name in your list. The script which check for duplicate will not work if your list isn't formatted like this :
"com.samsung.android.provider.filterprovider"
"com.android.cts.priv.ctsshim"
"com.gd.mobicore.pa"
"com.samsung.android.app.aodservice"
"com.android.providers.telephony"
"com.samsung.android.applock"
"com.sec.automation"
"com.android.providers.media"
- Try to document each new packages and make a merge request or create an issue.
