Just google devices where images are provided on the factory or ota image page.  I don't have plans at this time to support other devices.

0.0.9.5 Adds a lot of device checking kind of code.  Basically what I alluded to when I started adding the adb and fastboot device commands.  It's probably not bug free but it should be useful.

LOL!  If Google would be so kind as to add the Essential images to their factory image page it'd be supported.

Someone convinced me to take a look.  Essential support is definitely possible as it's flashed the same way as a nexus or pixel.  The data comes from a different website, though, and I'd have to write some custom code to scrape the data from it like I do for Google's image pages.  Once I get a little further along in the development I'll look into this and see if support can be added.

The IDIOTS that wrote your essential page PISS ME OFF.  I use a library for parsing the HTML to get device names, images, sha256 hash, all that fun stuff that drives the HoG.  I can parse both OTA and Factory image pages for Google.  Your essential, however, requires you to select a radio button and click a submit button in order to view the image data.  The library I'm using does NOT allow me to do that.  In order to be able to support essential devices I'm going to have to write a frackton of code.  I will eventually work on this but it won't come super soon.  Maybe before the next image release in April.  Yes....it's THAT much work.

0.0.9.6 is for my benefit only.  C# friend did a code review and had lots of feedback. Refactored to make the code cleaner and more C# standard.

Nice job.  I missed downloading 092-095.  Oh well.

 

Time to grab this one before you release another version.

[SamuriHL]

You didn't miss anything. A couple broken builds and some minor changes. I got the code up in GitHub finally and a friend code reviewed it. A lot of little language specific things. Nothing that impacted functionality. I need to research how to add essential support. That's going to be a pain in the ass. Once I'm satisfied that things are working well and I've got all the optimizations in place, them we'll start working on more advanced features. Slot selection for devices that support it, perhaps twrp support, and who knows from there. I have a list of things I want implemented. But that'll all be after the fundamentals are truly solid.

Cool.  In the meantime I'm testing whether the Magisk root inactive slot after OTA installation method still works or not - about to find out --- now.

[johnlgalt]

It worked.  And there was no violation, so SafetyNet still works as well.

 

These guys deserve a donation.

 

And you, too, deserve one!

I looked into the essential images again today.  I've not yet been successful in parsing the damn page they're on.  I've tried multiple methods for getting it to show me the data I need to parse.  I'll work on it again tomorrow as I would seriously like to crack this one and get support for it completed.  But so far, it's being a pain in the ass.

Don't spend a ton of time on it. I can get the updates ota... And it would be basically extra code for just me

It's a device that should be supported. Period.  It will be...I just don't yet know how that's going to work.  But it will.

[johnlgalt]

Well, I took the Q DP1 OTA, and then topjohnwu got Magisk working - so I've not had an excuse to use HoG again (well, on my Taimen anyway).

 

Yet.

 

I'm seeing discrepancies in some of the reports that folks are making about features of Q, and I am beginning to suspect that, at least this round, the OTA route is actually the more stable route than clean installing Q.

 

Next weekend I may put that theory to the test - using HoG, of course

[SamuriHL]

Oh for the love of... So by next weekend you want beta support added??? Lol

[johnlgalt]

Nope.  I did not say you need to do a thing- you continue to focus on integrating Essential.

 

I will test the current HoG build with the Q DP1 OTA, if need be (I have yet to see the full system image, so I suppose I would have to use HoG and add in a data wipe, manually from fastboot booted TWRP if need be, to make it function as a 'clean' install).

 

Trust me - if I want you to do something, you'll know when I ask

[SamuriHL]

It's not exactly a lot of work to add beta options.  I was already thinking about it the day it was released.  LOL  The essential support is on hold until I can think of some brilliant way to get to the info I need to parse.  I will get the beta support added before next weekend for sure.  It's rather trivial but will require a minor change to the UI.

[SamuriHL]

They only released factory images for the beta?  No OTA?  Well don't they suck.  I'll see what I can do about loading the factory image data for the beta.
