Hello all,
I know this has been discussed before, and that many believe that a CWM
variant would be pointless due to there already being a BIOS on x86
systems, however I would like to gain further knowledge as to why simply
the idea is so far fetched.
Updating android-x86 variant could be accomplished via OTA updates, and/or
another bootable installer, however wouldn't having the ability to 'flash'
customizations via a GRUB like interface be beneficial as well?
I feel for testing purposes that this could be beneficial. Having the
ability to rework the source without having to do a clean install every
time could provide a more accurate method for testing. This would also be
good for devs, who want to modify their actual system rather than a virtual
one.
I have little knowledge of android building, however I am vaguely familiar
with C and java. I have the source downloaded and I am reviewing it, in the
case that people will find this worthwhile, I will (hopefully) be able to
contribute to the cause.
Again, if I am completely off base here, please inform me. I am just trying
to help the cause!
Thanks all for future inputs. :good:
