* run minadbd as shell userDoug Zongker2012-03-191-1/+5
| | | | | | | | Make minadbd drop its root privileges after initializing. We need to make the /tmp directory writable by the shell group so that it can drop the sideloaded file there. Change-Id: I67b292cf769383f0f67fb934e5a80d408a4c131d
* support "sideload over ADB" modeDoug Zongker2012-01-101-0/+27
Rather than depending on the existence of some place to store a file that is accessible to users on an an unbootable device (eg, a physical sdcard, external USB drive, etc.), add support for sideloading packages sent to the device with adb. This change adds a "minimal adbd" which supports nothing but receiving a package over adb (with the "adb sideload" command) and storing it to a fixed filename in the /tmp ramdisk, from where it can be verified and sideloaded in the usual way. This should be leave available even on locked user-build devices. The user can select "apply package from ADB" from the recovery menu, which starts minimal-adb mode (shutting down any real adbd that may be running). Once minimal-adb has received a package it exits (restarting real adbd if appropriate) and then verification and installation of the received package proceeds.
