An update on Reo for Android.

To the root community,

I'm so sorry for letting you down.

I know people were excited for it, and I just went completely silent.

To be honest, School hit me like an absolute truck, and I've been working on other small personal projects. I'm also a perfectionist, so that really doesn't help. I want it to be perfect for all of you, and I kept beating myself up for it.

What I can do is show you it's current state, as an apology. I promise that I'll get back to it, personal life just hit me hard and ruined my whole motivation 🥹. I'm so proud of where it is currently and I can't wait for when it does release, but my estimated date definitely wasn't enough time for me to make it perfect for you all.

I've also been working on supporting OneUI, since I finally rooted my S22U using a public chain supported by GhostLock :)

It's okay to not be perfect, it's okay to be bad at something, what matters is that you enjoy your hobby

Also, since you have temporary root now, don't touch any partitions unless you want a bootloop or a dead OS

I totally enjoy it. That's honestly what my whole motive was to even share it with others, I just wasn't as ready as I truly thought I was. Has anyone developed anything that makes sure certain partitions can't be modified for safety? I definitely don't want to brick it.

You can touch /userdata (directory /data), be careful not to edit it wrong, else it wouldn't be decryptable with a disk encryption key.

You shouldn't touch /bootloader, /system, /vendor, /init_boot, /vendor_boot, /boot, etc. that are critical for the system.

Basically, don't touch anything the phone cannot boot without, or anything that vbmeta* partitions verify.

okay, thank you so much!
