• Check if no extra / missing spaces

3. How to

For following below description, replace codename with your device codename.

3.1 Initial support

After you contacted althafvly on Telegram or Anush Madathumkara on Telegram, and have the approval, follow the below steps.

1. Fork this repo to your own GitHub
2. Create a copy jasmine_sprout.json for your codename.json and fill needed stuff
3. Create a file named changelog_codename.txt and add your changelog in it.
4. Submit a pull request to this repo (this way we validate that you understood the requirements and if all is good you'll be granted direct push access to this repo)

3.2 Update build

1. Clone this repo locally

git clone https://github.com/SpiceOS/android_packages_apps_Updater_Db.git -b 11

2. Change to the directory where you cloned this repo (android_packages_apps_Updater_Db) and fetch updates from repo.

cd android_packages_apps_Updater_Db
git fetch --all
git pull

3. Copy codename.json file from out dir (where your SpiceOS zip is compiled) over to this repo folder (android_packages_apps_Updater_Db).
4. Make changes to changelog_codename.txt and save it.
5. Now with the files updated, commit your update to this repo.

git add .
git commit #(this opens up your prefered text editor, so write a nice description like "<device codename>: update build")
git push #you may be prompted for your github username and password
