Add support for Android 9

[howyay]

It would be nice if this tool could support AndroidP since many custom roms are coming out this year which are based on Android 9

It will be supported but if you (or someone else) can send me a copy of framework.jar from Android 9 the support will come earlier.

EDIT: here is the framework.jar https://www19.zippyshare.com/v/7JJYSk4I/file.html

@HaoyeTang @n0aaz

The patching process should now work, but keep a backup of the file since I cannot test it and I cannot grant it is working correctly.

Have you tested it?

Nope , got this error and after reboot signature spoofing is still disabled

[n0aaz]

However, it gets through the whole process if i patch while the phone is in recovery . But signature spoofing is still disabled.
Edit: before you ask , tried with both python and python3 , no change , and my rom is deodexed (services.jar effectively contains a services.dex)

[toshokan]

I am also seeing this issue. The process completes in recovery, but signature spoofing still does not work.

[sputnick-dev]

Patched my system in recovery, no error, but no 'signature spoofing' on LineageOS 16.0 alpha (Android 9).

Is it still for a future release or this should work ?

Any workaround ?

[valpackett]

The NanoDroid's on-device patcher, which does work, patches services.jar instead of framework.jar
