DetailsDescription:
android-udev is better suited to be an optional dependency rather than a mandatory dependency of android-tools. 1. A brief look at the udev rules file provided by the android-udev package indicates that rules for most modern smartphones, including Pixel 4, Pixel 5, OnePlus 7 to 9, Samsung S20 etc, aren't present. 2. The adb binary can connect to android devices in a wireless manner using TCP ports which doesn't need android-udev rules. 3. The android-udev package also pulls in the libmtp package which unnecessarily probes USB devices and fills the journal. 4. The source for android-tools on github also does not list android-udev as a mandatory dependency. Additional info: * package version(s) - 31.0.3 |
