This is a minimal webosbrew Homebrew Channel autostart application relying on "Input Apps" functionality.
- Registers itself as an input app - this makes the app launch on next boot
- Binds mounts over /var/lib/eim (where last input app/eligible input apps are stored) to an alternative path, so input app changes will not be replace webosbrew-autostart in original storage directory. This is the crucial part that makes this work on every reboot.
- Launches luna://org.webosbrew.hbchannel.service/autostart (which runs as root and executes all startup hooks/services)
- Removes itself from an input app list to reduce annoyance - this will only modify our overlay, not the underlying storage.
- If last input app in alternative storage is not our autostart app - automatically launch last running app
Note: This is a complete rewrite of https://github.com/kopiro/webosbrew-autostart
Note2: This repo is a fork of the abovementioned rewrite. It enhances compatibility with some webOS versions (well, at least mine: webOS 3.4), see this issue for more context.
