Software GearLock — Custom Recovery Replacement for Android-x86 7.3.3
GearLock is a command line program to help you customize & install custom software in your android-x86 OS. It has the capability of running in both GUI and TERMINAL with a early-recovery mode. GearLock has been a part of DarkMatter project until now, but I decided to make it universal for any android-x86 OS
Feature List
- Install any custom kernel / mesa or pretty much anything. There are also tons of other extension & packages available in our RESOURCES section for you to install with a powerful package-manager.
Install flashable zip files. (BETA)
- MidNight Commander FileManager integration in recovery mode.
- Repair corrupted EXT partitions before booting up the OS.
Backup & restore your whole data

GoogleLess Mode feature
Unity Game Engine Crash Fix
Resolve the issue for magisk installation, in which magisk makes the tty unusable
SU-Handler for switching between SuperSU & MagiskSU
Introducing GearProp , which can force overwrite any system property.
Purge / remove extra kernel modules from your system
MultiLang support with UTF8. (EN, VN, CN, ES)
Record screen with audio without any app. (Directly from gearlock with internal audio support)
Very developer friendly with tons of easy to use tools
Disable / Enable Laptop touchpad or keyboard
Extensible by installing custom extensions
Supported android-x86 OS List
- Official Android-x86
- Official PhoenixOS & DarkMatter
- Official PrimeOS
- Official BlissOS
- Official RemixOS
- LineageOS x86
Boot-Flags
You can control the behavior of GearLock early recovery screen with boot-flags.
There are three kinds of flags you can use
- NORECOVERY
- ALWAYSRECOVERY
- FIXFS
- NOGFX
In simple words, GearLock brings a whole range of pure linux utilities. Which includes bash, python, coreutils, nano and more ! (Runs system independently, meaning even if you delete the whole system these are still executable)
Not only that, let me introduce you to GearLock-Dev-Kit. GDK is the thing which you can use for building such package/extension. There is also a ready-to-use kernel package-template alongside custom-core package for making extensions and so on.

Flashable ZIP Compatibility
If you want my honest word then you should know that about 99% of the available flashable zips out there will likely fail since they were never made for android-x86 and GearLock has nothing to do about that. In which most of them are flashable-roms which you obviously won’t be installing on android-x86. Currently I’ve had success with OpenGapps and a few other zips. Other than that will surely fail unless the developer itself implements android-x86 support.
First of all I’d like to thank everyone in our community because without you guys I wouldn’t be able to do such stuffs. It’s been a pleasure to be a part of this community. Thank you.
Special thanks to @HMTheBoy154 & @Night & @mido.fayad for bringing some awesome GearLock package & extensions alongside helping the community in various issues in their free time. They played a big role in this community They’ve been always there in the time of need.
Thanks to the beta testers : @AngusX , @dabombUSA , @Fazeel.abbas2 , @P.B | D.B , @Kenny
Thanks to everyone involved into the Android-x86 Project, because without it GearLock wouldn’t exist.
Some last words from me
I never thought I’d be able to do such stuffs before, it’s been an honor. More importantly, I really wanna thank android-x86. Because of it I could also learn a lot, yes and that includes some funny people also
It hasn’t been easy to keep up till here. Required a lot of patience and hard work to make it here.
Don’t forget to submit your review if you can

Android OS на x86
В этой теме обсуждаются вопросы общие для всех Андроидов на платформе x86, конкретно проект портирования Android-х86, а также его братья, не имеющие отдельных тем обсуждения на нашем форуме.
Android в виртуальную машину | Сайт и Форум проекта Android-х86 | Android от Intel
Вопросы, касающиеся только проектов Phoenix OS , Remix OS x86 и Bliss-x86 , обсуждаются в своих темах.
За работоспособность ваших устройств ответственность несёте исключительно Вы. Задавая вопрос, постарайтесь указать следующую информацию .
- Hardware List — список совместимого оборудования
- Графическое ускорение нормально работает на видеоадаптерах от AMD и Intel (кроме GMA 500, GMA 600, GMA 3600, GMA 3650, т.к. они основаны на PowerVR).
Графика nVidia поддерживается начиная с Android-x86 4.4-R3; новое поколение начинает поддерживаться после выхода следующего. - Ситуация с поддержкой планшетов, Критическое замечание о звуке.
- Чипы, которые реализуют одновременно и WiFi, и Bluetooth работают хуже, чем отдельные.
- Если Вы не нашли в шапке или в листе совместимости версию для вашего компьютера/ноутбука (модификации железа), то следует попробовать разные версии и опытным путём подобрать оптимальную.
- Загрузочную флешку или диск необходимо записать с помощью Rufus, UNetbootin, LiLi, или WinImage. UltraISO использовать не рекомендуется потому, что созданные им флешки мало где грузятся.
Раздел под Android рекомендуется форматировать в ext3 или ext4 (для версии 5.0 Lollipop и новее) чтобы иметь >4ГБ места под свои нужды и избежать проблем с SuperSU и другим софтом. Форматирование раздела лучше произвести до установки Android сторонним ПО (Acronis, GParted, др.): родной установщик не всегда справляется с этой задачей.

rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
Тут default указывает номер пункта, котоый будет выбран автоматически после истечения timeout секунд. root и rootnoverify указывают с какого диска, и с какого его раздела загружать выбраную операционную систему. Как и в случае с default, нумерация начинается с нуля. Параметры загрузки прописываются в конец строки, которая начинается со слова kernel. Такими параметрами можно повлиять на многие аспекты работы Андроида с железом. К примеру настроить работу с внешним монитором.
GRUB 2 — следующая версия GRUB. Разработчики писали GRUB 2 «с нуля», чтобы добиться переносимости и модульности.
Используется в образах Android-x86 для компьютеров с новым UEFI-BIOS.
Может хранить свои настроки в файле grub.cfg либо menu.lst. Обычно этот файл лежит на отдельном системном разделе EFI (ESP). Типичное содержимое:
set timeout=60
set gfxmode=1024×768

Gearlock android что это
Introduction 
GearLock is a dynamically written bash program focused in performance with the intension of making modifications in android-x86 easier.
It is also intended to replace the need for traditional custom-recovery software for android-x86 which are found in mobile phones.
GearLock was made in a different perspective unlike traditional custom-recovery software for mobile phones.
GearLock and everything within it are standalone programs and does not need to rely on the android system.
It can be used both GUI and TTY in a user-friendly manner, including advanced CLI usage.
Install any custom kernel / mesa or pretty much anything. There are also tons of other extension & packages available in our RESOURCES section for you to install with a powerful package-manager.
Install flashable zip files. (BETA)
Use RECOVERY-MODE even before your android starts.
Decompress / extend the size of your system image
Backup & restore your whole data
Mesa Version faker

And many more! This list is probably outdated, lol.
You can control the behavior of GearLock early recovery screen with boot-flags. There are three kinds of flags you can use.
Spoiler (more details)
- NORECOVERY
- ALWAYSRECOVERY
- FIXFS
- NOGFX
This helps you bypass the recovery countdown screen. You can either put NORECOVERY=1 in your grub-config or make a file named norecovery in your android-x86 partition.
Grub config example:
This lets you to auto-enter recovery mode always* without having to press ESC. Just like NORECOVERY, you can active this by grub ( ALWAYSRECOVERY=1 ) or by making a file named alwaysrecovery in android-x86 partition.
This will auto-fix extFS on each boot from the option which you find in recovery mode.
In other words, it will run fsck against your root partition.
When this flag is found, GearLock does not attempt to get the best possible visuals during RECOVERY-MODE. There are some really rare cases among some users in which when GearLock tries to ensure better visuals, kernel panic happens during boot.
Grub-Flag> NOGFX=1 File-Flag> nogfx

GearLock is being proudly integrated with the following reputed distros:
- BlissOS-x86
- PhoenixOS DarkMatter
If you’re working on a remarkable distro and want to bring GearLock into it then you’re welcome 🙂
Development and Contributing
Feel free to create a fork and help make this project even better.
Your commits should follow Conventional Commits specification, otherwise they will be rejected.
If you want to build GearLock then all you gotta do is run the following command:
- From android-x86 distros (assuming you have GearLock installed)
Then you should find the outputs at out/installer
If you want to test bare basic functionalities of GearLock within a linux-distro for development porposes then run:
For working over sources for the core files, take a look at core/ and core/_external_bin/
Also check core/_lang_/ if you want to improve the language translations and concurrent strings.
You might have noticed that there are prebuilt binaries in the repository but not their source code.
I would need to setup a complete build system for them, what I’ve been doing was hand-compiling them.
I will need a lot of free time to accomplish this since I’m a student, but you can surely expect this in the future.

Integration with Android-x86 source
Adaptation for Android-Generic Project was done by: @electrikjesus
Clone the repo into vendor/ from your aosp project root.
Lastly, build ISO
Android-Generic (x86/PC): build-x86 android_x86_64-userdebug
BlissOS 11.x: build-x86.sh android_x86_64-userdebug
Android-x86: lunch android_x86_64-userdebug && make -j4 iso_img
Credits and thanks
Here I’m trying to list all of the remarkable work by others which has been used to enrich GearLock.
Without their open-minded years of hard work, GearLock wouldn’t have been the same.
- The great legendary GNU communtiy for their free and opensource softwares.
