TEST BUILD ONLY WD2:

TWRP with working Touch screen test implementation of EGL fixed and Vulkan Drivers (TEST BUILDS)

I've decided to make a test build post if new builds of TWRP, I have made all touch screens work, I'm attempting to fix the EGL bug which prevents some GSIs from booting without flashing the stock recovery Test Build 1 (Stable)...

ALL CREDIT ON THE MAGENDANZ BRANCH GOES TO MAGENDANZ,AS THIS TREE WAS HIS, I JUST ADDED THE TOUCHSCREEN DRIVER.

I'm pre making this post, watch it closely.

For months I've been researching the problems in magendanz twrp, let's make this clear, no hard feelings toward him, he made us a twrp that was useable, and nobody else has done this for this device

I want to make it clear, I've never made a twrp recovery, I am not one of the pros, I've got limited technology skills, and in fact I no way did this by myself

I wanted to make this post before the upload, this has been extremely challenging and stressful, I have a learning disability, I didn't understand half of what I was reading, I have literally spent months researching, asking people for help, learning to understand things I thought my brain was incapable of understanding

I'm going to update this in a few hours with a test build, I've made 10 broken builds prior to this but I've left no stone unturned researching all the flags and build info

It doesn't help that this device has thrown 1 problem after another my way, fix one thing, break another

Anyway I could go on all day but I've made my point, in a couple of hours I will upload .tar and .img files of all 3 recovery's, and I hope after my research it will be worth the time I've spent banging my head on brick walls (not literally)

Magendanz is partially responsible for this development, me and him had no communication but I started from his tree

I used an action builder from GitHub to save some time, but this did not write all the information in for me, so credit to [cd-Spidey]

SamDaaEpic another amature techy played no part in the build, but seeing the way he communicated with big names like phh and Ponces about gsis that weren't working on this device was inspirational, he's been messaging me with a bunch of errors every day, explaining errors I've never heard of and we've been communicating with gsi maintainers

Afanah92 (name may be spelt wrong) built the tree for S20 FE Snapdragon, I've researched his tree as I have this phone and taken notes from his recovery tree

Also the TWRP Recovery building support group on telegram (https://t.me/build_twrp/1) shout-out to Klabit for talking me through some things

Thank you to every single person who has been involved in this

I'll upload the recoveries as soon as they are built
