Important Notes

NanoDroid can no longer be flashed through Magisk Manager!

While flashing through Magisk Manager worked for most users
in most cases, it did not always, if it failed it caused
major headache, thus the change.

The following packages now require flashing through TWRP:
- NanoDroid (Full)
- NanoDroid-microG
- NanoDroid-FDroid
- NanoDroid-BromiteWebView

The following packages always required flashing through TRWP:
- NanoDroid-Uninstaller
- NanoDroid-SetupWizard

The following package can still be flashed trough Magisk Manager:
- NanoDroid-Patcher

Of course installation as Magisk Module is not effected.
