Create codename Orca v.0 to launch internally to the team

[tpregueiro]

Background

We already have a working version of adblockplus working on top of chromium for Android. We would like to start distributing a version of it to the team internally, to get their first impressions.

What to change

• Create a build with existing code (chromium+ABP)
• Change the icon
• Change the name of the App to Orca
• Change the namespace to avoid conflict with other chromium based browsers people may have on their phones
• Add a basic versioning

Archive containing assets needed to kickstart the development process

[martin]

I updated this ticket with all assets needed to begin working on the project. Let me know if anything is missing or broken.

We'll also need a ticket to create a repository. @Jens, Diego, Anton, would you like to work with Mercurial or GitLab?

[jwangenheim]

Gitlab is fine for me

[diegocarloslima]

Gitlab is fine for me too

[asmirnov]

Gitlab for sure

[mario]

An internal issue for creating the Repo has been created: #7382 on Hub.
You should get invitations soon.

[jwangenheim]

Should we add a distribution tool in a separate ticket (HockeyApp or something similar)?

[asmirnov]

We will have to merge the changes for #6263 (and #6273 is logical continuation of the issue) to new repository (for Orca) i've added #6273 as blocking ticket.

@martin, new icon sizes required.

See icon dimensions in ​https://gitlab.com/adblockplus/chromium/tree/master/chrome/android/java/res_chromium/drawable- ...
Also it would be great to have 'product_logo_name' files: ​https://gitlab.com/adblockplus/chromium/blob/master/chrome/android/java/res_chromium/drawable-hdpi/product_logo_name.png
(see other dirs) too.

Could you prepare other files to be overriden, e.g ​https://gitlab.com/adblockplus/chromium/tree/master/chrome/android/java/res_chromium/mipmap-hdpi/app_shortcut_icon.png and app_single_page_icon.png.

BTW please check you have transparency in .png (it seems it's just white background instead at the moment).

For the time being, and after discussion with the team we agreed to ditch the requirement to add a splash screen. Updating the ticket description

[asmirnov]

We could use FirstRunActivity for onboarding: ​https://gitlab.com/adblockplus/chromium/blob/abp/chrome/android/java/src/org/chromium/chrome/browser/firstrun/FirstRunActivity.java

[martin]

@asmirnov I included a new archive containing the missing assets. Let me know if anything needs fixing.

[asmirnov]

I believe we should not just hardcode "Orca" string to the files, but update them while building.
