Automating the installation of Magisk on Android devices can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with patching images. While Magisk provides instructions for manual patching, https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/95d1e69d8e21b7258dfe54e60d146a8d220991c2/docs/install.md?plain=1#L144-L146 highlights that this process typically requires user interaction.

This presents a problem for users seeking to automate Magisk installation, as relying on simulated user interactions can be unreliable. A more robust solution would be to provide a method for patching images directly via ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

Here's a proposal:

* **Implement ADB commands:**

Add ADB commands that facilitate patching the image directly.

For example, a command like:

```
adb shell am start -n com.yourpackage/com.yourpackage.YourActivity --es extraKey extraValue
```

(adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/a/20373251)

could be used to initiate the patching process via ADB.

**Workaround (unreliable):**

Though less than ideal, patching could be attempted by automating user interactions. However, this approach lacks reliability and may encounter issues due to the dynamic nature of Android's user interface.
