TIL: Extract vendor blobs from stock ROM using 'extract-files.sh' in LineageOS device trees. It pulls proprietary binaries needed for hardware to function. Camera, GPS, sensors won't work without these.


```bash
# Connect device with stock ROM
./extract-files.sh

# Or extract from ROM zip
./extract-files.sh /path/to/stock-rom.zip
```
