"Wait for 30 seconds before proceeding"

You've probably not noticed this and if you did it probably didn't make a dent in your life.
If your bootloader is unlocked then every time your device reboots (including powering up from fully off) it will wait for 30 seconds.
The idea is to display a warning that your device is unlocked.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) there is no warning implemented so it's rather pointless.
I've wasted years of time waiting for this 30 seconds as I've switched between edl, fastboot, recovery, system.

So, I wrote a patch for abl (the Android bootloader) that skips this delay.
It's only a teensy mod but of course it requires unpacking/packing/rehashing.
I have it running on my Poke3 just fine. It's a dandy improvement (for me).
If you'd like the same for your device, just pull and give me a copy of your abl.
