A decompiler and code-injector for Android ROMs. A bash script that takes a deodexed ROM.zip as argument and outputs a update.zip to be flashed on top of that original ROM.
Designed to run on Linux, OSX and Windows (using Cygwin)
We support all open source ROMs. If your favorite ROM has a failed patch, open an issue here and provide:
* auto_patcher log
* link to ROM source code here on github
* download link for ROM.zip
#####Features:
* Can patch jars, apks, boot.img, and text files.
* Automatic updating.
* Everytime you run the auto_patcher, it will pull the latest upstream changes. You can turn this feature off by editing the .config file after first run.
* import any type of image or file
#####Requirements for execution
* jdk, cpio, patch, git
* git is only required for automatic updating
N.B.: Our most popular patch, for openpdroid, requires a completely open-source framework. That generally means no stock ROMs will patch successfully since the OEMs do not release full source code of their software. This includes the Nexus line- there is plenty of proprietary code on Nexus devices and they resist clean patching.
You will need to prep the enviroment before the first run, or after making your own changes/patches:
$./batch.sh
$./auto_patcher <ROMNAME>.zip <MODTYPE>
* ```ROMNAME``` is the literal name of the Rom.
* ```MODTYPE``` would be a list of offered mods (as seen in the -h menu), separated by
commas and NO SPACES.
example:
$./auto_patcher cm-10-OFFICIAL-20120820-grouper.zip openpdroid,tabletUI
We used to ask for several other arguments, like date and romtype. Those are now deprecated.
$./auto_patcher -h
The available mods are
****************************************************
* pdroid openpdroid voice v6supercharger *
* voice insecure secure external_internal *
* tabletUI 3gdongle pd2.0 *
****************************************************
To find out more about any mod, simply enter:
./auto_patcher -h <MODNAME>
This will check our various dependancies and provide some useful information.

Open an issue on this github page if a patch needs updating or if the community has failed to adequately answer your question.
If you are a developer who has a mod you would like supported, please open an issue here on github
Pull requests are treasured! I provide a suite of auto_patcher patch creation scripts here on github as well. The work flow is dead simple, build a modded/unmodded pair of your target rom. We will decompile, diff and distribute!
