ROMEditToGo

Ever had this problem?

You are on the road, checking XDA and your favourite dev has just updated your ROM. You cannot wait until you come back home, but wait. There are all those apps you always remove from the ROMs before you flash them. And all your favourite MODs you need to add.

That's where ROMEditToGo comes in.

What it does

This app is for modifying ROM files. You can delete files (APKs for now) from the ROM. Also you may merge files from other ZIPs into the ROM (if they are already in there).

It is especially for those people, that want to modify some aspects of a ROM, but don't want to use a PC/Mac for that purpose.

You can open ROMs from the app or from any file explorer (any zip file).

You can define a default path for your ROM, so the dialog to choose ROMs will open this folder first (if you use OI File Manager).

There's also a backup option, in case you want to leave the source ROM unmodified.

Available Languages are English and German.

What it will do

I'm planning to implement some more features like

• • adding single files to the ROM

  • Maintain a (user-defined) list of commonly deleted files (e.g. Stocks.apk)

  • Implement forbidden files, which are needed for the ROMs to work

  • Check if file is a ROM

  • Customizing scripts

  • You name it...

What it does not

The ROM files are not signed. So you have to turn off verification in recovery. Also there are several APKs you should better leave in the ROM.

What you need

Android 2.2 installed

Caution

Removing APK files from the ROM may produce a file that is not able to start correctly. Please be careful when removing files. Make sure you have a copy of a working ROM, in case something went wrong.
