Delta Patcher Android

Delta Patcher Android is an android "fork" of marco-calautti's DeltaPatcher.

This is an (android) GUI software that is able to create and apply xdelta patches as the ones supported by the xdelta tool developed by Joshua McDonald.

Thanks to marco-calautti for the original implantation which was heavily used by me as a reference for the Android software

Usage notes

• Due to the way Android Storage APIs work, ROMs / patches with large file sizes will take a semi-long amount of time to patch.

  • The app should be able to work in the background.

• It is recommended to exit the app via the exit button near the settings icon or via the notification exit button.

  • If the app's cache builds up, just do one of the above or clear it manually.## Building

Note

We are looking for someone to create a proper app icon for this project.
