###Attention ** I am no longer maintaining the auto-patcher, as I can no longer vouch for the efficacy of this project. Maintaining OpenPDroid takes a firm grasp of what is going on within the Android rom culture and code and I cannot do that anymore. Better to gracefully shutter than let users down.**
** I will, however, respond to github issues on the OpenPDroidPatches and patchScripts, because if someone tech-savvy enough to build their own ROM wants to try the code, that is totally awesome :) I am considering even pushing the patches forward to Android 4.5, we'll see. But the one-click installation is ended, I would like people to migrate to more rigourously maintained solutions. Good luck, and thanks for everything! **
These are the current build patches for Android 4.4 and should generally reflect the current state of the android-4.4_r1-openpdroid branch. I made the switch back to creating patches off of tags with Android 4.3, now the naming reflects that. If a tag comes out that significantly breaks the patches, then a new branch will be created.
The latest commits are not always reflected in the build patches, bleeding-edge development is in the -devel branches. Bleeding edge development is coming slowly these days, no one realizes this more than me. If you think community driven security is a good thing, you are encouraged to contribute.
There are apply
and remove
patch scripts available that I personally use over at my personal github page. A couple of those scripts also create auto-patcher patches, but the apply/remove scripts could be helpful to anyone reading this.
__These build patches should work for most roms. I try and maintain them to apply cleanly to almost all AOSP-derived firmware (CyanogenMod, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, SlimRom, etc.)

If OpenPDroid intrigues you, yet the thought of applying all these patches gives you pause, there is a tool that can attempt to patch the framework of an already compiled rom called The Auto-Patcher.
OpenPDroid is an open source fork of the PDroid framework, as written by Svyat and expanded by CollegeDev. We are always looking for contributors, come see us on XDA or submit a pull request.
