rom factory

There is no full stop in the development for android devices, while most of the developments falls in the category of roms and kernels, there is always a gem fall into our lap to surprise us. Here is the ever popular Fruitcake Maker aka Rom Factory which is a popular tool that has made its rounds around many popular and unpopular android devices over the last several months. The tool is gaining popularity as a fun and useful tool for devs and users alike. However it was only a matter of time before this tool made its way for the Motorola triumph and is now making its way to the better and bigger phones like Motorola Atrix 4G and the Samsung Galaxy SII.

For those who don’t know what Rom Factory is, XDA Senior Member samcripp has created a tool that will allow users to create a picture perfect.img from your boot and system partition and will make a fully functional flashable update.zip out of them. What comes into my mind with this that devs and users alike can develop a rom and edit too and the most out of it is users can create a backup in the form of flashable zips.

Here is a list of supported devices:-

olympus (atrix), sunfire (photon), triumph, WX435, fb0 (triumph), p999 (lg g2x), p990 (lg o2x), p970 (lg optimus black), ace (htc desired hd), pyramid (htc sensation), galaxys2, GT-I9100, GT-I9100M, GT-I9100T, SGH-I777, SGH-I727, hercules, crespo (nexus s), crespo4g (nexus s 4g), toro (cdma galaxy nexus), maguro (gsm galaxy nexus)

As the tool makes a copy of the /system partition, any modification such as themes or tweaks will be copied as well so the developers can mod their rom and then use Rom Factory to make a rom with all the modifications and tweaks ready for flashing. Likewise when a user gets their customized rom in their way, the will be only a few clicks away for making it ready to re-flash any time.
