OTA Updates

A useful tool to help custom ROM developers provide Over-The-Air updates.

BETA: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ota.updates

Please help beta test the latest version of the app and give feedback :)

This app is for custom ROM users and developers alike.

★ You MUST be running a custom ROM to use this app. Your ROM developer MUST be using this app explicitly in order to distribute their ROM.

★ If you are not running a custom ROM, this app is not for you. Your device is incompatible.

★ Please do not leave a 1 star review if you are running a stock ROM, or it is not supported. This is negatively affecting the app's rating unjustly. It is not up to me to make your ROM compatible!

★ Optimised for Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat and Lollipop with matching UI themes to suit each API.

★ Fully ARM 64-bit compatible.

For users:

Once installed, you will receive notifications when an update is available for your ROM. You can choose whether to check automatically in the background, with all the usual notification controls you'd expect. You can also setup OpenRecoveryScript options to help automate your installation process.

More features will be added in the future.

For Developers:

There are some comprehensive instructions on how to get this working on the Github links below. It's very easy to get going though. All you need are some build.prop values adding to your ROM, a manifest XML document and somewhere to host your ROM (you may use direct links or HTTP links).

If you prefer you can use http://romhut.com to freely host your ROM, which will provide direct links for the OTA Updates and generate your manifest XML for you! Or, you can do these things manually if you like to have that little bit of extra control.

I would rather fix problems than you leave a bad rating. Me fixing things benefits everyone.
