A GUI utility for reading, editing and creating YAFFS2 file system images. I created this when I was interested in modding my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play phone. At the time, the only tools available were command line apps that were somewhat cumbersome. This UI tool made modding much easier and many modders found this very useful.

Created in 2012. It was used to read and create Android system and data partitions. Files could be easily added or extracted from existing images. Originally built using Qt 4.8.1 and later updated to Qt 5.8.0. It was hosted on Google Code where before being archived boasted over 100,000 downloads!

• Create new YAFFS2 image

• Open existing image

• Export files & directories from image

• Import files & directories (permissions inherited from parent directory, dates created/modified/accessed set to current date & time)

• Import using dialog or drag & drop

• Delete files

• Edit filenames

• Edit permissions

• Edit user and group ids

• Edit symbolic link aliases

• ECC (Error Checking & Correction) support

This simple command line app allows highlighting some text passed to stdin by inserting ANSI escape codes that are compatible with many shells. The desired text can be highlighted by providing a color option.

I originally created this to help with scanning through thousands of lines of Android logging. Many times I've found myself searching through logs searching for a specific line or keyword. I thought there must be a way to simply make some text stand out but after a lot of searching I couldn't find what I wanted.

Created way back in 2009 with Qt 4 for Windows XP, this small utility made it much easier to edit the PATH environment variable. The interface in Windows for editing environment variables is now far better than it once was. The PATH is one long string stored in the registry and it used to be displayed all on a single line. This tool replaces the delimiter between paths with a new line and neatly presents it in large resizable editable text field. When saved, the registry entry is updated and an environment setting changed message is broadcast to the system so the new value immediately takes effect (except for any open command prompts).
