[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gleenfield97:
It seems later version (>=3.6.1) of the rom I'm using is not compatible with auto-patcher (v2.9.1 on ApG 2.5.7.8). I'm able to patch (also v2.9.1) on older version of the rom. Since the issue more probably caused by the rom, should I inform the rom dev? If so, how?
