Porters Companion

一个简单的工具，可在移植ROM时帮助进行设备调试

Porting ROMs for devices whose kernel source is not readily available can be tricky, and very frustrating at times!

This tool aims to make things a little easier.

Every guide on creating a ROM port suggests that you only change one lib at a time, however I have found this approach can sometimes leave you with bugs that cannot be fixed.

Sometimes to fix bugs it is necessary to change not just one single lib but also the dependencies of this lib.

This is where Porters Companion can help!

Porters Companion provides 2 simple functions:

The first is an ELF dependency viewer.

While this is primarily designed to show the dependencies of a .so library, it could be used to view the dependencies of any ELF file.

The second is a simple Magisk module creator.

This can be used to create simple system file replacement modules, allowing you to test lib changes on the go. Eliminating the need to rebuild your whole ROM just to test a few simple lib changes.
