v3 - Introducing Android Partition Tools

CRB Kitchen, But for Linux and 100% OSS

Compatibility: Any Debian/Ubuntu-based x86_64 operating system.

• Other distros like Arch or Fedora are not supported yet due to an SELinux context labeling issue (every file gets labeled as unlabeled_t)
• It's an issue with the distros themselves, not with my tool.
• Incorrect SELinux labels = bootloop
• As of my testing, only Debian/Ubuntu-based distros handle SELinux labels for Android images correctly

Features:

[ Single Partition Tools ]

• Unpack & Repack individual partition images (system.img, vendor.img, etc)

• Preserves all filesystem metadata (SELinux contexts, permissions, ownership)

• Supports EROFS with selectable compression (none, lz4, lz4hc, deflate)

• Supports EXT4 with "Strict" (clone) and "Flexible" (auto-resize) modes.

• Creates both sparse and raw output images.

[ Automation & Environment ]

• Fully automates single-partition/super image tasks via non-interactive .conf files.

• automatically manages dependencies.

• Portable via a self-contained ./bin directory for core tools.

[ Super Image Kitchen ]

• Unpacks a full super.img to its raw file content in a single, automated step.

• Creates self-contained project directories for each super image.

• Features an interactive menu to create a persistent, per-partition repack config.

• Repacks an entire project from file content to a final super.img in a single step.

• Automates the entire build chain: Content -> Logical Images -> Final Super Image.

• Cleans up all intermediate temporary files automatically.
