A quick update on my progess with updating my patchmanager-patches:

The bad news: I will no longer support my patches on patchmanager.

The good news:

I made something better!

I created the patchmanager alternative prepatch which doesn't rely on modifying files on disk but instead preloads a library which makes the applications think that the file has been modified.

If the file is opened in write mode or by a user that's not nemo (for example when updating) it will simply be opened as the old file to prevent problems.

That way ota-updates should work without any problems even with all (prepatch) patches applied.

Prepatch is also compatible with patchmanager so you can run both if you need to.

For further informations and install-instructions please read the readme on the github-page .

I have only ported my keyboard-swipe patch to it (now working on 2.1.4.14) for now but I will shortly port my other patches too.

Any help is greatly appreciated, especially with packaging prepatch+prepatch-patches so they can simply be installed using storeman.
