Dear AU users:
I want to make a list of all the projects/themes/ROMs that AU helped make/optimize/perfect. If you all could be so kind as to post a link to your projects and I can put in op.
The goal: (a.) to demonstrate the scope of AU, and (b.) to show off all of your ideas and projects.
I would appreciate your help with this.
Sincerely yours,
Tommy

The GoodsA tool for Mac! AU will provide the tools necessary to begin theming projects, apk modifications, optimizations, and hacks. At the end of the day, I hope this project has helped you in doing these things.
AU can also help the user install and utilize apktool even if the user chooses not to use the Android Utility Interface.
Note, in some instances of the utility superuser permissions must be granted (sudo). Please be aware that the changes made are reversible and are not destructive to the Host Operating System.
Please READ Posts #1, 2, and 3 in their Entirety before proceeding.
Feel free to post concerns and bugs. This is still in development! Thank you.
