It is not a simple thing to sort out PD code repositories. Over 2000 forked repositories on Github alone. Of those, about 150 built APK's. About 170 unique repositories of mods that can be compiled. The rest... copies of PD or SPD with no changes are the majority. Worse, are ones like Sexy PD. (a 1.7.4 SPD core) that changed 8 file's with what was likely a GREP tool to replace "Shattered" with "Sexy". That is the only change, which means big waste of time and bandwidth. Moreso, I have found about 40 such repositories, all associated to a school project to modify SPD code, and then seemingly abandoned. That is just one repository server of about 50 I have been routing in to find forgotton PD's. Very time consuming and often frustrating. That is just the finding... after comes the building, and that can be just as bad. I do not even store most of the APK info, just the APK's.
Because most archivists stopped around 2020, I am seeking a tool to help build new database. I am looking, without finding, a tool like APK Analyzer
However, as pointed out, that tool doesn't create reports. I want -
1.) It can generate output report
2.) It can do batch APK's (folder select)
3.) Prefer it save icon with data
If anyone can provide, I will process my 300+ PD APK's and provide report to public. Thank you.
Okay, done this.
