Rom Crawler is a new way to be sure your kept up to date with your favorite roms and mods.
Tired of Rom Manager not being up to date? Tired of checking daily to see if your rom finally got that update with those cool new toggles you've seen in the teasers? Well this is the app for you.
Rom Crawler will automatically parse out all .zip URLs from OPs in your devices development sub forum making it easy to download your roms without digging through cluttered OPs, etc.
Downloads are placed on your sdcard in the /t3hh4xx0r/romCrawler/ directory!
This app is at the moment a RootzWiki exclusive. It was built using their HTML skeleton as a base. XDA and other forums will be added soon.
-If no zips are displayed under the thread you select, don't bug me, bug your rom dev! Rom Crawler can only parse direct links to URLs. If your dev links to a folder, theres no way that Rom Crawler can parse out the links. Ask your dev to instead post direct links to their builds in their OP. If dev-host.org. Its a free hosting service that provides direct links.
-If your dev links to a php redirect, you will see the zip listed as blahblahblah/download.php?id=blahblahblah.zip. You can still download the file, though it will appear on your SD as download.php?=blahblahblah.zip. This will be fixed in future versions.
-If your device is not supported, I personally don't care. Mine is. :P If you would like to see your device added though, it's INCREDIBLY simple to add. Just visit github.com/t3hh4xx0r/RomCrawler and follow the instructions in the README. All thats needed is to add a single line. I will try to release an update as soon as new devices are added.
If you have issues with the app, please don't just give bad ratings and negative comments. Contact me and we will see if we can work it out.
This app has only been tested on 4.0.3 on the VZW Nexus, but it should work on 2.2+ and for ONLY the following devices. If your phone is not on this list, I don't know how much clearer I can put it. IT WILL NOT WORK. Note that just because its on this list still doesn't mean that it WILL work, just that it should. I don't have all these devices, there is no way for me to be sure it will work on them all.

This is similar to the free version, but with more features.
-Ad free!
-Long press on thread title will open link in browser. (Tapatalk doesn't currently have any intent to allow link to be launched in their app. According to their forums, it will be added soon. When they support this feature, I will happily add it.)
-Empty OPs display a message about no links being found, rather than returning an empty list.
-False links - sentences that end in .zip that would return on the free version - are no longer displayed.
-Updated UI.
Updates coming soon...
-Xda and other forum support.
