+relink-binaries.sh
+
+Intended to "relink" or change the linker path for a linked binary. Normally
+linked binaries are looking for the linker in /system/bin/linker (or
+/system/bin/linker64 for 64 bit devices). In recovery, we want to avoid
+mounting or using anything /system to allow us to install different
+ROMs or firmware. This script will run various sed commands to update the
+path to the linker to /sbin/linker64 or /sbin/linker which is sometimes
+needed especially for qseecomd (decrypt) or in some cases with user space
+touch screen binaries. Usage:
+
+./relink-binaries.sh filename
+
+The script will leave the existing file untouched and make a new file
+named filename-1-mod
+
+
+
+compare_xml.py
+
+Intended to compare two different language xml files to determine if any
+strings do not match up between the two files. Sometimes we add or rename
+or misspell string names. This script will help identify the discrepancies.
+Usage:
+
+python compare_xml.py -o target.xml
