Question about the frame-resp.apk from the X10 leak

I tried to bake my own rom, but ti didn't work. My question is, can I just push the apk. to the phone? Or is it tied to possibly to something else and will not work?

isn't the X10 based on 1.6?? I doubt it wud ever work on the 2.0, let alone the 2.1

Didn't know that. Thanks.

of course it can work. the dump needs to be ported first, u can't just push .apk's.. they run on a highly customized framework that is all tied together and inter-related much like HTC sense.

Which is why I asked.

but, you should be able to pull most of the .pngs out of the x10 framework and port it into a theme for 2.0/2.1...
got a link to the x10 apk?

I would like to get theses png too... I search for the launcher png to make my own theme.
Do you know if they are available somewhere

Download the dump here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658063&highlight=dump
Then extract the apks and open them in any archive manager (winrar etc) and look for PNGs in the res/drawable folder. Most system wide stuff is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk

EDIT: OK, my mistake
I downloaded the sources and not the rar file

Euhhh, I just downloaded 73Mb file of X10..
I think there is a mistake because once the file uncompressed I get this:
A directory: X10_Donut_100325_01
1 sub-dir: esheep_linux
1sub-dir: LINUX
1sub-dir: android
3 sub dir: external - kernel - system.
If I go under system, i get: core/mtd and there nothing but .c files
I think that was a wrong file a downloaded but I cannot find an other one.
Sorry, but I try my best ;-)

I found some apk but no launcher.apk.
Only launcher.odex and i could'nt unzip it.
For all the other applications, that's OK.

Hello, sorry to annoy you again with my questions...
1) I downloaded the framework and extract all.
I extracted all the files but:
SonyX10/system/app/Launcher.apk - CRC failed
Total errors: 1

OMG, i had tu unzip hundreds of files that worked pretty well and the only one I need is the only one that failed????
I'm so unlucky.
Can someone send the launcher.apk to me?

Here is the un-odexed X10 dump I have... Ready to be played with...

Also, here is an X10 theme for CM 5.0.6 that I have been working on...
http://www.4shared.com/file/CKUM0CAj/zapmi_X10_103.html
Enjoy!

Thank you for both link that work pretty well. Thank a lot!
I found all I wanted except one thing: do you know where is the background of the "quick settings" widget?
The number one on the picture, the launcher was easy to find in the launcher.apk.

If you are just using images I would say metamorph is the only option I know of that can replace files in .apk on the fly. Its not a flashable zip though.

Give this a try... this will port png's from one rom to another. you just need to pull the framwork-res.apk and resources.apk from framework from your rom and put it in the "new" folder. and put the same apk's from the theme you want to port in the "old" folder, both under the framework folder with in the "new" and "old" folders. and run the script.... there are also app folders for any themed apps that you want to port also.... same thing with those, yours in the new and the themed ones to port in the old.... Just remember, these are only png ports, you still need to do xml edits if there are any...
this is not my work, found it here on xda a very long time ago and don't remember from who but thanx to him or them......

[TOOL][PORT] Autodeodexer 2.3a for the Epic 4G Froyo - Windows

Honestly, I do not know how much interest there will be in this, but throughout my own exploration and experimentation with Android and the Epic 4G I feel like sharing my finds with the community.
I kanged this tool from HERE so thanks to Daneshm90 among other people who are thanked in the tool itself. All I really did was add a few BOOTCLASSPATHS to the *APK.bat files to get it to deodex all the apks, and update smali/baksmali to version 1.2.6 (newest as of 3/25/11).
Basically this is a one click tool to deodex stock, odexed system/framework and system/app folders on a windows machine. I tested on the ACS Untouched Stock EC05 ROM and got clean runs where everything became deodexed.
Tips: I found it best to do system/framework first in one run, then leave the output in deodexed_JAR, and THEN process system/app as many of the files in the app folder have dependencies on the jars.
After processing system/framework you will have framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk which do not need deodexing.
In early testing, I found certain files leftover after a run processed on the next run. This stopped after updating smali/baksmali. I doubt I'll be of much help if you run into problems, you are doing EVERYTHING at your own risk. I barely understand the details here, I just ported it to work on our phone, so good luck!

[Q] CM 6 Theming

Hope posting this here is OK- I never get answers in Q&A...
I have made & modified themes for the SE stock 'rom' and as you know the framework-res and system apks do not need to be recompiled or signed when just exchanging images.
Is it the same for CM 6 'roms'?
I am looking into theming Wolfbreak's rom and noticed the framework-res that I'm using as a base says "signed by SignApk" when I open it in winrar.
Do I need to recompile & sign or not?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You dont need to sign regardless of OS if you are only swapping images for system files. But remember to use optimized pngs and zipalign as final step to minimize resources consumption.
If you are modding any resources.arsc you need to decompile to do that and recompile and sing accordingly.

Ok, thanks- just making sure... the winrar message threw me off...

[HOW-TO] Port US S3 ROMs between carriers

Porting TouchWiz ROMs​
This guide is intended to help you port ROMs from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint over to the Verizon S3. The guide will be split into two different parts. Porting CDMA to CDMA and porting CDMA to GSM.
Just so there's no confusion:
CDMA Carriers:
Verizon
Sprint
GSM Carriers:
AT&T
T-Mobile
REMEMBER: If you choose to port a ROM from another carrier, be sure to ask permission to post from the developer.
What you need
7zip
Notepad++ (If on Windows)
A ROM you want to port
A ROM from your carrier/device
Knowledge on how to compile and recompile .jar files (I will not cover this)
Make sure the ROM you want to port and the ROM you are using as a base are the same Android version (e.g. 4.1.2) and have the same chip (e.g. MSM8960). You will be able to determine the chip type from the build.prop​
PORTING CDMA TO CDMA (i.e. SPRINT TO VERIZON)​
Download the ROM you want to port
Download a ROM from your carrier
Unzip both ROMS
In the ROM you want to port - delete /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Replace the apns-conf.xml you just deleted with the one from the ROM for your carrier
In the ROM you want to port - delete /system/framework/GlobalConfig.jar (This .jar file contains a lot of carrier information)
Replace the GlobalConfig.jar you just deleted with the one from the ROM for your carrier
In the ROM for your carrier, locate the following lib files in system/lib and copy them over to the ROM you want to port
libreference-ril.so
libril.so
libril-qc-qmi-1.so
libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
libsecril-client.so
If your carrier is Verizon and you're porting a Sprint ROM, delete all the apps with "Sprint" in the name including these:
SecContacts.apk
SecPhone.apk
PhoneInfo.apk
Replace SecContacts.apk and SecPhone.apk with the Verizon ones.​
In the ROM you want to port - open up /system/build.prop in Notepad++
Locate every instance of d2att, d2tmo, or d2spr and replace it with d2vzw (Use CTRL+F if you have to)
Save the build.prop after all changes are made
In system/framework/ of BOTH ROMs, decompile framework.jar and framework2.jar
In the framework.jar of the ROM you want to port - delete the following folders:
smali/android/provider
smali/android/telephony
smali/android/server
smali/android/service
smali/com/android/internal/telephony
Replace them with the folders from the ROM for your carrier
In the framework2.jar of the ROM you want to port - delete the following folders:
smali/android/provider
smali/android/telephony
smali/android/server
smali/com/android/internal/telephony
smali/com/google/android/mms
Replace them with the folders from the ROM for your carrier
Build all of the jar files when finished (Please note that replacing the above folders will make the ROM operational to the point where MMS will work, but you may encounter other weird superficial errors. It's just too much work to go into the specifics.)
Re-zip the ROM you want to port
Flash in recovery
PORTING CDMA TO GSM (i.e. VERIZON TO T-MOBILE & ATT / SPRINT TO T-MOBILE & ATT)​
Download the ROM you want to port
Download a ROM from your carrier
Unzip both ROMS
In the ROM you want to port - delete /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Replace the apns-conf.xml you just deleted with the one from the ROM for your carrier
In the ROM you want to port - delete /system/framework/GlobalConfig.jar (This .jar file contains a lot of carrier information)
Replace the GlobalConfig.jar you just deleted with the one from the ROM for your carrier
In the ROM for your carrier, locate the following lib files in system/lib and copy them over to the ROM you want to port
libreference-ril.so
libril.so
libril-qc-qmi-1.so
libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
libsecril-client.so
Delete the following apps and replace them with the ones from your carrier:
SecContacts.apk
SecPhone.apk
In the ROM you want to port - open up /system/build.prop in Notepad++
Locate every instance of d2att, d2tmo, or d2spr and replace it with d2vzw (Use CTRL+F if you have to)
Save the build.prop after all changes are made
In system/framework/ of BOTH ROMs, decompile android.policy.jar, framework.jar, framework2.jar, and services.jar
You need to go through every smali file in all of the .jars and replace all instances of "Sprint" with "Verizon" or "Verizon" with "Sprint" depending on your carrier
In the framework.jar of the ROM you want to port - delete the following folders:
smali/android/provider
smali/android/telephony
smali/android/server
smali/android/service
smali/com/android/internal/telephony
Replace them with the folders from the ROM for your carrier
In the framework2.jar of the ROM you want to port - delete the following folders:
smali/android/provider
smali/android/telephony
smali/android/server
smali/com/android/internal/telephony
smali/com/google/android/mms
Replace them with the folders from the ROM for your carrier
Build all of the jar files when finished (Please note that replacing the above folders will make the ROM operational to the point where MMS will work, but you may encounter other weird superficial errors. It's just too much work to go into the specifics.)
Navigate to system/framework/ in both ROMs
Open framework-res.apk from both ROMs in 7zip
In framework-res.apk in both ROMs navigate to /res/xml/
Delete eri.xml from the framework-res in the ROM you want to port
Replace the deleted eri.xml with the one from the ROM for your carrier
Save and close the modified framework-res.apk
Re-zip the ROM you want to port
Flash in recovery
Obviously this guide will not work on more difficult ports such as bringing Sense to the S3, but the end result is that we will hopefully see more ROMs in the thread.
Thanks TrevE

Porting AOSP ROMs
================================ START ================================​
What you need
7zip
Notepad++ (If on Windows)
An AOSP ROM you want to port
An AOSP ROM from your carrier/device
Make sure the ROM you want to port and the ROM you are using as a base are the same Android version (e.g. 4.1.1)​
I will do the AOSP porting section with an example. Say I want to port Paranoid Android:
Download Paranoid Android (Android 4.2)
Download CM10.1 (Android 4.2)
Unzip both ROMs
In the CM 10.1 folder delete the following folders/files:
/system/framework
/system/app
/system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so
/system/media (optional)
/system/fonts (optional)
Add the following folders from the PA ROM into the CM10.1 ROM:
/system/framework
/system/app
/system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so
/system/media (only if you deleted from CM10.1)
/system/fonts (only if you deleted from CM10.1)
Only do the following if you are porting from GSM to CDMA or CDMA to GSM (i.e. Porting an AT&T ROM to Verizon)
Navigate to system/framework/ in both ROMs
Open framework-res.apk from both ROMs in 7zip
In framework-res.apk in both ROMs navigate to /res/xml/
Delete eri.xml
Replace the deleted eri.xml with the one from your base ROM
Save and close framework-res.apk
Re-zip and flash in recovery
================================ END ================================​
If the ROM does not boot up, try a different ROM. For example, if you tried to port Paranoid Android 4.2 from AT&T and it didn't work. Try Paranoid Android from T-Mobile or the Galaxy Nexus, etc.

Wicked Sensation: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092763137
This ROM is completely based on Sprint's OTA. It will work with KindaCrapMods due to the framework being about 95% similar to the Verizon version. However, the 5% difference may induce abnormal behavior such as irregular lockscreen clock readings. Also, the ROM does not include any tweaks outside of what is present in the original release.
I WILL NOT be maintaining this ROM so if you want to see updates, start a thread for it.

It's better to build AOSP from source if you can. In any case I'll update my reserved post with a how-to for AOSP ROMs (may or may not work for you).

Yes. I always use TWRP. If you're trying to flash the Wicked Sensation ROM - it takes a long time to boot up.

Yes, that's correct. However, if it does not work try porting PA from another device like one of the other US S3s.

but the PA from other US devices are not running 4.2.1 which CM10.1 is. All PAs are running 4.1.x on US GS3. So would it not be possible to port them since they are two different JB versions?

Can this help us bring Premium Suite over to us? Want it bad

You don't have to port PA from the US S3s. You can port 4.2 PA from the GNex forums if you want.

Unfortunately not. Porting that is much more complicated than what's described in this thread. I pretty much already ported multi-window and the ink effect so doing the rest doesn't seem too far fetched.

Thinking it's a bad upload... Same immediate failed message...
