What kind of help are you looking for? Do you want suggestions on what to add? Are stuck on how to add a particular feature to your ROM? One thing you could try is compiling AOSP and using that as the base for your ROM a great guide on doing that can be found here and here (Official Google guide to building AOSP). I'll be happy to help you out best I can so let me know if you still have questions.

I am building it from stock. Right now the custom launcher won't open. Also after boot, it loops. Does the services.jar need a new odex if modified?

I fixed the launcher issue but not the services.jar. Also, the Trev-E mod WiFi tether app force closes when I flash Rom and boot

Glad you were able to fix that, my main suggestion would be to modify only one part of your ROM at time (Just like a science experiment) that way you know that if it doesn't work it's very likely because of the modification you just made. Also logcat will be a big help to help you figure out where things are causing problems and what things are causing problems.

Try updating the system apps to their latest version and pulling the apk's of the updates version then including these latest version updated apk's in your ROM :good:.

Also make sure in your ROM's updater-script the system apps you have added are given the proper file permissions.
I did a work-around and made added apps get flashed to /data/app. But Play Store still fc's. I modified the updater-script from another Rom for this phone, but I only added lines.

I have an issue with smali. I backsmali a classes.dex file. I can re package it with smali, when I don't edit files. If I edit any files within the output folder, I cannot repackage it with smali. It gives me an error... Unexpected top-level exception. And I cannot find any help online....

Hi,
since I don't really like the Glass lockscreen on YP-G1,I wanna change it to AOSP style.
However,UOT kitchen can't make it though I've tried many times uploading files
So,I searched for way to mod these files manually in forum.Like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969354
Stuck ROM's is fully odexed,so I got android.policy.jar and android.policy.odex.After decompiling android.policy.odex(340KB),editing codes,recompiling,I got a dex file(296KB).It was smaller than before,making me confused...
Then I renamed it to 'classes.dex' putting into android.policy.jar,and made a CWM zip and flashed it as usual.
Reboot,ah,just got a bootloop
Anyone could give me a hand?This stuff almost made me mad...
If AOSP lockscreen's codes were not exist in firmware,then what I've done was just in vain...
But Klin has succeed in changing lock style via UOT.So there should be sth wrong in editing these codes for me.
Keep working on it.

You have to change a method in android.policy.jar. I think it was in class lockpatternkeyguardview.

Hi,Klin.
Could you please send me your android.policy.jar and android.policy.odex?I downloaded your custom ROM R5,but couldn't be unpacked by UltraISO,even failed to mount the rfs file in Linux
Thax!
Ok, I'll give it to you when I get home this afternoon. But my rom is deodexed, so it doesn't have android.policy.jar.odex.
And also, the reason you can't mount the factoryfs.rfs is because it is an extremely image in an Odin flashable format. If you want it sooner, you could download r4 and mount it and take the file you need.

Thank you~
Starting to learn Android,I'm interested in everything about it.
Sorry for the delay, but here ya go.
There is no odex version because it is already deodexed.
So, would using a deodexed android.policy.jar on a stock odexed rom not work?

Probably not. But you could try it if you want, and if it boot loops just adb push the original one to your phone. But if your rom is a different framework other than 2.3.6 than this definitely won't work.

I asked this over in Android General and I was pointed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713
Could anyone confirm if this would allow porting of a ROM like HTC Sense to the Xperia?
I posted this here as I reckon that if it is indeed possible, it could be of some use to the dev community in here. If not, mods can delete this
Our phone only has 480mb internal storage.
HTC Sense is well over 1gb just for the ROM.
Sent from R800x
that's wron
a normal sense 4.0a rom needs 420mb system partition
our is only 300mb.
so we need to decrease the zip (remove apps) and move some apps to /data in zip.
then symlink /data
and then we can go porting it
I would use a Sense 4 rom , I'm going to mess around later lol.

Remember, you can only use a ROM for a device on the same Arm as Xperia Play.
I'm gonna have a look at messing around with the HTC One S firmware
ok, i will make a thread for a sense 4 port

Sorting out permissions on the HTC One S Cyanogenmod ROM. Hopefully, with some luck, I should be good to go by the end of the night
Crossing my fingers I dont get some kind of catastrophic brick haha
Moment of truth guys
I'll report back if anything works....I hope *gulp*
Stuck at kernel :S
I'll keep trying though
can you upload your current version?

I know what the error is. I need to jump into Linux to unpack the kernel and edit the init.rc file (Only possible on Linux).
Going to flash back to MIUI temporarily to move the files onto my SD card to shift them onto Linux. Going to do that a bit later on as Im going to be a bit busy. If I get anything working I'll PM you and Dropbox the ROM for you to try If all comes back working, I'll release it to the general users
This will hopefully be my first ROM development
Tried again and can't get past the kernel screen.
Back to the drawing board. Gonna try a Samsung CM7 build now
Having no luck with this. Any devs with more knowledge than me feel free to take over

Same thing happens with the arc rom I'm trying to port. Did you edit the boot class path?
Sent from my Xperia Play using Tapatalk 2
miui arc rom should boot when you edit all the audio libs (in /lib/hw the first 4 files and in /lib all files with libaudio...)
don't need to edit the rest to get it booting

Hmm seems weird.. It's like it needs certain framework to pull the correct public ids.. is this a system app? Or what rom did you get it from? If you pulled it from a rom..try installing that roms frameworks in apk tool. .then decompile it..
If not..pull a log and see what errors it's throwing at you when it fcs. .If you want post it here..and I'll see if I can help you at all

Looks like it is not installing correctly.. Also what Android version are you on? Does this app support it?
It is also requesting to write to internal storage which I know something in 4.4 have changed with that.
? Why are you decompiling it?

Is there any solutions
Hello all.
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with this.
I am using the apk multitool and can decompile the framework but get loads of errors when I try to recompile it.
This method worked well on my s4 and other devices but am having issues with this one.
What programs are you using to decompile and recompile the framework.
Or can anyone mod it to include the wifi tethering bypass and call recording features?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can anyone help?
I don't know what I am doing wrong.
The recompile just won't go through.
Even if I don't make any changes.
Use the tool in my link. Worked just fine for me.

Thank you for the help,
I tried using your tool and can decompile the file okay now.
But am still running into problems recompiling it.
I have included the errors I am getting in a code block.
I am running Windows 8 and I am not sure if that might be part of the problem or not.
Any help would be appreciated with that.
Just still kinda amazed as this was working on my s4 without issue

it's because you didn't install the framework to pc. depending upon what app you use, it needs to have the framework files from your device or it will be missing dependencies every time you recompile.

I already have them copied out of the phone.

I think I was using an older version of the program.
Found an update. Will download that and give it a try then.

Okay.
I have updated to the newest version of the tool on his page
Used the check mark for installing propritary frameworks and installed framework-res.apk twframework.apk and SystemUI.apk
and still am running into the same errors even though I have the framework installed.
What might I be doing wrong?

I am using the one from elesbb's signature.
I pulled the framework from the s4 and I could decompile it and recomiple it with a problem.
Tried again with the s5 frameworks and have the trouble again.
Maybe the apktool.jar is too out of date.
I have attached the log from my recent try with the s5 framework.
And thank you for your help btw.

Thanks I may try that later.
I just grabbed the apktool jar that was updated right from the source and was able to do it with command line.
Got a few aapt warnings but worked fine.
I think it was just the other tool using an older version of that file.
Hello guys.
I'd like to install the same app (but different version) twice.
For example tapatalk 4.10 and 3.0 without replacing.
I hope u know what I mean.
I know how to compile, recompile apps, so don't worry.
I hope it's not wrong Forum for such thread.
Peace.

Putting aside the question of why you would want Crapatalk installed on your phone in the first place, my understanding is that the only way you can have 2 different versions of the same app installed at once is if the 2 apks had different signatures.
