[Q] Porting TouchWiz Calendar - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I know this seems very backwards (most people have only negative things to say about the TouchWiz Calendar from the Galaxy S series) but my dad really likes the TouchWiz Calendar because of it's easy readability and simplicity.
Is there any way to port it from the SGS to the Sony XPERIA x10 (CM6.1)?
I tried copying the .apks (CalendarProvider and TouchWizCalendar specifically), and it FC's.
This is the error retrieved from logcat:
I/ActivityManager( 1567): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER]flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.android.calendar/.LaunchActivity }

Thanks in advance.

Remove the other calendar first, system default app - com.android.calendar - xrecovery dalvik cache
Titanium backup first and clean installation with clear cache and logcat again? O
rm-rf /data/dalvik-cache/*
@ root set your cache to relocate.. nothing essential..
mv /data/dalvik-cache /cache/dc
symlink;
ln-s /cache/dc /data/dalvik-cache

---

Wait, so:
1) Clean ROM Install
2) Remove Default Calendar
3) Install TouchWiz Calendar
4) Wipe Cache in xRecovery
Is that all? It should work following these steps?

Moved to Q&A as not android development

Got a little further...
So after following MrHassell's instructions and reading the errors, I got a little further
The errors seemed to indicate that it was missing a few files, so I decided I'd put them on to the phone from my gt-I9000 as long as they weren't already there.
I pushed the two files:
android.test.runner.jar and
com.google.maps.jar (don't know why it needs this, but it was complaining so I gave it to it)
to the XPERIA.
Now I'm getting the following error:
E/AndroidRuntime( 2188): Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path):TypedValue{t=0x1/d=0x2050001 a=-1 r=0x2050001}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is part of a series of errors but this was the lowest "Caused by" error.
Obviously it's missing something still, but the cryptic TypedValue code doesn't help me much. I've used the apktool to decode the TouchWizCalendar.apk calendar into smali files and res, but this also hasn't helped me much.
Any further suggestions?

Okay, I am posting the full logcat here by request along with the apk and both of the aforementioned jar files (that I am aware of so far). The TouchWiz calendar I am trying to port is from a GT-I9000M running Froyo and it's being copied to a Sony XPERIA x10a running CM6.1(i.e. Froyo as well).
EDIT: Forgot to attach log!

seems reasonable, I'lll switch to Froyo and port it. Looks like it's waffling on about resources, might have to rip some stuff out of Darky's rom.. do you know if it works in Darky''s rom or is it vanilla Galaxy S? Looks like some cool set of widgets.. just the Galaxy S.. too blue, evn the pictures are blue - lol

That would be super awesome if you did that!
My phone runs Darky's at the moment so yes, yes it does work in Darky's.

Think that I might have a quick solution worth looking into;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955803
TouchWiz Launcher for the Xperia x10 - by cruzin_cruzing is ported to Xperia and confirmed working in Froyo as I have it running on my phone right now.. the one thing that I have not done as yet, is backup and remove my default calendar app and try to reinstall, which is what is needed to see the output from logcat or demesg - either way in the install it will log and my apologies, I've had too many things that have kept me from doing this!

---

I didn't find that one, but I found the Nexus One version of TWLauncher.
Unfortunately, installing it didn't help me get the TW Calendar any, and I would imagine that this wouldn't either.
Thanks for looking into it though.

Need a specific activity or make it work as a service. It runs in a global context - com.android.calendar - and the remove (global) and re-install fails as it isn't signed.
Deodex and sign again isn't the only problem though, only part of it. I'm continuing to look into it, although which X10 firmware are you using? Xfree Beta 4? It's needs to be deodexed, rooted and resigned, with the missing dependant files;
android.policy.jar
framework.jar
framework-res.apk
Settings.apk
twframework-res.apk
EDIT: I'm grabbing these from Darky's rom decompiled and found the missing parts were all twframework-res.apk dependencies. Rebuilding now..

---

I'm running one of the CM6 releases. Found it here on the forum. Just don't know which. I'll run any rom so long as this calendar works with it.

---

What is your method of checking dependencies? (e.g. how do you do it?)

---

Did you figure out the twframework-res.apk dependencies?

---

So, are you suggesting that I just need to do what you said for it to work? Your edit confuses me.
Are you suggesting you took apart the apks and figured out what the Calendar specifically needed and are now rebuilding a version that doesn't need the other apks?
Or are you suggesting that there's more dependencies yet, but you are currently rebuilding it with them?

Hey - Hope your well and sorry I've taken so long in responding. Not been working on this lately - other things happening and one of which is why I'm, posting this and not private messaging, it's been disabled on me..
Yes! - What I've been doing is using the dependent framework file to reverse engineer the apk.
twframework-res.apk
This is the Touchwiz specific framework that Samsung included for any of the widgets or apps. This way it isolates itself from the core operating system and can be modified independently etc..
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Reverse engineering is easy. What is hard is recompiling it back to a working version and that is where I'm stuck with it at the moment and have had little progress or time to work on it... also noting that nobody else is working with this is making it a one way project..

---

That's what I feared. I wish I could help.. I'm just not very experienced..
but I can learn!

I'm sure you've probably seen that guide .
Can you upload what you have? I have lots of free time now (I've got the week off) so maybe I can figure something out.
So you decompiled it with APKTool, fixed it, and now you're trying to compile it again?
I'm sure if we ask enough questions on these boards, one of us will be able to get it to work.
Thanks so much for doing this !

This is the de-compiled source from the touchwiz framework mentioned. It de-compiles but the problem is using baksmali code to figure out what is going on with the framework dependency.. sorry I've just not had enough time to look into it properly
