I'm not a developer, but i want to edit some .xml inside .apk files just for my own use.
I'm trying to recompile CM7 based apps for our mini pro, but becouse they are custom apps, it give me lot of png erros. And when its done, the apk don't have resources.arsc inside, too.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong and any help will be very appreciated!
p.s.: I'm using apkmanager 4.9, the apk is Contacts.apk and the rom is MiniCM7 Pro - V7x by paul-xxx.

Hi there!
I was wondeing how to create my custom ROM using xRecovery for Xperia?
One thing I don't know how to do is to delete my google account so others have to use their own.
I could'n find any tuto arround.
Any sugestion?
Thx
You could start with modifying existing ROMs. For example:
framework-res.apk
All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons.
services.jar
Much, much more.
After that, you can try making a Nexus One or Nexus S kernel from the AOSP, and if you succeed, try looking up some tutorials.
Please note that for building the AOSP source, you need a 64-bit Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) or Mac. Building on Windows is currently not supported. If you don't have a 64-bit machine, you can still build Eclair ROMs, Froyo and above is 64-bit only.
As for a custom rom, even the experienced devs have only just cracked it, sort of. You can however use the Kitchen to modify and theme an S.E rom with Zdzihu's xRecovery which is what I and others are currently doing.
Hello, I am trying to compile CyanogenMod 5.0.8 (eclair) to the mini pro.
I chose this version because it will probably have almost everything working since the latest kernel on the x10 mini pro supports eclair.
however when I try to compile the eclair branch from the cyanogenmod source I get the following error.
Code:
error: revision eclair in CyanogenMod/android_external_webkit not found
I've looked on the internet for a solution and found something about removing a line from manifest.xml, but I haven't been able to locate it. Is there no hope for porting CM5 over then?
Greetings, Mike
what manifest.xml do you mean coz every app has an manifest.xml
please give us some information about this
edit:
i think you need the manifest.xml from browser.apk
coz its a problem with the external webkit this is the browser
and if you decompile browser.apk there is an manifest.xml (like every app has xD)
edit 2:
i've attached the original 2.1 SE Manifest.xml
Thanks, but this goes beyond my knowledge.
I think I'm going to start up trying to port a nice gingerbread theme including animations and will take a look at porting CM6 over. I have owned an android tablet before so I have some basic knowledge.
Hello guys i'm building a rom based on Froyo 2.2.2 and want to integrate DSPManager. I extracted DSPManager.apk from CM6,put it in my rom but it doesn't work. It starts well but he doesn't apply anything. Do i need libs for getting it working on my O1? When i extract apk i can't find any lib folder.
I imported libaudioflinger.so from cm6,can't hear anything. I imported it from cm7,phone doesn't boot. Help me!
I've just finished making a theme based on devoid.froyo.final and as soon as I reach 10 posts I'm looking to upload it. However, I only modified framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar.
I'd like it so that this will work with any 2.2 ROM and would like to know what other files to include. I decompiled lge-res.apk and noticed that an xml had been edited. Should I just include the entire framework folder to be on the safe side?
Hi to all!
I am new in the Android world and I have a mutimidia car system with Android 2.3.4.
The problem i have is to install new applications available on the playstore like Viago.
This application requires at least Android. I have the Android 2.3.4 ROM soucecode and my doubt is if can i make a compilation of the ROM, to upgrada to Android 4 just modifying the sourcecode of the ROM i have.
Or if can i use any other V4 stock ROM, and add the kernel i have and cook it together.
Thanks in advance.

Well, what you could do is modify the AndroidManifest.xml in the apk file so that the minSdkVersion is set to API 10. so it would look like this:
minSdkVersion="resource_id:0x10"
Make sure that the app does not require any features that are not in Gingerbread. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your quick response. I have some trouble. When I decompile the apk, i am having some errors and dont know what to do. The apk is fully functional in my s4 mini With Android 4.2. this apk (garmin viago) and apktool are not good friends. Initially there are some errors with .9.png images, i've made the Changes in the AndroidManifest.xml and then a recompiled the apk. The result: More and more errors. The only i want to do is modify the min sdk to 10. I Dont know where to follow.

Trying to get a apk file from Android 4.2 to work on Gingerbread is hard. Getting a apk from ICS to work on Gingerbread is much more simple. But if you only make changes to the AndroidManifest.xml everything should work. If you have more issues, message me on XDA and I could help you a bit more. I might get marked as spam if I post on this page to much.
