Are you sure you don't already have it installed? Try getting it from here instead: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html.

Alright I got JDK up and running, I tried PSXperia and I got some errors and It wouldnt work so heres the log:

should work with the new image size

no problem. if that doesnt work, try changing the image. i know that for some reason, i occasionally run into a bmp file that causes nbimg to just shut down. i dont know why but as soon as i use a different image it fixes itself.

[Q] Problem installing an android app

Hello,
I've downloaded a few versions of Game Dev Story but everytime my phone can't open the file.. the free version of gds worked perfectly but the full version don't even want to install.
The error I get is :
java.util.zip.ZipException: expected 157 more entries in the Central Directory.
I know it's another ZipException problem but I couldn't find it in other threads.
What do I have to do ?
Presumably your downloaded file is corrupt. I'm guessing you haven't bought this from a legitimate market?
true, but I tried a lot of versions and other persons didn't have a problem with it ..
What does this ZipException means?

[Q] neo V (.62 fw) problem with recompiled Home.apk

Hi.
Sorry, I wasn't sure if it should be in "Themes", so I posted in General.
I've got neo V with root made on .42 (with ZergRush) and .62 stock fw installed via OTA. I was trying to change the number of desktops in Home.apk. What I do, generally:
1. Decompile Home.apk
2. Edit "number_of_desktop_panes" in values/integers.xml
3. Edit values/styles.xml to avoid compilation error (as advised here).
4. Edit DesktopModelManager.smali (as adviced here), but there's slightly different code (different line number and variable (?) name).
5. Recompile, replace with /system/app/Home.apk
The replace process is 100% good, because restoring original Home.apk do not cause any problems.
I do it from adb. I made the /system/tmp/ dir and given it 777 chmod to do it faster (without /sdcard). I mount /system as R/W, push Home.apk to /system/tmp/, change chmod to 644, then replace /system/app/Home.apk with it. Sometimes I try "sync", sometimes not.
It works only with stock Home.apk.
The problem is with recompiled apps.
I tried:
- xdaAutoTool
- ApkMultiTool
- ApkTools (from here)
- ApkTools (from here)
I also tried signing the app and not signing it (as mentioned here).
I also tried installing another launcher (GO Launcher EX), changing it to default, then replacing Home.apk, then changing again.
I also (huh) tried recompiling the app without any changes (except the one in styles.xml, without it, compilation would not succeed).
I also (getting boring) tried skipping the .smali edit.
Nothing works. If I replace Home.apk without reboot, the Home button doesn't work (single press) and if I was on the desktop when replacing app - it becomes black, no dockbar, nothing.
If I reboot - the phone freezes on SE logo, fortunately I can access it with ADB - when I replace Home.apk with stock one, the phone boots in a couple of seconds without a reboot.
I've got Win7 Professional x64, the newet JRE and JDK for x64, tried newest and older apktool.jar, smali.jar and other files. ApkMultitool was working on the yesterday-updated Android SDK folder. And I have no idea, what am I doing wrong... Do you have any ideas?
EDIT:
- earlier I successfully replaced SystemUI.apk with the changed one (Ultrans v2b) - no problems here
- I've got locked BL and I didn't install any recovery

Why busybox would check the Home.apk version? Or maybe I misunderstood you? If it was about busybox's version, I've got 1.18.4

Like I said, I tried it (ApkMultiTool). Decompiles, recompiles, signs (or not) correctly. Just the .apk doesn't work.

I had no idea, compile and decompile didn't report any errors so I assumed it should be OK.
As I never changed apk with dependencies, can you explain me two things?
1. Which files from /system/framework should I pull and where to place them before decompiling with ApkMultiTool?
2. Will files from framework be changed or are they only needed as resources and are left untouched?

Honest it's been months since I used,
decompile with dependency ie framework-
Res.apk then change stuff
Then recompile and in keep folder remove what you changed including resources if xml were changed hopefully you get what im saying

OK, I think I got this - SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Home.apk decompiled with dependencies from this file, then I changed it and compiled. Still the same thing.
Maybe the res file was wrong? Or should I sign it with ApkMultiTool?

You were right, thanks. I must have tried with the wrong file earlier, because I was quite sure I tried framework-res.apk - and I didn't. And yes, the app should be signed after build.
Now, the Home.apk is working with my changes, but only after this little "hack" from Chainfire.
But I've got another stupid problem - the only thing that doesn't work is the "Photos and Videos" widget... I think I'll give up...

Thanks, but in case of widgets I don't even know, where to start from. Why the hell only a couple of them doesn't work now? Photos and Videos, Music Player and Timescape Widget - I think that's all. I have no idea, where it came from :/
EDIT: OK, now I have an idea, but it scares me. As I can see, the only way to compile and run the .apk was to remove
Code:
android:sharedUserId="com.sonyericsson.home"
From AndroidManifest. Now, if I understand properly, the widget needs Home.apk to HAVE that ID? Because logcat says:
Code:
W/System.err( 3399): java.lang.SecurityException: Requesting code from com.sonyericsson.advancedwidget.photo (with uid 10004) to be run in process com.sonyericsson.home (with uid 10138)

I tried removing the same ID from AndroidManifest in PhotoWidget.apk, but it didn't work.
The only thing I've managed to get to know is that no widget from com.sonyericsson.advancedwidget.framework will work and also that I'm not the only one, who has problems with it

Forgive me, but I don't understand. Can you explain it?
I'm unsure what your trying to do but if you get the resources fileand any thing else you changed from the home apk that you made,
and then put IT inside a fresh home apk -ie new untouched home.apk
this should help with what you're saying your problem is

OMG, I did it
First of all - I didn't understand you at the first time, about resources and "new" .apk. Now I think I got it (not everything, but enough to get this to work).
The problem I found on my private PC (earlier I was using other PC) was the "Sorry thats not the dependee apk, try again" error when trying to decompile Home.apk with framework-res.apk. It didn't happen before, but I was so tired with all of that, I wanted to try the shortest way, so here's what I did:
1. Decompiled Home.apk without dependencies
2. Made some changes I wanted to make
3. Just compiled the app, answering "y" for question about system app, but without copying "additional files".
4. Replaced resources.arsc file inside original (stock) Home.apk with the one from just compiled unsignedHome.apk, installed and...
- working Home.apk - checked
- working widgets - checked
- happy me - checked!
Thanks!
Your wellcome

Me too. the files are called tracker-"some letters and numbers that seem to be exactly the same for all of them"-"some numbers that seem random".tmp . It's wierd.
Also the first series seems to be the same as yours wallot.
I have this problem too. Now i see 5220 files. Nobody know what to do with this?
Do you have game called Kiwi Run installed by any chance? If you do, I believe that this game is writing those files anonymously to the sdcard. Delete those files, don't run the game and you'll have no more files. Try to run it and you'll see new files there again.

Yes I had but I uninstalled it and haven't got any again, and so you're probably right.

[Mod] AutoSmoothScrolling [Windows only]

Hey everyone I decided to take the smooth scrolling mod to the next level. I was reading @zephiK didn't have the time to update the mod for every update that comes out. So I decided to get back in the game a little and completely automate the process so now you guys as users can do the "heavy" lifting (heavy in quotes since it's really an automated process for the most part lol). It basically pulls your framework.jar from your currently running ROM, modifies it, and pushes it back to your device. It should work on any ROM that doesn't have a different AbsListView.smali from the one I use (aside from the smooth scrolling parts, that's fine). If there's more demand for this (or I get locked out of my dropbox because of too many downloads) then I'll throw it up on my site instead. Until then, enjoy! Only supported on Windows. If anyone wants to make a linux/mac version, feel free to.
BE SURE TO ALWAYS BACKUP JUST IN CASE!
If you try this on another ROM and it doesn't work because the AbsListView is different somehow, let me know and I will make other versions to support other ROMs
DOWNLOAD
adb pull's your framework.jar from the currently running ROM.
Sets up a couple of folders for use later when putting the files back into a .jar.
Uses a jar command to extract all of the contents of the jar file.
Runs the baksmali code (with a small edit to remove the pause).
Copies the AbsListView.smali to the baksmali'd area.
Copies the android folder in "decompiled" into "smali-me".
Runs the smali code (again, with a small edit).
Deletes classes.dex and framework.jar in the root folder.
Renames modded-classes.dex to classes.dex.
Moves classes.dex, META-INF, and preloaded classes into the Temp folder.
Creates a new framework.jar file from what's provided in the Temp folder.
Moves that file back into the root directory.
Cleans up most of the folders/files.
Pushes the new framework.jar to your device, sets permissions, and reboots.
Finally it removes the framework.jar in the root directory to finish the clean up process.

Install as in you tried to flash it? It's a windows based mod.

So you ran the batch file and after it rebooted things stopped working? If so if you send me the framework.jar file in system/framework/ then I'll make a version for cm11

can this also work by simply placing the proper jar file in a folder on your pc and doing it that way. I ask because I sometimes download remotely and would like to have all this done and placed back into the rom prior to flashing. I have manually edited this file before but interested in your method as well
thx

It should if you modify the script. If you don't know batch, then I could try and write a version for that as well if you would like.

I'll get to work on it. Got a midterm today, so may not get it done
@prsterero It works. However:
It has to be placed on desktop.
I had to change JDK folder name in the script to jdk1.8.0_20 as I have a never version installed.
Oh nevermind, the readme...

Give it a shot now. The link is in the OP. I ran through it and it seems to work correctly, but I can't flash the zip to test it out. Let me know if you have any issues

Now confirmed working with Robbie's sabermod cm11
Confirmed not working for me on cm-11-20141216-NIGHTLY-bacon :/
The modified ROM is able to boot, but every app that uses the new AbsListView immediately crashes (this even include the power menu, I had to hard reboot my phone !). I have Xposed installed and running with modules such as ForceFastScroll that might interfer with the mod... This needs further testing!
Anyway, great job mate!
I need this and the link is down what's up with it
