I asked this in the Desire HD forums (since I have a DHD), but nobody seemed to know.
I'm just curious if it is possible to port proprietary apps (for example the S3 SecEmail.apk) to different phones, or are they locked into mfg specific phones?
The reason I ask this is because I am trying to find an email app that offers image compression, and I can't find one anywhere. This is the only one I've found.
Also... I'm not sure if this is the right forum to be asking this in. If it isn't please let me know. I'm still quite the noob here, and I don't want to irritate anyone.
You can do that using something like tibackup. But theres a chance the phone youre porting it into might be missing the necessary framworks and youll get a forced closed when trying to open the app. Have you tried checking out k9 mail

Yeah, I tried K9, and it doesn't have an image compression feature from what I can tell. I even tried to use apktool on secmail, but couldn't do it due to a bunch of errors.

Hi guys since cm9 is community built i figure you guys might have some good ideas on how to fix things so i'm making this thread for brainstorming and any general discussion and questions

What are some phones that share the same chip set? We could possibly port fixes from that device to this device

If they use the same or similar hardware the fixes should just drop in. Check there commits ans see what they did to fix things like data and camera

and im assuming you need that driver source correct? if so is there any way that you could make the source call for values from the pre-baked driver? ive heard of this being done before on another phone. they hacked around to get it to work with a gingerbread driver.

That would include writing a wrapper which is extremely difficult and I don't know how to it requires a very in dept knowledge of which all the calls mean and how to translate what the new kernel is calling to the old driver

i know one thing that might be worth doing... you could contact "mantera" over here about making a wrapper. cause im pretty sure they did that for the motorola triumph. (and that phone has no source)
http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/488824-dev-continuing-triumph-ics-development.html
i think he is even a member here on this forum too.
but yeah, he would be the one to ask about writing a wrapper.
doesnt the vivid have the same hardware? havent really checked the development over there recently but they have a sense 4.0 port almost fully functioning
Ignore
I'm convinced from a few logs I've seen since the ext.jar fix that the problem is the way it scans for data..
Doesn't the sensation have very similar hardware? Wouldn't their data fix be similar to what we need?
I am convinced that there is some very simple edit that is needed... and tho I hate suggesting it, data was the last issue to be resolved with all the gingerbread roms, has someone tried to contact x to see what the fix was he used for that?
Okay, so there are tons of files in the framework2.jar file that stock has needed for data in com/android/internal/telephony, and the same directory in CM9 framework.jar is missing many files compared to stock..
there is no framework2.jar for cm9, so I'm thinking that either we need to copy the files over that match from framework2.jar(Edit: no files match.. if i do whole directory I get UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTIONrg.jf.dexlib.Util.ExceptionWithContext: method index is too large.), or we need to try adding framework2.jar to the bootclasspath of the boot.img. The framework is supposed to be handling part of the data, but the cm9 framework is missing many files..
Basically, the stock rom has everything needed for data split between framework.jar and framework2.jar.. and for cm9/10 we need to recombine parts somehow- but the index for the classes.dex file is written when it is originally built..
Just some things to think about. Elements of framework need to be rebuilt from scratch with some missing files in com/android/internal/telephony contained in the classes.dex of the framework.jar
I don't know if this will help or not, but worth a try

I see the new version of Hulu "supports" the flyer, but not the view. Seems stupid to me, but what do I know. Anyway, is it possible to "hack" it so it shows up as if it were a flyer? Or am I asking for too much?
Leave a review on the app so the dev can see and make the adjustments. Usually tends to work out
I have. Still haven't seen anything yet. I've even emailed them, but their tech support is useless. I'm getting a stream error now on my Rezound since the update and they just recommend things I've already done.

you probably need to make your own rom with specific custom device version information for that...

I played with the kitchens on winmo, but nothing ever worked properly for me, so I don't think I'll be trying that. I don't feel confident enough in my limited abilities to do that. Thanks though.
I wonder if it reads the build prop, and if I does if I could just change a few things to "read" like a flyer?

Hi All,
I have an Acer Aspire One running ICS.
The thing is practically useless, however I was hoping to re-instate its usefulness.
I was hoping to run things like Emit and Splashtop on the netbook so when i am at hope I can utilise my desktop PC's power while on the Netbook.
My only problems are as follows:
a) I cannot download these apps from Market as they are not compatible
b) If I make a backup on my tablet/phone (of the app I paid for) using Androzip or the like and install the APK manually, the app force closes, presumably due to hardware/software incompatibility.
I am hoping to find alternate apps that my provide a similar solution that MAY work.
Obviously the netbook also has Win7 Starter, however running anything in windows seems to stretch the poor thing beyond its limits, hence I am attempting to find a solution in android if possible.
Thanks for any assistance in advance!!

Hi guys
I've had a look around and understand that I'll need to edit the 'build prop' so that my device is recognised as another phone in order to have a more widespread choice of apps.
I want to install Need for Speed most wanted but the application cannot be found in the Play store and installing via the web based Play store is not allowed due to the app not being supported.
It makes me wonder how many other apps I could be missing out on!
Would anyone be able to recommend the changes to make as I don't want to make any mistakes and also how to go about making changes - I know this currently can't be done via a file explorer and probably has to be done via recovery.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Are you running custom or stock? And just throwing this out that I'm pretty sure NFS doesn't work on our phones. A review I watched showed that it just displays a black screen.

I am guessing that whether stock or rooted, by installing apps from unknown sources, you are betting (praying, might also help) that some nefarious developer out there is not smart enough to leave some "cool" bug on your device.
But I'm not positive by any means, either.
Don't know what OS you're running but both NFS run great on HD2 Ansar 8773 ROM (and in years of sideloading apps I've yet to encounter some mythical '"cool" bug' - even in WM6.5 but least of all in the protected WP7 OS..Android is a different story!)

I tried porting the files, but it didn't work. I really dont know what other things need to be modified. I downloaded the mod and saw that it changed the android.policy.jar which I modified. Maybe some other smali needs to be changed.
I would be a happy man if we had some Multi window action haha

I have the multi window feature on an international note I'm using temporarily (my wife wants to try a smartphone) to replace my i717. I haven't even used it yet and can't think of a situation where I could have been better off for using it. I guess people want what they can't have.
IMO in would enjoy texting and videos or email and browser. I would find a use a lot

I have played around with it on s3s and I thought it was a pretty useful feature.
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the insights. I guess my eyes aren't up to that. I got the note so I could enjoy the large screen. I imagine its just a matter of time before its available.
I used it on a s3 and i dont think i would use it asuch as i thought but i dunno... I just use the recent apps to jump around
Yeah, I think its not a practical thing on a note, but on a 7inch or larger tablet it ciuld be useful for the ways the previous posters described.
Must have
This is a must have feature for people like me because i am always trying to do three things at once with my phone but if i can do two at a time thats a time saver. Blackstar ROMs almost have this perfected. They have the multi window app tray when you hold the back button and you can pull apps out to use for multi window but they do come out half size so they just overlap. I tried downloading Multi window manager and it tried to patch an XML file i think but it still didnt work after. If anyone has some advice on how to get it to work you should check it out
