Hello, I'm a web developer and I found that some Xperia devices work different than the rest of Android and iOS browsers. I need the original Browser.apk from Xperia to install in my android AVD but everything I tried failed due to certificates or whatever.
Can someone take the apk and compile it to install on any device? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I have to android phones and I found an app on the store that doesn't appear for my second phone (xperia ray and Desire S).
So I extracted the apk from my /data/app/ fodler but of course I still can't install it on my other phone.
I guess this is something to do with the AndroidManifest.xml, so here are the questions :
- What tool I can use to extract, compile apk's ?
- What tool can I use to mod my apk so it launches on my 2nd phone ?
Thanks
you can use apk tool to decompile the apk. then you can edit the whole apk using eclipse. to be able to install an apk from system/app you have to put the apk into the same spot and restart the phone.

Thanks, so the device compatibility list is generated when compiling from Eclipse ?
You are unlikely to be able to get the apk working on an incompatible phone. The reason for the incompatibility is likely to be that the phone lacks certain necessary features (e.g. CPU type or version of android) so can't run. Unless you intend to reprogram the app to run on reduced features you are better off asking the app dev to add support for the 2nd phone.
Both phones have exact same features : 1Ghz 7x30 and adreno 205 GPU.
Both on GB and planned to get ICS...
Both on the latest MIUI GB release
Is there an option to make it unavailable/available for some specific devices when compiling ? in the XML ?
When i download for example the new jellybean package in the sdk manager I can run it in my emulator wich means that i got the complete ROM. So my question is how to extract that ROM and flash it. Btw I got a Xperia mini st15i with official ics so can I get jellybean on it?
Hi,
theoretical, yes. But nothing will work. The ROM is optimized for the virtual Android phone and not for the Xperia mini st15i.
This means:
1. The drivers are wrong -> lots of things won't work.
2. It's not optimized for your display size -> widgets won't work until they are resized.
But you can build your own rom with taking this rom and add the sony ericsson stuff. But something still won't work, so you have to modify them.
I hope I could help you,
Hardy
Can you give me a link for a tutorial for optimizing roms. I already googled but didn't find anything.
Right, so I'm attempting to port Xperia Sola skin to my Motorola Defy+. (Gingerbread to Gingerbread).
I've got some questions:
1. I've found out that .sin files must be extracted with Xperia ROM manager tool and with unyaffs.exe. The latter app cannot be used, and frankly I've had experience with such console apps.
Is there any other app out there that I'm missing?
Is the source released so that I won't bother with .sin/.img files?
2. I've noticed that some Xperia apps (I've got my hands on the music one) cannot be ported since they have some sort of protection (?) Am I being wrong?... If not, how can I "crack" it?
3. If there are other .apk files such as the topbar file - does it also have any protection?...
Many thanks,
Alex.

I've searched through it but didn't found out system/app folder.
Maybe I'm used to Motorolas and speaking a different language?...
heres my first advice

Hey everyone,
at the moment im switching between AOSP Android L and FlymeOS 4.
I really love some flyme apps especially the camera (because of filters), the calculator, sms app and file explorer.
But i don't want to miss the smooth, battery friendly experience of android l.
so my idea was to port the apps i want from flyme to android l. i found some tutorials, but the necessary pictures aren't available anymore.
anyone have an idea how to do the easiest way? i stuck at finding the correct libs and jar files. and if its possible to use flyme apps with the original framework-res.apk of android l or if i have to combine these?
i don't think that anybody portet these apps, so probably you could help me or give me the needed informations
thanks
nobody any ideas?
Hello there.
I'm developing a custom rom and I want to add a link to my website on the Homescreen / Launcher (so users will be able to check infos and updates about the rom)
1st Method: chrome
I searched on google "how to add an .html file on Android launcher /home screen" and every website I consulted just adviced me to download Chrome and use it to add bookmarks on the home screen.
The problem is that I'm making an Android 2.3 rom and I'm working on a device with limited storage, I don't want to download and install Chrome just to make a link...
2nd Method: apk with webview
I know how to develop a simple app in Android Studio that just uses a webview to display my website, but I don't want to use this method too because Android 2.3 webview is obsolete and I included a modern and lightweight browser in my rom. A whole apk to just open a webpage would be wasted
3rd Method: ?
I believe there's a way to put links to any file on the homescreen! Especially if the rom (pre)rooted like mine. Can you tell me how to do this, please?
Thanks in advance
