I have Xperia Z2 Tablet with Nougat 7.1 (LineageOS rom) and I was thinking about getting SystemUI.apk from Z4 Tablet.
I have read few threads with custom SystemUI mods, and I think I know the procedure to do this, but I'm worried that I will mess up my rom.
Is it even possible to make switch like that? Will it work? Can I just replace the apk and hope it will work?

You can try..but it's fairly likely it won't work. Installing a system app from another phone requires a fair amount of work. You have to edit the app to make sure it works properly. Especially if it's from another type of rom.
You may be better off trying to port those features you like from the app instead.

[2012-12-26]Announcement :
The Developing of this project will stop for a while ,cause i have a very important studying year ,my whole career future will depend on it ,not to mention the war situation in my country and the shortage of all life basics services [electricity ,food ,water ,etc]
so there will be no more developing until 01\july\2013
Sorry for the bad news
Goal :
Port Sony Camera to AOSP Roms (CM9,CM10,FXP,AOKP) for all Xperia MDPI devices and maybe for HDPI also
Story :
This Thread Was Started as A question
The Idea is To make the Sony Camera App the default camera app in CM9/CM10 since it's a lot prettier and also the AOSP Camera app has a small Function bar that looks ugly
Then as there is a lot of People looking up for this the Thread Turned to a Request :highfive:
Update 2012-July-06 :
I tried to port the Camera App and Libs from Mini CM Sandwich AOSP v4
The Rom has SemcCamera update in case you didn't want the AOSP camera look
I made a falshable zip (MiniCM port.zip attachment) of the ported files and flashed it to FXP CM9 Build 132
The Original Camera still working after flashing (because Mini CM Sandwich is AOSP based so the both roms have the same libs ,at least for the camera)
After Flashing the system updated it's apps But the SemcCamera didn't appear in the app drawer
After that I ported the Libs and Camera Apps from Stock firmware 4.1.B.0.431 and made a flashable zip (Stock port.zip attachment) with them and flashed them to FXP CM9 Build 132
after flashing the system has update also but the Original CM9 Camera didn't work (force closing) because the difference in the libs
as for the SemcCamera it didn't appear in the app drawer also :crying:
So, Any one knows what to do ?? (Please Help) :fingers-crossed:
My Device Is Xperia Mini Pro SK17i
Here's the files I ported from both Stock and Mini CM Sandwich
Code:
\system\app\CameraExtensionPermission.apk
\system\app\SemcCameraUI.apk
\system\lib\hw\camera.semc.so
\system\lib\libcamera_client.so
\system\lib\libcamera_clientsemc.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionclient.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionjni.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionservice.so
\system\lib\libcameralight.so
\system\lib\libcameraservice.so
a Friend minachvim said in a post to me (see the full conversation here)That this problem was solved in Xperia X10 Mini Pro in a rom maybe called sony style by paul-xxx
I found the Rom but nothing about Sony Camera Mentioned ,Any one knows about this !?
That's All ,Sorry for writing a lot ,but it's better to answer all question that might be in your Head
Note :
1- Flashing SemcCamera Update From Mini CM Sandwich AOSP v4 will delete the \system\app\Camera.apk (The AOSP Camera) and add \system\app\SemcCameraUI.apk (Sony Camera ;which doesn't show in app drawer) that's why you'll see the camera app missing
also it doesn't add the \system\app\CameraExtensionPermission.apk (because it's already there in Mini CM rom and not there in AOSP)
2- SemcCameraUI.apk is not installable ,when trying to install ,it says Application didn't install ,so we can't push libs and then install camera app as any other app
Ideas :
1-Modding the CM9 Camera.apk ,porting the .png files from SemcCameraUI.apk ,but that needs editing the XML files (XML Programming) which I don't know anything about it
2- Make The System use SemcCameraUI.apk instead of Camera.apk ,How ? you tell me
3- Make the SemcCameraUI.apk visible in App Drawer and use it as a 3rd part camera app
you can save the camera app in /system/apps and then change permission. i hope it will help

I'm searching this mod when I install CM9 first time. But still no one created. Hope some developer will do it soon. If I have sufficient knowledge, I'll do it.
If more and more people request it, someone mod it for us.
I think its better make this thread as Request.

Its not work with the Sony Live With Walkman WT19i. I flash it, after i reboot i got "App isn't install" (cm9 camera app). I can't see stock app shortcut in app drawer. I just flash it, not wipe cache, etc. Check the screen shot.
Any solution?

Good Idea
Done Mate
I Tried to replace the Camera app
the camera app in stock ICS name is : SemcCameraUI.apk
the AOSP Camera app name is : Camera.apk
so what we need to do is to make the rom use SemcCameraUI.apk as the Camera app
coz just replacing isn't working
and i think we need to patch the .apk a bit to make it work with AOSP libs
I'm not a dev but I know a Bit
Any One Has an Idea ??

Are you sure you flashed it correctly? Are you clicking on the icon in your launcher home screen? If so, try to open the camera from the app drawer and tell me.

Should be simple enough to put softkeys in the status bar. Whether it'll work in a phone screen as small as that one is another question though...
Hi all!
I updated my phone to the new 205 and i am totally breathtaked how fast is it. Befored this I used to see and use the Z2 UI on the ExistenZ 3 and the KitKat roms. But I want to use this rom in the future, whats more, lots are chosing rather 205 than any 4.4, even if 4.4 was faster a little. It is because of the xperia things, the media apps and other things, but we miss the Z2 UI. I wastrying to make working one of the PORTS, but I must rewrite or change the framework. I do not know how to do this.
So if someone can make a port of this Z2 UI I'll be very thankful. :good:

Thanks, i tried it, but it didn't worked. i wrote a script to cwm and installed it, but 'systemui.apk had stopped' or sg. like that. My rom is total stock, and rooted with towelroot, so it was installed by sony update service, and odexed. Maybe it is the reason why the systemuis didn't work. Am i right?
Yes, and if you want you can install a deodex stock rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780836 and if don't work with it, you can use xposed to let your xperia like you want.
The z2 ui works on 205 4.3 aslong as you have got the deodexed version made by dipesh, Currently got it on mine
Hi guys, I have been browsing this forum looking for updates on the development for this phone over the last few months and unfortunately it seems pretty stale to be fair. We have achieved root which is a good stepping stone but there have been no attempts at new roms or modifications of any sort so I would like to give you what I have achieved with my G2 Mini.
- Installing xposed framework and using G2 TweaksBox to modify everything to how I like it. As the stock rom is closely based on the original G2, all of the modifications you make will be the same however I cannot get rid of the SIM switching bar in the notification panel
After making these changes my experience of this phone has been greatly improved. I hope this information can help some of you who are desperately looking to modify the ROM to your needs.
*NOTE - You must have rooted your G2 Mini to install xposed framework*
@Vagelis1608 has pointed out that xposed does not work on ART, my bad.
@Garcia98 is working on a custom recovery that will work on locked bootloaders.
Also, I thought that if someone installs xposed on ART, it will get reverted to Dalvik.
Can you confirm if you are actually running ART with xposed active?

The next xposed update should support ART.
So is it safe to root the G2 Mini using Towelroot and is it full root or just half root (they say there ia half root but I don't know what it is). And then after will be the installing of Xposed framework on the phone, is that correct? And then after that ia installing the G2 Tweakbox? All these are safe to install?

Yes, all of them are safe.
So you can go ahead and install them
But, as always, you are responsible for what you do with your device.

Hello, I would like to modify my systemui to get 3minit battery mod working on my Google pixel XL.
I've deodexed system apps in the past using baksmali, but these new odexed system apps now have a systemui.vdex file as well as a systemui.odex file to go along with the systemui.apk.
Couldn't find much about the vdex files other than it's allegedly optimized dex code. I looked at jesusfreke's website and most of the threads on there were way above my comprehension level lol.
Can anyone help me out to get started on deodexing this app?

The latest baksmali and smali can't handle vdex files yet, as far as I can tell. There's an open issue about it here: https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/issues/555
Looks like we have to wait, sadly. This always every time Google make a new version of Android - they keep odexing files in different ways. Good for the user, but very annoying for the modder!

If your personal program works, would you assume fulmic's should work as well with Oreo? As long as I updated the small/baksmali?
