Hi
Tried to install track id.apk i found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739929&page=2
on AOSP 2.1 007a
Butt getting forced closed when trying to launch it.
doing:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Select the TrackID app
Tap on "Clear data"
Tap on "Force stop"
dint work either...
Is it possible? or should i just give up
sorry for bad english.
I imagine like all other manufacturers like HTC , Samung , Motorola etc etc core apps which they designed for a specific user experience are all tied in together with there customised Android Framework, meaning to use such an app you would need all of sony ericssons proprietary files also which obviously defeats the object as you may aswell not bother with having an aosp 2.1 rom also with AOSP you will have no drivers for the X10 Specifically which will mean you will more than likely have errors using hardware unless you fish them out from an SE 2.1 rom
Also on a last note, now i have answered your question, in future remember to ask your questions in the correct forum : x10 Q&A forum
I think you need to install some or all SE APKs to make it work.

You're screenshot is about the permission it uses. Permissions are built in a system, not in an app. Nonetheless it still can depend on an app, but not in the way you mean.

I have taken it upon myself to port some good stuff over to our phone and thread. I hope to learn some things about apk modding and theming along with bringing some good mods that work on our phone to attention.These are originally done by other members and I take no credit beyond testing them and fixing any bugs needed for the port. I have made this thread to bring attention to the great mods/ports that will work on the Xperia S
There are some other threads on other forums for this (which is where I got my info), but I thought I would make a new thread on our forum to help people out and let them know it is working, and the way I installed it since there are several different methods.
original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
Here is how you install it.
download this if you have changed google search to something other than google-----> http://www.mediafire.com/?pbq5pou3in4mbsr
download this------->http://www.mediafire.com/?puszwfokw3d999u
flash the first one in CWM (only if you have changed the default search)
Reboot
flash the second in CWM.
Reboot
If there are any problems it could be root permissions, but it should work by default

Sometimes the links are hard to click
Enjoy, I will update this as new versions come out.
Please help.
Is there anywhere in this forum that gives a simple explanation as to what each Rom does and what are the advantages that they give if you flash them?
I've looked through the development forum and there isn't much information given for a newbie like myself that wants to try romming my s3, well if there is I can't really find it cause each topic about the roms I've read don't exactly say what they do.
It would be great if there was a list explaining all the roms with links to each one and why they'd be useful.
Forgive me if this post seems silly and there is such a topic and I'm just babbling on cause I've looked and have no idea which Rom would come in handy for me cause I'm completely lost.
I'm amazed at what these android phones can do but really really lost and want to learn and maybe make my own themes as I'm a digital artist and would love to make original themes that people would like, but that's another thing I'll learn about in time.
For now I'd love to learn about roms.
Guess I'll try to figure it out myself, ah well I'll get there....
Can't say that there is a thread for what you are looking for but I can say it doesnt hurt to just try them. See which works best for what you are doing and wanting. It is very subjective.
I personally make use of omega and love it

Well I think there's a sticky somewhere in the forum listing all the roms for i9300.
They generally give description of what they offer, but generally sammy based roms rids any bloatware, adds in their tweaks, whereas aosp based roms are missing the sammy functions.
I suggest you have a go at each rom. Just do a nand backup of original and flash the different roms. Doesn't really take that long.

Hi,
If you are too newbie to understand what each ROM does or not... don't flash anything, keep your stock ROM.
Read the OP (the first post of the thread) of each ROM and read the descriptions, features, changelog... if there anything you don't understand... maybe Google can help you...
You need to learn a little by yourself... and right, I agree, try som ROM by yourself, test, see, etc... you'll see faster by yourself than asking here wich ROM have this or that or don't have this or that, do this or that or don't do this or that, etc... and no, there is not a stickie wich explain each ROM function, feature, etc...(it's in the OP of each ROM->READ or wich ROM is made for you, we are on XDA developpers... (!?!).
Test, test, test... and test (after reading) by yourself, it's how you'll learn. Backup your current ROM, flash, test then if you are not happy... flash another ROM, test... etc....
But since you you opened a thread... maybe a specific term or feature you don't understand?
I hope this thread will not going to finish in a "wich is the best ROM" thread...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for your replies, not much of a learning curve in here for people that really want to learn and the explanations on the first page of each thread doesn't really give a good description of what they do.
I'm all for these roms and think it's great that the developers here can take something and improve on it to give it better performance and have something for everyone.
It wouldn't really hurt though if there was such a thread that each developer of their roms could give a small description of what they do, it would be a very helpful thread and would cut down on people bricking or messing up their mobiles.
Really think a thread like this is needed here, well it's just a suggestion.
I've been to each thread and read what it says but can't really find easy to read descriptions anywhere.
Think I'll try the omega as that's been mentioned twice to me so must be good.
Anyways I think the developers here do amazing things to android phones and it's opened up a new world to me which I really want to be part of.
Good day to you

Rom is Deodexed + Rooted + Zipaligned​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All is detailed and explained, right? If there is something you don't understand... Google-it or ask here for a specific term... You realy need to search and read a little by yourself... If we have to explain each lines...
I agree for a newbie, maybe, deodexed or zipaligned is not very evident... but... Google is your friend
The devs explain the features of their ROM (like a kernel) but it's also to the user to make an effort in reading, searching, understanding and learning (a minimum). The devs can't be behind each user to explain everything to them and teach them or to flash their ROM in place of the user because the user know nothing or he won't read and search. There are other members to help of course, but there is also a responsibility of the user...
Its been said for any flashing if you cannot understand the very basics like read and search then you are likely to brick your phone .
Every rom has details in the first and second posts as shown above .
jje
Yeah you're right I'm so used to symbian and using software and firmware which wasn't open as much as android is and when I first visited the developers section was a bit overwhelmed by it all, had my phone not even 3 weeks and learned about rooting, changing firmware, modifying games and now onto roms.
Will read up on Google what things like bloatware and kernel means.
Was interested in a Rom that allows to use my external to add apps and something with better battery performance.
I'll learn in time, bit cautious about adding roms cause of deleting all my data cause last time I tried nandroid I couldn't get all my data back it didn't work and when tried to get back my sd data from the toolkit the data went back but none of the apps showed up and it said that I had used memory putting it there.
I'm not going to install any roms till I get a better understanding of them, I like to learn about things before jumping in.

Re,
This! Very good thought
You'll see that with all good reading you get there and you will learn mostly , a bit of search and you're good to go!
In any case, if you do not understand some specific terms, there will always be someone to answer you here, I mean here in your thread...
So is nandroid best for backing up my phone before I have a go at roms and does it save ALL my apps and data cause this information I couldn't find on Google wasn't very specific what it backs up
Re,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927113 , needs to read but it's usefull
Yes a Nandroid backup is like an "image" in windows, total back-up except modem and internal/external SD Card (****!, don't remember for the kernel, I think no, need confirmation). All is like at the moment when you do the back-up (apps, settings, SMS, data apps, etc...).
According you're rooted...
I hope I forgot nothing...
EDIT: like slaphead20 said, I totaly agree (but don't speak him about efs: too early, hum I'm just kidding, it's the right way, maily about the efs folder), in nay case Nandroid back-up first, it will save you if something goes wrong...

Yes it is, and if things go wrong you will restore your phone to the exact point you backed it up.
Use k tools(play store) to back up your efs, and copy that to pc.
You have the right attitude, take your time and learn, don't be afraid to ask......I lurked on XDA for 3 months before even joining!
Enjoy and all the best, any questions you can also try asking over in the general thread in general, it's a safe place to ask anything, but do try and find solutions first with search
Thanks for the links and help, now got to Google what ef's is.
So much to learn, rooted two days after getting my phone was quite simple I'm a very quick learner if the information is there.
Re,
About efs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Hum, maybe a little hard... (Verizon or International version, the princip is the same).
EDIT: a toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I know, I know it's not the right way to learn but...
EDIT 2: you're rooted, you have done the most important!
Thank you, I'll read up on all that cause it will come in very handy.
I've run out of giving thanks for useful replies cause I was only allowed 8 apparently, not allowed to be over generous here.
DO NOT FLASH THIS ON A TOUCHWIZ ROM. AOSP BASED ONLY
This is a custom GApps package I created to work with x86 devices (namely, our tab) as the normal GApps packages available are arm-only. (and no, to those who would ask, it's not as simple as downloading PA-GApps and swapping the update binary. The actual files therein are NOT x86 compatible, namely, the libs.)
UPDATE 1: With the release of 4.4. for the P5210, I am pleased to announce that this is now a full, complete, stable GApps package
It contains everything found in the PA-GApps stock zip plus:
-Hackers keyboard
-Root browser
-Xperia home
note that Hacker's keyboard and Xperia home are just there in case google keyboard / google home don't work out of the box. I don't anticipate any problems, but just to be sure. After some feedback / testing i'll remove these if people want. Root browser however is here to stay.
UPDATE 2:
As of the 20140823 build, this is now a UNIVERSAL x86 GApps package, meaning it will work on ANY x86 device running 4.4.x with zero tinkering to the zip. I did this by using a slightly modified pa-gapps updater-script coupled with an x86 update-binary.
UPDATE 3:
The 20140826 build is mostly bug fixes. The updater-script in the 20140823 build was broken. This is now fixed. Google + was broken. This is also fixed.
Google keyboard was broken. This too, is now fixed.
Tested this build myself. All is well.
For those who want a ROM to try this with, head over to @moonbutt74 's thread "odds, ends tests". He posted a successful 4.4.4 build from a few days ago on i think the 4th or 5th post (though it is by NO MEANS dd ready. We're working on it)
DOWNLOAD LINK IS BELOW.
If you want to use this for any reason other than personal use, ask me first, unless you just want to include a link on your ROM thread. If you do want to include a link in your ROM thread, link to this thread, not the download link below.
Download link:FrankenGApps-x86-20140826
old builds:
20140823 build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140823.zip
The updater script in this build is broken. On top of that, if you fix it yourself, google + and google keyboard are borked.
20140814 build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140814.zip
This build only works with the tab 3 10.1.
Old legacy hackey build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140813.zip
there is absolutely no reason to flash the 20140813 build over newer builds. The 20140813 build is an unstable / hackey 4.2 gapps port, I'm just posting it for reference purposes. Naturally this build is unsupported. Please download the new build(s) from OP.
if i flash the build of 14th then i stuck on samsung boot logo. firmware was stock rooted deodexed 4.4.2. i have tryed it twice but always stuck on boot logo.

I was sameway, so I just downloaded the update from "sammobile" installed it and used " super Su from chailfire to get root also used root explore to take out the apps I did not need.
@evilspawnas
@ghforlife
Why did you flash this on a touchwiz rom?
This zip is meant for aosp based ROMs like cm11. (I tested this package on @moonbutt74's wip cm11 build, works like a charm)
Besides, TW Roms have GApps built in

Oh, sorry, but all the other devices have cm 11, it´s like my normal behaviour to flash gapps... shame on me
Just updated to 20140823.
As of now, this GApps package is universally compatible with all x86 devices running 4.4.x. Zero tinkering to the zip necessary.
Just updated to 20140826. This build fixes updater-script, google keyboard, and google +. Read "update 3" in OP for more info.
Nice
Another stone in building our road to CM11. Thanks.
I know many will used this update.
To be honest, I am forced to used the market, but try to stay away from C I A applications. I am sorry did I say C I A. My apologies it is the Alzheimer, I mean Google.

These gapps are 6 years old and for older versions of android. Go to opengapps.org for android 7.1.2 based gapps.
And also why do you need instructions? Same as all gapps just flash the zip after flashing the rom

I have a tab 3 10.1 WiFi so if anything pops up around these threads I always have a look.
The tablet is still working fine for me without any gapps on it as I've found gapps are extremely heavy on such an old tablet. Instead I opted for a microg installation and it works perfectly (even being able to play games like bullet force or fwd assault) but i mostly use it for reading and cooking and that kind of stuff which it is perfect for.

Owhh, i see. I put this rom on my tab: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3587761
It does lag sometimes, but i removed some of the GApps it came with. I mean, the second i removed playstore some other Google apps stopped working so i had to delete them too. It's a bit better, but i dont play games on it, it's still laggy i should've chosen another ROM but i guess this is fine. Which ones are you using? If you want we can talk in discord, or here if you want, which ever way you fele comfortable. I can share the apps i have and etc, since we have the same tablet, finally i found someone in 2020 having the same device as i have! Ha. I'm still here, so if you reply and i wont answer, i will answer later, i have schedule to follow that's why
Ill wait for your response, anywhere, if you want dm me here, chat in this thread or check my discord, send a friend request and tell me here ur name so I'd accept it. You can also find me in the XDA discord server.

Hey, where have you been?
Hello there.
First of all I am not a developer or modder like many of you here in XDA. Though I like to mess with my phone to make it work the way it should. I am posting this thread asking for help.
Currently I am trying to get the native firewall in MIUI 8 to block system apps from using WiFi, without success.
I am following the instructions posted by a developer in MIUI forum to modify Security app: link http://en.miui.com/thread-531515-1-1.html (original developer Nicolas72)
There are some minor differences between the code in the original thread and the ones I am working with (due to different versions of the apk), but in general it's the same method. However, bootloop are the only results I got.
Steps I followed:
Deodex app, decompile, make changes to the smali code, recompile and put the apk back to the phone (set permissions, delete corresponding odex file and reboot the phone. And bootloop.
My phone Kenzo is currently running stock MIUI 8.2.4.0 Global Stable, Official unlock.
Can anyone help me to get this done?
Thank you in advance.
Sorry for my broken English
Seem like there is no one using stock MIUI here.
Restrict wifi usage for system apps on MiUi 9 or above.
Were you able to find any solution or work around?
