those system apps use lots of hidden API which is not available in android SDK (security reason i guess)..
maybe this blog can help u out http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/

Maybe you will need to add some external libraries like the supportv4 library.

Hmmm thanks for the link. I looked at it real quickly this morning and it may be what I need. once I get home I'll post the errors I'm getting.
But they mostly pertain to that link where some imported things cannot be found.

How is java important, android is based on java, an .apk is just a modified .jar and there are tools to change a .jar into an .apk so a jre or java vm isnt required
Nice. Can this use for website that require java applet security?

:s that is something else this app is just to let JAVA files or apps work on the phone
Why is there no java.apk in this zip file? Also, recovery throws up an error: Unable to find "system/customize/MNS/52099.xml" in Manifest file or something like that when tried to flash this zip..
I get an error for a missing file system/customize/MNS/52099.xml and then it says verification failed... anyone know how to fix this

New update
K so i made this updated Java update that should work on everyone else's thats giving the error that it gave me so test it out and always do nandroid backups!!
how exactly do i use that once flashed? i have a .jad file but it wont work...the only way i've got it work is with foundation profile midp installed, and that is very ugly. not even sure about security since i want to use it for m-banking?
works on CM RC2 ?

Is it possible to open up an .apk file for editing?

I'm just wondering if its possible, thanks.

Okay, i'll be more specific. I'm going to start developing soon so I am trying to find out whether if I create an app and then it can be opened and edited by someone else, for example...if someone decided to steal my code and use it for their apps.
apks are package code..
code is compile at compile time..ie ...you will see xml code and image assets and compile code...
the code is already in binary format so you cant edit it.
is not like javascript is more like java..in that see only .class files..

Jellybean Porting Thread

This thread is to assist porting of Android 4.1 (Jellybean) to ICS devices
A good base ROM for porting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Ramdisk diff
This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device. Some notes that are not shown in the diff are that /sbin/adbd and init changed -- These are both binaries so they need to be manually taken from the jb ramdisk.

I think I might just start from scratch again and use this to make a new first version.I hope this can help me get a booting version for the Sensation, but I make no promises. What I have so far is just bootlooping. Thanks for your work and the post......
Edited: Nvm I got it. I'm dumb.

The main thing you have to edit is the init.rc, but you may need to edit other things as well. I still have not found the right combinations of edits for my port to boot, Anyway use something like WinMerge to compare the files from the ramdisk of your base ROM with the ramdisk of the SDK. You can also edit the files while you have them in WinMerge.
Thank you so much, I will definitely try using that tool, and that gives me a direction to try towards.
cheers!
Ok guys i feel like im getting closer. The exact error im getting is,
Could not find method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled, referenced from method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.<init>
Anyone have any ideas? I know that settings is crashing but i don't know what to do about it. Here is the full logcat http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065069/
Is the whole pastebin is to replace everything in init.rc? Or some of it?

That means that it can not find com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled that is referenced in the init of the ramdisk. So you need to look at the init of the ramdisk and see where it is looking for that file and then place that file where it is suppose to be.
Also I finally got my port booting but it does not get passed the bootanimation and I got the adb working, yay.

Help needed in creating a simple build. prop editor

Hello guys
I was thinking to create a simple build.prop editor. someone can help me where should I start. it's a simple project so I want to work myself to get some experience in android app development. As I know I have to provide root permission in android manifest. Xml but how the activity can read build.prop file
Thank you

Root commands need to be executed the command line way.
You can get the content of a file using
Code:
cat <filepath>
For executing these commands I recommend using the RootTools library.
First of all get basic Linux command line knowledge.

No, it does not mean that.
If you want to do anything which needs SU permission, you need to do it without the Android API. You run a command on the built-in command line on your phone from your app. Now in Java you are able to read the output of the command and parse it to get the required information.
There is no other way of doing it because Android was not designed to be rooted.

Need help with adding two android projects into one project

Hi I have 2 android projects in eclipse a subnet calculator and a data tester The problem is that they are in two different projects! I want to add the data tester one into the subnet calculator! The question is how do I do this?
I have tried almost everything I can think of!!
Please help!!
Thanks in advance!!

That can be done only manually afaik. From where you want to move from one project to another you'll have manually create intents of fragment calls or whatever is needed. Copy-paste the needed classes to newly created packages etc, update your manifest, copy-paste layoutfiles etc etc. I know, quite some work but there is no automated process for this.

I'm not in the situation I can do it. But also I don't want to do it and you shouldn't want to do that either.
I got everything over no errors and when you are at the main menu I have two buttons one that says subnet calculator and one that says network tester when you click the network tester button it works when you click the subnet calculator button the app crashes what am I doing wrong please let me know

Nevermind I figured it out

The best way to do this is to use maven projects instead standard android projects. Both projects can be children projects of superpom (maven parent project). Search for maven-android-plugins for more details.
