Hi
I have just downloaded the 3.17 modified rom from Jeff's kitchen and using the installer file had it successfully installed into my xda. Firstly- thanks to all xda developers and Jeff for an excellent piece of work.
Only one question though- the D9 (single handed dialer program) don't seem to work- when I tap on it at the launcher, phone folder and even the entry in the windows folder, it showed a message:
"Application error- Cannot find extension file pvbDecl.dll Please run setup to restore the file ".
I tried cold booting a few times and the same thing happens.
Is there something I should do to get it running or do I need to redownload the exe file from Jeff's kitchen?
Hope someone could kindly help.
Thanks
Vic
Looks like a problem with that installation, no point in redownloading. Probably if you create a ROM that has PocketCHAT also, all will be well.
Hi XDA Developer,
Thanks for quick reply. Interestingly, I have included the Pocket Chat software in the rom and now that you mentioned it, I tried clicking on it and the same message comes out; asking for the same file pvbDecl.dll and suggesting to run setup again.
Any clues how to work this out?
Cheers
Vic
its a VB app so it needs that dll file. xda-developers just add the file to the package

Hi Alex,
Could you please elaborate a little bit more on what you described?
Where do I get the dll file?
Cheers
Vic
pvbDecl.dll is a part of VB runtime libraries. here is more info and fix http://www.creativelogichome.com/gen_faq.htm

But that page just tells you 're-install' the software causing the problem. It looks like the vb dll wasn't included in the ROM build. I've just used Jeff's ROM kitchen and am getting the same error.
Anyone actually found a copy of the dll and knows 'where to stick it' ??

hi,
i' trying to use an external library in my android sourcecode, but i fail at executing after successful compiling with a "NoClassDefFoundError"
i set the CLASSPATH to the external JAR File i want to use, and imported that jar file as a library, but still the same error.
what is missing, or where am i wrong?
please help

And how do you do that? As far as I know Java does not have an API to modify CLASSPATH at runtime.
oh i forgot to mention, that i use Eclipse to code android apps
ok after adding a JAR file into my project (not a library - like i did before), the time to build the workspace takes a very long time... everytime i type ctrl+s for saving even one new character, the workspace is being rebuilt, that takes about 5 to 10 seconds... thats really annoying...

Copy the jar you are using into a folder in your project, such as assets.
In eclipse:
right click on your project.
Go to properties.
Click on java build path.
Click on the libraries tab
Click add JAR
Select your JAR and press ok. press ok to exit the project properties.
Your application should now find the class you are looking for.

hey thanks a lot this worked out.
but eclipse is very slow now. if i remove the JAR file it runs fast like always... the jar file's size is just 3,6MB :/
building a Game for Android ..
i deleted some Images from the Res folder on drawable-hdpi/ldpi/mdpi
refreshed
now when i load the program on the emulator it loads diffrenet images..
Progeam : Eclipse
SDK : Level 8 (2.2)
anyone had this problem b4 thanx for any help
Problem Sloved :
Remove any Images from the Res Directory.
Delete R.java manually move/copy back all the images to the directories
hit refresh in Eclipse ..
R.java will be created again and it works
Another way to accomplish this if you're using Eclipse to develop in is to go to "Project > Clean". This will delete your R.java file and force a rebuild.
- What is baksmali/smali?
smali/baksmali is an assembler/disassembler for the dex format used by dalvik, Android's Java VM implementation. The syntax is loosely based on Jasmin's/dedexer's syntax, and supports the full functionality of the dex format (annotations, debug info, line info, etc.)
The names "smali" and "baksmali" are equivalents of "assembler" and "disassembler" respectively.
- Author of the tool
JesusFreke
- Why we need it?
Android apk and jar files will include java classes to execute certain functionality. With baksmali, you will be able to disassemble the java classes into editable form (smalis) so you can do your editing and modding involving java script. Once you done changing, you need to assemble all classes to a readable form for android, i.e, classes.dex and here comes the role of assembler (Smali).
Since we have apk manager, do we still need this tool?
Yes and No!!! Because some apk managers even if they do support jar files but once they decompile smalis, they will remove some lines (.line, .parameter, ...etc) which are in my opinion are useful to locate some codes. So the choice is yours.
- What does this tool do?
Simply it baksmali classes.dex of android apk and jar files into editable form (smalis) to do your changes; then assemble it back (smali).
- Will it affect apk and jar original signature?
No, it will preserve original signature.
- Got problem?
During assembling (smali), you may got error message. You can check log file to locate what is wrong that make the manager stop assembling the file or post the log file for developers to look into it.
- What are the steps to work with this tool?
Run Baksmali_tool.bat file, this will create all needed folders in the first run.
1. Put android apk or jar file in "put-file-here" folder. If Current-file status is set to None, then either you need to set a file in option #3 or you forget putting valid file in "put-file-here" folder.
2. When Current-file status is set to your file, you can disassemble its classes.dex by option #1.
3. Classout folder with name of file project will be created in "project" folder; make your changes there.
4. If finished your changes, assemble classout folder by option #2.
5. If everything is OK, a new file will be created in "finish" folder with tag (Modded_) in its name, push it to your device by option #3 if it was system apk or jar; and if it was non system apk file, install it by option #4.

Backsmali / Smali Manager
What is Backsmali / Smali?
smali/baksmali is an assembler/disassembler for the dex format used by dalvik, Android's Java VM implementation. The syntax is loosely based on Jasmin's/dedexer's syntax, and supports the full functionality of the dex format (annotations, debug info, line info, etc.)

No, it will preserve original signature.
Got problem?
During assembling (smali), you may got error message. You can check log file to locate what is wrong that make the manager stop assembling the file or post the log file for developers to look into it.
What are the steps to work with this manager?
Run Backsmali_tool.bat file, this will create all needed folders in the first run..
1. Put android apk or jar file in "put-file-here" folder. If Current-file status is set to None, then either you need to set a file in option #3 or you forget putting valid file in "put-file-here" folder.

4. If finished your changes, assemble classout folder by option #2.
5. If everything is OK, a new file will be created in "finish" folder with tag (Modded_) in its name, just rename it to its original name and push it to your device; don't forget to fix permissions as well.
If backsmali and smali code are outdated, what to do?
Just visit codes owner page, and download the latest smali and backsmali code versions and put them in "tools" folder (make sure to rename them to baksmali and smali without version number)
Future development?

Editing smali means to modify your jar or apk file to do certain new function, check the second thread in my signature in OP... you will find a lot editing tutorials of smalis of some android apps :laugh:

ok dude thanks
Hi, your work is featured here: http://ajqi.com/baksmali-smali-manager-windows-tool/
Keep it up!
VERY NICE!
Good Work..
I dont know much about smali backsmali.. but one confusion..
Is this tool also applicable if the files (apks or jars) we want to modify are odexed?

No, actually classes.dex are made from the odex files.
If files are odexed, then there will be no classes.dex in apks or jar files. That's why it won't be applicable then
Version 1.3 is online

- Added adb push finished file to device system partition (for system files).
- Ability to choose whether to reboot device after pushing files to device.
