Hello everyone,

I have attached a modded FM.apk that replaces the launcher icon and the status bar Icon with the one's from CM's fm app.

(Make sure if you are replacing another apk to rename this one to FM.apk to overwrite the old one)

All credits for this mod should go to snc-tr.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snc-tr:
sorry guys,

my wife had some health problems, and i couldn't do the changes.

now she's fine, i hope today or tomorrow i'll do.

thank you zephyr1988.

Hi, is it possible, sometime, to make a widget too?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snc-tr:
Hi guys again,

finally i finished the changes and edited first post. I hope you like it.

if you have trouble about installing fm app, just replace fm.apk in the dzo's rom zip file and install rom as usual.

Or Dzo may put this modified fm.apk as default.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] geocheats2:
AMAZING :o with the previous version the saved channels was being erased every time I reboot the phone I will try this one and let you know. Did you had this problem??

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snc-tr:
No, i haven't a problem like yours, but it has a problem, when you long-press for automatic channel search, it searches opposite direction of pressed button direction. but if you short click, no problem. it's so weird.

Can someone make a singed app because I can't get this to install

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snc-tr:
actually it's signed, but the signature is different, maybe it should be different.

It would be better if we make a zip file that contains fm.apk and install by cwm. Bu i don't know that it works or not.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snc-tr:
thank you,

i made a zip, i don't know that it's working or not if you install fm.apk for the first time. i can't try now at work :) could someone try ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I just tried it. Doesn' t work.

Doesn't ovewrite the existing because it's fm.apk(existing is FM.apk with capital letters), and doesn't appear on installed apps, even if I delete the original.

EDIT:

I tried to replace the fm.apk on dzo' s rom zip file and reflash, but again doesn' t appear on apps.

Tried to wipe cache/dalvic_cache, but didn' t make any difference.

This apk is very difficult to install it.

Try to contact with dzo, maybe can help you on this(and include it to ICS also).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
Same problem here.

The zip flashs without any problem, but the app is not loaded.

Also tried to copy it manually to System/app and set the right permissions but no success...

---edit---

I just reverted to the default app and it's working properly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snc-tr:
Hello dancer_69 and sr21,

I changed the name from fm.apk to FM.apk

I prapared 2 zip of Dzo's ics, one is original FM.apk in it and the other is modified FM.apk in it.

First i made a clean install with modified apk, modified fm worked.

Then made a clean install with original apk, and then flashed the fm_snc-tr.zip and it worked too.

Maybe it's all about fm.apk and FM.apk, i don't know but it's working now.

Attached the last zip and apk in first massage.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] geocheats2:
I installed it successfully doing the following steps :

1. Remove FM.app from system/app

2. Install FM.app

3. Unistall FM.app from settings

4. Install zip file from first post

If can someone confirm it...

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
which FM.apk you install?

The modified from first post cannot be installed, gives this error:

INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE

I've tried the new zip but doesn't work also.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
Doing this the app works without a problem :)

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Yes, this works, and doesn't need to flash the zip.

Just to install the new FM.apk.

Step 2 is to install the rom's unmodified FM.apk
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] valsam:
Does this app work on official 2.3.5 roms without phone being rooted?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
No, it wont work with Gingerbread (2.3.x).

It only works with ICS and kernel 3.0.8...

But there is one app working with ICS + kernel 2.35.x
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
after installing i got the icon for fm transmiter too. does that work?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
just wanted to take screenshots and it's not there anymore. i guess it dissapeared after a reboot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hi.xuco:
Hi guys,

I removed original system/app/FM.apk, using recovery to flash in and it seems everything works well.

However, can anyone confirm such behaviour when not using recover/flash: installing original FM.apk or this UI changed apk, it's 'working' and seems like 'stations can be saved', however, after reboot and 'stations NOT read out'???

Actually, i'm trying to modify this UI changed apk's strings. It seems like the original FM.apk or this UI changed apk, FM stations will not be read out after reboot?

If you also find this, it seems like something wrong with the shared uid:

120410004.zip

This is the hardest bit as put below by quiqsilver

I was thinking possibly the incremental number had something to do with date:

i.e 120410= 10th April 2012????

And the 004 is some kind of version number.

Any thoughts????

Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
This is just a numbered folder. Sony typically creates a new one with an incremented value for each update. E.g., 3.2.1 r2 was in 0013, ICS is in 0014. These are not the same for different regions.

The beginning of it could be date related, but that wouldn't work for the 3.2.1 r2 numbers. These values were neighbors in previous versions, so my expectation would be that scanning upwards from 120410000 would find them. E.g.,

3.2.1 r2:

US

ro.sony.build.incremental=111201009

UK wifi

ro.sony.build.incremental=111201017

FR wifi

ro.sony.build.incremental=111201023

HK wifi

ro.sony.build.incremental=111201040

They could put the update anywhere and name it anything. It doesn't necessarily have to follow the schema. The tablet queries http://info.update.sony.net/ST00X/nbx03_0XX/info/info.xml, AES decrypts it, and then uses the contained information to determine what updates are available and where they are located. It would be easy to write some code that would scan all possibilities of file names and paths, but I don't think that they're on the server yet.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Sorry don't understand what you mean here? Could this not also be a date 1st Dec 2011?

Good info here 'thanks.' I have no idea how to write some code to do that. Surely there should be someone here on xda that can... when these are available.

Thanks again
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
Mea culpa; it is the date. I wasn't around when 3.2.1 r2 came out and I read some bad information about the release date. The 3.2.1 r2 updates were, in fact, built on Thu Dec 1, so your date theory appears to be correct. This also means that they've been testing ICS for at least 2 weeks.

I could write something that will find the updates. However, once ICS is released in the other regions, it's much easier to just intercept the network traffic to see the path to the update.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
No worries, so what is the last numbers i.e 004? Release version or something like that. I spose it doesn't matter as the won't be on the server at this point anyway or it would have updated allready??. Would be nice to get a back up once they are there.

I am currently kernel10 so can not gain root and extract that way.
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
I believe that they simply increment for each build they make. E.g., the first build of the day on April 10, 2012 was 120410001; the second was 120410002, etc.

The update could be on the server while that region shows "no updates" if it wasn't added to info.xml yet. I don't know definitively that they're not there yet; they could very well be sitting there right now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoxRedEye:
My apologies if it's been spoken on before, I can't find a thread on the topic. My main point is; I've been using Lookout Mobile Security for some time now, (whether or not it's worth it is another topic). On Sense Roms and CM7 variants, Lookout Browser protection states it's scanning a url for safety etc. But it doesn't work for MIUI. Is there any web protection that works for MIUI or do I even need it, per say?

Just don't forget to flash the Boot.img first before flashing the rom. I forgot and it took me a while to figure out why my apps wouldn't run. Hope this helps.

This is quite amazing, and truly has the same benefits to Java in the sense is you have many editors, portable and anyone can develop and publish in C# without limitations (Referring to Oracle vs Google, as I doubt Microsoft would say "No, we own C# blah blah")

[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
I'm going to assume that this will only be for unlocked bootloaders, as the kernel may need to be modified? Just a guess. I have the new 2.3.4 Verizon update, so I'm basically screwed. lol I still have root at least.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trooper_Max:
I think this is the problem - unless I'm not fully understanding it. You'll have to run Sharpen on all Java code to get C# code. I'm not sure it is clear whether or not Sharpen can be run on compiled Java/Dalvik byte-code (meaning unless you have the source of the app or can decompile it (which might not be that hard), you can't use it). It would be interesting if it could translate Java/Dalvik byte-code to the .NET common intermediate language/bytecode.

That may not be the case - I think virtual machines like Mono normally run in User Space, and even if there is special support for the Dalvik virtual machine in the Android Kernel, I'd imagine that a Mono port of the Android platform could be made to run on the same kernel. But I may be off on this since I don't have deep knowledge of the Android platform.

The Mono project does mention Mono running on Android/ARM:

http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:ARM

And jumping from C# to Java or from Java to C# isn't actually that much of a leap! I prefer the C# language in general, but I also appreciate Java's general acceptance for its portability ie I'd prefer to write in C# but usually find myself writing in Java either because it is what people expect or the programming environment is more friendly to Java. (Many people still prefer Java because they see C# as a Microsoft thing, which is silly - as the article states it has long since been very formalized, but this is the way people feel)

--------

My Thoughts:

In any case, doing anything with this does seem like a huge undertaking. Probably the best target to go for would be to work with XobotOS to Sharpen an AOSP or CyanogenMod build - you could conceivably get it all working. Porting the Google Apps which you don't have the source for would then be the issue - but then even if you could get the Play store working, it'd just give you access to more apps in need of translation. A better solution would probably be to start a new marketplace for XobotOS apps. If a Dalvik emulation layer could be developed to run on top of the Mono engine or in conjunction with it to support execution of Dalvik Android apps that would be the true way forward probably.

What we're talking about here though is a revolution. I'm not sure Android is ready for that - it would cause more fragmentation/divisiveness. But maybe it would be worth exploring - I'm sure there are plenty that would say that Android needs a revolution.

~Troop
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
If the speed inprovements are that drastic, I think it would be worth the revolution.

Especially given google's current legal trouble regarding java.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
I would love to see Google turn to this if oracle actually starts turning the legal battle. The only issue is converting almost everything that's already been published and what not.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Trooper_Max:
Maybe, though keep in mind that graphic is for a very specific benchmark involving structs and generics and is specifically tailored to highlight Mono. It is unclear whether you would see the same significant improvement in the Android system as a whole. I wouldnt' be surprised if it was still an improvement, just saying how significant it would actually be for Android is still a question. I'd imagine a lot of things would still perform roughly the same, and obviously things making use of native code, the native code would still run the same...

Yeah, it would be interesting... and Google could put the necessary weight behind this if they wanted to take this revolutionary step - and implement a Dalvik compatibility layer or tools to auto-convert old apps or help make the transition smoother.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Drakenfall:
Well, hardware could be improving, but if the software is ligther and faster so would that be.

If it´s as good at it seems, this could be a great thing.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RozenTensai:
I'm really interested. If something good occurs to this project, then count me in.

It looks promising.

Yeah, the main problem here is that 'compatibility' layer that needs to be implemented with the use of another runtime. Maybe the way Windows manages to recognize between CLR and 'native' code would work here too. This could bring some difficulties at first, but maybe not at all.

As apps runs over the android platform I think the drivers/modules does not need further modification at all, save kernel implementations of the CLR/Dalvik runner.

Just what I think, maybe i'm not right, but oh well...

Android is open, and as a effect of that, this project came at light. Yay!
