Hello guys

i start a development of Xperia T smallapp Mod for all 2011 Xperia phones, for that i decompile Xperia T system apps and jar files and find these thing

1) FramworkRes.apk

in Xperia T framworkres.apk i found two things that relates with small app mod

I add these two permissions in my arc framworkres.apk and also i include the strings.xml and public.xml values for that two permissions

2) Framwork.Jar

Then i find that in framwork.jar file there is a folder that relates to small app i include that folder in my Arc framwork.Jar

this folder comes in classout \ com \ sony \ smallapp

3) System apps

Then i include the all five small apps in my system app folder and TaskSwitcher.apk too with xperia T home.apk

4) SystemUI.apk

Then i come to know that the Xperia T system UI also have externalTaskSwitcher mod inside it and without it it is not possible to have smallapp mod

i try so hard but i not succeed to port xperia T systemUI.apk working on Arc / Arc-S

What i need

A working Xperia T systemUI.apk that support smallapp mod

and if some one any know about more then that info then please share it with me too

:cowboy::cowboy::cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

here is the flashable.zip of my Work, all my work are done on xperia Arc 587 firmware files

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arcsuser:
sorry but what is smallapp?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
Pop up apps like calculator and notes that are featured on the new Xperias. You access the recent apps menu and you can choose which one to use on top of what you're doing

Kinda like popup play on the SGS3 but with more useful utilities.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] anhmat122:
unsuccessful:confused:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arcsuser:
i get it.. thanks.. been wondering what is smallapp is and now i know it..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
We need the Xperia T SystemUI before we could use the small apps. So essentially, this flashable zip will give you the files needed until the SystemUI is ported.

I do have the Xperia T SystemUI but I'm not at home, so I cant upload it until I get home.

Edit: Nvm it's already uploaded
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
What did require to input something about small apps into SystemUI.apk ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
The SystemUI is where the recent app functions are, and the small apps are accessed through the recent apps menu, which is modified by Sony to include their own interface and the small apps.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
Can I modify this ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dex87xda:
SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex

Man use apktool, then can you mod everything, i thought you know howto do it because your have a theme, or am i wrong??

I see only that you have questions :/

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] blitzkrieg_:
Sony is doing a really good job with development.. first the floating touch n now smart apps... hope someone implements this in their ROM soon may be Thillina's next build:fingers-crossed: Thanks a lot for the tutorial zohaib0001 :good::D

It's for tablet S
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] scuba4436:
Hi,

sure it's for the Tablet S.

But I can imagine that the described Small Apps framework is the same or very similar to the one of the Xperia T. And the Small App SDK will probably fit for all devices who support small apps.

Greets,

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] danisariandi:
So, Did it need on screen button ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] niaboc79:
I'm trying to port your work to xperia s

Do you have problems after modification of framework-res.apk ? It seems that after the modification a few words are use for others...

Exept that I'm able to see the task bar and the small apps at the bottom but there's an error when i try to open them.

Thanks

How to mod your status bar ? is it Xperia T status bar or stock ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] niaboc79:
I did the changes from the first post ;)

I'm using the systemui.apk from the xperia T without any modification.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
No i did not get any error after modify the Framwork-res apk

may be you paste the modify lines in wrong place

just tell me one thing ? you are using Xperia T system ui with my mods

or did you do any thing more if yes then please tell me
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
What did you changed in my mods
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zohaib0001:
INFO

Xperia T system ui is working in Xperia S

but it is not working with ARC / ARC-S

thats why i post this thread for other developers to help us and make it competible with arc / arc-s
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] niaboc79:
I paste the lines in androidmanifest.xml public.xml and strings.xml. Is that correct?

I'm ising systemui from T without modification.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jader13254:
Of course Xperia T is working for S :rolleyes:

because both NXT HD
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Till-Kruspe:
Yeah...even Xperia P get the GX status bar working...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] TheGreatSega:
2 cents

if im not wrong... in the SystemUI.apk theres a .DEX file..

in that DEX file theres a smali code that prevents it from working on any non compatible device

if you search on this forum youll find some Japanese live wallpapers released on jap versions but Pvy got them to work by deleting those smali files....

ill look into it and let you guys know more when i do
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jader13254:
Great. That's made by Sony to prevent Ports to XYZ Devices to have Unique Xperia T / V Tablet Features, right?

And it works on xperia s due tha fact... ...that xperia s hase similar framework?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
You can't change the AndroidManifest.xml, unless you have the Sony keys to resign the app. Which no one does! :D

This will not apply here, unfortunately.

There is no device check in SystemUI's code.

No, as I explained above there is no device check in Sony's system apps.

Incompatibility issues lie in framework, permission and library files and, in some cases, but not this one, hardware restrictions.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jader13254:
Thanks for Destroying our Hopes =)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
I am just trying to stop you from wasting time on dead-ends. :D

You, of all people, since you develop ROMs, should know these things, they are basic principles by which Android is operating. ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jader13254:
It was meant like "thanks for teaching and stopping us to be unrealistic"

Ya... I'm a Kid and I'm Still Learning and I Know Android since maybe 9 Month :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Pandemic:
+1

Thats the point to teach us and telling us that it isn't possible to edit the AndroidManifest.xml, be realistic Iridaki, you know that XDA have kids (not i, i'm just an oldskool) and they wanna learn some things, im still learning to and you also;)

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Now let's get back on topic please!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] MatheusSnakepit:
So, the project is dead or what? I mean, we have amazing developers and themers in Xperia 2011 section, can't we just picture a workaround like the NXT Lockscreen?

Maybe building a recent apps menu from zero, and just launching smallapps from there... isn't it possible? I'm not a programmer, just trying to help :D

nothing to do with framework

if it was purely based on framework issues, with the xperia T SystemUI our device wouldnt boot

but there has to be something in the code matching for it to even give an FC and not what we used to say in the X10 forums WLOD lol!!!

we need someone fluent in java to take a look!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AeonWorld:
I am not sure if this is compatible or not ,am working on systemui right now and need to code the java in a perfect way without force close, and I 've done most other edit ( a lot of framework files) , but can only say anything only if I can get systemui without force close , :thumbup:

Thank You,

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] serajr:
Yes... We can!

zohaib0001, thanks for initial instructions!! :good:

Here´s my 2011 mdpi ST15i .587 fw, with my Home GX v4.2 mod, my Tabbed SystemUI v3 mod and also with these fuc**** TaskSwitcher and Small App´s. It´s not 100% yet, but it´s just a matter of time. I´m gonna create a new C'n'T rom for mdpi devices and they´ll be exclusively there. What I can say for now:

Files to be ported and/or modified (unless for mdpi):

- framework.jar

- framework-res.apk (yes, we can change AndroidManifest.xml without signature loss and keep all working)

- SystemUI.apk (here we need just to port T´s related code into our own file)

- TaskSwitcher.apk (a little trick to work on small screens)

I´m just getting a FC when inserting small app to desktop, but I think it will be fixed soon, and when everything is working perfectly, I´ll come back here with entire guide.

And for those who still do not believe, here are some evidence! ;)

Good work!

But do we really need to be SO melodramatic over such matter? :confused: :p

May I ask what changes did you do to the AndroidManifest and if you resigned it with your keys or not signed it at all?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AeonWorld:
There is a way to bypass the signature , thats what i did in my lockscreen port thread

Thank You,

Now that's an answer! ;)

This thread will be locked, as the port is on its way.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
CM10/AOKP may not have the Sense camera, but the the Play store seems to have some viable alternatives. What camera Apps would you guys recommend for the HOX?

Running AOKP Build 3 if that makes any difference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] z3r0fam3:
If you are looking for something similar in quality to the Sense cam, I think you may be out of luck. It has to do with the camera framework being specific to Sense. AOKP and AOSP roms don't have the same integration to 'unlock' the same quality. Or so the internet told me :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gandalf:
AOSP does not have the same drivers for the camera/camcorder hardware that Sense has. HTC made the drivers specifically for Sense, and specifically for the camera that the HOX has, so obviously, the Sense camera will ALWAYS be better.

AOSP ROMs are currently using an open-source camera/camcorder driver, so yes it can be improved and the possibility IS there for it to be just as good, if not better, than the Sense camera, but it is VERY hard since HTC doesn't help out at all
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Both of you are missing the point, reread the op he is asking for a alternative camera for aosp as the stock one sucks

Try to find the miui camera. Its much better than the aosp one

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
I've been testing the Xperia T for a week. It is very fast, literally flies, and has a very acceptable battery life.

My complaint is with the screen. Not only is worse than xperia Ion, but is slightly lower than xperia s. Judge for yourselves:

Xperia S - Xperia T - Xperia ION

The Xperia ION screen looks vibrant, with punchy colors, with stellar contrast and very deep blacks, so deeps that the screen seems to merge with the frame, and also has excellent viewing angles. In fact, looks like an IPS display, very close to greater screens out there like iPhone or HTC one X. Maybe the ION has the best display that Sony has ever made. The problem is that even the xperia s has a better screen than the Xperia T. The display on Xperia T looks washed out, lacking contrast, seems as if the glass and the screen were far apart from each other.

The new flagship of Sony it's a great device with fantastic design, but the screen is mediocre. Why Sony does not put all his best hardware on their flagship? It's difficult to understand.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
What was the brightness settings, when you tested them?

This looks weird, that there is almost nothing on the display (just black) on some pictures.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
brightness set on 30% on all three
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Hmm, and that's it, 30% on one of them doesn't mean the same brightness level on second of them.

One of them could be 30% = 100 level

Second of them could be 30% = 150 level

And even if the levels are same, the voltage can be different on each other.

Only serious testing is with 100% brightness.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AayushDhuria:
Maybe you got a piece which has a defaulted screen?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
Full Brightness, 100% on both:

(Left ION - Right Xperia T)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Wow that's pretty crazy difference. The ion does have a great screen.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miki_69:
maybe Bravia engine not working on T (faulty)? Looks like it. Can you post images with BE off (to rule out this possibility)?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Maximus999:
Looks like the gamma is too high.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Haldi4803:
i heard something about Xperia T using a new Screen protector! You took that away before testing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lokenok:
Xperia Ion has a great display! omg i regret not buying it :9
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] raytraceme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cu2Jmz2FEU

The difference btwn the colors of the t&v goes to show that the t isn't really sony's flagship and that the v is.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DennisDD78:
Right now i'm thinking about to sell Ion and buy an T, but after this pictures, i don't know... And, as i understood, the screen of T is smaller because of the virtual buttoms, right? But anyway, this is a Bond's phone :), and it runs on S4, and it have a great design, so, i'm still not sure of my decision :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
I don't have an Ion to compare against, but the screen on my T looks to be much better than this one.

Colours and contrast as very good, the black fades into the screen surround. The auto brightness is very aggressive though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tom369:
Pity Sony doesn't pay much attention to what screen it puts into a phone. This is exactly as the thread title says: mediocre display. If a manufacturer doesn't get it that the screen in a smartphone is one of the most important things then I don't know how Sony wants to succeed. They could at least put a good quality IPS panel into their flagship device. Sony has to learn from HTC or Apple.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
I would agree, i find the picture on these phones quite 'washed out', the colours compared to a galaxy S3 are very dull. I know screen tech is different, but even my old Arc (LT15i) had a better saturated screen than this....i may report it and see what O2 UK / Sony UK say.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
I believe, Sony will succeed. I am going to buy T, even after watching these pictures. Nothing is perfect, but still I find this phone to be the best device with cost/performance comparison for couple of upcoming months. I know, that the screen is something that I can adapt to. I could adapt to GN screen and I could adapt to Photon screen. Two screens, miles away one from each other. And for me, any LCD is better than Amoled.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
It's important to clarify this issue, and see if my screen is defective, a prototype, or simply Sony putting bad screens in their flagship.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] For_itembine:
I assumed the display was mind blowing. Now. I am unsure if I will buy it :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Ive been closely looking at it, it looks to be very sensitive to he actual viewing angles, whilst playing temple run, if i slightly angled the screen closer or away from my eyes, the colours became washed out, and then vivid again when tilting up right.

The screen, when looking head on is fine, colours are vivid, we used the Mclaren P1 Reality app to test, and the Samsung Galaxy S3 blew away colour reproduction on this device.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
Would love to but have no extra camera ATM, just Xperia T and S...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
I forgot to write here. Nope. There is nothing wrong with that display they said. It was my first device from Sony (Ericsson) and I'm dissapointed. Recently i had hands-on with Xperia P and it's display was wonderful and with excellent viewing angles as my old SGS2.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] --anx--:
But you forgot that XPERIA P and GALAXY S2 have

different kind of display

, with a PenTile matrix!

Xperia T has

IPS DISPLAY

, which is way different if compared to PenTile one...:cool:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
P doesn't have pentile, it has an extra subpixel, RGBW.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
SGS2 doesn't have Pentile. It's RGB amoled. IPS does meant bad viewing angles. HTC ONE X has maybe the best viewing angles so far.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] --anx--:
Yes you're right about SGS2...but i've read somewhere that this phone had some "ghosting" problem...typical of pentile screens...I knew that it wasn't pentile but this caught me wrong...

And regarding One X...well...it was one of the most gorgeous displays that I've ever had, no doubt...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
All AMOLED displays suffer from burn-in after a certain time (or well, the most-used pixels lose brightness). Another typical AMOLED fault is that the colour balance and temperature are way off. Pro's of AMOLED are the theoretically infinite contrast and saturated colours.

The One X probably has the best display in any phone currently on the market. Very colour-accurate, high contrast, good colour temperature (close to 6500K), ...
