You're probably looking for framework-res.apk which is located in /system/framework/.

Don't give up so easily It took me a couple of days to get everything working when it came to de/recompiling. But it made me pay attention to things I deemed unimportant and not worth checking, reading the error log is one of those things, and trust me, reading it will help you a lot. And if you don't know what it means, just copy-paste it here or somewhere where you can get help fixing it

Would you mind telling me the step for recompiling??

I haven't used apktool on pc in a long time and I'm not using windows anymore so I don't know. I would have to look into it, but honestly I'm doing other stuff on linux that take priority, so you will have better luck asking someone else.


I know this thread is about porting CM themes, but it will help you a lot in understanding of compiling http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2334637

you need to see media_profile.xml look at this

Code:

    <AudioEncoderCap name="aac" enabled="true"
        minBitRate="8000" maxBitRate="156000"
        minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="48000"
        minChannels="1" maxChannels="[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]" /> change to [COLOR="Red"]2[/COLOR] ([COLOR="Red"]6[/COLOR] value is for XT/XV/XTX camera driver) don't try to change to [COLOR="Red"]6[/COLOR]

if it's mono because mod audio recording bitrate, i guess you missed something

Hello Xperia friends....


3. Go to smali/com/sonyericsson/android/camera/configuration/parameters

open VideoSize$VideoProfile$Builder.smali ( if there smali available, i mean different Xperia have diffierent parameters like older Xperia 2011)

search this code

Code:

[COLOR="Red"]0x1f400[/COLOR]

then change to

Code:

[COLOR="Red"]0x3e800[/COLOR]

save it!!!
