I get FC when port Sony Camera from Xperia Z3 to RR ROM in Galaxy S4 I9500. I taken all framework, lib about camera and still get FC. Here for logcat:crying:

From looking at your log it looks like you might still be missing some libs that belong to SemcCameraUI-noGesture-xxhdpi-release...i would start by skimming thru the system/lib and vendor/lib folders of the Z3. All the issues are looking for the same libs that are missing. So start there. Hope this helps.

My question might sound noobish, but please do not grill me ... :D

I wanted to port the Samsung Write on PDF app to my Huawei Mediapad M5 Pro, since I've never found an app that does a job that good in android, annotating PDFs ... I have a samsung galaxy s8 with WriteonPDF installed, BUT I haven't and I won't root that one ...
Neither is root available for the Mediapad M5 Pro.

Am I correct that I can port it by extracting the files from a ROM that includes the App and the libraries then from the app?

I am quite insecure right now, as this tutorial reads quite complex ... I have experience in rooting and Custom ROMs (mainly installing though)

Why is it that the apk I opened does not contain any *.jar file

hope you answer without killing me :D
best wishes and thousands of thanks beforehand

.param p0, "activity" # Landroid/app/Activity;

.prologue
.line 12
const/4 v0, 0x1

const/4 v1, 0x0

Never knew porting was possible like this. I always had to re-install all the apps and lose my settings. Thanks a lot for this.

    What should i do now? :

    1. First times you need download Full ROM is there already deodexed so you can take some file you need to ported or you make it by yourself
    2. If you already understand what i said above, lets start to final section
    3. If you already take all file what you need to port, collect all the files, and prepare update.zip updater, add the file to zip with right folder

    *.Apk file must be in system>app or priv-app
    *.So file must be in system>lib
    *.jar file must be in system>framework
    *.xml file permissions framework must be in system>etc>permissions

    How can I know what's library is needed? :

    1. Knowledge is in need if the library doesn't exist in apk file, locate the name of the library file (*.so file) that may be related to the application (the file name may be a bit the same with the application) you can search in system>lib or use using a logcat after installing apps, you will see a missing library like :
    FATAL error can't find class blablabla something like that :D

    2. If library file already exist in apk file /folder lib>armeabi (You just need to extract it from apk file and take the file *.so)

    (Taking *.so files)
    Example for all applications

    NOTE For Lollipop : Google has change structure of an applications in system that every applications having lib folder itself, it make more easy to locate lib files

    - Open SemcAlbum.apk using winrar/rar and extract folder lib then remove folder lib from that app
    vwzTO3J.png

    - Rename com.sonyericsson.album.apk to SemcAlbum.apk
    - Create folder with same name with apk name (SemcAlbum)
    - Under that folder create folder lib
    - Under lib folder create folder arm
    - navigate to the extracted lib before, move *.so files from armeabi-v7a if exist or armeabi into SemcAlbum/lib/arm/

    Click to collapse

    3. To see what's apps required library framework file :
    - Decompile apps with using file framework-res.apk from that ROM apps (Also maybe need framework 2 like SemcGenericUxpRes.apk etc)
    - Open AndroidManifest.xml using Text Editor (Like NotePad++) and see like this line
    2SZ4pl2.png

    <uses-library android:name="com.sony.device" android:required="true" />
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    <uses-library android:name="com.sony.device" android:required="false" />
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Leave file has been decompiled and Take it file name (In list AndroidManifest) from the ROM file that you want to ported from system>framework also take permission framework file (*.xml) from system>etc>permissions

    Example :
    com.sonyericsson.navigationbar < it mean jar file, so you should take the file from system/framework

    framework files need xml file permissions
    com.sonyericsson.navigationbar.xml file, so you should take the file from system/etc/permissions


    Explaination :
    What The different true & false?
    true : the application is required that framework to work
    false : the application is still required that framework but without that framework the application can still work but some feature that need framework files will not work.

    This section is not modified the apps, first you can try flash it with Recovery and see its working or not, if not working (FC) you need to see whats wrong in logcat (FATAL ERROR)

    Or the problem apps parsing error because your Android Version is lower (e.g apps JB to ICS)

    Now you need to decompile that apps

    Go to smali folder and search whats wrong in logcat, if you already fix it (I will explain how to fix it in next post)

    Then open AndroidManifest.xml try to change minimal sdk version from Android_manifest or in apktool.yml
    Code: 
    minSdkVersion: '[COLOR="Red"]16[/COLOR]'
targetSdkVersion: '17'
    Change to this number
    Code: 
    minSdkVersion: '[COLOR="Red"]14[/COLOR]'
targetSdkVersion: '17'
    save all changes
    then recompile, sign and zipalign

    NOTE :
    1. Not any apps can be ported to lower Android Version by change minimal sdk

    Analizing app force close and how to fix it

    Well in this post i will explain how to fix force close app that you are trying to port
    Typically applications that do not work is because several factors:
    1. Missing library framework
    2. Missing *.so files
    3. Java Method or function that do not match with your current ROM
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    1. Missing library framework
    You should look at AndroidManifest.xml what app needed framework files, see screenshots!
    2SZ4pl2.png

    take the file name like on AndroidManifest.xml in system/framework and take xml permissions files from system/etc/permissions
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    2. Missing *.so files
    This is really confused how to find what app is need *.so files
    The solution is install the app and take a logcat!

    The log will say something like this :
    example (can't find class libUXVisualizer blablabla)

    then you just search on system/lib for libUXVisualizer.so from the ROM you want to port and take it!
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    3. Java Method or function that do not match with your current ROM
    There is many factors that make app force close, but in SONY Apps usually only error "GetString". if you are trying to port SONY Apps to your current ROM (E.g. CM Based ROM) you will face same issue like this.

    What should i do now after i see this log?

    Ok let's start!!!
    1. Decompile apps with using file framework-res.apk from that ROM apps (Also maybe need framework 2 like SemcGenericUxpRes.apk etc)
    2. Go to folder smali/com/sonyericsson/metadatacleanup/util/
    3. Open StorageManagerIf.smali using text editor
    - Find .line 262 and see like this!
    tyTiMqL.png

    4. Decompile your framework-res.apk
    - Go to folder res/value/
    - Open Public.xml using text editor
    - Following StorageManagerIf.smali in .line 262 there is code look like this
    Code: 
    const-string v2, "[COLOR="Red"]storage_internal[/COLOR]"
    RIGHT?
    - SO Search storage_internal in Public.xml in your framework-res.apk
    EqxeMSF.png

    copy the code and change the code look like this!
    Code: 
        const-string v2, "[COLOR="Red"]storage_internal[/COLOR]"

    invoke-direct {p0, v1, v2}, Lcom/sonyericsson/metadatacleanup/util/StorageManagerIf;->getString(Landroid/content/res/Resources;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;

    move-result-object v2

    invoke-virtual {v2, v0}, Ljava/lang/String;->equals(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

    move-result v2

    if-eqz v2, :cond_0
    Shrink code to
    Code: 
    const v2, [COLOR="Red"]0x10405ad[/COLOR]
    So it will look like this
    Code: 
     .line 262
    .local v0, "description":Ljava/lang/String;
    const v2, 0x10405ad

    if-eqz v2, :cond_0
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    In screenshot logcat say there is many error, you should search similar code like before "storage_sdcard" & "storage_usb" and follow changing code guide like before!!! also search in other smali that same error like that.

    If you are done, save all change then recompile apk and sign apk

    CONGRATZ YOU ARE DONE.
