I've got Samsung Galaxy A20 without an AOD
I Did manage to extract the AOD Apk from the Galaxy A30 which has it.
Is there a way I could port it to my A20?
Both Same Android version and Both have OneUI. Same screen size also.

Does it mean there is some lib file missing or something else?
I will be very thankful for your help

friend any luck with it..
may be if you just disable the watermark to see no error in logs
may be it will work..
since this .argb files is embeded in .so file am not able to get it..
u can download below new apk file which has lib files of watermark..

INTRODUCING
Hello XDA Community
I just want to share TIPS how to port OEM/VENDOR Apps to your current ROM
Requirement :
1. Knowledge in decompile/recompile/sign/zipalign apk file (apps)
- If you don't know how to do this, visit this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195680
2. Knowledge to find library file (*.so file) and framework file (*.jar) whats needed from apps
3. You should understand MANAGING APPLICTAIONS it help on making update into system like porting APPS
- if you don't know how to do this, visit this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60829642&postcount=2
4. Knowledge to use LogCat
- if you don't know how to do this, visit this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274119
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
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
- 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/
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
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
Change to this numberCode:minSdkVersion: '[COLOR="Red"]16[/COLOR]' targetSdkVersion: '17'
save all changesCode:minSdkVersion: '[COLOR="Red"]14[/COLOR]' targetSdkVersion: '17'
then recompile, sign and zipalign
NOTE :
1. Not any apps can be ported to lower Android Version by change minimal sdk59Analizing 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
You should look at AndroidManifest.xml what app needed framework files, see screenshots!
take the file name like on AndroidManifest.xml in system/framework and take xml permissions files from system/etc/permissions
2. Missing *.so files
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!
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
RIGHT?Code:const-string v2, "[COLOR="Red"]storage_internal[/COLOR]"
- SO Search storage_internal in Public.xml in your framework-res.apk
copy the code and change the code look like this!
Shrink code toCode: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
So it will look like thisCode:const v2, [COLOR="Red"]0x10405ad[/COLOR]
Code:.line 262 .local v0, "description":Ljava/lang/String; const v2, 0x10405ad if-eqz v2, :cond_0
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.396Thanks for it...... :good::good::good::good:
but still waiting for more detil tuttor, give some example to port apk from sony to all android device
