You can just launch an app, wait for it to FC and then read logcat to find out what library it requires
The better way is to decompile apk and search for loadLibrary() calls in sources.

Now I only want to know how to port Walkman visualizator, because this error doesn't help much:
This symbol is not there in some library, but what lib exactly?) I think it's in Skia 2D graphic library, but I haven't found a version with which visualizer could work.

hii.. i'm a xperia pro mk16i(iyokan) user, n currently using Lx cm11 rom, so can anybody port keyboard from stock ics to jb(cm10) or kitkat(cm11)
i'm actually noob in such thing, so if anybody can make it possible so me n all iyokan user will b greatfull for him, i searched alot but found only a port of keyboard from stock ics rom to custom ics rom.
