Warning: This is a development related question!!! lol ( a little OT but still in the ballpark)

So how do you guys go about adding new features to the ROM, tearing down each apk and editing the smali code and then rebuilding? <- is that really the only way to change source?

I'm just trying to understand how you guys go about doing stuff with HTC's source.

I can get down to decompiling classes.dex but after that smali is a totally different world. You can kinda get to java source but I understand that it's kinda useless, because its just a best guess at what the true source is.

any advice for someone like me looking to "play around" in HTC's source? other than learn smali

There is no platform source for HTC sense as it's proprietary, so we essentially decompile and modify the existing jars and apks to support additional features or the toggling of existing ones by inserting calls that are controlled by the gui tweaks app

The venom apps however (tweaks, superuser, filemanager, hub, theme apks, and so on) are source built apks (some using sense sdk) created by monarx and Jan

Do either of expect to move on to the One Max or do you think you'll be sticking with your DNA's?
I expect to pick up the maxx at launch (not sure if vin is)

However that depends on when it's announced and it's final specs

I fully expected to pick up a Verizon One, until the waited 6 months to release it, at which point I had no interest in a 6 month old phone


And in other news: tomorrow *might be a good day to check this thread

My thoughts exactly on both phones. I'm a little concerned about the SIZE of the Max.

I plan on getting the max, as long as Verizon doesn't drag their feet on it like the one.

that's the biggest draw about it for me.




So do the people following the thread get the extremely anticipated pleasure of getting it today.
We never said it'd be released today...said it could be this week.

So sorry if I interpreted this incorrectly.
