How to Fix the Compile Issue and Fatal errors with Sense 4.0 ROM file

Tweet

ICS brought many changes and development in the Google OS. This may frustrate many users because they need to modify and changes the FILE such APK and APK Manager. Sense 4 is the main cause for the compilation errors associated with file modification in APK tools and APK Manager.


The most three important files framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk and systemui.apk  all create these errors 

Here is the fix

 1. Framework-res.apk

a) Since ICS apktool creates multiple plurals errors, but you can easily fix these by using a custom version of apktool. Now updated incl. latest smali baksmali properties for ICS (thx fernando)

Custom ICS apktool version - Download

b) if you get tag errors like these

anims.xml:3: error: Found tag anim where item is expected
layouts.xml:3: error: Found tag layout where item is expected
raws.xml:3: error: Found tag raw where item is expected

Replace all tags in layouts.xml in values folder with:

<item type="layout" at the front and </item> at the end


Replace all tags in anims.xml in values folder with:

<item type="anim" at the front and </item> at the end


Replace all tags in raw.xml in values folder with:

<item type="raw" at the front and </item> at the end


2. Systemui.apk

When trying to decompile systemui, you will get bad magic value errors. Solution is to decompile without classes, as long as you don`t need to edit smali code. Even if you need to do that, you can still decompile classes.dex separately with smali baksmali.

a) Use -s switch when decompiling to copy classes.dex instead of decompiling it

java -jar apktool.jar d -s systemui.apk systemui-decoded

b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

EDIT: with updated apktool version systemui now compiles fine incl. classes.dex


3. com.htc.resources.apk

Here you get nice layouts tag errors and public entry issues. Again there`s an easy fix for that.

a) Replace all tags in layouts.xml in values folder with:

<item type="layout" at the front and </item> at the end

PHP Code:

<resources>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_imageicon_text">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_imageicon_text</item>
    <item type="layout" name="pin_keyboard">@layout/zzzz_pin_keyboard</item>
    <item type="layout" name="zero_dummy_layout">@layout/alert_dialog</item>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_2stamp</item>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_2text_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_bright</item>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_image_2text_image_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_image_2text_image_bright</item>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_imageicon_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_imageicon_2text_2stamp</item>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_separator">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_separator</item>
    <item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_dlna_1">false</item>
</resources> 

b) Delete entry "zero_dummy_dimen" in public.xml - it will be created correctly again during compile

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Bug - low storage warning though you have plenty of storage space

Tweet

Are you an Android based Phone user?  Then you may notice silly and random bugs though not so serious but it often annoys you. One such bug associated with Samsung Galaxy S19000 is “Low storage Warning though your mobile has plenty of the storage Space”. It really annoys anybody for “No space left” message and  prevent you from  downloading new apps from Google play store.

This article deals with the devices which run on CyanogenMod. Here CM utilizes a small and Partition size is just 170MB but fast flash chip to store data in /datadata. For most of the users this is No big deal but the geeks who uses a lot of Apps, beware of the “low Notification” warning message which is Quite normal as the unwelcome guest.

Fix :
In 2903 datafix, only libraries ("lib" and "libs" subdirectories) stay on /data by default.
but you should choose which will store their cache in/Data and this is reversible if one of selected app becomes Laggy and rolled back their cache onto /datadata.

Steps to do : Make an android backup

1.     The Zip file needs to be grabbed and flashed it in recovery mode.

2.     At reboot, it is Obvious that datafix will revert it to previous one (if any one) and apply this one. So first boot in recovery mode takes 5 minutes more than “normal” boot.  

3.     This boot will also creates a "datafix" directory in /data/local with two files :

a.     Move_cache.txt

b.    Skip_apps.txt

4.     Just edit the first file (root needed) to add apps whose cache will go back to /data at next boot :

Code:

com.android.chrome

org.mozilla.firefox_beta

by making these changes you will put Google Chrome and Firefox Beta cache on /data and rest all others apps cache will go to /datadata.

By removing “FireFox cache” in the file and reboot and save the firefox cache on /datadata.

One has to add its name in "skip_apps.txt" file after installing & before rebooting the phone. In addition to it, if you eliminate the apps name from "skip_apps.txt" file list but libraries will be moved to /datadata at next reboot.

The following are the basic requirements to fix this

     

·         Samsung Galaxy S based phone GT-I9000, Vibrant, Fascinate, Captivate, etc.

·         CM based rom including CM7/9, MIUI and maybe ao(k)sp etc.

·         Kernel that supports init.d scripts latest CM9 nightly support it

·         Busybox installed
