So, for whatever reason, I can't seem to figure out how to trick smali/baksmali into deodexing a few jars in my framework, namely android.policy.jar (which I need to edit for reboot options), settings.jar (which I also need to edit), core.jar, and a few others. Either way, I have uploaded the stock odex files to my servers in hopes that someone might undertake getting this deodexed for me so I can get moving on doing some modding for the US Cellular crowd.
I can provide server access/space to anyone will to help. I have unlimited storage/bandwidth
So yeah, please and thank you in advance.
Here's the files:

Really? Nobody is willing to help an aspiring developer? Even one that's bribing you?
Shameful. Bump.

guys , is there anyone who can help me and write a guide or point me to one on how to add the % overlay for the battery? Cant find what damn smali file to edit.
Piter1225 posted this on a MoDaCo thread:

In services.jar edit IconData.smali, StatusBarIcon.smali, StatusBarPolicy.smali
The best way is to find two services.jar from same ROM - one with, and one without percentage batt and compare them.
Good apps for comparing two files are in my opinion: ExamDiff for Windows and xxdiff for Linux

BTW, if you are making one for the latest FroYo leak, can you please share it?
thanks a lot. Apparently LSteam already did the editing of the services.jar so he saved me a lot of work. you should probably try pushing his services.jar. it might add the % overlay.
nevermind what i said. He went the easy way and did the changes on the framework. I guess ill have to do the whole editing thing.
Ok I'm posting this in hope that a developer will answer.
I have been trying to edit .xml files on the droid x. I'm running linux (who runs windows anyway) I have experience in c++ and scripting , but non in themeing.
I have download a bunch of xml file editors. The problem is that every time I open one with the editor I get a error saying " coding not supported ". What ia the deal here and why? Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas why?
Thank you xda
The .xml files need to be decompiled first. Otherwise, they are unreadable. The only way I know off is to decompile the entire apk file with apk manager or aapt.
Note that you have to recompile the apk (xml) before putting it back on your phone.

Thank you makes sense.

Still working with this myself. You need to look on google code for smali/baksmaling, as this is what is used to compress/decompress the xml files.
Thank you systemadmin that's what I thought I had to do, decompile the. Xml file ,but just didn't now how thank you for your reply.
No worries. I have been working on trying to theme and what not myself, and it seems pretty complex at the beginning. Im trying to get some tips from like bignadad, acidbath, and some of the other big developers out here, but they are usually pretty busy and I haven't had much luck. If you start making some progress, send me a PM and share the love =)

I see all themes ive wanted required "deodexed", but yet I cant find any information on how to "deodexed" lease.link.me.to.solution:
Thanks
allow me to assist you in your search:

...wise guy huh
"De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. "
I understand this aspect...but is there like a guide for (apparently) noobs? As that is what I can seem to find....
perhaps you should read a little in the dev forum??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162764
found it all the way on page 3...and i also found it by.... GOOGLING: deodex atrix
i also found it using the XDA SEARCH feature...remarkable thing it is: deodex atrix
sorry if you find these responses sarcastic, but for pete's sake...i had to do a SEARCH to find it....and find it I did. i cant imagine your search would be that different.
also, this should have been posted in Q&A, and any custom rom you are on is probably ALREADY deodexed...as its basically a standard that everyone does when building a rom.......
...must be my browser results thats failing No worries man, I reply the same way on other msg.brds that I have been on for since 2002 (other topics apparently LOL). Thanks alot.
Ok so I posted this in the Q&A a few days ago and haven't gotten a single response. Do here it is again
I am porting the native Play ps1 emulator to my LG esteem. They both share the same exact chipset so the esteem can run it. I currently have been working on a few things and found the file that calls on the ps certificate buried in all PlayStation certified devises. Now my problem is that I font own an xperia play so I font know where to put or get this certificate. Can any one direct me to or provide me with a current system image that is extractable so I can browse it on my Pc.
I will except any and all help that is relevant.
I have two esteems to test on.
Thank you
Maybe this will help.

System/etc/permissions/com.playstation.playstationcertified.xml
System/etc/permissions/com.sony.android.playstationcertified.xml
System/etc/permissions/com.sonyericsson.android.xperiaplaycertified.xml
System/framework/com.playstation.playstationcertified.jar

System/framework/xperiaplaycertified.jar
System/usr/keylayout/keypad-game-zeus.kl
System/usr/keylayout/keypad-phone-zeus.kl
System/usr/keylayout/keypad-zeus.kl
Hope it Helps!
Damn good help you both have provided, I found and extracted the files and I have most of them.
These are the four files I have scoured the Web for and simply cannot find.
Com.Sony.Android.PlayStation Certified.xml
Com.Sony Ericsson.Android.Xperiaplay Certified.xml
PlayStationCertified.jar
XperiaplayCertified.jar
Could someone point me to them or email me?

the usr folder may not interest you since your phone doesnt have the xperia play gamepad
Thanks that game me the last file I was missing.
Is there anyway I can get you to upload a copy of your build.prop?
I need to make a few edits to mine and I need an xperia play build.prop
To look at.

Thanks man, that was exactly what I needed! now I just have to figure out how to get semcsuite.apk to install and I think this thing will be about done.

Good luck with this. R800 users on CM can't even get this installed.
I definitely will be telling everyone interested. by the way what is the semcsuite.apk for? Maybe if I know a little more about it I could figure out a little more.
ro.product-res-path-framework/semcgenericuxpRes.apk
Anybody know what that is? Man I hate being a noob.
Okay forget tho, I have been swapping files, adding permissions, replacing .jars, I have done about 15 backup and restored. I think I need some sleep. Does anyone know how to modify an apk? When I wake up IM going to extract the semcsuite apk and scoured it's programming for whatever only allows it to install on Sony devices, anyone done this already?
I believe I have messed up something within my build.prop file but am unsure what it is. Would someone be so kind as to paste their unmodified build.prop file? If that is not possible, I'd take a limited modified version as well
Thanks for any help someone is able to offer
I was able to pull some from the many roms that have been posted here and use those.
Thank you to anyone considering responding
