decombile the apk and edit the manifest file set min sdk version no to 12 or 13 and recombile.thus ur request is fulfilled. but the app will crash with a null pointer exception if the layout used is only ment for ics and above.else it will work.

that usually wont work trust me
some of app only need to recoded and rebuilded in an IDE. some of them never could work on GB based system since the API and the libs are too different.

ya i knew it wont work thts why i said it will crash with a null pointer exception.
but there are some occations as an app developer we use this trick expecially when working with admob or similiar things. admob sdk will now only support devices from honeycomb. so in that case we will build an app for ics with gb resources i mean layouts and integrate admob sdk.ones it get compiled and done we just change the min sdk version to gb and thts it.the app with ads works perfectly with undupported admob sdk.
but i am damn sure that best ics only apps wont work by this method.because they use more grid layout and one more sory i forgot its name. and hence we will get an force close as eclipse says null pointer exception , the resource not found in layout and so many crap error messages like that.

so the answer is no other way to make ICS apk compitable with GB :laugh:
:highfive:
I never find a ics+ .apk package which is compatible with sgy. Even many CM7 apps (which is based on GB) is also incompatible with sgy.
An ICS app can NEVER be made compatible with Gingerbread. GB is API 10, and ICS is API 15. Each increasing API number contains some newly added functions, classes, enums, interfaces, etc. which are used in the src code. Hence, obviously, an app made with an API 'x' will never be compatible with an API of a no. below 'x'. Even if we make a simple app, like converting KG to Gm, using API level 15, we can't make it compatible with a lower API level by changing the manifest, because the SDKs are different.

Reading about pdroid and from what I gather, you can't use it with our stock ROM even if you have root. Any devs or more knowledgeable people who can tell me how to compile a stock rooted ROM that includes pdroid?

or... for that matter, why is it that none of the roms seem to be integrating pdroid/openpdroid?
I have tried the autopatcher on several different roms, and none have patched properly.
I feel like this is a very good feature, but I am starting to feel as if I am in the minority.
Have I missed any roms with pdroid in them?
Maybe its still too buggy to be integrated into a ROM - regardless, I'm going to see if I can get something going tonight when I have a few hours. I've never compiled Roms before tho so I doubt I'll be successful. If I am I'll find a way to share it :beer:

I have patched Primerunner rom, PA rom and Steve's PUB rom with OpenPdroid and Autopatcher through ApG
Don.t think Collegedev has pushed Pdroid to 4.2.1 in Autopatcher yet but am sure openpdroid and pdroid are now interacting on how to move it forward...
Steve's Pub rom 5th Feb..fully patched no errors.....Primefrunner and PA.2.99 patched with 1 or 2 error fixes but successfully patched..
I'm running Steve's Pub rom patched with Openpdroid and this is an Antutu score for reference ...running very smooth
Uploaded Patches
http://androtransfer.com/?developer=stevespear
Above is link for rom use Krait version
Here is the patches for Steve's pub rom
You will also need Pdroid manager apk to control and monitor..
Remember YOU do this because YOU want to
It's working perfect for me
So it wouldn't be possible to patch stock rooted 4.2.1? Or the upcoming 4.2.2? Only aokp and aosp?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
i looked for a few threads about pdroid and i still don't get how i make this thing work on cm10.1 or paranoid android or other roms.
I'm also interested in integrating openpdroid or pdroid, does anyone have opinion between the two projects?
Also in the same vein, the fugumod kernel on Galaxy Nexus looks really good. A similar hardened kernel would be nice to see on Nexus 4, unless one exists already?

OK, I made it and it works!
1) Download mako rom from link above.
2) Download gapps.
3) Download those 2 attached files.
4) Move all files to phone storage.
5) Make a nandroid backup.
6) Full wipe.
7) Flash by this order:
* Rom
* Gapps
* ....restore.zip (attached file)
* ...update.zip (attached file)
8) Wipe dalvik cache
9) Reboot
10) Install from play store the PDroid Manager
That's is.
hmm

Great info. I am curious if their is a specific way you did it? I had tried that specific build, and got patching failed from apg.

THIS. very interested in 4.2.2. I am using the mysterious aokp 4.2.2 right now, and I LOVED pub, but I don't like downgrading. As frustrating as that may be sometimes... case in point, DANG I really miss AVRCP. driving around and my jvc head unit always says 'no name'
I guess my main question is why are more developers not integrating this into their roms? Seems like a valuable security enhancement.
(Please, don't get me wrong. I am not complaining, and I love and appreciate the work that goes into development. I am genuinely curious if their is some reason preventing integration.)
Finally got open pdroid to patch successfully on both mysterious aokp 4.2.2 2/19 release, and on pa 3.0. happy happy camper. Facebook messenger now says I am most definitely not at another girl's house when I message my girlfriend. jk of course.

How do I run auto patcher on Win 7 without the ApG tool
Hi,
I downloaded the latest ApG tool from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31648393&postcount=690
I had already installed the latest JDK/JRE along with Cygwin on my PC (with some help from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28196231&postcount=104).
However, when I run ApG, it insists on downloading Java and Cygwin once again! The total download it wants to make is some 250 MB. While the size of the download is not an issue, I do want to know why ApG is insisting on downloading something that has already been installed. Is there some mistake with my installation? Or has the ApG team missed out on this basic error check?
Apart from this, if I want to auto patch a ROM using auto patcher on Win 7 (WITHOUT ApG), how do I go about it? Like I said, I already have Java and Cygwin installed on my machine.
Would appreciate any help or guidance on this topic.
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know of any other thread on this topic? I've not been able to find other threads in Q&A related to openpdroid.

I think the reason the Apg tool downloads it's own copy of Java and cgwin is because it was designed to be a stand alone solution. I've been using it since it started supporting 4.2 based roms and it works great. Sorry I can't help with patching a rom without using the tool. It would probably be easier to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine than to figure it out using cgwin.
There is an openpdroid thread in the main android section of these forums. Sorry i cant get you a link right now as I'm on my phone and searching isn't really practical from the xda app.
I guess I'll just have to go ahead and let the app do its magic the way it wants . Thanks anyways for your response. I did think about the VM solution, but that seemed not worth the effort. I'll post a better solution if I find one (on installation without the tool).

If it isn't possible, how difficult would it be to modify the api of an apk to become compatible with android 2.1?

you need to disassemble the apk with apktool then modify the android:minSdkVersion value in AndroidManifest.xml to work with an early android version but it is not guaranteed that works
i have never do that but there are many tutorials arounds
As we all know, Android 4.4 will be called Kit Kat, but what do you all think the future versions of Android will be called? I can recall reading somewhere that the 'L' Choice is going to be something to do with Lemon..... Also what version of android did your first android phone have? I had the original android (HTC dream G1 which had Android 1.0 on it , did you know what Android 1.0 and 1.1 were called? Well they didn't really have names, internally 1.0 was called 'astro boy' and 1.1 was called 'bender' after robots, 1.1 was also known as 'petit four' too

It seems impossible to find anything when 1000s of Google results are scummy suspicious paywall blogs with oddly similar comment sections. I was looking to update my phone to use Cyanogen mod but the device is not on the supported device list but there are devices from lower tier levels.
Full name for my device is: Galaxy J500FN (maybe it has a different name elsewhere ?) a mid range Samsung phone. In Europe. I found a thread about rooting it but that's not really the same.
Not sure how/where to look for answers.
I own the same device currently and would to get answers to this question. This phone has many users in Asia and Middle East. Btw the full name for my device is Galaxy j500H
I have searched a lot but no luck. I could find anything reliable.

Maybe just wanting something different. There are phones out there from Samsung and other manufacturers of lower and same tier with Android 5.1 which have custom roms.
And it's not just look and feel improvements, voice input/output, better image/video quality, batter life etc..

I specifically want a deodexed rom just for Xposed framework to work. Other than that I am pretty much satisfied with the stock rom.

Ok getting the deodexed rom is easy.
Just install kitchen and cygwin on pc and setup the up correctly.
And then using cwm recovery make a backup of a factory reseted device and then just send me a screenshot of folders which you have.
After i tell you which filder to choose paate them into kitchen and start kitchen to make a working folder.
Then inside kitchen menu deodex apps and framework folder and then repack the rom.
After repacking flaah the rom using cwm recovery.
Your root will not be lost.
In least cases if root lost after flaahing the re root it using same method as you used before for rooting.
And for improvments you want in custom rom. I will try to get them in the rom.

Thanks but currently CWM is not available, I am using twrp and I know the procedure you just mentioned but I'd rather wait for someone to cook a rom than do it myself. Time boht kam hai dost
So install the terminal emulator and write this.
Su
Tar -c /system/* /sdcard/system.tar
And wait patiently for the emulator to respond ok
Now you got the system.tar
And now get the boot.img from the rom
When you get both the files paste them in original rom folder in kitchen and stary cygwin
You can get good guids on cygwin and dsixda kitchen and how to set them.up correctly.
If not then i will tell you guys tommorow. Today going to sleep it too late here 1:27 am.

Hey,

I just cant understand this new porting method (5.1.1 has the system.new.dat - and the base rom is just a tar.md5).

There are many roms for moto g3 which is very slow in app opening when compared to j5,
So why can't we hv roms.

J5 is midrange beast.
Because that's not how things work, your phone opens apps "faster" good for you, doesn't mean anything.
