hey what it exactly do?
I tried to have fun with patchrom but have too old laptop ( has not enough ram ).
So it just copying all the files or also patching frameworks?
You know what I mean. That we need the same manufacturer rom with the same base not?
For example rom is based on cm10 and I want to port to base AOSP. So will this work or not?

those system apps use lots of hidden API which is not available in android SDK (security reason i guess)..
maybe this blog can help u out http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/

Maybe you will need to add some external libraries like the supportv4 library.

Hmmm thanks for the link. I looked at it real quickly this morning and it may be what I need. once I get home I'll post the errors I'm getting.
But they mostly pertain to that link where some imported things cannot be found.

There are two options available for uploading your changes to gerrit (Repo Upload or Git Push).
Note: Linux is case sensitive, the items below are written as they should be in terminal
Repo Upload
repo start <branch> <path to repo> | example repo start haloStuff frameworks/base
cd to your working folder | example cd frameworks/base
Make your changes¹ (manual edits or cherry-picked commit)
Stage your changes using: git add <path to files changed> | example
git add packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/halo/Halo.java
Alternately, you could stage all changed files using: git add .
Commit your changes² using: git commit -a
repo upload <repo name>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Git Push
The same steps as above apply up to and including performing your local commit.
Replace the repo upload (final step) with the following:
git push ssh://(gerrit username)@gerrit.paranoidandroid.co:29418/AOSPA/(repo name) HEAD:refs/for/(branch)
git push ssh://[email protected]:29418/AOSPA/android_frameworks_base HEAD:refs/for/jb43
Click to expand...

How to update commits in gerrit:
Ensure your previous commit submission or the commit you wish to update is at the head of the given repo tree
Make your updates/changes
git add -A
git commit --amend
Append your changes to the description (Do not remove the change-Id from the previous commit)
Use: git push ssh://(gerrit username)@gerrit.paranoidandroid.co:29418/AOSPA/(repo name) HEAD:refs/for/(branch)
Click to expand...

** Before uploading anything, please build and test your changes.
1* - If you're cherry-picking a commit that has not gone through a change-Id process, you will not be able to upload it. Simply attempt to upload and when it errors, a change-id will be suggested. Add this Id to the bottom of your commit by amending your original commit statement and then proceed to upload.
git commit --amend
2* - The following format should be used when making your commit statement.
Single project commit example
Short descriptive summary (50 characters or less)
<blank line>
Followed by a more detailed explanation of what you changed and why it was changed.
Bullet points should be used where necessary.
* Denoted either by an asterisk (*)
- Or by hyphens (-)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Optional: Include a link to a screenshot, if your change has some visible impact.
Multi-project commit example - Each commit should be numbered [x/y]
[x/y] <Component> : Short descriptive summary (50 characters or less)
<blank line>
Followed by a more detailed explanation of what you changed and why it was changed.
Bullet points should be used where necessary.

Best Practice
It is good practice to retain original committer's credentials, such as making sure the commit author is directed to their github username. Also, documentation of where coding came from if cherry picked would be greatly appreciated (provide direct links where possible).
If your are aware of who the original author is but your cherry-pick does not contain this information, you can fill in the original author name by using
git commit --amend --author "FirstName LastName <[email protected]>"

Sorry, was digging around for an answer and the best explanation I can find as to why it cannot be changed was here:
https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1217
Put bluntly, even if we do change it could break other things in Gerrit. Something I'm not a particular fan of doing.

Ok no issues. thanks anyway.

@Anu6is I cherry-picked from the gerrit and made some changes in the files. I now want to upload the changes. When I give the command git commit --amend I make the necessary changes and when I push the change through git push it creates a new open commit. What should I do.
The changes are mere clean up according to the comments in the initial commit.

You need to place the Change ID of the commit on gerrit as the last line of your commit message in terminal.
You can simply copy the change id from gerrit. It's on the right side of the commit message

thanks

Creating a modded apk

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to start to make some mods in some applications but I'm not sure where to start, mainly because i'm in Linux.
For Windows I know about dnSpy which allow us to decompile, edit, compile etc etc apk files!
Is there any applications for Linux to do the same job?

Ok, I have already that application installed, but it keeps telling me that I should have some 3rd party applications in my "vendor" folder. What applications are those? I already tried to copy into that folde "adb" and also the applications that comes with APK Tool, but it still shows the same warning. And I cannot edit dll modules with APK Studio as I can with dnSpy!

I use apktool and smali/baksmali...no studio needed. It is also a good idea to have old and new versions of smali/baksmali (I use 1.3.3 and 2.1.3) because some mods you download the smali files will be in old code format. So I smali them into classes.dex with the 1.3.3 and then baksmali with 2.1.3 to convert old code to new before merging with your apk.

Ok, thanks
I have downloaded version 2.2.0 of smali and baksmali and also a zip containing (i hope, smali and balsmali) version 1.3.3 of the same application! Is there any basic tutorials to teach how to start with these applications?

Ok, after I have decompressed/decompiled/whatever the apk file I need to edit a file that is a dll module! It has some like c# or so code. How can I edit these files, change them and compile the file again???? Some use dnSpy and when the dll file is opened, we can see a lot of code, functions and stuff. How can I do that without dnSpy because looks like there is no linux version of dnSpy.

Yes, I was trying to create my own modded version of a game! I usually use Atom, but I already tried to open DLL files with Atom and it doesn't work!
Do I have that Notepadqq for Debian?

I`ve been trying to figure out why do you want to "create a modded apk" and according to your last post , you`re trying to bypass functionalities of an original game
