[INFO][REF][MON 18 FEB '13] Jelly Bean Porting thread | Vision Keyboard Fixes

I'm starting this thread as a result of trying to port Paranoid Android 2.51 from the saga. Long story short, turns out previous known ways to fix keyboard problems in ICS ports no longer work for Jelly Bean.
Please PM me and post useful info in this thread.... I absolutely do not want this to turn into a "how do I do this" thread.... This is for exchanging knowledges and discussion.
Progress so far: Thanks to strapped365, who has successfully ported PA 2.xx WITH working keyboard for the myTouch 4G Slide, We now know how to enable the soft keyboard. strapped365's instructions were off the top of his head, so here I have written a revised version with detailed instructions.
If you want to help out but are a n00b at editing .apk files, please follow this simple guide for de/ recompiling with APKTool.
SOFT KEYBOARD FIX
Using apktool, decompile framework-res.apk, then open res/values/bools.XML . Look for
Code:
<bool name="config_forceDisableHardwareKeyboard">[COLOR="Red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>
Change it to
Code:
<bool name="config_forceDisableHardwareKeyboard">[COLOR="Red"]true[/COLOR]</bool>
Before I go any further, I'm not convinced this is the best way to fix the problem because this boolean suggests we are saying that we should force the hardware keyboard to not be used just to get the soft keyboard up instead, although at least the hardware keyboard is still recognised. We need to look more into android.policy.jar stuff.
Anyway, now go into res/values/integers.XML and find
Code:
<integer name="config_lidOpenRotation">[COLOR="red"]-1[/COLOR]</integer>
Change it to
Code:
<integer name="config_lidOpenRotation">[COLOR="red"]90[/COLOR]</integer>
Still in integers.XML, look for
Code:
<integer name="config_lidNavigationAccessibility">[COLOR="red"]0[/COLOR]</integer>
and change it to
Code:
<integer name="config_lidNavigationAccessibility">[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]</integer>
DO NOT change
Code:
<integer name="config_lidKeyboardAccessibility">[COLOR="red"]0[/COLOR]</integer>
When I did, I got bootloops.

PHYSICAL KEYBOARD BUTTON BACKLIGHT
I've tried lms24's fix for ICS (scroll down to the bottom of the post) but unfortunately this does not work, which I'm slightly surprised at being as other framework tweaks (for soft keyboard) work, and comparing JB's values for this stuff to ICS's does not show much difference.

PHYSICAL KEYBOARD OPEN / LID OPEN STATE (SCREEN ROTATION UPON OPENING KEYBOARD)
I've had a look in android.policy.jar and in PhoneWindowManager.smali there is an interesting method, it is in the original Jelly Belly ROM (which is what, if you're porting, you should be using because the other JB ROMs are test builds) but is not in the PA ROM I'm porting (nor will it be in any other non-Vision ROM, I guess). Take a look. Simply putting the method into the ported ROM's PhineWindowManager.smali file doesn't work, there must be something deeper at work here.
Code:
.method private applyLidSwitchState()V
.registers 4
.prologue
.line 5042
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mPowerManager:Landroid/os/LocalPowerManager;
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->isBuiltInKeyboardVisible()Z

TO FINISH OFF
Here's how strapped365 told me to finish it off (I used Ubuntu's built in archive manager to do this, it should work fine, if you're not using 7zip just extract the right files from the original, delete the respective files in the new one and pack the old stuff):
Once the apk is compiled open the newly compiled apk with 7zip on one window and then open the original untouched apk in another 7zip window and drag the META_inf and manifest XML from the original apk into the new apk ( the new apk NEEDS these ) once that's done your good to go. Just note that this still leaves an onscreen keyboard in landscape when then keyboard is open, but its better than what your dealing with.

Obviously make sure the new file is renamed to to framework-res.apk.

For helping me out with all this... so far this is not spawned in any way from my own knowledge (although I have been doing my own investigating) but has been from help and advice from the above.

Sprint galaxy s3 no schedule message option for text

On my victory running 4.1.2 it had a schedule message option on the menu. Does anyone know how to get it on the s3. I opened feature.xml and changed false to true but it still doesn't show up.

Recompile, done

Thanks I'll try that. Do you know why the feature was removed?

I dont know why not even on the S2 was it enabled by default

When I decompile with apk manager it says can't find framework resources for package of id: 2. You must install proper framework files.

[MOD][GUIDE]Right-side status bar quick settings pulldown

This guide was written based on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 ND8 KitKat stock ROM but with the proper modifications may work for other KitKat ROMs. Please don't ask me to modify this to work with ROM xyz or to compile this for you into a ROM. I won't do it.
Background Info
This guide is based on work orignally written by havocgb here. His code was written for the Sony Xperia Mini and had to be somewhat modified for use on our phones so make sure to drop a thank you over in that thread.
Requirements
apktool 2.0 beta 9 and the knowledge of how to use it. There are various guides on how to use apktool on XDA. Find one and read it. Make sure to read the information on the apktool site as well since some of the options in 2.0 may be different from the guides you find.
A text editor that supports Unix-style text files. I recommend Notepad++.
Files
You'll be working with SystemUI.apk
SystemUI.apk
Decompile SystemUI.apk using apktool.
Open smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali in your preferred text editor.
Find # instance fields and add .field private mTouchRight:Z on a new line somewhere before # direct methods.
Find # virtual methods and add the following methods ABOVE it:
Code:
.method private interceptOneFingerStatusBarRightTap(Landroid/view/MotionEvent;)V
.locals 4
.param p1, "event" # Landroid/view/MotionEvent;
.prologue
iget-boolean v1, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mExpandedVisible:Z
if-nez v1, :cond_1
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mDisplay:Landroid/view/Display;
invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/view/Display;->getRotation()I

invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/view/MotionEvent;->getX()F
move-result v0
cmpl-float v0, v0, v1

:goto_0
return-void
:cond_0
invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->flipToNotifications()V
goto :goto_0
.end method
Take note that the line const/high16 v1, 0x44070000 is a floating-point hexadecimal value that controls the starting point of the quick pulldown zone in pixels when in portrait orientation (in this case, the start point is set at approximately 540 pixels from the left side of the status bar) while the line const/high16 v1, 0x44480000 controls the start point of the pulldown zone when in landscape orientation (this value is approximately 800 pixels from the left side of the status bar). For larger screens or to change the size of the drag zone, you'll want to re-calculate these using a floating-point to hexadecimal conversion.
Locate the portion of code that looks like the following:
Code:
.method public flipToNotifications()V
.locals 10
.prologue
const/high16 v9, 0x3f800000
const/4 v8, 0x0
const-wide/16 v6, 0xc8
const/4 v5, 0x1
const/4 v4, 0x0
On a new line under const/4 v4, 0x0, add iput-boolean v4, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mTouchRight:Z
Locate the portion of code that looks like the following:
Code:
.method public flipToSettings()V
.locals 11
.prologue
const-wide/16 v9, 0x15e
const/4 v8, 0x4
const/4 v7, 0x1
const/4 v6, 0x0
const/4 v5, 0x0
On a new line under const/4 v5, 0x0, add iput-boolean v7, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mTouchRight:Z
Locate the section of code that looks like the following:
Code:
.method public interceptTouchEvent(Landroid/view/MotionEvent;)Z
.locals 5
.param p1, "event" # Landroid/view/MotionEvent;
.prologue
const/4 v1, 0x0
const/4 v2, 0x1
.line 2973
iget v3, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mStatusBarWindowState:I
if-nez v3, :cond_1
.line 2974
invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/view/MotionEvent;->getAction()I
On a newline above ABOVE the line invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/view/MotionEvent;->getAction()I, add invoke-direct {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->interceptOneFingerStatusBarRightTap(Landroid/view/MotionEventV
Locate the method .method public updateExpandedViewPos(I)V and locate the line return-void inside of the method. On a new line above return-void, add invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->oneFingerStatusBarRightTapFlipToQuickPanel()V.
Save the file and recompile SystemUI using apktool. Don't forget to re-sign the APK (either use an APK signer if you have a ROM that has 3rd-party system app signatures enabled or copy the AndroidManifest.xml file and META-INF folder from the original to the new APK).
Install to your phone using your preferred method. You should already know this but I'll say it anyway, THIS CANNOT BE INSTALLED LIKE NORMAL SIDE-LOADED APKs. I prefer to reboot to recovery and use ADB to push the file to the system, but you can use whatever method is easiest for you (ie. Aroma file manager, flashable zip, etc.).

Thanks for this. I plan on adding this to Tribute in the near future.

I need help please. I'm having error " [5048,15] no viable alternative at input 'p1' " whenever I compile SystemUI.apk. I'm trying to apply this mod on my N8000. Thanks in advance!

Ok thanks for the suggestion. I will try that.

Need help please .I manage to solve my problem about compiling but when I install it I'm having systemUI stop(foreclose) message. If you have time if possible please help me check my Phonestatusbar.smali ,in what part did I do wrong I've attach my PhoneStatusBar.smali below. Hope you can help me.Thanks in advance.

Would need to see a logcat. If you don't know how to pull one and post it here, however, I'd say you're not ready to start implementing mods.

Ok I will post a logcat when I have access to pc. Yeah I think I'm not ready yet for this kind of mods.But I have some little experience in implementing mods in Jellybean before though(by following others guide too), but having a hardtime with kitkat at the moment. By the way any chance you can share me your phonestatusbar.smali or even the SystemUI.apk with you mod included so I can compare it with mine? I think it not necessary to download the whole rom if I just need one apk and beside I don't have S3. And I have a crappy internet connection. Hope you understand.Thanks!

Nope. My ROM has multiple mods so the smali and apk will not help you. Not to mention, my phone is a Galaxy S3.

Ok thanks.I'll wait for someone's else help, who implemented this mod of your's and with clear instruction I'm capable of understanding(like the guide of havocgb, it has before and after).Your mod is just new that's means just few people implemented it yet in their rom at the moment.When time come's there will surely be someone out there who will write a clear guide which we amateur's will understand. Thanks again for this guide anyway. Cheers mate!
P.S. I think even we have different gadget as long as they are the same brand(like Samsung) .I think there are a lot of similarities on their content. I successfully made mods for my tablet using guides from Note 2014 and Note pro before by the way .

There's nothing new about this mod. Was originally written for an Xperia phone by havocgb in March 2013. This is clearly stated in the op. If you are incapable of following instructions, modifying the code to fit your device, and debugging your own code, that is not my fault. FYI, others have already successfully implemented this mod. At least one was on a note device.

Ok. I'll look for that who implemented it on note(If I get lucky).I'm just looking for a quick solution for this cause I really want to implement this to my gadgets. Thankfully you did not suggest "google is your friend" thing to find solution for your problem.I can't access google, its block in my location(China).Thanks again for the guide.Anyway Cool! peace mate!

haha well said bro
but structure of signature verification is not same since 4.4 to till date
there are lot of modification in structure and security level of api developed in their best
seems you just seen the services.jar changes hmm
had you looked to core-libart.jar ?
and you just see lines bro ?
why don't you look the code back to java ( i meant from smali to java ) so you can know the changes what i did
read the java imports
https://github.com/frohoff/jdk8u-dev-jdk/tree/master/src/share/classes/java/security
read it get it
i had those changes too
the old guide is just allowing to install temporary ( if you already had old install and data is present)
but not a complete SuperUserMod
just for you to prove ( try only with marshmallow and this guide is from marshmallow )
for example add new settings.apk with new signatures replace it
clear data from recovery and check if your settings are there or not
Before commenting of comparison please go through the google, and try to read what changes are done ( analyze them in java )
then come to thread and give a comment
we are not ready to post something which is already persist/Working
Do tests and get back to here bro
Good luck bro

First, this is not superuser mod, this is three android patches from LuckyPatcher.apk
First two makes your phone very vulnerable, because you makes signature verification always true and disable .apk signature verification. (core-libart.jar)
Superusermod is just
Code:
comparesignatures
const/4 v7, 0x0
bla bla
All other just give you access for downgrade your installed apk (services.jar)
I think you must add this info (about core-libart.jar) to first post. Thanks.

Did it.all good!
Thanks bro!

@venkat kamesh bro is this need to do after these steps?

i dont know why Xperia M4 Services.jar and other file not have Smali Folder

Hello! Does this work on stock marshmallow .291 for sony devices? Also, does this work on locked bootloaders? Great tutorial BTW!

Can I do this if my services.jar is from another systemUI. I have a z3c and I flashed Xperia X sysui and it replaced my stock systemUi and services.jar

thank you bro
but after edit
any app not installed.

@russel5,
I am not familiar with how to decompile services.jar, and I am not sure I understand what this is. Do you know of any more basic of a guide on services.jar, deodexing and what it achieves?
Thanks a lot in advance,
MW

I have been served this guide to enable superuser mod in my xperia x
music widget particles requires superuser mod but my xperia x has it

[Guide][SuperUserMOD] disable signature verification nougat/MM

Hello guys
i just found a simple way to disable Signature verification on Nougat / Marshmallow
Tested on Sony and LG .. should also work on AOSP, and based roms
Firstly thanks to My best buddy/ brother (moon guy) @kingdj haha
Requirements:-
- Deodexed Rom
- Services.jar
- core-oj.jar
- Latest Apktools ( i suggest Tickle my android tool by @Ticklefish )
Lets start Start
1. Decompile services.jar (Nougat/MM versions)
2. Open services.jar\smali\com\android\server\pm\PackageManagerService.smali
Method 1 :- (not working for few devices)
look for this method
Code:
method static compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
in that method find these line
Code:
:goto_0
return v3
:cond_0
const/4 v3, -0x1
goto :goto_0
and replace them with this
Code:
:goto_0
const/4 v3, 0x0
:cond_0
const/4 v3, 0x0
return v3
Now look for this code
Code:
invoke-static {v0, v6}, Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService;->compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
[COLOR="red"]move-result v6[/COLOR]
if-eqz v6, :cond_7
Add these changes to that code ( Just red code give an edit )
Code:
invoke-static {v0, v6}, Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService;->compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
[COLOR="red"]const/4 v6, 0x0[/COLOR]
if-eqz v6, :cond_7
Here its Done...!
save and Close
Method 2 :- (will work on any device / easy)
look for this method
Code:
method static compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
Replace the complete method with this
Code:
.method static compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
.locals 13
const/4 v0, 0x0
return v0
.end method
and find his method
Code:
.method private compareSignaturesCompat(Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageSignatures;Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;)I
replace the complete method with this
Code:
.method private compareSignaturesCompat(Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageSignatures;Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;)I
.locals 13
const/4 v0, 0x0
return v0
.end method
and find his method
Code:
.method private compareSignaturesRecover(Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageSignatures;Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;)I
replace the complete method with this
Code:
.method private compareSignaturesRecover(Lcom/android/server/pm/PackageSignatures;Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;)I
.locals 13
const/4 v0, 0x0
return v0
.end method
3. Decompile core-oj.jar ( Red line should be replaced and blue should be matched
open core-oj/smali/java/security/Signature.smali
find this method
Code:
.method public final verify([B)Z
in that method find this lines
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, p1}, Ljava/security/Signature;->engineVerify([B)Z
[COLOR="Red"]move-result v[COLOR="blue"]0[/COLOR][/COLOR]
Change Red line to this
Code:
[COLOR="red"]const/4 v[COLOR="blue"]0[/COLOR], 0x1[/COLOR]
Code:
.method public final verify([BII)Z
in that method find this lines
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, p1, p2, p3}, Ljava/security/Signature;->engineVerify([BII)Z
[COLOR="Red"]move-result v[COLOR="blue"]0[/COLOR][/COLOR]
Change Red line to this
Code:
[COLOR="red"]const/4 v[COLOR="blue"]0[/COLOR], 0x1[/COLOR]
save and close
Now open core-oj/smali/java/security/MessageDigest.smali
Find this method and lines
Code:
.method public static isEqual([B[B)Z
.registers 7
.param p0, "digesta" # [B
.param p1, "digestb" # [B
.prologue
[COLOR="red"]const/4 v[COLOR="blue"]2[/COLOR], 0x0[/COLOR]
array-length v3, p0
array-length v4, p1
if-eq v3, v4, :cond_6
In that change red line to this
Code:
const/4 v[COLOR="Blue"]2[/COLOR], 0x1
Now For Sony devices There is other thing to disable signature Verification...! ( if persists else ignore )
open services.jar/smali/com/android/server/AppOpsService.smali
in that look for this lines
Code:
invoke-direct {p0, p4, p3}, Lcom/android/server/AppOpsService;->isSystemOrPrivApp(Ljava/lang/String;I)Z
move-result v2
if-eqz v2, :cond_1
Delete all those 3 lines and save .... tada
So now super user mode is ready .. you can now do more
Dont forget to mention me if you used my tuts and if i helped you ,....
Regards
VK

I deodexed my 6.0 with tickel my android..u can try it also..

hi @venkat kamesh
1. when i decompile services.jar with TMA or BatchApkTool by BurSoft,
i can't find these lines:
Code:
invoke-direct {p0, p4, p3}, Lcom/android/server/AppOpsService;->isSystemOrPrivApp(Ljava/lang/String;I)Z
move-result v2
if-eqz v2, :cond_1
2. when i decompile services.jar with batchapktool,
packagemanagerservice.smali looks different to yours.
is tma important to decompile???

Old method for KK works on Marshmallow too
Source: My Nexus 5 running Sony Apps.

Just use

@rajdeep312, I'm sorry to say that even mentioning that app is in violation of the XDA Rules. This is because it's considered a warez app.
I'd recommend that you delete the name of it or an XDA Admin could penalize you and/or close the thread.
Just advising you to help prevent this from happening my friend.
Peace and Love!

Dnt know weda there is new security in 378 fw... I did dis and flashed unlock camera buh front camera fc.... And also i tried to use font selector buh didnt work.

There is 3 AppOpsService.smali in Sony services.jar im using it in .376 nougat firmware
here check this: http://imgur.com/a/VxLbO

I'd like to do this by editing source code rather than editing smali code, I can find and edit PackageManagerService's methods but couldn't find later methods. Can you explain where do they exist in source code?

What!! How's this answer my post asking for those specific methods?
Besides I don't just wish to disable it completely but if possible making a switch for the same.

It's ok, I guess you didn't understand my question. I am not editing smali files but making changes in source itself thus I need to know exact file names to find these methods. I couldn't find files from core-oj.jar in source and that's what I asked.

Gotten now... I dnt know bout tha source code, sorry!
But with PackageManagerService alone, it should work. Work for some.!

Yeah, packagemanagerservice should do the work as all main three methods are in there. I just need to make a switch now.

Theoretically if it's a yes to disable verification, then instead of running any code the method will simply return true for signature matches but if it's a no, I am letting it follow it's normal process. Building now.

Nice one buddy!!!

Thanks for the way. Is there any simple way to do this. As coding is not my thing.
