Dear Droid Cult, I've built the latest master branch of 2.3.3 on my Ubuntu 11.10, and in the process, built all the stock apps.
My aim is to: 1> Add custom features to a system app, and make a standalone, distributable .Apk, with a different app name/credentials/package, so that it does not try to replace / update the existing system app. In doing so, I've come across a couple hurdles - some a> Apps based on system app are built as .apks and .odex files. This kind of app packaging is NOT distributable, unless you create custom firmware for the app. I want a regular .apk with classes.dex inside the Apk. For instance, if I want to make myMail, based on the system email application, HOW can I make a standalone myMail.apk which is easily distributable? b> Clearly building in the OS source path makes the app less portable, as compared to those built with the standard SDK. Any comments on how to increase portability, if you base your app on a system app? Thanks!
