On Google I/O 2013, Google has launched new IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA, called Android Studio. I'm really interested in Android Studio, given that I usually using Eclipse in developing Android application. I find that this IDE is really good (or should I say awesome!). But some of my friends said that they're having difficulties in using Android Studio, and prefer the 'good but old' Eclipse. Yes, Eclipse is good, but Google is more supporting the Android Studio. So with this articles, I want to share my experiences in migrating from Eclipse to Android Studio. I also included Google's official guide from d.android.com/
Let's start with pros and cons of Android Studio:
PROS:
- Better UI in designing and coding
- ProGuard and app-signing capabilities.
- Gradle-based build support (For you that has already get used to it)
CONS:
- Hard to manage multiple projects. (For example: to delete a project you have to delete from the explorer)
- Gradle-based build support (For you that's not get used to it)
- Still in EAP (Early Access Preview)
If you have something to say about PROS-&-CONS, I'm glad to hear from you.
Now move along to installing Android Studio. It's very easy.
First of all, go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html and download the installer.
Windows:
- Launch the downloaded EXE file, android-studio-bundle-<version>.exe.
- Follow the setup wizard to install Android Studio.
- Known issue: On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location. Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties. Then open Advanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21.
Mac OS X:
- Open the downloaded DMG file, android-studio-bundle-<version>.dmg.
- Drag and drop Android Studio into the Applications folder.
- Known issue: Depending on your security settings, when you attempt to open Android Studio, you might see a warning that says the package is damaged and should be moved to the trash. If this happens, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and under Allow applications downloaded from, select Anywhere. Then open Android Studio again.
Linux:
- Unpack the downloaded Tar file, android-studio-bundle-<version>.tgz, into an appropriate location for your applications.
- To launch Android Studio, navigate to the android-studio/bin/ directory in a terminal and execute studio.sh.
- You may want to add android-studio/bin/ to your PATH environmental variable so that you can start Android Studio from any directory.
After you installed Android Studio, let your journey begin. But first, you must remember that Android Studio is still in EAP, so there will be many bugs/glitches/errors/whatever-you-call-it that can be annoying. But if you patient enough, you will find it very fun.
How to create project?
It's easy! Just use File -> New Project...
Or, if it's your first time using Android Studio, you will be welcomed with options to "Create New project"
Exploring your projects
File system is quite different with Eclipse. Considering that your android apps will be Gradle-based. So you just have to modify everything inside main project folder (See picture, file under "DMap" is main project folder). Unless you're an expert in Gradle and Intellij.
After you get used to the UI and layout, you can start coding & designing your app.
Designing Layout using Android Studio is Better?
Yes! You can see pictures below that you have 2 options to design layout. First by typing it directly through "Text" mode, or "Drag-and-drop" design. Both of them enable you to preview your design. Just have a 15-minutes experiments with your preview, and you will feel the power!
Let me give you some examples:
Design with "Text" mode
Design with "Drag and Drop" mode
How to include support library?
Another beautiful thing that announced in Google I/O 2013 is ActionBar Compat. I'm waiting it for a long time, because using "Sherlock ActionBar" is a little bit complicated. And now it's released. Download it with your SDK Manager.
Then include it in your project. How? Because this is Gradle-based, it's quite simple. Open "build.gradle" in your main project folder.
For Android-Support v4:
- It's automatically included when you created new project. But if not, use second step.
- Add this line:
Code:
dependencies {
...
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+"
}
For Android-Support v7:
- Add this line:
Code:
dependencies {
...
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+"
}
How tot test your app?
Just like Eclipse, Android Studio support 2 way of testing. By using AVD (Android Virtual Devices) or by real devices. To edit configurations, go to "Run" -> "Edit Configurations". I recommend you to choose "Target Device" -> "Show chooser dialog", to give you more freedom in testing.
For AVD:
- You have to create at least one AVD. To create AVD, go to "Tools" -> "Android" -> "AVD Manager"
- In the chooser dialog, select AVD, and choose your devices.
For Real Device:
- You have to enable USB Debugging in your devices! Enable it, then go forward.
- Connect it through USB. In chooser dialog, you will see your device there.
Known issue: Sometimes the driver is not right. You should use Google USB Driver for testing app in Android. Or sometime, your device won't be detected if it's in sleep/locked mode.
How to generate a signed APK?
This is also easy! Android Studio is provided with App-signing capability so you don't have to open up your keytool or do somewhat-complicated task.
Here's some steps:
- Go to "Build" -> "Generate Signed APK..."
- Click "Create new..."
- To make a new keystore, just put a non-exist keystore in "Key store path:" (The folder MUST exist, while the file MUST NOT exist). And other details.
- It will automatically completed our last dialog in keystore. Just click "Next"
- And "Finish"
TIPS & TRICKS
If you want to change to Darcula Look and Feel, (in Windows) just press: "Ctrl + ~" -> "Switch Look and Feel" -> "Darcula".
This look and feel is very interesting, and I like it so much.
End of articles
It's easy doesn't it? There will be many improvements in the future that I don't know. But let's waiting for it. If you have any suggestions, questions, or even critics, just ask me. And also if you find it helpful, please click "Thanks" or "Donate". I will appreciate it very much.

Multiple Projects
I currently have 8 active projects open in eclipse and during a single day I will work on at least 2-3 of them.
Does anyone know if android-studio will support this?
From what I have seen so far, it will only allow 1 project to be open at a time, this would mean have 4/5 android studios open at once just so that I can switch between projects.
Andy.
p.s. another question is : Can we use eclipse keystores for signing apps? if not what do we do about existing applications?
The thing that kept me off this was that it was impossible to correctly import an Eclipse project, when I tried it... I might give it a try by your instructions later.
Hi Andy,
Android Studio will separate your projects into multiple windows. But not multiple instances. So don't worry it will not consume your memory excessively.
And based on my experiences, Java keystore will be saved as (.keystore) file. So yes, even though you're using Eclipse or Android Studio both of them are the same. Just locate your keystore file, and "Choose existing...".

This way of working was not correctly working for me...
Have you checked that you do it right? For example: Have you export it from Eclipse first, then import it from Android Studio? And not import it directly from Android Studio?
Or do you have any specific screenshot for logs / things that can give me some clues?

Never mind, figured it out myself.
Has to make it run as administrator

That's why if I'm using windows 7 (or above), I will not install some development-related programs to C partition. But another, it will be much more flexible to edit and something like that. By the way, you do a good job to solve your problems by yourself. Experimenting the problems is a good way to learn.

Thank you !
I think you mean "Android-AppCompat v7" not "Android-Support v7"
BTW when to use support-v4 vs appcompat-v7 ? What's the difference? Should I use both?
The difference is that appcompat-v7 will cover many more support libraries (for example: ActionBar compat). But your minimum version of App will be 7. So I recommend you to use appcompat-v7 than support-v4. Because there're not so many users that still using < v7.
From my experiences after I declare that dependencies, I got android support v4 and android v7. But still the minimum version MUST 7.
Have any questions? Feel free to ask me, I would be glad to help.

Thanks Joshie! So appcompat-v7 it is...
So ActionBar is now provided by Google? So long Sherlock (it's still very nice though! yet I'm happy Google finally implements it too)
Yupz. And also implementation of Google's ActionBarCompat is very easy. So I prefer Google's to Sherlock..
But yeah, Sherlock is a good alternatives when Google has not even been releasing it.

I switched to the Google one, too. However, there is this annoying bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58321
And it does not provide a PreferenceActivity with the ActionBar.
Waiting for the next version...
Yupz.. Wait for the next version... It's quite a small bugs, and they promise will fix it in next release..

Well, if you want to implement multi-selection with it, it won't work.
However, a fixed version can be found here: https://github.com/CyberEagle/SupportLibraryV7AppCompatPatched
I'll use that till they publish the new version.
Starter choice : Eclipse or Android Studio?
Hi,
I'm currently an Enterprise Java developer and want to start building some apps in mobile space. As a new mobile developer, which one should I get start with now; Eclipse or Android Studio?

My Android Manager 0.5.1
Exsiting users: Please upgrade by downloading http://myandroidmanager.com/app/MAM.exe
New Users: Please download full installation http://myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Public Beta Available : http://www.myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Note: There will be issues for tis build so if you want a perfectly stable application, just wait.
Follow my twitter and you might find sneak leaks =)
To those that have been following and installing:
I am still working on an update system people... Bear with me. It will most likely not come until we are out of beta
What it is:
An application meant to automate all of your phone management needs through the use of ADB. If you are are more comfortable with typing out every command and don't need a easier and quicker way to accomplish it, you dont need this app. It's basically a visual adb commander. Instructions will not come until we are on a stable build. If you have not installed the drivers for your phone correctly, this application will not work. Please search the forum for tips on getting your phone recognized. In the early stages, this program will work best if you have already configured adb and have used it. It is recommended that you move adb.exe to windows/system32 in order to execute adb from any directory. Also, be sure to run this program as administrator!! There will be bugs until version hits 1.0 In later stages the application will be integrated with xda to bring you the latest ROMS to make flashing a click of a button.
Beta Process:
The newest versions will always be released to a small test group to test the efficency before being fully released. This ensures that everyone gets a stable and working application. While it sounds like it has its advantages, I do ask that you fully test and take note of changes in your system when bugs do occur. A great beta tester tries to look for errors to make it easier on the developer when tracing the root of the problem. A great beta tester, and a develpers friend =), doesn't just say a certain feature isn't working. THose who are still interested, contact me whichever way you prefer

if you can just make a program for
- Format sd card fat32/ext2/3
i will love you!
Other than that, this sounds really cool and would be very useful! Good luck on it and hope to see it soon especialy with the daily Rom updates hahahaha

i agree
this should all be possible but most likely using the sdsplit method. I will do some testing on some spare sd cards I have
that would be cool. I guess you can make an adb bat script to download and install the sdplit.sh and then run it. That would be possible
EDIT: You should also add a nandroid backup and restore option. There is already a GUI for it but if you integrate it with your program i would use it constantly!
Id say add the linux-swap creation too. Cause it seems to be the future in how we all partition it now. Side request tho, FTP backup/restore option, I know since Im between home and work, I upload everything to my FTP. Now that would be nice to have something automate that work for me so I always have it safe and can access it anywhere.
Thanks for the ideas guys. I plan on implementing them
Added nandroid backup/restore to feature list.
ADB check/install is currently coded and working
Edit: All Done! System enviroment variables will be changed when ADB installed. Note: This will not correct the error of the driver being incorrectly installed. This happens when you dont enable debugging on your android phone and plug it up for the first time.
To fix this, you must delete some registry settings in order for adb to be recognized correctly.
This app will be made of pure win! I can't wait to see it! I know I'm new around here but I will do what I can to help this community as it has also helped me quite a bit with many different phones.
If only we could get this application completed, and a Hero ROM for the Dream, I'm pretty sure I'd drop a nut right here in this thread lol!

New screenshot added and FTP upload/download feature will be added to the list.
Speaking of the FTP, It might be a good idea to allow "Sync with FTP" so this way if your at work, vola it syncs with that folder kinda like a imap server. =)
Must admit, I am very impressed ^_^ Wish I could code as my previous job had positions open for it but its something that doesn't appeal to me, yet I have nothing but great admiration to those who can.
Keep up the good work ^_^

Great idea! Will work it into the project feature list.
This looks like such an awesome program! Good luck!
a suggestion, contact aTrackdog, maybe you can run ties with each other. Since they have good version monitoring, info etc this could tie in possibly. Just a thought. =)

You mean tie this in with android software updates? Def. a possibility. It would make it an all-around android windows application for the Dream..
Tomorrow I will begin android backups and ftp syncing... The hardest will be handling the formatting of SD cards. I have some code (besides sdsplit) that may allow this. I have plenty of backup sd's to test this on
Ok this just looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. I cannot wait to test this out . Good job on this. I have a question though, how does it know when there will be a new version and how would it get the changelog?

a very tricky method and a lot of code that stratefically looks through the XDA web site for changes in the original thread. The installed program will connect to an online database upon startup that checks for updates but the process that actually does the scanning will be on my pc. The application will be replicating the database server. It knows what the old changelog was so any new text will be added to the changelog.
It's a tricky procedure but its been working VERY well in my tests. Of course this wont account for new ROMS that are added so I will have to check periodically for new ROMS. The app will still allow you to flash a ROM you download.
Hopefully once it's up and running, the dev's will get involved. I can give them an app to update the information the application is pulling in. It would be a win win for devs as they can track amount of downloads..
Dude this is going to be soo sick can't wait hopefully every dev will use it
something else that could be implemented into this is a prompt or warning advisory that goes alongside each rom. like if it's a hero rom, it prompts you to make sure you have the correct spl, radio, and whatnot installed first. and if you don't have one installed, it will install the necessary things for you prior to installing the rom so that it will help prevent a brick or something.
yeah... something like that....
Android Customization Suite 1.2.3
This is a program to complement your ROM. It is able to produce a CWM flashable zip with apps your ROM might be missing (T-Mob ones, launchers, utilities, etc). It also has other tools available for you. It can produce an empty flashable zip for you (read more about it here). And now, it has "repositories." Developers can upkeep their own repos with whatever files they wish. Roms, themes, mods, etc.

Instructions
Download. Note: you must have Java installed to run this app
WHILE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Unzip the folder. Please keep it intact. Moving files around in there will probably break the functionality.
Run ACS.jar.
Choose desired apps.
Wiping Dalvik cache is recommended, but it will take you about 5 minutes to boot
Copy flash.zip to your internal sd card
Flash with CWM
Linux users: if you are running Linux I advise you to use the run.sh file to run the program, otherwise it may use your home directory to store files
Mac users: you need to have java 1.6 installed for this to work. i tested this on a friend's mac (running 10.5.8 & java 1.5) and it wasn't working. also i was not able to update her java to 1.6 either. so i'm assuming you need to have snow leopard installed for this to work...
Devs:
Check out this reference guide for more info on setting up a repo list. Feel free to contact me for any clarification. It's really not hard to do it, just have to understand how the app works a little. The guide should give insight and instruction. Contact me to add your repo to the list.

i need everyone to test out 1.2.3. windows/linux/osx, everyone. please test it out trying to download Swype from Jdan's repo. if it does not work, please report back
dude what are you waiting for? sounds like credits will poses your name alot in new devs roms! say cheese!
Sounds awesome, I know a lot of people will find that very useful. Great job so far! My only concern is will you be releasing a new version every time the apps are updated? Or do you intend to have it download the latest versions automatically once you turn it into a client and host the actual files online?

If this happens, it would be extremely easy to update to newer versions. But as the program works right now, it's pretty basic, so yes it would have to be downloaded again.
Also I'm pretty sure I lack the skill to program it to download the files. So like I said. Maybe later

No worries man, that still sounds like a great tool. I honestly wouldn't mind downloading every now and then, I was just curious. I still have to update half the applications on my computer manually, so it doesn't bother me. Thanks for your contribution, it's years beyond anything I could ever pull off, web server or no!

It's looking great!
i know eta's kill the mood but i am hoping this gets out before midnight so i can play with it through the ball drop and have something to be proud of on the first of the year. i wish i knew this program making stuff too. but networking is my personal field of expertise at the moment.

I'm finishing up some things and going to try flashing a test in a bit.
If I can get it to work I will post the initial release later today. Only the Utilities tab and the Mms tab will be working though.
I've gotta figure out which Apks go with what for the actual bloat
i think you forgot to post the download link.

Did not
Like I said, soon as I feel it's ready to be a Beta, I'll start updating it on XDA
is it windows ready? it seems to be a little like an addition to the kitchen...
edit: nvm didnt read properly
birgertime said:
So I'm in the process of creating a little utility that will allow you to choose alllllll the bloat you'll ever want.
It will generate a .zip file that you will flash through CWM.
Couple things I'd like to mention:
It's written in Java, so eventually I will get it working properly on Linux and OS X as well.
The file size of this utility will be a little large as I will have to include every single program with it
I will eventually try and get them to download off the internet to make the utility itself pretty damn tiny, no promises though
I had originally planned to make this an online-kitchen type tool. I don't know nearly enough PHP so I just ended up doing this
This thing is Alpha
I'll probably end up releasing the alpha over at Heathen's site before I put up a beta over here
I'd like to hear your thoughts/suggestions/comments.
(Mods, sorry if this isn't in the right section, I figure this is more related to ROM development than Apps)

Honestly, that wasn't my main intention. I thought it was a good idea for people to add apps they wanted in one swift flash. I'm always looking to have Titanium and maybe a couple other apps.
This just makes it easier and provides most of the apps people want in one place.
But I've read it over and over how (some) people want Avatar, Wifi calling, or AOSP mms, and I've even seen a request at one point for the memo app.
Right now, this is what works:

Gotcha. It is a good idea. It just threw me because of the generally negative connotation of the word "bloat"...

As far as updating goes.... It's not difficult here's an example for you...
http://www.javajazzup.com/issue3/page65.shtml
All you would need would be a host to hold all your files which a simple DropBox account can solve.
As far as the updater goes. What you can do is make a Wrapper that checks for a new file on a server (your new dropbox) if its the same size (in bytes) then continue to load your main .jar, else you tell it to download to the location which should overwrite it or you can delete it prior to the download.
I hope this helps in your java application. Great work and continue the dev
P.S. Feel free to PM for any questions you might have on Java.

Yeah I didn't really doubt I could find it online, just didn't wanna jump in too far right away.
I was actually thinking of hosting like a master file which would contain locations and versions of the files that the client would be able to download and interpret. That's just something that crossed my mind though. I'm going to get this thing working fully offline before I go into anything else.
As far as the web hosting goes, I have some, it says it's "unlimited" but I have a feeling XDA will test that limit if the time comes.
Thanks for offering to help! I may take you up on it.
If anyone knows this, I'd greatly appreciate the help. I need to know which APKs are associated with the following apps (mainly if there's another APK besides the main one):
AllShare
Amazon
Avatar
GoGo
Layar
Kindle
MediaHub

It'd be great if we could use this tool to put our titanium backed up apps and put them in a flashable zip that way we have our apps ready for when we boot a rom.

I have working on a project in the form of an app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have I have yet to get much testing on this device and would like more feedback from users!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

Paid App
Boot Script
ubuntu.sh(V5)
Full Image
This image is 1.5GB to download, once extracted 3.5GB, and include alot of programs like openoffice, thunderbird, firefox and over programs for 'developing' - Also allows you to switch between the LXDE and Gnome desktops, and you can define screen size on boot!
ubuntuV5-image.zip
Lightweight Image - This is yet to be included in an app, will be included in the next release (aka 2.0 ), so get it now before anyone else!
This image is just under 500MB to download, once extracted 2.5GB, and include only programs needed (LXDE desktop, web browser, + other basic programs) also allows you to define screen size on boot
ubuntuV5-sm-image.zip
12.04 images
I have now started work on building new 12.04 images these come in core (just the bear-bones ubuntu) and full (ubuntu with GUI and other programs) and will be updated as 12.04 moves through its milestones (and when I make new updates to the mods I make from the main stream arm port).
These are for testing ONLY until 12.04 reaches stable release.
You can view the images here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/12.04/
I also want to build up a small group of testers who I can email with new images and scripts, these will include all future distros that I do. If you are interested in joining this test group please PM me or send a email to [email protected]
The only requirement is that your willing to test and send feedback along with screen shoots etc where required, it would also be good if your willing to try different roms and kernels for your device!

Thank you very much, you will be pleased the now that 2.0 version of the app with alot of new features will hopefully be released before the end of the weekend (so you bought in time to get the 20% off ). And the large image has no changes (About the only thing that hasn't changed) so you will not have to redownload a large file!
Ubuntu Installer Paid 2.0 Cooked and ready to be tasted
Well tasted by my beta testers anyway...but yes 2.0 for the Paid app is ready! so long as there are no more bugs the new update will be loaded to the market tomorrow.
Note that once the new update is on-line the sale will end, so if you have not already grap your paid copy for 20%!!
The change log for the new version is:
*New V5 small image, featuring fixed Java, even more lightweight (now around 1.2GB free) and user can set screen size on boot
*PAID New Build guide which shows you how to build your own Ubuntu images
*Brand new UI To make the whole thing more useable
*PAID new 'one click boot' feature to allow quick booting from either the widget or inside the app
*PAID new widget to activate the one click boot
*PAID app install guide changed in light of 'one click boot'
*Fixed keyboard mapping of random letters in Gnome
The free version should then be updated by the end of next week and will include the new UI and the new V5 small image and Gnome mapping fix.
Backtrack will then be updated shortly after that to include pretty much everything in the change log above (apart from the small image, there is still no small image for backtrack)
Interesting.
The wait is over, last minute bugs have been stamped out and the new update is live, should be coming to a device near you soon!
If you have bought the paid version check for updates!
I was looking for infos about linux on Xoom and I found this.. very interesting!
Excuse my ignorance... is WINE going to work on Xoom? There can be problems due to arm architecture?

Sadly WINE does not run on ARM, not only is there not a port of WINE itself, windows programs are not designed to run on ARM so there would be all sort of problems.
It could be possible to port stuff but I sadly would not have the time to do so

Oh! It was Chromium. Trying to get it from the market it was saying it couldn't connect. I did an apt-get update and that seemed to have fixed it. If anyone else is trying that by the way.
Pressing the "D" button minimizes all windows and returns to the desktop even when I disabled the shortcut in the keyboard shortcut menu. Know of any way to fix that?

Of course as soon as I go to replicate the bug it's gone. I guess the keyboard shortcut might have finally applied? I had only tested it in Gnome when i was having the problem upon first boot.
But when trying to use the Chromium browser (I love Google Chrome) every page comes up blank. That one I haven't been able to fix.

[SIZE=+1]I suggest reading the entire OP thoroughly from start to finish. I've put a lot of effort and time in to producing this utility and this OP in an attempt to make using OOne ROM Editor as simple as possible and to achieve the best results with OOne ROM Editor.[/SIZE]
Introduction
Because the system partition on these particular devices is only 190 MB, this tool was written to assist with removing unwanted applications, ringtones, and fonts from ICS and JB roms so as to shrink the overall size of the system partition prior to flashing.
A typical installation of any Android 4.0 and newer ROM will only leave a few KB of space remaining on the system partition. This is the reason why the ROMs need to be trimmed.
This tool will only edit ICS and JB ROMs for LG Optimus One family devices. Please refer to the help documentation for complete details and supported devices.
Updated 01/08/2013
New GUI but it is pretty self-explanatory. Various build actions can be accessed by right clicking in the list-view.Features
Remove system apps or even convert them to user apps
LatinIME Keyboard Editor - Create a mini LatinIME.apk from the language dictionaries you choose. JB ROMs only.
User Apps Manager - Manage system apps converted to user apps as well as including apps from your local file system ( hard drive )
Recycle Bin - Restore files accidentally removed from the current build
Remove 'assert' statement from the updater-script. This is for those who are using a recovery that will only allow flashing P500 ROMs. Like CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch
Installation
Just download and unzip to a folder of your choosing and run OOneROMEditor.exe. This tool has no external dependencies.Some things to keep in mind while using OOne ROM Editor
You cannot add system apps to the build ROM. Sorry, that defeats the purpose of this utility.
The major size difference between OOne's ROMs and the source ROMs is OOne does NOT include the "Extras" folder from the source ROM in it's build.
After using the keyboard editor it will place the LatinIME.apk in the apps "Recycle Bin". This is not an error but done on purpose. I use this list, the "Recycle Bin" contents that is, to skip over files in the source ROM that I don't want included in the build. The mini LatinIME.apk will appear in the correct folder, user data or system, in the output ROM.
Steps to obtain the best results from OOne ROM Editor
After choosing the ROM you wish to edit
Select "System Apps" in the treeview control on the left side of the GUI. Remove/delete/move any unwanted apk's at this time. DO NOT delete or remove LatinIME.apk.
Go to the Tools menu and select "LatinIME Keyboard Editor". Choose whatever dictionaries to include in the mini LatinIME and press the 'Apply' button to save the choices. From here, the keyboard editor will remove LatinIME.apk from the "System Apps" list.
Remove any unwanted fonts and ringtones. I usually don't bother.
Add any additional user apps. Select "User Apps" in the treeview on the left side of the GUI then right click in listview control on the right side of the GUI. A popup menu will appear and then choose/select the "Add" command item. A file dialog will appear and you can add as many additional files that you'd like to the user data partition. Note :: The more apps that you add, the longer it will take for the device to boot the first time.
Press F12 or go to the Tools menu and then select the "Build->Build Options" menu item. Set any options and press the "Apply" button.
Now build the trimmed ROM. Press F9 or go to the Tools menu and then select "Build->Build ROM" menu item.

Honestly, I have no clue. I still don't understand why it won't run on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It runs flawlessly on Window 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Any findings would be greatly appreciated tho

This tool will only edit CM10 ROMs for LG Optimus One family devices. Meaning, if the chosen base rom is not a CM10 rom or it's not build for LG-P500, LG-P500h, LG-P505, LG-P506, or LG-P509 devices, then it won't allow you to edit the rom. This was done intentionally, since it seems that our devices are the ones with the small system partition.
I do have future plans for a universal ROM editor however. Also, you can find a slightly better description of the workings of this tool and want not in the 'docs' folder.
Know Issues
This tool has been developed and tested on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. It is a 32 bit tool however. I have a beta tester who tried to run this on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and well, it crashed. So, currently this tool will NOT run on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I'm looking into this issue.
Features
Remove system apps or convert them to user apps
LatinIME Keyboard Editor - Create a mini LatinIME.apk from the language dictionaries you choose
User Apps Manager - Manage system apps converted to user apps as well as including apps from your local filesystem
Recycle Bin - Restore files accidentally removed from the current build
More to come...
Installation
Just download and unzip to a folder of your choosing and run LG-P50X_CM10_ROM_Editor.exe. This tool has no external dependencies.

That's the thing. I had someone test it on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit machine and it wouldn't go past the building of the filelists after choosing a rom. He tried running it as an Administrator and also with UAC turned off and on. Weird.
Thanks for your input

Have you or anyone else tried this on Windows 8? Curious if it runs on it or not. Damn 64 bit systems. It may be time for me to change programming languages, as much as I hate to.
Ok. I see there's been about 100 downloads of this so far. I realize that in most cases no news is good news, however that makes it difficult to improve the software without any feedback. So... if there are any issues or suggestions for this tool, please let me know.
And, I have a few more abilities in the works...
Thanks for the excellent tool,Great idea.
Just one suggestion,while selecting the file to be deleted from media folder only single item can be selected, kindly enable multi select.

Hmmm, multi-select is enabled by default when the control ( ListVIew ) is created. I can assure you that I did not disable it. Is your system set up for one click or two clicks to open files from say, Windows Explorer?
May be, i will try again. thanks for your reply.
It work with paranoid?

Have you seen Microsoft's upgrade price - quite inexpensive, no??!

Sailfish OS’s heritage lies in Nokia times, especially in the MeeGo operating system. Prior to 2011 Nokia and Intel had a vision of an open mobile operating system. Together they invested around 1 billion USD to the project and created an open source based operating system called MeeGo, which was used as a basis for several devices, such as the iconic Nokia N9. Although the Nokia N9 became the beacon of open source operating systems, Nokia decided to end the project and chose instead to continue with Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS. The rest of that is another story.
This ROM for Galaxy Tab 2 is a port of SailfishOS on our beloved device. This is my first ever project on any sort of development and I would appreciate positive criticism. I hope you like it.
Disclaimer ->
You will solely be responsible for any consequences arising out of following this guide. Your device may become permanently unusable or unstable. This guide is for experienced users only that know their way around a typical Linux system. The linked zip contains some proprietary software. All trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners.
Prerequisites for installation ->
1) Rooted P3100. Instruction for rooting can be found in the forum. I have not tried on other models but braver souls may go ahead at their own risk.
2) Latest TWRP recovery for P3100. Can be found in the forum.
2) Official CM 11. Download from official Cyanogenmod website. Check which works for you but must be based on Android 4.4 KitKat.
3) SailfishOS zip file for P3100. Linked below.
4) The knowledge of using either telnet or ssh to access the device. ADB does not work.
5) Patience. The installation will take a lot more time than a regular Android ROM.
Installation ->
1) Copy the Cyanogenmod and the SailfishOS zip to your sdcard.
2) Boot to recovery. Wipe System, Cache, Dalvik Cache and the internal storage. Wiping internal storage is not at all necessary but still recommended.
3) Flash Cyanogenmod zip file.
4) Immediately after the installation of cyanogenmod succeeds, flash the SailfishOS zip file.
5) The installation of SailfishOS will take some time. Reboot to system after the installation succeeds.
Known Bugs ->
1) Videos cannot be played. I'm hoping to fix that in the next update but it will take some time. At least a month.
2) The native browser does not work in the correct orientation. The touchscreen and the display are perpendicular to each other in the browser.
3) Camera does not work. The error is similar to video playback.
4) Bluetooth may work. Has not been properly tested.
5) The Jolla Store cannot be used for downloading applications.
6) Cellular Data and Voice Calling have not been tested but most probably, they will not work. It may work on some devices.
7) GPS will not work.
8) MTP doesn't work. Need to boot to recovery to mount as MTP.
9) USB Keyboards will not work. I can change it but then ONLY USB keyboards will work.
What is Working ->
1) Audio playback.
2) Third party browsers.
3) The Warehouse store can be used for installing apps.
4) Wi-Fi is perfectly working.
To telnet into the device, run " telnet 192.168.2.15 2323 "
the default root password is " nemo " which can be changed from settings.
Instructions for installing Warehouse store for downloading apps ->
Warehouse is the community driven app store for SailfishOS.
It can be downloaded from https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/1/harbour-warehouse-0.3-30.armv7hl.rpm
After Downloading, copy the file to the internal storage via USB from recovery.
then telnet or ssh into the device and execute this
" pkcon install-local /path/to/file "
It can then be used to install apps for the device.

Thanks for trying it. Please report any other bugs you find for future updates. Since the hardware is pretty much the same, you can go ahead. But you will need to change it to look better on the bigger display. Go to this link -> http://piratepad.net/hadk-faq
Go to line number 256 and follow the guide to change pixel ratio.
This is something super exciting and awesome.
I read about it on sailfishos.org. It was cool.
Its videos and reviews were great.
Posts some screen shots of this out of the line OS on our tab.

That is not possible due to licensing issues of alien dalvik. Currently, this is the only way of running Android apps on Sailfish. It may however be possible to have a better system if shashlik is ported to Sailfish.

WoW more things for my old p3100.. Great stuff @adeen-s, hopefully this will reach to bug-free in the near future...
Keep up the good work...
Just a small question(a little off topic).. why is this built upon cm11 when SFOS is supposed to be an os built from scratch (i mean not based on android at all)

SailfishOS is indeed not based on Android. The CM base is needed basically for hardware dependencies since its easier for Android to interact with the hardware on this device.
The Jolla phone and tablet built for SFOS do not require the Android libraries.
Hello,
I tried it on, and works pretty well. But the warehouse can't be installed. It requires some library "libsailfishapp.so.1". Any fix? I'd really like to try media and other apps.
im trying this Rom so i hope i will be good..

sorry for that. Try this " zypper install libsailfishapp " from the local terminal or via ssh. That should do the trick.

It's not meant as a daily driver but you can expect a new version with bugs fixed soon.
