So, I decided to do something about the AOSP ROM deficiency of my HTC device and build one of my own. I have the kernel source archive from HTCDev, which as the kernel source .zip and a platform.zip file in it (which further has the 'development' and 'external' directories in it). This is unlike Sony's devices, which are already hosted on GitHub with the required configurations and a very helpful guide to building your own AOSP ROM. For HTC, I am not understanding what goes where. I have followed the Sony guide to the point where I need to download around 10GB of source code, that unpacks into

I recently had the same issue on the HTC One M7 once updated to Lollipop. I pulled some JARs and APKs from the phone and decompiled them to found that they are not using the ConsumerIrManager like every device is doing since Android 4.4. Worst, they rolled back and use the same libraries they were using before 4.4. In my case, I rolled back my

I'm having problems with intent URIs on a particular device, so I tried the CommonsWare URLHandler sample as suggested here: Launching my app using the intent URI , and the intent URI hyperlink on its sample page also fails to invoke the application. The sample declares its intent-filter like this: <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.commonsware.android.MY_ACTION" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> </intent-filter> And the hyperlink in the sample web page is: <a href="intent:#Intent;action=com
