/home/user/.apkenv/pvz-test.apk/com.popcap.pvz_na/files/
/home/user/.apkenv/pvz-test.apk/com.popcap.pvz/files/
/home/user/.apkenv/pvz-test.apk/files/
/home/user/.apkenv/pvz-test.apk/
after the last / all the folders contained:
music, userdata, video, AssetInfo.indicate, Downloaded.indicate, Downloaded2.indicate, PvZ.dz.
Am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: We can just dump the whole thing if I got too annoying
you might need to unpack PvZ.dz

you can always donate on my N64 thread, but i cannot guarantee that this'll ever be usable...
i've made some progress though, i've hooked a few methods in the dalvikvm to be more flexible, i've even been able to use the android package parser to get information out of an apk file, and i've been able initiate the launch process of an activity (ActivityThread, performActivityLaunch...) the next thing i need to fiddle with is surfaceflinger to get a window which the activity can render into
EDIT: binder is very annoying, don't know what i should do with that. i found some android sources: https://android.googlesource.com/ker...taging/android
EDIT: does anyone know where i can find the exact sources nitroid alpha 4 for n9 is based on?

this just happened (java code trying to load a library):
Trying to load lib /home/user/apkenv/libdstfree.so 0x3b99b718
linker/linker.c:716| WARNING: `/home/user/apkenv/libdstfree.so` is not a prelinked library
0 mapped library 'libdstfree.so' to 40d15000 via kernel allocator.
Added shared lib /home/user/apkenv/libdstfree.so 0x3b99b718
but it's still crashing shortly afterwards
, but there is at least a little bit of hope

liar, NITDroid is based on patched-AOSP sources i think. Maybe you may ask e-yes aka drunkdebugger here, in NITDroid forums or via twitter for tecnical information.

i fear for now there is no way around binder. so either we have to stick with openmode or inception to get this going until we have some sort of userspace replacement for binder.
i've been able to "insmod" an adapted version of binder and it seems like it might work but i am still experimenting

with that it should be possible to launch zygote & system server and ultimatively launch activities without too much effort i think
EDIT: the kernel module seems to be working fine. but i couldn't figure out why system-server is crashing

The only other problem I see is that Android accesses /dev/fbX directly (similar for input events, etc..), whereas if we run it inside Harmattan, we probably want to redirect everything into a window. There's some work in this direction in the ParallelDroid project, maybe some things can be re-used from there.

EDIT: i've been able to patch up surfaceflinger such that instead of accessing the hardware a X11 window is created and it uses that together with egl to draw to the screen
but the binder module fails, so i'm probably gonna try the nitdroid kernel next
