HOW TO PORT XPERIA LOLIPOP SMALL APPS TO CM12

Hi
I made this guide that will help you to mod your ROM for support fully Small Apps from Xperia Z3 5.0.2 (Include taskswitcher plugin mod). Works only for CM12 and Maybe Cm12.1.

I know that it is to port very Hard and some users doenst port it easily therefore we will use original Z3 Systemui(Hardest progress) for it. But dont worry!!!
I will release it for all LP Devices too.

Small Apps Z3 5.0.2 is latest version of Sony, it bring us features like:

-Small Apps support.
-Favorite list (Called taskswitcher plugin view) of small apps and "floatings" widgets on 'Recents Apps' (Taskswitcher).
-Widget floating window supported. (Like if converted homescreen widgets to small apps).
-Multiple windows by default from Z3,
-Latest features of small apps ported from Xperia Z3 with Android 5.0.2 version.
-And much more to find.

Before flashing this Mod please make a BACKUP

Requiements
-own framework.jar
-own framework-res.apk
-own android.policy.jar
-Z3 Lolipop Systemui


Lets Start

Decompile framework-res.apk
And open AndroidManifest.xml(framework-res.apk/AndroidManifest.xml)
Find this line "<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CONFIRM_FULL_BACK UP"/>"
and Paste those lines above this line

<permission android:name="com.sony.smallapp.permission.CONTROL _SMALLAPP" android:protectionLevel="system|signature"/>
<permission android:description= @String/permdesc_smallapp" android:label= @String/permlab_smallapp" android:name="com.sony.smallapp.permission.SMALLAP P" android:protectionLevel="dangerous"/>
<permission android:description= @String/permdesc_taskSwitcherPluginView" android:label= @String/permlab_taskSwitcherPluginView" android:name="com.sonymobile.permission.TASK_SWITC HER_PLUGIN_VIEW" android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem"/>
<permission android:name="com.sonymobile.permission.ACCESS_BEA CON_MANAGER" androidrotectionLevel="system|signature" />

Like this marked in red lines:

<permission android:label= @String/permlab_serialPort" android:name="android.permission.SERIAL_PORT" android:protectionLevel="system|signature" android:description= @String/permdesc_serialPort" />
<permission android:label= @String/permlab_accessContentProvidersExternally" android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_CONTENT_PR OVIDERS_EXTERNALLY" android:protectionLevel="signature" android:description= @String/permdesc_accessContentProvidersExternally" />

<permission android:label= @String/permlab_smallapp" android:name="com.sony.smallapp.permission.SMALLAP P" android:protectionLevel="dangerous" android:description= @String/permdesc_smallapp" />
<permission android:label= @String/permlab_taskSwitcherPluginView" android:name="com.sonymobile.permission.TASK_SWITC HER_PLUGIN_VIEW" android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem" android:description= @String/permdesc_taskSwitcherPluginView" />
<permission android:name="com.sonymobile.permission.ACCESS_BEA CON_MANAGER" android:protectionLevel="system|signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CONFIRM_FULL_BACK UP" />
<application android:label= @String/android_system_label" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_android" android:allowClearUserData="false" android:hasCode="false" android:persistent="true" android:process="system" android:backupAgent="com.android.server.SystemBack upAgent" android:killAfterRestore="false" android:supportsRtl="true">
