Shows nothing on Xperia S #1

Despite the app works perfect on HTC Hero 2.2, it is absolutely nonfunctional on Sony Xperia S 4.03

I have the same behavior on Xperia Z and after a bit of investigation found that it's a problem with the theme / skin. The AndroidManifest.xml file that is obtained from each package is not the intended one but rather an injected one from the applied skin package.

With some experimentation I managed to make it work properly - it involves using the openXmlResourceParser(int cookie, String filename) and using cookie = 0, 1, ... to access the multiple AndroidManifest.xml entries that exist on the packageContext. Once we find one that is indeed for package=... then that's the one where the receivers can be found.

I'm not sure if the tool is still being maintained, but wanted anyway to leave this tip.
