Does anyone know if there is a equivalent for code? I'm working with some people on a Froyo port to the Archos 5 IT, which, although it ships with Android, doesn't have the home, menu, and back buttons so we've had to implement them in the status bar. In order to do this we've needed some code changes to frameworks/base, so it would be great if someone could point me at a method of doing a vendor overlay for the java sources (and yes, I've tried including the code in the overlay file, and unfortunately it doesn't work).
