    decompile framework-res.apk

    goto res/values/strings.xml and add these lines a the end 



    Code:
     <string name="permlab_externalTaskSwitcher">Start as an external task switcher</string>
        <string name="permdesc_externalTaskSwitcher">Allows the application to be an external task switcher replacing the native task switcher</string>
        <string name="permlab_smallapp">Small application overlay</string>
        <string name="permdesc_smallapp">Allows running movable small applications on top of other applications.</string>


    open AndroidManifest.xml

    and add the following lines 
    Code:
     <permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" android:label="@string/permlab_systemAlertWindow" android:description="@string/permdesc_systemAlertWindow" android:protectionLevel="dangerous" android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.SYSTEM_TOOLS" />
    and 
    Code:
     <permission android:name="com.sony.smallapp.permission.SMALLAPP" android:label="@string/permlab_smallapp" android:description="@string/permdesc_smallapp" android:protectionLevel="dangerous" />

    like this shown in the pic..





    done recompile the framework-res.apk

    2-STEP

    decompile android.policy.jar 

    and open com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager.smal

    and add the red marked lines 

    Code:
    .field static final RECENT_APPS_BEHAVIOR_DISMISS_AND_SWITCH:I = 0x3
    
    .field static final RECENT_APPS_BEHAVIOR_EXIT_TOUCH_MODE_AND_SHOW:I = 0x1
    
    .field static final RECENT_APPS_BEHAVIOR_SHOW_OR_DISMISS:I = 0x0
    
    .field static final SHOW_PROCESSES_ON_ALT_MENU:Z = false
    
    .field static final SHOW_STARTING_ANIMATIONS:Z = true   ----------------------add this line if u dont have
    
    .field static final SMALLAPP_LAYER:I = 0x3
    
    .field public static final SYSTEM_DIALOG_REASON_ASSIST:Ljava/lang/String; = "assist"
    
    .field public static final SYSTEM_DIALOG_REASON_GLOBAL_ACTIONS:Ljava/lang/String; = "globalactions"
    
    .field public static final SYSTEM_DIALOG_REASON_HOME_KEY:Ljava/lang/String; = "homekey"
    
    .field public static final SYSTEM_DIALOG_REASON_KEY:Ljava/lang/String; = "reason"
    
    .field public static final SYSTEM_DIALOG_REASON_RECENT_APPS:Ljava/lang/String; = "recentapps"

    and find these lines in the same file.

    Code:
    .method public checkAddPermission(Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;)I
        .locals 4
        .parameter "attrs"
    
        .prologue

        const/16 v3, 0x7d0
    
        if-lt v1, v3, :cond_0

        .line 1614
        const-string v0, "android.permission.INTERNAL_SYSTEM_WINDOW"
    
        .line 1616
        :goto_1
        :sswitch_0
        if-eqz v0, :cond_0
    
        .line 1617
        iget-object v3, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;
    
        invoke-virtual {v3, v0}, Landroid/content/Context;->checkCallingOrSelfPermission(Ljava/lang/String;)I
    
        move-result v3
    
        if-eqz v3, :cond_0
    
        .line 1619
        const/4 v2, -0x8
    
        goto :goto_0
    
        .line 1611
        :sswitch_1
        const-string v0, "android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"
    
        .line 1612
        goto :goto_1
    
        .line 1595
        nop
    
        :sswitch_data_0
        .sparse-switch
            0x7d2 -> :sswitch_1
            0x7d3 -> :sswitch_1
            0x7d5 -> :sswitch_0
            0x7d6 -> :sswitch_1
            0x7d7 -> :sswitch_1
            0x7da -> :sswitch_1
            0x7db -> :sswitch_0
            0x7dd -> :sswitch_0
            0x7e7 -> :sswitch_0
        .end sparse-switch
    .end method

    no is the funny part replace all the above blue marked lines with the below red marked lines

    Code:
    .method public checkAddPermission(Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;)I
        .locals 4

            0xbb6 -> :sswitch_2
        .end sparse-switch
    .end method

    save it..done now recompile the android.policy.jar


    3-STEP

    decompile framework.jar

    add the whole sony folder (provided in the resources.zip attached below ) in classout/com 

    and recompile framework.jar

    4-STEP

    now u need to add some files in system/app
    system/etc
    system/framework

    all the files are provided in resources.zip so just take them and add those files in ur flashable zip

    5-STEP

    once u flash the mod .u need an Slauncher or Small app launcher app to launch the small apps...download it from google play

    so its done enjoy the smalls on cm based roms..

    This is the screenshots from galaxy SL Running CM10 xperia themed..


    some more SS of more small apps



    ROM THREAD LINK with working small apps using this tutorial..
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1862705

    This method is tested working on most xperia devices and GALAXY SL and also on CM9 , CM10 , PA , PACMAN


    Also tested working CM10.1



    Here is a video from CM10.1



    might also work on Stock based FW but not tested
