Hey everyone, first post here, I just downloaded SLide to Unlock for my shadow, but its only a lnk file? How do Install this? I am really looking for the .cab file I have been digging for awhile and I cant seem to find the right zip file anywhere, getting a little frustrated. I had to turn off the lock because to have to hit it everytime a text comes in or anything is a bit of an annoyance.
Thanks for the help everyone.

hey,
I wanted to extract "Torch" application from "Azure" Rom and few other applications. as Torch is the only working app which did really enable the LED for HTC Legend.
I actually opened the ZIP package to path \azure-1.0.1.zip\system\app where the applications are stored, every app comes in APK and OBEX files. I extracted few APKS, non of them worked.
I am seeking some help for extracting the application from the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
lamppu is a good LED torch. You need root to use it, look in market

I have looked in market, but it doesnt seem to exist there. However, do you know anyway to extract the application as working APK file?
Any other LED torches that works with LEGEND?
*EDIT: well, I found it, its named Lamppu. but anyway it didnt work, although my phone is rooted! why is that?
Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)

If you find a ROM that has both .apx and .odex in the app-folder you will not get it to work by only extracting the .apk file.. You need both of the files in order to include them in another ROM..
Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.

I already tried using Lamppu, but it didnt work on my rooted phone!
Have any idea what might be the reason?

That makes sense...but who would I merge the .apk and .obex together to be in one .apk file so I can install it?
Or maybe you know some way I can install these files?
Help would be really appreciated.

You mean like after loading the custom ROM, I backup the application I want then restore them after I load the custom I want?!
This is just long process of backing up your data then load custom rom, then back to the old rom, then root then restore...
I thought there might be easier and shorter ways?!
Any help would be appreciated. Gracias!
Anyone to help?????
try the kitchen method.
Scout around in the .zip to find the package you want, copy the .apk to your ADB directory and then, with the phone plugged in:
Code:
adb install [I]path-to-package[/I].apk

To be honest you've answered your own question. What you've done is the easiest way to pull an app from a ROM. So if your issue is something else it may be an idea to re-write your question (again, I know. Sorry).
I also apologise for mis-interpreting your question the first time 'round. I hope my help in this post is better.

Your help so much appreciated mate!
Well, the last conclusion I got to is, the .apk and .obex files are actually one file but they were divided to 2 files just to make them work better, so if you take the .apk file only it wont work as it will be missing the other .obex file.
Anyway, I am also guessing there is a way to merge the 2 files back, I read a little about "de-odex" but I couldnt really get the best help I could get. I will post the solution once I get to it.
Thanks again for your help mate!

I know it's a pain, but de-odexing the whole rom might help. Unless you already did this, in which case something is wrong with your download I imagine.

Hi. I'm new here and i don't know if i'm posting this in the right place. I got the motorola milestone and got this app called scruff, when someone message you on there it plays a beautiful notification sound and i really want that sound as my main notification sound. i tried root explorer but i couldn't find the sound as a file.
Can you point me to the right direction? i'm sure theres has to be in somewhere but i don't know where exactly. If someone coulp help me i'd really aprecciate it!
Thanks in advance!!!
The required files are attached. You will have to convert them to ogg format and push it into /system/media/audio/notifications or create the same file structure ( media/audio/notifications ) on the sdcard and copy them there.
Thank you soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
=)
forgive me if this is obvious to everyone but me, but i am trying to locate an APK on my tablet and for the life of me i cant find it. I have a game deal or no deal uk that i downloaded from somewhere, it is now no longer available online cos of copyright issues. i want to share it with my friends but cant find the file to give them. I have downloaded root explorer, es file explorer, been into evey folder it comes up with and cant find the bloody thing... can anybody give me any advice where it may be hiding. Could it be another type of file .. swf or something that i am not seeing.. the words deal or no deal appear nowhere in my system tree that i can see.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi guys, I am a OP 5T user. I found out while watching a review that OP introduced a new "meet" notification sound in their latest flagship.
Since I wasn't able to find it anywhere, can anyone of you guys please upload it here or help me find it?
Thanks
Idk how to open it atm. These used to not be stored in .bin format. Technically, you could prolly put it in a magisk module and maybe that way, get it put in system to play? Alternatively, if you know how I can locate it better or so, I can do that too.
(Uploaded with .zip extension. Just delete .zip)
Unfortunately I can't make it work, even changing file extension (tried .mp3 and .ogg)

I tried too. Is there different area the media is stored in? I'll see if I can find more info. But I pulled this directly off my phone.

You know what. I feel dumb. I searched, but I searched poorly. I also thought they were here: /system/media/audio/
I was wrong. I searched, and found it's in a different location. I EVEN HAD FILE MANAGER SEARCH MEET and it only came up with that file. Ugh. Here you go. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This time, change .zip to .ogg and you'll be good to go.
