Now thats not nice is it?
Sometimes you do have to wait for an answer.please dont expect it straight away. Anyways, i dont know the exact answer but i'll make suggestion. Try to delete it straight away after a soft reset. see if that works. Also,try to delete it using a file explorer like resco or total cammander.
Let us know how u get on
this is so frustrating...first i cant put my music on my phone (still can't) and know i cant delete some simple ****t off of my phone using file explorer wtf...im getting a cliq grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ok. Using resco file explorer,navigate to windows/startmenu/programmes(ensure u set resco to find/view all files)& delete the icon for the game.(assuming it is in your start menu) oh, if its in your game folder,then navigate to that folder and then delete it.

[Q] Extract single application from custom rom

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.

Xperia X10 not recognizing APKs as APKs ?

I was in another thread trying to figure out how to install xRecovery and I'm starting to think that the problem is that my phone isn't recognizing the apks as apks. Has anyone else had this problem? It only recognizes the xRecovery file as a .zip and so I can't use the installer to install it.
Why you don't just use flashtool to root and install xRecovery? That's much easier.
bro why dont you try renaming the .zip to .apk it works!try it!

I was hoping to not have to mess around with something else but I guess I will give flashtool a shot
you can always use Manual method,
just extract and copy these three files (busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) from xrecovery.zip or xrecovery.apk to your Phone/system/bin directory, using root explorer (with r,w, rights)

You had to change to name of the .zip to .apk with a file manager on your phone. Maybe you had a setting turned on on your pc that prevents from displaying file extension.

i tried that and that didn't work. now i'm starting to think something is up with how my computer handles these .zip files though...now i'm trying to download install the .ftf file from this thread and when i put that file directly into the firmware folder in flashtool it doesn't recognize it as a .ftf file (and its listed as a .zip file when i download it)...this is frustrating the bajeezus out of me

what firmware r u
Sent from my SEX10 using XDA App
ya know what, i'm not even sure right now since i've done so much ish to this dang phone in the past day lol i did figure out that i had to change the settings in windows to not hide the extensions of known file types so that i could change the .zip to .apk. Since I had already installed xRecovery I don't know if that would have solved the problem but I'm assuming it would have. Thanks for your help everyone!

I looked through the apk and didn't see this image anywhere. I think they're downloaded remotely, so not built into the apk.

JJ-KwiK said:
I'm thinking the same thing. I also went through the apk and didn't find anything. I haven't had any luck searching in the internal file system, but if it's downloaded remotely, I would expected to find it somewhere. Hmmm...
Anywho, thanks for taking the time to look. I hope I can find it.

It's probably stored in cache, which I don't know how to look through. Good luck!
You can find it in the Nvidia Customization.apk

Hi,
I found it to in NVcustomise, I can extract but impossible overwrite an other background , did someone know the way how to do.
Best regards

Can you upload it somewhere?
Give your mail, I will send you
Regards.
Thanks for sending me the file.
Actually, changing the file is easy, but I'm not sure how we can replace the system NvCustomize.apk after changing it. even if we sign it, it has to be with the original sign key, which I dont believe we have.
Anyone been doing this before?
Edit:
Actually, I did it with XPosed and a custom module that I wrote. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't want to usa a resource from the sdcard/internal storage, it has to be hardcoded in the app. Ill continue to look for a solution.
