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.

It's in the /cache directory in main memory. I was able to copy it using ES File explorer. Be aware that it contains binary difference files that can only be used to upgrade from DI18. It doesn't contain the full ROM.

If your absolutely positive that you only need to delete 2 files within the .tar (although I dont see why this would be) I can help you. Right click the .tar file, extract it, delete the two files that you are talking about, re-select all the files that need to go back into a tar, right click, and create archive. Be sure that the archive you create is .tar format.
Use the program 7zip if you don't already have a similar program
Remember, Its very possible that this "fix" your mentioning could lead to a major problem.
Only take action if you know exactly what you are doing. I take no responsibility for your phone being bricked
Still no joy with getting my S4 to boot please someone must know how to get it to boot again iv tried everything i know how to do. Maybe a dev can help me i would be very grateful
Unpacking the tar on windows then recreating it will mess up the permissions stored inside. Rather, use the tar command. If you're on windows, then install cygwin.
Take a look on the tar manual (look for the --delete option, paragraph 4.2.5)

Cygwin is an Unix-like environment inside windows. It maps windows paths to Unix paths. By default, your path would map to /cygdrive/c/Users/shane/Desktop/987

I was wondering if anyone has been able to pull the partition files for kitkat? I ask because I've seen people get their phone stuck in fastboot mode and being able to flash the proper image files will help fix their probs, however the only image files I know of are for JB. I would do it myself if I knew how....

even though that should work for getting stock partitions it doesn't give them to you in .img except for the system/userdata&cache partitions so you would only be able to fastboot flash those three partitions, all other partitions are in .bin format and unless there is a way to convert them to .img(I haven't found a working method yet) than they won't work

never actually tried, but it could work(if bender says it does than it should) somebody would just need to test that theory with all the partitions, but it still doesn't allow me to explore the persist.bin renamed to .img(that contains the rct check I want to do some test with it)

So I was able to pull all the partitions for the Verizon variant (VS980). They are currently in in .bin format. Not sure if I should change them to .img tho. Haven't tested any of the files yet so on looking to see if anyone is brave enough to try lol.

Using the tool mentioned earlier you can get the system into a .img, so that you an tinker with it/I already tried with the persist.bin and rename to persist.img worked but I haven't tested anything else since I've been working on other things, otherwise anything you need to know let me know and I can test on my side

just downloading the rom...will report
so here are some info:
it ocme sin a package of 1.3GB in form of exe file (Engineering Software Download Tool QCT_SP) . It unpacks to temp and contains another exe (among other files) which can be opened in 7zip and includes all partitions in form of .img files. But if i try to decompress it, it got some errors (unexpected end of file) in some img files (system, persist...).
And as I am flasher, I flash the firmware to my device right away.
It ended on 52% with error, so i unpluged my device, rebooted it and all works well so far.
I will make root and do TWRP bakcup.
panasonic name for firmware: EB-90S55EWLv1009
Android: 5.0.2
dialer: 5.1.3.3.0039.0
camera: 5.1.11.0152.0
-also includes alternative launcher (see screenshots).
-Its dual sim firmware.
-all other things look same as stock, havent seen any new settings entry so far.

All useful info. Thanks. You may wish to check the md5sum if you can find it as that's what usually causes me to get unexpected end of file errors. If your browser has the file cached then using a download manager or another browser will get around that. Where did you find the rom? I can check if it gives me the same errors on Linux. System and Boot would be the two most important but I wouldn't expect it to run when it error's at 52% on system.

Thank you. Requests for the rom were in posts 3, 6 and 8.
I did do a search however all I found were reviews on the device. I did have "4g" in my search string as well though.
I'll see how it extracts for me.
i downloaded it twice, extracted circa 10 times. All appear to be good ,but in the flash process it give error and also i cant extract the system.img file. But boot.img i extracted without problems. will post my md5sum in a while in this post.

By "stockish" do you mean it has the lag like ours did or it's fast like the i806 rom?
FYI the linux p7zip extractor can't undo the .exe file...I'll pull it up into 7zip on my windows machine.

Maybe the percentage fail within the upgrade app is just an bug, because all works so far well.. I made a build with arde OC kernel, just for testing purposes. I tried to flash it several time, login into google, tried googple play store, wifi, calling, sms..all seems to work.
i played with it for about 4 hours and it feels like sthe original stock rom(yes with the lags..i think. Its hard to compare for me becaus ei havent touched stock idol3 since 6 months )..i have found no extras in the firmware.
And i also uploaded the panasonic kernel to my google drive kernel folder.
