he is saying that he buys in to the tech blogs (which have huge reputations for spreading many false or spun rumors) that gingerbread (or 3.0) will be so amazing that nothing done previously will compare and everyone will need to start developing mods based on this new version from scratch. Also that companies that have spent millions on there "us" will drop them completely even though they have promoted them as part of there brand and have many people who really like them.

Personally i don't see it happening a lot of the same hype came while waiting for froyo. I wouldn't call it on the level of the "GODS" compared to 2.1. I personally remove as much of sense as possible from roms as is so for me it would just make my job easier however i dont see it happening logically speaking.
[EVO 4G General] JinxDroid:
You can rest assured that HTC will continue to put Sense on their phones - even after Gingerbread, Honeycomb, etc...

They just completely revamped Sense (Desire HD).

Blur, Touchwiz... I don't know - but I would put money on HTC Sense still being there in the future. I don't have a link but I thought that I read somewhere that HTC has already said as much.
[EVO 4G General] twilk73:
Google stated its coming up with something state of the art that will make sense obsoleet. However, when HTC pushes its 3.0 Android's out the door it will have some sort of sense no doubt. Also try to read and understand what google is writing. They are saying current launchers/sense is obsoleet and that it wont be necessary for gingerbread. They arnt saying futur launchers wont come out and improve on what they are building. The article I read clearly can be missleading if you are just skimming through it but if you actually take the time to read it you will see the words they use discribe only current launchers and sense being not needed.

Oh and my wifes HERO has 2.2 thanks to CM6 :) It works just as well as the Evo version but its performance settings seriously need to remain untouched unless you are willing to do several test because things like JIT can actually slow that phoen down.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It depends on how you look at it. If you go by the rumors, Gingerbread isn't going to add/improve on the current API/functionality of Android if at all. Instead it'll be a major upgrade to the UI/UX. Up until now we've seen minor/gradual improvements, this release I believe, we'll be a major visual step.

So even though it'll internally be very similar to Froyo, the UI we'll be different enough for us to be wowed and feel like we're using something completely new.
[EVO 4G General] beatblaster:
Kinda funny you bring this up cause I just read another thread in Q/A where some guy was asking for 2.1 roms cause he didn't like 2.2 so he wanted to go back. Interesting reading day so far....
[EVO 4G General] mikeDCMDVA:
Sense is horrible I'm about to get rid of myns warm twopointtwo rom to rid sense from my evo, good rom though but just cant stand sense

BUT what i do like about sense is how you can open the phone and start typing the letters with the dialpad and retrieving contacts on the fly...can non sense do this?
[EVO 4G General] afflikt3d:
First of all... what? Half of that first sentance made no sense lol.

Secondly... dialer one. Try it. Its awesome.
[EVO 4G General] beatblaster:
This first sentence made sense to me. He likes myn's Warm TwoPointTwo ROM but doesn't like Sense. Also, +1 on Dialer One if you must have tap-search contacts in your dialer as well sir. This has got me wondering....... mike, have you tried to remove Sense from Warm? Try Omega's script here:

OmegaSun's remove Sense script

You should be able to remove Sense from Warm with this script which will allow you to get rid of Sense yet keep your Sense dialer. The best of both worlds. Give that a shot.

ehhhhhhhhhh! wrong.

[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Has it been confirmed that the Evo will upgraded to Gingerbread? Being in range of the specs does not directly mean it will.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
even if it doesn't get an official release, I'm pretty sure cyanogen or the other devs will make it work ;)
[EVO 4G General] timkdodson:
I guess it depends on what gingerbread offers, I haven't even heard of what features it will have other than that it will be optimized for tablets, right?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
All rumors point to a UI/UX overhaul. Some also say tablet support, but others say that wont come until the update after that (honeycomb).
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Well, if 3.0 looks anything like Google TV's UI does, there won't been to be any reason to have sense on top of it - unless sense gets a huge boost and looks like it does on WP7. :)
[EVO 4G General] igotsthemagicinme:
if you had read earlier in the thread, i had long since concluded that there is every chance there will be sense, but FOR THE SAKE OF THE THREAD, was curious as to whether or not anyone would stick to eclair/froyo for the sake of sense, if we were assuming sense was NOT to be updated.

i personally believe that google is sick of the makeovers, as are most users, and will in fact kick sense out. one can only hope. ok, one more time:

the year is 3091, and android 3.0 has officially dropped. people hault their flying cars and land their jetpacks to stare in awe. no. sense. what do you do? join, yes, the ranks of the GODS, or stick to a lower iteration of android because sense is as sexy as your grandmother naked and posing for hustler.

bad analogy, i know.

[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
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!
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
lamppu is a good LED torch. You need root to use it, look in market
[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
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?
[Legend General] XtremeHTM:
Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
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..
[Legend General] robto:
Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.
[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
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!
[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
Anyone to help?????
[Legend General] leopard106:
try the kitchen method.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
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:

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.
[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
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!
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
You will have to use the kitchen do deodex the files.. Search the entire forum for "Chefs Central"
[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
I tried the "de-odexing" method of the Android Kitchen, but it didnt seem to be working fine. Error message of "There is a problem prasing the package." ???
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
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.

Swyped from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] omar.elhelw:
I havent tried deodexing the whole rom actually. I will certainly do this and try.

I have another question to you though, from where can i get Swype? lol
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Search, I might post the link when I'm home. Swype HVGA

Swyped from my HTC Legend

[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
From the Droid X results and benchmark it seems that Froyo did not do to the Droid X as it did for all the phones that are running snapdragons.

Some people are saying that it's because the JIT was made to run on a snapdragon.

So what is up with the benchmarks? Are we not going to see our CPU speeds increase 3 to 5 folds? Is anyone else curious about this topic?

http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/
[Captivate General] nephets0:
i went from linpack for max 9.6 with oc kernal on 2.1 plus voodoo lag fix to 13.9 on froyo, no lag fix etc. so i say its faster.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
Yeah, but how do we score in the 40s and 60s? I hope our ROM authors do a better job than Samsung has.

The Droid X hasn't even been optimized yet, for some reason 2.2 isn't doing what it did to the Nexus one for Droid X and Galaxy.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Voice Search is pretty sweet: "text jenny hey what's up?"... bam, done. :D

Flash support is neat for certain websites.

Auto-updating apps...

There is alot to froyo than just a speed improvement (although we wish it was more of a speed improvement...)
[Captivate General] hobolooter:
With JI6(Froyo), OCLF(Lagfix), and rooted I'm pretty much as happy as I can be until cyanogenmod comes out.

I know benchmarks are useless, but the quadrant score I got more than doubled the stock 2.1 score at around 1900.

I haven't played around enough yet to notice any bugs, but nothing significant has jumped out at me. USB tethering and Mobile AP both work.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
NO issues here...I don;t use synthetic benchmarks wither in ,my PC builds or on these devices. I go strictly by real word applications. In that regard the user experience shell and speed is better on all counts. GPS showed me 10 Sats today. I never could see more than 6-8 on the best day.

The user interface is 10X better..........
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
Haha oh yeah, I really want to find out if the Leak (Beta) update is really worth it, just seriously might wait for the actual update. I read in the thread that some people were reporting a CPU clock of 400 Mhz, and just bugs, which "should" be fixed by the actual update
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
I was really hoping that our CPUs would boost 3 to 5 times as much.

The snapdragons with 2.2 have unbelievable to near incredible results. Their CPU benchmarks have more than triples in most cases.

I'm just really trying to get to the bottom of why the Hummingbird and OMAP seem to lack this potential.
[Captivate General] tysj:
Well it's still just a leak. Hopefully the full Froyo update will roll out at the end of October. A post on the Androidforums has me thinking that end of October is when it will be released.

Regarding the Samsung Dock:

And from looking around for the dock, I found two sites that have it for pre-order with estimated availability towards the end of October.
[Captivate General] dalingrin:
As a former Nexus one owner, I can honestly say that the froyo benchmarks are in no way indicative of real world performance. My linpack went from 7 to 40 and I saw exactly zero speed up in real world daily use. There very few fringe apps that see any increase, mainly games and only a select few of those.
[Captivate General] erezak:
I had another experience. The performance boost FroYo gave me in Nexus One was very noticeable in "real world" situation.

However, I do fail to see that ratio on Captivate.

Linpack score: 14.031
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Froyo be damned, the improvements in the Samsung version of it make it more than worth it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vivek4all:
hi Guys,

I have installed Android 2.2 froyo and had dual boot so that i can use both WM and Android but i had issues with wifi and issues with incoming & receiving calls.

have you guys running android smoothly on ur LEO?

I personally like android very much than WM but dint want to mess up so reinstalled WM.

guys any suggestion which android version runs smoothly on LEO or is it better to wait for an updated version?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2joel:
The darkstone builds seem to be the most stable for me. There is a desier sp? Build that was updated I belive 9/29 that has htc sence. And also a hd2 froyo build that's older I belive last up dated 8/18 I think. But its stock android 2.2, and the build I'm using now and have been for probly close to a month and its rock solid. Compass is wacky which sucks for apps like layer that need it. And I belive blue tooth may be wacky as well but I haven't tested it myself. But go darkstone and if your using the stock tmobile win mo roll back to the 2.10 build, the new 2.12 build will give you a crazy robot voice on phone calls. Good luck do lots of reading any posible problem you could have run into has been discused on here some where so just look around

I was taking a quick look at the leds in the G2.

When i look at the jogball-backlight in regards to the trackpad light, I am unable to change the color. It retains the following value.

# cat color

color : invalid length
​

I tried to echo "0 255 255" into that, and still see the same message when I cat it. Any ideas?

Also, I can cat 255 into the brightness with no effect. I see the value when I cat brightness, but the light is still off. Looks like you have to trigger it? When sleeping the display and forcing the notification light, the brightness gets set back to 0 after it's flash.

Also the jogball-backlight directory contains:

- uevent

l- subsystem

l- devices

- power/wakeup

- brightness

- max_brightness

- trigger

- color​

Also, check this out.

[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
You tried this after soft root, correct?

Hahhahha my mistake nevermind...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mortal300:
Where is the trackball light? Is it next to the earpiece like every other LED light on most HTC phones?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
It has a touchpad light like the nexus and a battery notify light next the speaker. Currently, the trackpad flashing during an incoming call and the led light by the earpiece flashes during low battery or solid while charging. No flashing anything for notifications such as messages/email/ or reminders which sucks obviously. No apps change this currently without root. I guess this was the concern and the color obviously.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Master Loon:
Tweetdeck makes the led flash when new post appear
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kienz:
When I have a new text message, with Chomp, the trackpad flashes intermittently as long as it goes unchecked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Well that's good news I look a bit harder for 3rd party apps that can make notifications without root and see. Plus, there is a trackpad light app that requires root but let's you change colors and it creates notifications for email/sms/mms/ and reminders.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oldsk00lz:
Have you tried that application yet? Would be interesting to see if it works as the directory structure looks different than what I read about the nexus 1. I was wondering if the 'invalid number' for color was due to no color being available, or just something that we couldn't read/set.

The notification in the earpiece looks to be amber/green versus RGB.

-oldsk00lz
[G2 and Desire Z General] phesone:
The notification in the earpiece also goes red when battery is low along with amber and green so I think its RGB. I miss that led being used for notifications like on the G1. The trackpad glows slowly for notifications and seems to be only if the screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oldsk00lz:
If you go to /sys/class/leds you will only see amber and green. On my G1 I see red, green, blue. I think the amber is actually used for the red. I think it would be hard to having any blue colors without a blue led setting.

-oldsk00lz
[G2 and Desire Z General] bbbblack:
Im assuming none of you guys seen the other two ligths located at the top left of the device on the face? if im not mistaken if you hold it up to the light it shows a purple square bulb below and a blue one above. is the blue one for blutooth? and is the other thing the proximity sensor?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sunofnothing:
I'm pretty sure both of the other "bulbs" you see are actually both the proximity sensor, on my vibrant there were 3 things, one was the ambient light sensor and the other 2 were the proximity sensors. I guess its an emitter and reciever.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdimagio5:
Hey, I just got the G2 and I am also gravely missing the LED notifications from the G1. I installed handcent, and have gotten the trackpad outline to blink, but the blinking is so infrequent and limited to white. There must be a way to toggle the charging indicator LED's. I've tried the app "Blinker" with no satisfaction. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
not getting the notifications on gmail, or handcent or anything. This is a deal-breaker for me. I may steal my nexus back from my wife and leave her with the G2 if one of you smart guys cant figure this out!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
That's because the trackpad does the notifications. Not the other lights nor will they ever work for notifications... get the apps that add reminders and you'll be fine. Quit crying...
[G2 and Desire Z General] bbbblack:
Lmao @ quit crying ! But really.. Am I the only one who likes the fact that I can see when I have a notification while my phone is charging? I think it was a good idea though to seperate them. Any dittos?
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
What is this reminder you are talking about? I don't see any reminder in the sdk. Also, I would be on board with finding alternate apps that use this reminder instead if the Gmail app used it. No notification on gmail blows, I'm sorry!

Also, I heard chomp shows the led notification, but I tried it out and it doesn't how about being a little more constructive and offering alternatives.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
No its not a built in option. Nor would it be in the sdk... there a few third party apps that add the ability. Here's what I use: gmail notifier/ sms notifier/ and calendar notifier. They are all free and available in the market. They work very well and make up for lack of traditional led. The trackball flashes too only in white and fades on and off slowly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
Thanks! This will have to do for now.

Edit: back to crying... color doesn't work. boooo
[G2 and Desire Z General] grivad:
When the N1 came out, all we had was white notifications from the trackball. It took some time but devs eventually figured out how to get diverse colored notifications from the trackball, and from the charge LED.

Relax and be patient, surely the G2 will follow the same path. It just came out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
I can certainly wait, just trying to decide if I'm gonna use my nexus in the meantime, my wife certainly seems attached lol. When nexus first came out I didn't care about the notifications because it was SOOOOOO much better than my G1 but I could take or leave the G2 compared to the nexus.
