Is it possible to convert in any way, to make an app that requires 2.2 work on 2.1?
I mean edit the apk in some way?

APPS from 2.2 AOSP to 2.1 AOSP

Hi, got a little question..
just want to know if you can use standard apps from 2.2.1 (like camera, and messages)
to include then in 2.1 rom?
like take the libcameraservice.so etc. and the apk from /system/app and replace them with
the ones from a 2.2.1 ROM
could it work?
thx
Not sure it will.. Often the camera is annoying at this point.. Why don't just flash a 2.2-rom? Then you will be able to use more of the "new" android functions as the push-messages/chrome-to-phone things?

[REQUEST] Need the default Radio app

Hi! I am currently using an unofficial port of CM7 on my O1. I downloaded from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
However, the radio app in this ROM is not pretty good, it won't scan channels and the quality is bad as well. While fiddling with Titanium Backup, I deleted the default app!
I was trying to find the default radio app but couldn't find it. Can someone please help me with installation of the default radio app for O1? I would like to go for the original radio that came with 2.2 since that was perfect for me.
Guys please help me!!
It will not work on CM7. Extract it from the CM7 build.
OK. Well, can you tell me or guide me to some threads which can tell me how to go about it? Or is there any other app that I can use to tune into local radio? Please help me with this.
Download the build that you've flashed and open it with winrar or winzip. Navigate in it to apps and search for the radio app. I think it is called FM.apk. After this, push it via ADB or copy it with root explorer to /system/app.
Don't forget to change permissions.
P.S: also copy FM.odex and change permissions.

Thanks for the info badeaioan. But can you please direct me to any posts which can guide me regarding pushing files using adb? I tried using Ghost Commander but couldn't get it to copy files into the /system/app folder since it is giving me a -Read-only File System error. Can I use Terminal Emulator? If yes, how??? I am not a developer that's why I am asking so many questions.
Froyo FM Radio app needed
I'm with the same problem, I had 2.2 Froyo on my O1, and today upgraded to Cyanogenmod 7 port, Gingerbread 2.3.3 witch came with an FM radio app tha does not suit my needs, incluing turnig bluetooth on without needing it...
I'm no debveloper either so I would like some instructions in changing radio app.
Thanks
Same problem here

I do not understand what these instruction are for. Wouldn't the procedure reinstall the rom radio app we do not like? It is too late, am I missing anything? If so, sorry

Hey guys. Copy the file to /system/app/ with the root explorer change the permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot.
Working on 2.2 with devoid.franco.
Try it and leave your comment.
2.2 Radio app wont work with CM7, Radio app "hacked" by Mik has some problems, if you cant live with CM7 radio app, then I suggest for you to go back to any 2.2.x ROM.
Previous instructions were just for reinstalling CM7 radio app
EDIT: Try this one, see if you like it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071312

I +1 somanshmittal.
I love the FM radioapp by from LG. Is there any way to work it in CM7.2 !
yes please
The Radio on froyo 2.2 was indeed much better than Cyanogen Mod7.2 . It had 12 channels, as opposed to 6 channels. and auto scan as well. Can someone suggest me how to get a better Radio App than the one on CM7 ?
You would have to buy spirit fm unlocked else try to hack on your own. There is no way yet to make it work. Also as mentioned previously on this forum fm and Bluetooth are on same chip. So turning on one will start the other

Since FM & BT are on same chip (H/W), whichever rom u use, it turns on both, only the BT icon is not enabled in default FM

[help] Getting gingerbread camera onto ICS

I am trying to get the gingerbread camera onto ICS, tried different methods, uninstall the stock ICS cam, restore the old cam from gingerbread through nandroid and so on.
Still the old cam from gingerbread will not show up.
I do not currently have the gingerbread camera APK, but all in the my old nandroids backups.
I am extraction from nandroid with titanium backup, but where does the files then?
-After extraction from nandroid, does it placed somewhere without installing? Cus i thought it always did..
maybe someone else have the old apk? share?
Maybe someone did the magic with APKTOOLS already?
I'm sorry but this is not possible.. just replacing apks won't work.. it needs porting and I don't think that someone will do it..
If I get this right..you want to extract an application with titanium backup? Titanium backups the app and it's only possible to restore it..not extract it..
Although you can extract the nandroid backup itself. Search in Google for unyaffs and you will find the program. It's easy to use. You just drag the system.img(or data) and it extracts it..

Thanks, i was actually sitting looking at unyaffs when u posted.
And i fond this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26839030
I will try
Can you pls share the gingerbread camera app
I also need to port the gingerbread camera app. Can you pls share it
I don't think this is possible, even if you manage to port the apk to GB (which is no easy task), it won't help you at all, image quality isn't defined by the camera apk, it's defined by libs and porting libs is REALLY hard because there are no sources.
