Official Broken Apps thread for Froyo

Also try to clear your cache again, my swype would not work until I did this once more. You do not lose any data clearing cache.

Fix for HTC-IME Keyboard

I posted earlier that the HTC-IME keyboard did not work with Froyo. For anyone coming from a Suretype Blackberry, the compact qwerty is exactly what we needed. Anyway, found an updated version which seems to work just fine. There is also the option to theme the version, which looks cool, but haven't tried that yet. Links below. First is actual keyboard with necessary clicker file. Second is link to the themed options.

Moto Droid + FroYo = No Flashlight?!

I've tried just about all of them. Camera flash works fine, but none of the led flashlight apps do. 2.1 and 2.2 specific ones... has anyone found one that works??

Not trying to be an instigator or anything but it does work for me no issues... just made sure... even navigating around I'm ok... (guess I'm lucky)

I know there are issues that manifest on some but not others so it I just wanted to chime in it is working at least on some devices...

I can't find an led flashlight app that works with 2.2... any ideas?

For me I found the web browser to randomly close. not even a force close error... it would just return to the home screen... IMO this is major fail. back to cm

Market is sooooooooooooooo slow.

Still trying to figure out how to install busybox even after reading the previous posts.

Download busybox and place the busybox file where ever you keep your apps before you move them to phone.

Open a command prompt on computer, change directory to where you placed the busybox file and eneter the following commands at the prompt

adb push busybox /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mkdir /system/xbin
cat /data/local/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
busybox --install /system/xbin
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot

If it hangs at the SU command then check phone because you may get a popup from Superuser to allow the command prompt SU rights.

Im lost on this part.. Explain just a bit more please?

BusyBox fix:
This is using Root Explorer.
Using Titanium Backup open the app and click problems, allow it to load a new copy of BusyBox.
Open Root Explorer, go to data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files and copy BusyBox. Now go to System/Bin and making sure you check the r/w button up top paste the BusyBox file here. That's it, Metamorph will now work.

This sucks for me also as I always use this.

I threw it in system/xbin as well. I remember there was always some confusion on whether it should be in bin or xbin.
