[Q] Install 2.2 Voice Recorder app on 2.1?

---

My wife still has Eclair on the Epic and her phone doesn't have Voice Recorder on it. I'm using 2.2 (Nebula 1.0.6) and my phone has a stock Voice Recorder app.

Is there any way to get my Voice Recorder app onto her phone? Would it even run under 2.1? She'd like to use it to record lectures at school and it's by far the best app I've seen for doing so. I've downloaded a LOT of them and nothing seems to beat this one on simplicity and stability.

P.S. This is not the Voice Recorder app in the Android Market.

Okay try this on the Eclair epic. Get launcherpro(just cause this is how i did it), you dont have to use it just go to whatever launcher it normally uses, hit menu>add>shortcut>activities, then scroll down and look for Sound Recorder. Select that and it'll add a shortcut to the homescreen. When you record, it saves the file to the root of the sd card if I remember right. I think this is what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Is her phone rooted and clockworked? If so I could whip up a simple .zip to flash through cwm. Since it's a system app, installing through a file manager won't work. If you're familiar with pushing files through adb you could always copy the app from your phone and push it to hers.

I did manage to get the Sound Recorder working, and its interface for recording is exactly what she needs. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any kind of interface for playback, which leaves her at a loss.

Leatherneck, her phone isn't rooted. I'm sort of keeping it as the control in our little home Android experiment. If she *really* feels like she needs this app, I may just bite the bullet and do it, but I'm hoping that I can just convince her to use something else.

I think my best option is going to be to download one of the crappy free sound recorders on the Market and just cross my fingers for Froyo sometime within my lifetime. Thank you both very much for your help.

Yeah, that's the only flaw. I think the files show up in the music player under a playlist called my recordings.
