match .apk files to the name in the launcher

If you have the android sdk installed and a handy backup of your /system/app directory with all the .apk files you can run the aapt tool from the platform-tools subdir to extract the name that shows up in the launcher from the .apk file like so:

aapt dump badging whatever.apk | grep '^application:'

The label= parameter will be the launcher human readable label. Very handy to know if you are trying to find which .apk file matches the annoying app you are trying to remove. I'm attaching a text file with the results from extracting this info from all the .apk files in my newly rooted virgin mobile froyo intercept.
