Best bet, write a shell script, then just run it whenever you like. If you use Gscript you can run it with a button click or you could also have it run at boot... or simply from the command line.
"I don't know how" is only an excuse to learn more, not do nothing...
oh nice. thanks. I'll look into Gscript.

Hey, i have downloaded an aplication for android to my pc, it's winrar archive. I have some files and folders like META-INF, classes, resources etc. I know that those files are files from apk but i dont know how to convert rar to apk. I cant just change file name after dot, from rar to apk. Please help me.
Well I know it might be a dumb suggestion but did you open the
.rar to see if the .apk is inside?

My PC see apk an rar files, so it's not it.
Well you should be able to just change the file name to xxxxx.apk. You should download 7zip and associate .apk with that instead of winrar. But you might have to change the file name in properties instead of maybe just right clicking and rename.

I fixed problem on my own, but thanks for helping guys.
Make sure that on your computer, you have 'See Hidden File Extensions' in your folders option. You can then rename it and you can change the type.

How did you fix it.

APKs are just ZIP files. Extract the files from the RAR, archive them as ZIP and then just rename to ".apk". I know this because this is how I theme.

I just downloaded this archive one more time and when "save as" window appeared i changed the line under name from "winrar archive" to "all files" and I added one more ".apk" to the name.
Exclareçendo
What did the friend is trying to report, and looking for solutions is as follows: I have the .apk Extracted ... Shaped Pasta ... and want to convert it in APK ... I open the folder and select the files and send pro Winrar, compact for RAR, and RAR to rename the .apk. However when trying to install, the packet error ... Not simply rename .rar to .apk

Anyone else have this issue?
Latest vegan
Using original 16 gig micro sd from my droid.
Fat32
I loaded a video from my laptop ubuntu 10.10 into root of sd.
Test playback on ubuntu from sd.
Safely remove drive.
Power off gtab
Insert sd
Power on gtab
Video shows up and plays on gtab with doubletwist.
(video was converted to mp4 via arista transcoder galaxy tab preset)
Power off gtab
power back on
Video is gone.
Even videos in a bunch of nested folders on the sd I did not try to play (.mov vids) are gone. The folders and other non video files are still there.
Should I not be using sdcard2 at all?
Any issues with usb flash?
Thanks

place an empty file named ".nomedia" in any directory on the sdcard that you have video files. They won't be deleted

.nomedia fix
I created a new folder. Nomedia onto root of sdcard2 using iFileManager.
Didn't work. Files with subfolders (videos) still missing.
In fact, this sdcard2 reports it is empty. Like all space is free minus the folders.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

During the brief period of time I used vegan tab I had this same issue and was able to resolve it by making a folder called .nomedia and putting the videos in there but I was then required to manually specify to my video app what folder the videos were in.
I dont remember if I tried making the .nomedia file in the video folder or not so that might work as well but I do know for sure that any video in the .nomedia folder will not get deleted.

I don't know how to make it any clearer than that.
There are a number of ways to create an empty .nomedia file.
1. Create a new text file with some name and then rename it to .nomedia.
2. Run this command inside a Terminal Emulator window:
Code:
gTablet$ [B]touch /mnt/sdcard/SOME/DIR/.nomedia[/B]
3. Or, this one:
Code:
gTablet$ [B]> /mnt/sdcard/SOME/DIR/.nomedia[/B]
4. Or, this one using adb:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell touch /mnt/sdcard/SOME/DIR/.nomedia[/B]

Hi,
I often dowload apps that come in a zip, and once unzipped are not in apk format.
For example, after being unzipped will usually include the following:
android manifest.xml
classes.dex
resources.arsc
a 'Meta-INF' folder
a 'res' folder
and a 'lib' folder
Was wondering how to get these packages installed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Those are usually things you have to flash through recovery (install zip option), or install through MetaMorph if they're themes.
Hi,
just saw, you were faster.
have the same problem, in my case a *. sis file.
I don´t really know what to do with those files.
Regards
NetJay
Was a game I downloaded if that helps any1 understand.

This folders are the typical folders found in an apk file. Actually, all you have to do in this case is to just rename the .zip file to .apk without unzipping it and it should work. I do that when my apk files that I downloaded comes out as .zip. It works for me all the time.

While they commonly will give you an .apk file, sometimes especially if you download it from your android device directly, it downloads as a .zip file. In that case you will have to rename it.

You mean except the apk file you have a folder and inside some files?
If that's the case than those files are game data that is usually modified to work with that apk..
So you install apk(game) and then copy the folder either to Android/data, to root of your internal sd card or in some other folder.The folder depends on the game developer and most of them put the game data folder to Android/data.
If you get the .apk+.obb files than you install apk and copy the obb files to your Android/obb folder..
You'll figure it out..

apk files are actually zips, you can open and change them with winrar, winzip or 7zip...
that's why renaming worked.
here's what I did.
I don't have a computer. I changed apk to zip and unzipped it. Then I used Axel xml/editor viewer to change things. Then saved it and compressed file to zip then changed to apk. I tried using Zip Signer from app store. I still get the same parsing error when I click app to install.
What do I do to fix it ? apk editor pro works and installs the modded app but won't load the modded app to change things again so I don't want to use that.
Anyone have an answer ?
Try this process, instead. It works famously for me.
First, copy the .apk to a safe place just in case!
1. Extract your .apk to a folder.
2. Edit what you want.
3. Open up your original .apk in an archive manager (7zip, WinRAR).
4. Navigate to the directory where your edited files will go while in the archive manager.
5. Drag-and-drop your edited files into the archiver window which has the .apk open. Click "OK" if it asks if you're sure.
6. Close that window, ADB push it to /[wherever], and install.
Done! :good:

I said I don't have a computer. I can't do that.
I read the problem is the apk is lot aligned. Can I run commands in a Terminal Emulator on my phone ?
1. Compress back to zip. 2 sign zip. 3 change to apk. 4 zipalign apk.
How do I zipalign ? I tried spme things I read for commands but don't know if I'm doing it right.

For reading all the xml files I use Axel (XML Editor / Viewer)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...aystore&pcampaignid=APPU_pzkdVL_aBcmONsKggsgE
You have to click open as on xml and choose axel then click Save As... save it somewhere with the same name as the file name as it is.
then copy the saved file into the folder of where you got it from and overwrite it. Make sure name is same. Now open the saved xml again in Axel ans now you can modify it, then click Save before exiting it.
For changing other things like button images I haven't done that.
I changed what app says inside and what some buttons says. The Strings.XML file is where buttons are or some other things
there's one called APK Editor Pro but it only lets you change app one time. It won't load modified one.
Here, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...aystore&pcampaignid=APPU_pzkdVL_aBcmONsKggsgE
is anyone able to tell me how to fix it ? How to get the apk aligned not using a computer ?
