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.

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

In atrix 2 files app you can share almost any file through bluetooth.
Is there a limit on the files?
Is it possible to change it, so you can send any file.
I don't know about the Mototola file manager but I'm sure I've sent apk's over bluetooth before simply by changing the file extension... I think it was OI file manager that I tried it with and I always got errors when the transfer should have started...

Wrong forum, moving to general.
Just recently, on two different PCs, whenever I downlaod an APK from XDA-Developers, they are saved as .zip files (saved as "app.zip" instead of "app.apk"). Downloading from other sites works fine.
Is it something with the forums? or with my PCs?
Can the file be unzipped?

Yes, the file can be unzipped & the contents are what would usually be in an apk file.
I just rename it to "app.apk" & it will work. Its just that it did not happen before, and now, on two PCs whenever I download an APK, I have to rename it first.
Apk in .zip
All APK's are just zip files in a format that Android understands and can un-zip almost like and be installed like a program. So, i think, you need to just change the .zip extension to .apk
The main question was that, previuosly downlaoded APK's from XDA were fine, now, they are saved as .zip. why?

Probably because its not illegal I guess... if you were to upload a paid app as an APK u could get in trouble whereas if its in a .zip file then its not considered an illegal file... if you get me... another possibility is that it just takes up less space hope this helps

I was curious if there is a way to extract a zip file instead of using CWM to flash it, for instance let's say I have a different keyboard that can be flashed through CWM but I don't want to flash it I'd rather just extract files and put them somewhere using root explorer, can this be done? And if so could someone tell me how to do it and where to put the files? Thank you

If you unzip the file to flash, you will notice a file hierarchy in the zip. Follow that hierarchy to the file(s) you want and then use a root explorer to paste the file(s) in the same location. Then reboot and if you pasted everything correctly, it should make that change.

Okay, so what I have are 2 folders in the unzipped file in root explorer, one is labeled META-INF and the other is System. In the system there is an app and a lib folder, the app folder contains apps and the lib contains files with the extension .so, so I'm assuming paste the app files in the system/app folder and the .so files in the system/lib folder, correct? Now the META-INF folder contains files a com folder and three files, CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF. the com folder turns into a Google folder, then an Android folder which contains 2 files, update-binary and update-script. I pretty much have no idea what to do with everything in the META-INF folder. Could you possibly help with that I'd greatly appreciate it.

Ignore the META-INF folder, that is used for the actual flashing procedure. Most apps can be installed without the certificate and manifest.
The app files would go in
Code:
/system/app
The library files (.so) would go in
Code:
/system/lib

Thank you! I'll give it a shot and see how it goes!
So am I just renaming the app.apk file as app.zip then? Then download, extract file, search images, etc. right?
Obviously if the app updates I'm guessing my changes will be overwritten each time?
may be well i donot update my apps.
