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.

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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

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.

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.

wait wait... what do you wanna do again?
I'm not 100% sure it will work and I won't try it on my phone, but it looks like they have packed it up in a most bizarre fashion.
It looks like you have to unzip the file, remove the src folder, zip up the remaining stuff, probably sign the package, and rename it to .apk. I'm not sure what to do with the src folder- maybe compile it and stuff it back in there?

This is not a ROM, It is only the Deodexed Stock System Folder, for those who wish to make some Custom ROMs or want to edit their Stock System files, but are unable to do that due to .odex files. Here all odex files are removed and classes.dex files are introduced in their .apk. Which helps developers make make ROMs and people to edit and develop things.

The zip contains a system folder. Using a Root Explorer replace your stock System folder with the system folder present inside this zip file. And then reboot your device. By this method you will have a deodex Stock System in your device.

If you want to get this deodexed system into your device then just copy "app" and "framework" folder from this zip file and paste and replace these folders into your system's "system" folder using Root Explorer...
Or you can do one more thing. Download a Custom ROM for Xperia C and then place this system folder (from this thread) into that ROM zip file and flash the ROM...

The only thing you have to do is to copy the "app" and "framework" folder from the zip that you download from this thread and paste them into the "system" folder of your mobile phone (replace the preexisting folder). You can do this using app called Root Explorer

Just open yhe system folder of your mobile using Root Explorer application and there you will find the "app" folder and "framework" folder delete those folders. (DO NOT RESTART YOUR DEVICE AFTER THIS). Then open the zip file that you will download from this thread. In that zip file you will find a folder named system and inside it you will find a folder named "app" and a folder named "framework" copy these folders and place them into your mobile's system using the same Root Explorer file. Now Restart your device.

For some reason some of the APKs do not have all the images in the APK file. I think some of these apps download a whole bunch more stuff after installing T_T. Now I need to find that and see whats up.

Then you can probably find it with a file explorer by app data....
You might need root for this.
I am not sure what i am saying
If you have the apk file you can easily decompress it.
Just rename the apk to zip and open it with winrar.
