How to install 'non-apk' apps in adroid!?

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.

[Q] Converting Zip to MD5

How do I convert roms into an md5 file I can use to flash via odin? Everytime I download rom i get a zip folder with meta, system and updates folders as well as a few other files but no md5 file ????
You can't convert a zip file to an md5. One is a container and the other is a checksum. Try Mobile Odin or install from zip via CWM
md5 is hash to verify content.. if u don't have it .. create it ..

I cant install with CWN as I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4g, the only way to flash this phone is with odin. Does anybody know when someone will convert any roms to use with on this phone yet?? Feels like I have been waiting on a release for ever and dont know how to convert the zip to md5 myself.
.....and using odin mobile requires root ....the reason why i am trying to flash a custom rom to begin with is to get root in the first place?!

another Question,
how i can get S5360_XXKK6_OXXKK2_XXKK5 or S5360XXKK6_REV05 as CWM ZIP ROM ?
It's easy! f you have Windows...
All you have to do is rename the file. Right Click > Rename, then change the file extension to zip. Delete md5 and type zip. Now you can open it by .zip
You can do the same with he .img files that's in the new zip. Want to change it back? Do the opposite.
Hope it helped, hit a :good: for me please! I'm kind of new. Thanks.

Like i said, change the extension to .zip and unzip the contents in your new zip file from your md5.
I backed up my stock rom from twrp recovery mode. Now i cant restore it.
Is there any way i can install the stock rom again
What
Of course you can guys its a bit of a hassle but you convert the .zip to a .tar download the tar converter tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad I forgot where I got it from but search it its here then run the batch with that converted tar wholla .tar.md5 file just used it for a modem
ok so then if im using odin how am i sopposed to flash it because in order to flash a stock rom or any rom i need to to be in md5 or tar so if its zipped how should i do it
You can do so
You can convert to tar from zip via 7-zip there is vedio about it on YouTube
