Hello all,
I come with an interesting problem. I have a large directory of 7zip archives. There are about 2000 of them. I can't seem to find an un archiving app that will extract all archives within a directory. Does anyone know if such an app or a way to do it with a terminal emulator on a rooted android device exists?

Hi,
Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310287 I created a dump directory for a WM6 image. Inside the SYS directories are a number of subdirectories. Some of these subdirectories have familiar names (e.g. calendar.exe). Using calendar.exe as an example, there are 5 files: imageinfo.bin, imageinfo.txt, S000, S001, and S002. Here are my questions:
1. What are these 5 files?
2. What tool would I use to put the folder together to create a single executable?
Sorry for the noob questions but I can't find the answer on the forums!!
OK, after trying out all of the tools in one of the bundles, I found the answer to the second question:
2. Within someone's kitchen tools (I don't remember which one I downloaded) was a file called recmod.exe. Run it with the folder as a parameter and it will put the exe together.
I still don't have the answer as to what those 5 files are though.
My terms may be off base but I'll try to explain what these files are as I understand it (and hopefully not look stupid in the meantime as I'm also trying to explain it in layman's terms).
Many core files are constructed like this so that they are optimized in the Rom to make them run more efficiently on our devices.
Hello, I own an HTC Evo 4G and recently have purchased an application and downloaded it. When I located it within my Android phone I noticed it was under the extension .ipa which as I have come to find out is for Apple. Can someone inform me as to what is going on. I just wanted to pull the APK off my phone. I know how to do that, but why is it an IPA file? This also makes me question, how am I running a .ipa file?
Also, I used phsorx APK batch location and renaming tool. I copied the whole directory out from under my Android drive and it didn't locate and APK with a file name similar to that of what I was looking for.
Bottomline:
Where is the APK and how can I find it? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I have never seen an .ipa file on my device. I think you have mistaken, maybe you have downloaded that file earlier or something like that.

Generally system apps are in /system/app/ and user apps in /data/app/. Apps installed to sdcard (using Froyo implementation) are hidden/encrypted and they're mounted to /mnt/asec* or something like that. You could check exact locations by executing "pm list packages -f" command on a device (terminal emulator) or "adb shell pm list packages -f" on a PC with SDK installed.
Awesome. Thanks Brut.All. Great APK tool by the way. I guess you're right. Somehow I must have just placed a .ipa file on my phone. My kudos to you.
Hi:
I've recently started to develop my own comic reader. The problem I've come up with is cbr files, which are esentially rar files. Now I know there are comic readers out there (all of them, I think) that support cbr files. So there is a way of doing this, I just can't find how.
In the rarlabs official page (search google rar addons and it's the first page) there are several options. I would like to know if I download the commandline arm unrar how I could install it on Android (I have a motorola Xoom, it would be for Honeycomb), assuming that is correct.
If this is not an option is there a command line unrar application that I could call from my own? and How would the code be (to call an external application, that is)?
If the above is not possible, what is the way to get to unrar something in android?
The only real option I've seen would be to use junrar (hosted on github)
But it seems complicated and I'm not sure it works very well as I've seen a lot of conflicting reports.
Thanks for any help!
Try http://www.all-freeware.com/results/rar/for/android to unpack rar on Android.
Success,
Senax
Hi:
I'm not exactly sure what you wanted me to try. There is nothing in that page that would allow me to uncompress a rar file on android. Only a bunch of unrar utitilities and some android things but they are not related, that is, there is nothing that says unrar that also works on android.
thanks anyway.
Unrar
great app available here: androidzoom (dot) com/android_applications/tools/unrar_dhpu.html

Hi:
It's seems that I didn't make myself clear.
I want to develop an android application that needs to unrar files. Is there a way to call the unrar application from my own code?
If so, can you tell me how?
Otherwise, I appreciate the effort, but I can't use that.
Thank you very much!
You can bring the unrar binary along in the /asset of your app,
on first launch copy it to your apps /file directory, chmod +x it, and use exec("sh") to unrar the files from shell.
oh, I see. I think I get the the idea but I don't understand all the instructions.
What did you mean by importing thebinary on my asset?
If I do the step above why do I need to copy the binary on first launch?
Don't I need root privileges too chmod it? And how do I do it from my source code?
And finally where can I find the command line use of the application? Or is it the same as the Linux version?
I know there are a lot of questions, but please keep in mind that I'm very new at doing this.
Thanks for all the help!
You need to put it as asset to bring it along.
You need to copy it because asset files are not directly accessable.
You don't need root to chmod the file in your own directory.
You do it by using a shell from your code i.e. Process.exec("sh")
And finally you want to program the app not me,
so don't be lazy and invest some time.
Google google google google...
If there are still questions left after that, you may ask again .
Ok, I'll try it and get back to you!
Thanks!
Sorry for my lazyness, but I've been Googling for a good half hour without finding a simple 'unrar' binary executable compiled to run from terminal on rooted ARMx32 device. I don't want bloated GUI APK's or libraries for development implementation, but just the plain command line interface executable. Anyone, please? It's a pity they haven't baked it into Busybox as an applet, IMO.
Hey guys,
I bought a Macbook awhile back to use for school (I've got a custom Windows desktop for everything else don't worry!)
Anyways, I'm taking a photoshop class and I want to do some themeing on this machine. I was wondering if anyone of you knew of a program that I can use that will allow me to fully explore a ROM like 7zip can on Windows. I have tried a couple of different programs like Keka and Betterzip, but they don't allow me to explore the .zip like I need to. All I get out of them is an extraction, and all I get out of the extraction is the META-INF and system folder.
Also, if anyone knows if there is a proper way to decompile with a Mac? I am using the Android Utility program found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623
If there is a better way, I would love to know.
Any help at all would help! Thanks!
You can use B1 Free Archiver for Mac, it's absolutely free and with it you can explore all the files contained in archives without unpacking them. Good luck!

Did u try "The Unarchiver". Its open source too.
I use Bluestacks 0.9.11.4119 . I Install android applications and games, from root folder (i.e. device/android/data/data) i copy all the folders to windows directory (i.e. publicfolder/pictures), now many of the apps or games have two type of similar files and i need to see what's inside of the files,
1st.- .so files and database files
2nd.- some of the files have no extension so if i open it on notepad then it comes in Alphanumeric symbolic format,i think its encrypted so i am not able to see even i have tried many language decrypter but failed
3rd.- how to dissemble the apk file and how to modify it.
4th.- how to read XML file of android apps, when i open it on notepad or Microsoft XML it shows error.
I want to learn something so please help me with these issues, and thank you for previous help
To edit any apk is necessary Apktool. Look this guide and try edit:

In addition to apktool (thanks, @kaiodduarte), you're also going to need a good text editor (I use Notepad++), an archive manager (like 7zip or WinRAR), and the ZipSigner app for your device.

It will help you with actually being able to make edits to text files without screwing up all of the line endings and encoding.
