Hi guys, it looks like Huawei disables the option of sharing .apk files? Correct me if I'm wrong. Any others files types (.Mp3, jpg, mov, etc...) I can simply press n hold, then there is the option "share" pop up in the file manager. Is there a way to get around this?
Rename apk to zip,share it and rename it back lol

Can somone upload the standard android 2.0 music.apk file? The one that comes with the damage control rom is the HTC music app, which is just slow and annoying to use. I would much prefer the standard android music 2.0 or 2.1 apk file if anyone could upload it.
Thanks
Got this from DarchVanilla
thanks a bunch. I'm just curious, how did you manage to get the music file out of his installer? Did you like open it via rar or or something?

No problem. I just opened the update zip with winrar and went to the system/app folder and pulled it out.

extract it, check out the folders in the assets folder edit the ones that need changed. Drop them back into the original apk and push back to your phone.
Thanks S Dot, I'm gonna work on it now.

change the extension .apk to .zip and unzip it. keep in mind you have to sign that zip before you change it back to apk when you closed it up. just use photoshop or anything to edit the pics.

i use a mac, and i use the app called BetterZip. you can drag and drop .apk's into it and it will show you the contents. from there you can extract (drag and drop) what you would like and then simple add them back in (drag and drop). after youre happy with what youve modded you can then save the apk directly and proceed to adb push it to your phone. no "signing" required. very simple.
whatever you do, DO NOT rename the .apk to .zip and try to edit it, etc, etc. it will not work. maybe thats when you need to "sign" it or whatever. but using BetterZip there is none of that required. it can directly read and write the apk and requires nothing special.
another tip is if you are using photoshop to edit the images you should "save for web & devices" it makes much more optimized/smaller files

That is similar to windows but we use a different program. I would recommend doing the above also. Very easy that way.
I got it pushed over and it shows in my manage aplications, but im getting force closes every 5 seconds and it hasnt opened at all. any ideas?
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

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.

I just downloaded es file manager lite version then went to system/media/audio/notifications and copied one of the files to the music folder I now have a copy of one of those sounds. I don't no if that's what you mean or not but it did duplicate it. Oh. By no means do claim to know what I am doing so go into those folders at your own risk.
