[Q] How to rar to apk - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, im new to smartphone, how can i convert files from .rar to .apk?
if this question has been asked before just send me the link, i did tried to search and i did not find similar request.
Thanks

A "rar" file is a compressed archive, like a ZIP file.
www.rarlabs.com to download the program.

I open it with winrar and i cannot find any .apk file on it, i only see some meta-inf folder and .dex .xml and .arsc file.
any advice from experts?
thanks

See the tutorials link in my sig.

i do it this way !! u can either do it thru any file managers thru ur phone ( which is always better) or thru ur system.
just change the .rar /.zip to .apk
eg:- angrybirds.rar to angrybirds.apk !! simple!!

Just copy the *.cab file (containing 3 files) to your XDA and run it from there. (double click on the *.cab file while using the explorer of the XDA)

please guest could you tell me how to get the sms message up
please email me at [email protected]
- Unpack the compressed file on your PC (if you have a ".zip" file), you should end-up with a file with a ".cab" extension.
- Now transfer this file to your device with ActiveSync, don't worry about the directorie, just put it on the device.
- Now, on your device, find the ".cab" file using the file explorer.
- Double click the ".cab" file, it should install itself.
- After this you can delete the ".cab" file but don't be surprized if it is allready gone, that is normal.
Now it should work!
I emailed you the file + the instructions

Extract *.apk?

If I have a *.apk that I download, is there anyway to backup/extract it?
The apk is really just a ZIP file. Try renaming the file to whatever.apk.zip and open using your favorite ZIP utility. You should be able to view all the contents. Resources (such as images) can be extracted. The java code is compiled into a .dex file so you can't view the raw code, but there are utilities (like this one) to decompile it: http://dedexer.sourceforge.net/

Right but how do I find the *.apk if I am downloading it off of the market?
apps are located in data/app/
There are also various apps in the market that will backup apps.
I use appmonster incedently.
7zip can extract and view contents of an apk without renaming.
backup and reinstalling apps....
view the first link in my signature.
I used MyBackup Pro to do a backup of my apps onto the sd card, then I used ASTRO file manager to navigate to /sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/AllAppsBackups where I found the file LastBackupApps.zip. I then used androzip or something similar to unzip that file and it contained the apk for every one of the apps I backed up.

I have a zip file with .apk.p files in it which are exracted with package_extract_file in the updater script. Is there a way to manually extract these, since renaming to .zip doesn't help if I open them with any unzipper program?
Thanks

I believe the files you are referring to - the files ending in ".p" - are "patch" files. They only appear in the OTA download .zip file, and they are worthless to you. They are not complete files, but just enough data to patch the corresponding 1.5 app .apk so that it turns into the 2.1 version.
If you want the complete .apk files which they correspond to, just download the Leak-V3 .zip file, extract the "system.img" file, and then unpack that file using the "unyaffs" utility (search for it, you'll find it at code.Google.com).

Thanks for the info. I thought I can update the apk files manually, because from recovery it doesn't work (it is a rooted image, so signature not accepted) and there are some fixes in the new update that I wanted to give a chance.

Extract wallpapers

Hello,
someone knows if it possible (and how) extract Wallpapers from the firmware downloaded with NaviFirm?
Thanks
I haven't explored the sync features in Zune yet - are you sure you can't get them through that??
Otherwise, .esco files can be opened like a normal zip. Look for the big .esco firmware file (around ~370MB) and extract the .img file from it. If you can read the contents of the .img file, I reckon you could get them...
THanks Tj,
no works...I found the big .esco, extracted the boot.img...and that file is "empty"...no Winzip no winrar no Dtools can how what's inside it...I wanna extract a carrier's wallpaper... :/

How to extract files from ROM

Hi,
As the new ICS 4.0.3 seems to have gotten rid of the libraries required for call recording, I am willing to extract the relevant libraries from a 2.3.6 ROM, replace and give it a shot. I already have a few of them with me, for example Official DXKL3.
I need to extract the following 3 files -
system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so
system/lib/libaudioflinger.so
system/lib/libaudio.so
How can I extract these files from a ROM?
On you pc or on you phone click extract here. And will be exctracted about 6 files. Navigate to system app and find wht app you want. Copy and replace. I guess I understood right what you mean.
Get a utility program like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar on your PC & open up the zip/tarfile & you can see the individual files & extract same.
However...
What you're attempting to do will not work. Different framework.
Points for thinking outside the box tho.
Thanks... Though when I use 7z, it only extracts zImage,factoryfs, etc., only a handful of files. I cannot see the individual files in the file system. Also 7z cannot extract these files anymore...
Ahh I think I was talking about already "cooked" ROM, and you guys are talking about the source? Sorry I am very new to the terminologies used. If that is the case I will check if I can find these files in the source tarball.
Try another program if 7Zip doesn't work. Try IZarc. I can see every file in the roms I have with it.

---> Question Extracting APKs <--- Pls look

So I know how to extract APKs with APK manager.
However, I want to know, when you extract APKs, where are the images of the APK located?
In which folder when you extract the APK files, are the images?
- It used to be easier back in the day, you would extract and all the images would just be there.
to get images folder you dont need to use apktool/manager.. use 7zip.. then extract. you get res folder .. all images in there... you find which one you to replace and rename to it, drag n drop to corresponding folder ur renamed one after opening apk in 7zip... no need to sign apk or whatver

Yes, but not all the images are there.. Where are the rest of the images?

Most of the images should be there but if not you will have to either go through all of the lies to find them or you can search for them.
