Hi lovetide. What kind of compression did you use?
I can't find a way to open it :/

Guys I found another working port of p7zip for android.
I Tried to post a link but becouse i'm a 'noob' here i'm not allowed to.
So you can search for "port2android" at google and you will find it

It's not an archive file, it's an executable file, you can execute it directly. It's static linked, so it should work on most Android phones.

Link does demand to pay for it. Can you upload attachment on the forum?

You have to click the link several times. It will work after some time.
But scroll down... Mirror is attached.

Here version 9.38.1 for arm-v7a, 7za is standalone, 7z needs 7z.so in /system/lib, 7zr a reduced version of 7za, Codecs must be in current dir for rar support (optional)
in the archive I've also added makefile.machine if you want to compile from source (you need to replace the one in the source directory, it needs to be edited for paths)

Thank you very much for this indeed. XDA won't let it download no matter how many times I try, would it be possible for you to post it in a mirror somewhere ?
Edit : Never mind, finally got it. XDA glitch.
Edit 2 : Shoot, this will not run in Android 5 and newer systems... ( Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported. )

---

sorry but I didn't have an arm android 5.x to test it, I'm attaching pie build, I think it should work also on android < 5, but anyway there is still the old attachment in previous post

Hey...
I think the Zarchiver app from the play store would just work.
Hit thanks if I helped you!

Does it support being called via command line, from eg a bash script?
To the rest: did the PIE build work fine?

p7zip 16.02 stand-alone attached.
help needed. anybody know how to set HugeFiles=on? compiling with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE does not give expected result

edit: many thanks to superbeef150 @ XDA for solution!

Does this work on Android 6.0?

Thanks for sharing! I'm able to get this to run on several devices, but for some reason it errors out when running it in TWRP (which is coincidentally where I hope to run it):
Code:
~ # chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/p7zip
~ # /data/local/tmp/p7zip
/sbin/sh: /data/local/tmp/p7zip: not found
~ # sh /data/local/tmp/p7zip
/data/local/tmp/p7zip: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")
Has anyone observed this different behavior between TWRP and the normal OS occur with 7zip or any other terminal/shell/CLI apps?

I got this figured out in case anyone stumbles across this in the future.
The default shell in TWRP (in my case) is at /sbin/sh . From what I've read, it sounds like this is the one that is supplied with BusyBox rather than the normal one. When I ran 7z using /system/bin/sh I had a lot better luck.
I'm now running into issues with larger ISO files. It seems like ones over 2GB are the problematic ones, I can't extract, test, or list contents on them, instead I always get an "E_FAIL" error message.
Googling that in the context of 7z seems to indicate a space issue, but testing and listing contents should make that irrelevant. For the sake of trying I attempted this with the ISOs on an exFAT usb flash drive as well as an NTFS usb hard drive with the same results.
I suspect that the HugeFiles=off setting that @aIecxs mentioned earlier may be related, but unfortunately the only information on the topic I could find were on one of his posts on p7zip's SourceForge forum where someone suggested a few different compile flags that didn't seem to make a difference for him or myself.
If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

maybe compiling on 64-bit machine will support Hugefiles

I'm doing that currently, but unfortunately HugeFiles is still showing up as off :/
