Have Thunderbolt users been able to get RAR files to download properly to where you can unzip them? Does "Download All Files" work with Android for performing the unzip?
i heard androzip on the market does rar files and when i checked it out on market it said it does but i never used it

I have been using UNRAR Pro because it supports encrypted RAR files.
unrar pro is amazing for this thats for sure
if you want a little project to try, you could compile 7zip for android and run it via the terminal emulator on the phone. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
The guys that make winrar do make a version for arm chips, but after trying it out, I don't think it's compatiable with the cpu we have. Oddly enough, it also doesn't have a .exe extension on it, so I am unsure what it's exactly for really as far as targeted OS. They also stopped making it after version 3.xx, so I assume it might have been for symbian phones.
Thanks all
Yes AndroZip works.

Since an .EXE file is a Windows x86 program, it's pretty well impossible for you to run it on an ARM processor device. That's why the .exe can't be opened. What other kinds of files are you seeing this with?
Okay, I've got what are probably really stupid questions. I'm trying to install Flash on my new Nexus 10. I'm brand-new to tablets, as you'll probably be able to tell from the following questions:
I downloaded the ZIP file on my computer, transferred it to Dropbox, and then put that archive in my SD.
But I can't figure out how to INSTALL it.
I just can't figure out what to do next. I've installed a thing called APK Installer and it doesn't seem to recognize that there's a program to install even after I've unzipped it IN the folder where the APK installer is.
I see no .exe anywhere in any of the folders in the archive.
Yes, I've turned on the ability to install from Unknown Sources.
What am I missing here?
THANKS for the help!
There is no flash version for devices whit Android +4.0 Your tablet runs 4.3 so no suport.

I think amazon will fix it i think

Any .apk will do? .apk is just the extension that apps are in, essentially your asking how to install an app to your android phone.
Just open the play store and download is the most common way, you can side load with adb, if you have an app on SD you can use a file explorer to open it then choose install (must have unknown sources checked)
I guess you may want to be a bit more specific for further help

You're taking it a bit far with adb there don't u think?
It's too much for his brain to process, slowly ease into it.

simply saying it is an extension like .exe on windows programmes or .jar on java apps just like that android apps have .apk

yup, got it.
Thanks for your time.
I've downloaded several android apps and when extracted the file is an .exe (windows) file instead. This is more common than I like. I download my apps from my usenetserver.
What, if anything, can I do with these .exe files to get them installed on my android device?

These files usually come compressed in zip format, as well.

You've downloaded the apk from a warez site (of course), right!?

From Usenetserver. Via NewsLeecher.
Here is one of the links I'm trying to download and install today. It has an exe extension where I expect an apk.
