You need a file manager capable of decompressing RARs, like AndroZIP:

Sorry, you can't unzip a rar file, just unrar it. You can however unzip a zip file.

Ok this is a silly question but I downloaded and unzipped a font file for the Vibrant using file explorer. I extracted the fonts but don't know where they go to use them on my phone.
What folder do I need to put them in?

Have you tried flip font?

Some fonts need to be flashed with metamorph in their zip form

Whenever I download a rar file, it just shows up as a .bin on both the notification bar and in root explorer. Is there a setting I need to change to allow rar files tobe downloaded?

There's no reason why you would need to, usually just changing the extension works for me.
*note* there has to be something in front of the .bin for it to work in a lot of cases "randomname.bin" for example

You shouldn't even have to change the extension. I use unrar pro, point to the file using estrongs file explorer and it extracts the contents.

When I go to mediafire or zippyshare to download files with bytetorn it always downloads as .txt files. Does anyone know why? Or how I can fix it. Thanks in advance!

Use opera browser.
I always use FireFox for my downloading. Had several problems where opera wants downloading files just getting html files.
If you didn't know this then you can just rename the .txt file to what ever ext that it should be. So if you were downloading an music.mp3 and it downloaded as music.txt then you can rename the .txt to .mp3 and the file should be fine.

It wouldn't open them. Only had option to open with reader, or html.file editor. Trying FireFox now. Thanks for the info guys.

Why my phone don't read the bootanimation files zipped by me?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Did you manually placed the zip folder in /system/media/ or tried to flash the zip folder through recovery mode ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I placed the original bootanimation.zip in system/media or in data/local. It works. If I unzip this file and zip them again the phone don't read this .zip.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
The bootanimation has to zipped in "store" form, and not"compress" form...
If you compress, it won't work...

How can I make a zip file without compression? I've zipped automatically with winzip or with Root Explorer.

Use a tool called Boot Animation Creator !
That's much easier
Cheers
Thank you. I've resolved all. With Root Explorer must create a tar archive without compression and rename the file .tar in bootanimation.zip
With winzip must before specified "none" on compression setting
Thank you again!

Sorry, with root explorer it's not possible. Erroneously I've placed another .zip.
But with winzip it's possible. I made a custom animation with a personal movie. It works great!

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.
