Multirar app? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there everyone! I'm looking for an app, which would open multi-rar files such as .r00, .r01, ect. and extract one big file from them.
I've tried several apps found on Android market, but non of them did what I want to do. Any ideas?

That doesn't even work well with single file .RARs, it's unrar code is too old.
It couldn't extract any of mine, other apps could.
But yeah, there is no good .RAR app at all out there at the moment.

Did you try Unrar Pro (paid) or Unrar (free) ? Description for both of them reads that they can extract multi-part rar archives.

I tried UnRarPro, the free version adds delay loops into the extraction to make you buy the "full" version, and buying the full version.... I don't, paying to use code that is open source (unrar sources are open source!) I define as total rip-off.
So, both hardly quallify for me as "good" - but for the occasional unraring the delay-looped version might just work fine.
I'll do my own eventually, just need to find some time.

So there is actually no good .rar app in the whole Android market?

Try contacting Rarlabs Win rars owner .

Adobe AIR

If you're a masochist and want AIR on your OV, do this:
Download the SDK (google it, it's freely available from Adobe), go looking in the runtimes directory. There should be an android directory, and in there you'll see device and emulator. Install the emulator APK, and AIR apps should be installable via the market.
Of course being Adobe bloatware, it's really, really slow. And, yeah, AIR apps look like **** warmed over, don't integrate at all with the stock Android UI, etc.
Looks like it requires Gingerbread.
This made my day, my week even, probably my entire month. I develop flash apps, and export them to run with AIR, but haven't been able to use them on my Optimus V. But thanks to this I now can.
Thanks soooooo much.

1/ It will NOT help with your browsing.
2/ No, I am NOT using it. I am having hard time uninstalling this junk on PCs where it keeps creeping back with other Adobe stuff.
3/ YES, the method in the OP works.
3/ YES, your spelling definitely sucks big time.
many thanks to doktornotor for this method.
I'm a total noob so it took a little googling for me to figure out your instructions. Figured I'd post my steps here in case anyone is as noobish (nooby?) as me.
First, go to the android marketplace and install "appinstaller" (it's free) if you don't already have it.
Then go to abode.com and type "air sdk" into the search bar. You should see a link that says "download adobe air sdk".
Choose your version (I'm on windows). And wait for the download.
Once the .zip file has downloaded to your system, open it and browse to the "runtimes" folder. Open it and then open the "air" folder inside it. Then open the "android" folder, followed by the "emulator" folder.
So it's SDK.zip->runtimes->air->android->Runtime.apk
Put the Runtime.apk file on your desktop.
Plug your phone into your computer and put the Runtime.apk file on your sd (I put in the download folder).
Then disconnect your phone and run the AppInstaller app. Find the Runtime.apk file you just downloaded and hit install.
Wait 30 seconds.
If all goes well, congratulations, you now have adobe air!
Thank again. You're a real life saver!
Trying to do this on my Optimus S, should be similar enough to work shouldn't it?
I don't have gingerbread installed currently, however my tablet running froyo installed the latest Adobe Air from the market, so is GB really a requirement here?
My Optimus is still on Froyo for now, could that be why this isn't installing?
pls upload Runtime.apk
You may now upload that Runtime.apk to megaupload or filehippo and update a link?
It will be a lot of help if done so.
Or you can PM (Private Message) me the file and i will upload it.
thanks a lot in advance.
edit :
You can upload in this thread itself you can edit the post and down below and see Attach Files... much more easier ;-)

Try using an Apk installer off the market.
You can find many different apk installers off the market. Try Easy Installer or Apk Installer.
Agreed. This thread was long dead. His main issue is that he was using a clone device. Not a real S3

[Q] Downloading files from Internet?

Hi guys,
I'm curious why I cannot download any files from Internet on my S2 using the default browser. I tried a .zip and .rpm file link, both don't work. Is there a specific file restriction, or did I missed some setting? I'm trying to determine the real HSPA+ speed I get on Bell network and I think the best way is to simply download a 1MB file. I'm not familiar, do we have some sort of stats or details when we download a file?
I'm not interested to install some third party downloader.
Thanks for your help.
In cant download, do you mean it saves the file as a .htm file?

Get a different browser from the market.

No, you download a .zip file from mediafire for example. If it can't download, why the Downloads app has a tab called Internet Downloads?

I'm not interested to download third party apps, I just want to know WHY the Internet Downloads are not enabled on S2 with the default browser, even if we have a system app that monitors this part.
Stock browser does not work with all files, just use downloadallfiles and it will download all files. Does not harm the system in any way and a useful tool.

Sorry, I don't want to sound rude but... did you guys read my OP question?
I don't CARE about third apps, I just want to know WHY I cannot download files with stock apps and what file types I can download.
If anyone could let me know what files can be downloaded and managed by Downloads app, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Heh, you're a funny guy.
Whoever wonders what file types are handled by Android, here it is an example:
Code:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.{ZIP,PDF}"
Yes, the filename is case sensitive. Android does not use file extensions, so you need to supply an appropriate MIME type in your HTTP responses.
As a side note, I thought XDA is a developer forum where questions like the ones I asked are something normal.
If you haven't already understood, there are options you can enable to allow stock browser to download all file types, they have been mentioned now on this thread.

Ok, maybe you are French first language, let me explain this, you can patch the browser to download any file type with astro etc.very easy solution and you don't give up the stock browser!
Ie NOT a third party downloader, but a stock browser enabler.
I really have no idea what is so hard to understand what I asked.
For the Nth time, I wanted to know "WHY" I cannot make the Android browser download a .zip file (for example).
All you have to do is send the proper headers to your Android browser (that is the WHY part), it will work. I can upload a zip archive to one of my servers and create a php file with a header like that:
Code:
$file = 'mytestfile';
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file . '.ZIP"');
I don't CARE there are programs, patches or dancing cowboys that can enable file downloads into my phone.
I simply wanted to know the "WHY" part. Man I'm exhausted...
Why is it worth worrying about when the fix is a piece of piss?
Without the fix, the phone can only download a minimal number of file types, with the fix, it can download all, what are you waiting for?

[Q] Need help extracting from apk/zip.

Hey, in the attached zip (apk), I want to extract the loading screen to have as a wallpaper.
I for the love of god couldnt get a screenshot of it (seemed like there where some conflicts with loading+screenshotting)
and I cant seem to find it.
I'm in dire need here, many thanks to the one who can help me!

You can try using 7zip to extract the image, many .png and .jpg images will be easily obtainable this way. If that fails try brutall's apk decompiling tool, just Google it, its easy to use. Or I blevie daneshm (something like that) made a different one based off brutall work. Either way there are many to chose from and all easily found with the search button

RE: What you can do is look on xda for an android app called Zarchiver. This opens many file types. Make sure to download the arm version.
Then navigate to the apk file, hold the touch screen and click open as archive. Also, goto <filename.apk> and navigate to /res/img/hdpi then grab your image. Here's the link to Zarchiver- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154241 remember, get 0.65 arm (the first link).
Gonna try, thanks

[Q] How to take a Backup of all AndroidManifest.xml's?

Hello, everyone.
Is there any way to take a backup of all AndroidManifests.xml on an Android Device?
ALL Free Apps
ALL Paid Apps
ALL System Apps
And where can you find them on the ES-File Explorer or any other File Explorer?
The app „Android System Information" can actually view all AndroidManifests.xml - System/Paid and Free apps. Every single one.
If an app is able to Display them, there must be a way to backup them or copy them to another folder.
Thanks in Advance.
It most likely workes like an archive veiwer. All those files are stored into the apks. You will have to decompile each apk

INSIDE of the APK's?
Don't think so...
AndoridManifest includes things like
API Version
App Version
Installation Date and Time (also with seconds)
Some Metadata
Package Name
etc.

I am aware of just what it is. They are stored inside the apk. Just unzip one and you will see it, might need to decompile it to read it though.

Are the AndroidManifests also included in an ADB-Backup of one or multiple apps?

In a way as they back up the whole apk. If you are just wanting those files you will have to rip each one apart. No way around it.
