[Q] Extracted an mp3 from an APK, but it's not recognized - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I extracted an mp3 file from an APK (via rename to .zip and extract). However, the mp3 file isn't recognized by any app, and so won't play.
What am I missing to get this to work?

you don't rename the extension for starters. on pc get 7zip,open the apk,copy the mp3 and paste to where you want it

That's no different than what I did. It's still doing a zip extraction.
Just for kicks, I did it your way, and got the exact same file, byte for byte. Still the same problem, too - it's not being recognized as an mp3.

Changing system sounds with mp3

I dont know if anyone has done this yet or not but I was able to change out all the sounds on my g2 with using a root browser and ringdroid.
I used ringdroid and cut the mp3 to the length I wanted and saved as a music file, then go into the file manager and rename the file the same as the file I want to replace in the system\media\audio\ui folder.
Note: when renaming the file instead of .mp3 add .ogg to the end of the file name
Also be sure to back up any sounds you change out first

Send whatever you want in whatsapp

Hi friends this post is to show you how to send whatever file you want in whatsapp without using any third party app​
Things required :
1) ES file explorer
2) Whatsapp
3) A small mp3 file(less than 100 KB will be effective)
First put the file (any file ...) You want in a folder along with the mp3 file...
Then compress it in ES file explorer in store mode
Then Rename the extension of the .zip file into .mp3
Then Send it using whatsapp
Ohhh don't run.....wait ....next comes the most important step....
You need to know how to unpact the file if you receive the same file from someone ..right???
So now go to Whatsapp folder in your SD card and goto media-->audio-->received
(The recently received file will be the last file in the folder)
Rename the received file's extension again to .zip and then extract the files to the required destination .....
Thats it .....:good:

Hungama Music and Video app, How to import downloaded videos to pc? please help

help!!!!!!!
I have installed Hungama app from Google playstore now after that is downloaded some videos from this app and the video are there inside the application only,
then i installed ES file explorer where i can access the android/data/com.hungama.myplay.activity/files/video/.
inisde this folder all the videos can be found but the problem is that every video is having a filename with extension .cache
at first time when i entered to the folder and copied one from them and pasted there in same folder than moved the copy to another folder and renamed the filename by changing only its extension from .cache to .mp4 while having the app running in background, after renaming the file with .mp4 extension i tried to open it with MX video Player, it was played well without any buffering like an file in sdcard. i thought its easy, therefore selected all the files from that folder and copied them to another location in the sd card and tried to rename all files at once by changing their file extension from .cache to mp4 ,
But this time MX player and every mp4 player failed and now also no video is playing outside that particular app.
What could be the solution?? please post your suggestions soon,, and help!!!!
if possible can anyone here check this video file for the error why it cant be played after playing once in android MX player...

Tested on app version 5.2.18
When the app opens a .cache file, it "decrypts" it. When a file is decrypted, its name will have "decrypt" at the end
EX: encripted "audio_134298.cache"
decrypted "audio_134298decrypt.cache"
So, my solution was to download an FTP server on my phone, then connect to it through windows CMD and download the decrypted songs with a wildcard
(Make sure to CD into wherever you wanna download the songs first BEFORE doing the commands)
Code:
ftp -i
open
PHONE_IP PORT
cd Android/data/com.hungama.myplay.activity/files/track/
mget *decrypt.cache
mdelete *decrypt.cache
When I did the process described above, there were only 21 decrypted songs (Even though my library has +500 songs) (I don't know if the same 21-rule applies to videos), so you'll have to press PLAY (from the hungama app) 21 times, and then repeat the download process (mget and then mdelete to free up space)
After that's done, I fired up "Bulk Rename Utility" and changed all extensions to .mp3 (since I was converting music), and also removed the "decrypt" characters from the filenames.
But BEWARE, decrypted files are not the final form of the mp3; If you listen to them you will only hear giverish.
But at least we now have meta-data.
I would post a link to one of these files, but:
a) I don't have enough reputation to post links
b) Copyright
At this point it might just be better to write down a list of all your songs and re-download them from hungama<dot>com
Hope this helps
First of all navigate to the browser where it saves the file and Remove .nomedia File from that folder not browse the folder in MX or VLC and Enjoy the videos

It's not uncommon that an app creates files that other apps don't need to access, or shouldn't access.

Amazfit Pace and watchfaces problem

hi to forum
I have this smartwatch and I can't download any new watchface to my watch
I download to my pc and I move the file to folder watchfaces( without dot folder)
I make copy paste to the folder. After that, the file never shows to that folder.
I can't find any solution about that.
any suggestions. My watch rom is 2.8.3.0. And my mobile is MI MAX2 .
thanks
Did you reboot the watch?
Yes both my watch and my mobile
Some browsers download unknown files are ZIP, make sure they end with .WFZ: watch_face_name.wfz, and copy them to the folder /sdcard/WatchFace.
WFZ files are actually ZIP files, so if you open then you in 7zip or WinZip for example you should see its contents, and NOT a single file.
all files have the extension wfz and I try to copy to warchfaces folder after copy paste the files doesn't show in the folder

Then maybe they aren't supported, I don't think that ones for Pace/Stratos work. You can get some here:
