Hi,
I'm relatively new to Android and I'd like your feedback on a problem I'm facing using unrar programs on my Note II.
I tried to unrar some files I threw from my pc experimenting with 3-4 programs available at Google Play to see if it can be done correctly. While everything seems to work ok, the filesize of the end file is exactly the same as if I was doing the job at my pc, and the name and file extension (Matroska file in my example) is written correctly in the created file under properties, when I try to play it it doesn't work for some reason.
Of course if I unrar the same files at my pc and throw the end file inside the pc, then everything is ok. For some weird reason, while the unrar process seems to be done correctly in my phone, the end file cannot be played.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance

I use this ,not a single problem so far,it can support multiple files as well.
I have installed exactly the same program atm in my Note II!
I don't know if the problem is with the program though. I'm trying to unrar multiple rar files to create the mkv video. The operation is done correctly as I said (or at least it seems so) but the mkv file cannot be played. The filesize and the name of the endf ile is exactly the same as if I was doing the operation in my pc, but for some reason the file cannot be played.. :/
Also I noticed that if I try to copy this file in my pc, or move/copy it somewhere else inside the phone I can't!
I can only delete it..
It could be that just one file is missing the.rar extension in that case you have to rename it into.rar.
And it's better to put all of the multiple files in one folder.
Thanks for your feedback guys I found what was the issue. I need to make one clarification though so if you can help, you'd help me understand why this happens.
I've done the internal/external swap memory flashmod on my Note II, and I was trying to unrar/write initially on the now external card(but in reality it's the internal memory without the mod). So when I perform the operation in the "external" card the created file cannot play.
When I try to do it in the now internal(but in reality sd card/external memory) everything works just fine.
Is there any limitation to begin with with using unrar programs in the external memory? Or it might be an issue/bug with the mod quite possibly?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I searched through everywhere but did not find a real good answer.
On my HD2 Phone Memory I have a few files that have strange filenames with strange characters. I want to remove them but then it says it can't cause the file is corrupt. (Don't think they are corrupt, just problems with the filenames) I also tried to remove the whole directory but then it removes all files in the directory but not those strange ones and then it can't remove the directory cause it is not empty. Also tried to rename them, but it also is telling me the files are corrupt.
The only option I found that probebly will work is the Hard Reset, but I don't want to do that since I want to remove them for my backup program wich also can't handle these files.
Now, I tried the original explorer, the Resco explorer and Total commander.
Does anyone has an idee how to remove them?
thanks
Rom: Artemis 18 NLD
Radio: 2.10.50.08_2
Is there nobody with an idea?
are these in your device memory or on the sdcard ....
if they are in Device memory I would say a Hard Reset is your only option to fix it, but if you have corrupt files in device memory , you may have a hardware issue ...
If you have corrupt files on your SD card, copy everything you can to your pc and then format the card ... and then put your stuff back ...
If it does it again, in either place, you may have some hardware problems ...
OR, this could be too, had it on a guys phone the other day, PC infected with a virus that keeps trying to spread to the phone every time it is plugged into the PC ...
watcher64,
Thanks for the answer,
It is in device memory and it is not a hardware issue since it is only from one app. YouTube. Obviosly it is the caching (windows/YouTube)
I use an other YouTube Application now. But the other files I can't remove. I did not want to hard reset since I don't want to reinstall all the stuff. Eventualy I will reinstall with a newer ROM. But I was planing to see how stable this rom is and just try using it for at least 3 months. I can backup everything with excluding that specific directory. But I just will keep trying to remove those files.
So if there is anyone out there that knows how to remove those files.....
Are there tools for this filesystem, (wich filesystem is it?)
Ok so idk if im exactly supposed to post this here and im sorry if its the wrong place, but whenever i transfer a theme onto my phone, its in my SD card, i unplug my phone from my computer, go into my SD card folder and i cant open any of it, like its a bunch of separate files for example: "_SETUP" "0CABEAE0" and so on, but i cant open any of them to install the theme onto my phone, like they all have the windows icon for their thumbnail, anyone have a tutorial or solution to fix this, and i dont know what model my hd2 is, i got it at the end of may, so idk if that will help at all and i bought it from t mobile.

the themes you are downloading come in a ".cab" which it sounds like you are unzipping. do not do this.
simply download the .cab. move the cab onto your phone and click it to run it.
Yeah i know i need a .cab file but the only problem is, whenever i download something on this site its not a .cab file.... its usually like a xml file

May I ask witch theme you will?? I mean I have past a lot of time here on xda; and mostly (90%) of the theme installation are cab files. Maybe there is a other problem.
I think i may of fixed the problem, im downloading the themes straight from my hd2 and it gives me the cab file, but i dont exactly know all the themes that I downloaded, lets just say it was a bunch.

No problem sir, in case of; let us know.
one question tho, say i want to transfer it onto my phone via computer, should i put the winrar file directly into my sd card or should i extract the files out of it into a folder and put the folder into the sd card?

You have different way sir;
A) you transfer the cab file to SD and navigate with your mobile device to the cab file, press on it and install (select always internal memory as installation path fore themes)
B) You unpacked the cab file (by using a cab program; don't extract cabs with Winrar/Winzip/7Zip, it will not work) in a folder somewhere on your PC; and you use CFC-GUI fore trans-fair it to your device.
Cab programs:
- Payable; WinCE CAB Manager
-Freeware; Cabwiz, QuickCab 1.0
CFC_GUI

Okay, i think i will just stick with the way im doing it now haha, thank you for helping though.
I installed Easy Unrar, Unzip & Zip from Goolge play to unzip a zip folder on my phone. It didn't work at all, besides, it created a folder (with strange character name) which can not be deleted. It's 0 byte, can be opened but is empty. Can not create anything inside. I tried deleting with Astro file manager, nothing happened, the folder still there. I tried deleting from my PC, it said the 'Cannot delete the folder. Storage is protected. Remove the write-protection and try again'. The strange folder is on my internal memory. I don't have a memory card installed. Please help.
I can delete any other things on my phone. The file name of the zip I tried to unzip is not English, which I suspect might be the problem?

help
ive encountered this too. can someone help us or did you already fix this? I think it has a chinese character like.apk but when you open. it opens as if it was a folder. but you cannot delete, rename, move or copy. even through desktop operations failed. and also its shows the date accessed in a year 1970. i tried to edit my date settings hoping that I might delete it but this note 2 has a minimum of year 2000. help thanks
Try to install clean master and open it. Press junk file and standard. Allow it to scan. It shld have a residual folders place. Just scan it with standard and advanced. See if it is still thr. Btw. U can unzip zip files with File Expert.

Hello all. I recently bought Final Fantasy IV and was disappointed to find there was no language setting in the game that I could find. Ideally, I would like to play with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Launching normally under USA locale plays English vocals and subtitles. I was afraid that the Play store variant would only come with English audio, but I found by changing my Nexus 7 language settings to Japanese, that it would in fact contain and play with JP audio and JP subtitles. I can't understand why , this being the case that there isn't an easy in application language switching option that I can see.
All the components are there. Does anyone know how I could somehow edit the files to play JP audio and English subs? Copy the JP audio track to the English version of the game seems the most straightforward , if I could figure a way to do it. Anyone have ideas for this process? Programs I will need to unpack the apk or game data and edit what needs to be etc...? Thanks.
To th ebest of my knowledge, it appears that I'll probably need to unpack the .obb file somehow. The .apk is small. Does anyone know of an suitable utilities to unpack and repack/sign if need be .obb an/o .apk firles?
I've seen a few posts on the forum suggesting that I simply rename the .obb to .zip, .rar etc... and it will simply be able to be extracted. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case. I've been attempting to use 7zip to extract the archive with a number of renamed file types and every time it claims that it doesn't seem to be a valid archive etc.... Others have suggested 7zip works for this in other cases, but I'm not sure why it is failing now. Do I need to use a specific program to see if it is a valid archive?
Edit: I also tried with WinRAR and to no effect - the same problem where it reports that there is no archive present etc...
At the moment I'm trying this with an edited/sideload ready version of FFIV 1.2.3 (which has both the .apk file of a few megabytes and the .obb of a few hundred megabytes), at least until I can pull the exact copy off my device. I'd really appreciate any insight. What do I need to open/extract the .obb and why is it not appearing with 7zip? Thanks.
I'm going to try and get another copy of the files from another source (pulled directly from my Nexus 7 or Nexus 4) onto my Windows PC etc...

Huh... I'm not sure how to help you too. Just a simple beginner. But using .zip or .rar worked for me. Just that the file names were all long and weird. Also, every file appears as a .file extension
open obb file
Hi,
did you tried to open *.obb using "jobb" application from Android SDK?
All the files and folders on my Galaxy Note 3's internal and external storage have reverted to what appears to be the defaults, all the photos (DCIM folder), videos, downloaded files, apk's, setup files, language files and who knows what else are gone, just vanished, not visible in Windows nor in Solid File Explorer, some apps are missing their language files or data files.
The phone was plugged in to USB on a WIN7 PC and the explorer window seemed to freeze, eventually I had to unplug the phone and now when I reconnect or look with a file explorer there must be >40 folders and thousands of files missing.
So what happened? Where are all the files? Are they recoverable?

This can be a files coruption, most of thing can cause data losage, like some tweaks, boosting apps, also hardware problems.
I know one LG bello user which changed few sdcards because of the rom. That was a bug which destroy sd.
Files are not recoverable, also I suggest not only to you, upload your files(pics, videos, other data) to cloud services because you never knows what can happens with the device you can drop it into water or to throw it in a deep abyss
Always keep files on safe place.
MEGA, Google drive, mediafire, or any other.

This just happened again, luckily my photos are backed up to the cloud but how does this keep happening? Has anyone else had this happen?
I'm kinda amazed that it actually happened again and wasn't a glitch and that no-one else seems to have reported something similar. I'm sure now I can cause it to happen on command.
(I'm using MTP on 5.1.1 Resurrection Remix Rom.)
Maybe you can open your files via cardrider?
