[Q] Cannot open downloaded JPG's - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Downloaded a JPG wallpaper file from androidwalls.net.
When I try to open the file via Download manager it doesn't let me open it as it says 'Can't Open File'. Have I just downloaded a virus masked as a JPG or something ? Haha..
If not, does anybody know why Android doesn't support Jpg's? (I'm sure it must do...)...
Thanks for the help, really appreciate it..

it support it ....but you can use adm pro app ...or please wipe data and cache of the download manger app ....or simply via stock browser and open an image and then click save image

Thanks for that - appreciate it.
Just wondering - what made the JPG I downloaded so unusable ? How come it wouldn't open?
I didn't unintentionally download some sort of virus right ?

Maybe the file is just corrupted? Maybe the download didn't finish properly, hence no app can open it..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you don't rename it.
on computer you extract it, go into system and you see the apk
it won't let you install on phone by just clicking
put on sd card
go to astro, or root manager
move the memo.apk to system/app
done.
you need to extract the folder with winrar winzip whatever then there is a folder with the apk in it. copy it over to your phone under downloads or where ever you want to put it. then install.
edit: just did all that i said and when i tried to install the apk it says "application not installed"
just did what u said, even rebooted, and still don't see it

read the post above.
you have to move the .apk to system/apps
because memo isn't a regular app.
got the same thing. used astro, place the apk in system/apps. nothing happened. rebooted, still nothing. then even tried using the app manager in astro to install it and it says "there is a problem parsing the package"
Link no longer working... could somebody upload it again please ?
thanks

I've tried this with MIUI (1.7.22) on a SGS Captivate with no success. I have flashed many roms and installed/sideloaded many apps over the past 10 months. I know I'm doing it right, as I have 'installed' other system apps by moving the apk to /system/apps and fixing permissions and ownership. Has this worked for anyone on a MIUI ROM?
Another related question would be - is there a way to export the notes from the stock memo.apk?

[Q] How to download a .tbz2 file from my Archos?

Hello,
I've Urukdroid 0.7 installed on the SD card of my Archos 70.
I would like to upgrade to 1.0.
Following the wiki I've to download a file UrukDroid-1.0-upgrade.tbz2 but when I go with the default web browser of Archos on the link provided in the wiki, the web browser opens me an "ugly" text page will all strange alphanumeric caracters in place of proposing me a pop up to download the file.
Any idea how to solve that?
Rookie question...
Thanks for reading...
Vincent
Longer press on link and then "save link"
I had the same issue yesterday
This is because the browser dont know the *.tbz2 file, so the browser open the file as a text document (standart option)
You have to do this with the "fix" from the first poster
Or (if you have dolphin browser hd) you open the site and klick on
menubutton>>more>>save page

First thanks to you two for your fast answers.
I don't have installed yet the market in Urukdroid mode then no Dolphin.
I pressed long then save link then I've a file UrukDroid-1.txt of 139Mb.
I renamed it with the right full name. I copy it with the default file manager in a directory UrukUpdate I created by myself under Android/data that is displayed in "Internal" even if I install UD06 on my SD card...
When I ask to force update via urukconfig, it says that no file found in /data/UrukUpdate.
Knowing that during the installation of UD06 on my SD card, I said No to copy the data, is it normal that /Android/data is under internal and that no /data/UrukUpdate exists?

1) You can download free apps also under freewarelovers.com
Link to download Dolphin Browser is :
http://www.freewarelovers.com/hotlinkmenot/temp/62535a/1300039853_Dolphin_Browser_HD_4.5.0.apk
2) You have to this with a root file manager (not the /data directory in the "normal" file manager (this file manager only check the /storage directory ))
You can download AndRootFile (the best free i know) here:
http://andbox.googlecode.com/files/AndRootFile_3.0_beta_signed.apk
Hope i could help you

If you mean .gpk, NO
If you want to install .apk then YES.
How?
1. Copy the apk files you want to install to your phone
2. On your phone, Goto Settings - Security - Enable unknown sources (under Device Administration)
3. open "My files" or any other file explorer you have previously installed. My files is pre-installed on your phone.
- browse to the folder where you copied those apk files to (in step 1.)
- open each apk file, one after the other to install.
Done
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Gpk files is something concered with audio files or something and has nothing to do with android http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/gpk
To install apk files u should check unkown sources in settings >> security ( ICS )
Or settings >> location and Security (GB)
actually there is some games that is formated to gpk the only diffrence is it has an installer that automatically put all the file in its destination like the sd files or data. thou you can you winzip or rar to extract it if you dont want to use the installer called 'thumb play installer'
another method - http://www.muzhiwan.com/
install the top right apk

go to application manager, find "browser", then clear the default and then download another browser like "Maxthon" which i use
Thank you, clearing "internet" app cache helped
After some checking, problem could be also using Directory Bind to mount download catalog, reason was to export all download files from internal sdcard (memory) to extsdcard.

[Q] apk filetype not being recognized by APK OneClick

First off I will say this is the greatest tool I have ever came across and I am thankful for anyone that had hand in its production. The tool of course is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873466 and it has been working great for me. But earlier today I used winrar to open a com apk file and edit a specific txt file however I accidentally didn't un-click the "use as default program" box and now right-clicking and apk file will not display the decompile option or install to phone option any longer. I figured since the default program had been changed it was not being recognized by one click apk any longer so I deleted the default program for the apk file type in the registry and uninstalled then re installed the shellext for APK_OneClick however the right-click apk options still will not show. I can recompile folders to APKs but nothing else. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced it is driving me crazy.
I am assuming my problem is fro the whole winrar accident as the icon provided with OneClick no longer is displayed for apk files either I just can't solve the issue.
I have tried open file with whe right clicking apks and it will allow me to select the decompile file in the APK_OneClick folder manully but then after recompiling the disarm folder back into an APK it fails to install to the phone via USB and after moving it to the phone it has a parsing error. Any help on how to fix the right click problem or at least fix my parsing issue would be much appreciated. Thank you all!
