Heres my story:
I rooted my phone. After rooting my phone I used root explorer to extracted some of my apps/games to my PC. After the extraction they were no longer .apk files. Is there a way to change them back to .apk? These apps are no longer offered in the Market and cant find them anywhere online. Also, I have the backup (using nandroid). Is there a way I can open those files up and pull the .apk from there? They are .img files?
Trying to do this without having to unroot my phone load the ROM back and get the .apks again (this time using another program) and then rooting the phone again.
If the apks are still on the comouter, just change the file.extention to apk

I tried that but it didnt work. However, I did have the Clockwork MOD recovery of the build. So I just booted into it using the ROM manager and used ASTRO to back up the apps as .apk files and then rebooted back into my rooted ROM and works fine now. Thanks
im trying to change my boot screen on my htc evo 4g ive tried a lot of things but somw=ething always manages to go wrong and not work ive tried pushboot, HTC EVO Boot Replacer v5, going into recovery mode and installing through sd card, terminal emulator, and other things i rooted my phone a couple weeks ago so im pretty new at this can anybody help me out?
maybe some step by step instructions and anything i need to download or install
I need help too. I've tried several ways of changing my boot, with no success. step by step instruction would be nice!!!
download root explorer, run a search for bootanimation.zip and note the results. then extract the files from the zip you want to add onto your desktop, open the folder and go to system/customize/resource or whatever path takes to to another bootanimation.zip load this onto the root of your sd card then use root explorer to copy and paste over the original after you mount as r/w.... confused yet? just start going throught the files and looking at where stuff is kept and youll notice if you look inside the zips your flashing they have the same paths... doing boot animations is simple as cutting and pasting on ANY computer.... your phone is no diif as long as you have access.... what rom are you on?
I've learned to mount while in recovery and put a ROM in the root folder, but when i go to "flash zip from sdcard" i can't select anything?
Was there something i forgot? I see that the ROM is a img file, do i mount it and extract the files within it and then put those into the root folder? (Just tried it, and nothing happens when i mount the img?)
Are there other things i have to do all over again b4 i can even flash a rom?
*I wiped everything b/c i was trying to re-flash the rom i had in order to see if that would solve my Wi-Fi problems.
It needs to be a zip file in order to flash through recovery.
So how do i get it to be a zip file instead of img?
Hmm i assume i need to download winzip then?
Got WinZip, put the rom back in the root folder as a zip file, still nothing showing up.
Jut redownload the rom from wherever u got it from. Make sure its a zip file then try that

Wow, this whole time i've been extracting the downloaded file and then putting the files into the root folder. I'm supposed to just put the downloaded zip directly into the root huh?
Lets see if it works now.
Ugh, okay. Got it to work. Installed new ROM. But, the reason i tried all of this was b/c my Wi-Fi was not working. It still isn't.
Well that totally depends on the rom. Some custom Rom's might not have wifi set up yet, which does seem strange because that is a basic. But go over the simple things first such as :Is wifi enabled. I know it sounds stupid but it could be a fix lol!
okay guys this is my first android phone,first time rooting, first time for all of it basically.
i have a galaxy s3 i747m that i managed to root already. now i downloaded a ROM that i want and using android file exchange( I AM ON A MAC MAYBE MY PROBLEM?)
so i found the file on my mac,opended file exchange,put the file on my SD card.
now when i go into ROM manager i go to "install ROM from SD card" but it shows me everything thats on my phone not my SD card....i looked everywhere but the file is not there and i cant figure out why its doing this.
so i thought maybe if i save it to my phone i can find it,so i did that and i found the ROM file, but now when i open the file it just shows me
META-INF/ and system/ but on my computer it shows me something called BOOT.IMG.
im guessing this is the part of the file i need since nothing else works?
let me know guys im stuck, and sorry for the long post.
thanks guys!

DON'T touch this boot.img you taklking about.
Can you cannect phone by USB to your mac? ( sorry i'm PC guy). If you do just go open your phone with explorer in you mac then create folder on SD card "ROMS" in example , copy downloaded rom from your mac to phone this way you will know where it is. Now if you did not install CWM (clockwork mod recovery) install one from Rom Manager and reboot in it. Choose install from card and find roms folder you created and rom you copied in to folder choose this rom. Now follow instruction.
BTW. Before you start flashing roms READ more anthill you sure you know how is done for 100%. There are so many info how this should be done. READ this first :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 Twice if you have to.
Good luck
I edited my build.prop to tweak my phone. I made a oopyof the file as backup and named it, build.prop-Copy.. When I rebooted the phone stays stuck in "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo. I entered TWRP recovery to see if I can rename the backed up copy to build.prop and then delete the bad build.prop. But when I enter one of the options for file system in recovery, I cant find the file!! I went into /system and all I saw there was bin folder. I swear to f***ing god this makes no sense!!
I also made a nandroid before using CWM recovery. But I uninstalled Rom Manager but not CWM. I dont know if its still there. And I dont know where exactly this nandroid is.
Please help me guys!! This is seriously killing me!
