every time i try download a APK file it does it as a zip file how do i change it to apk i think this as something to do with Google chrome.
just rename the file .apk
Or just click on the zip and extract the
.apk. Sometimes the apk is contained in the zip.

in a file explorer, press and hold the file and select rename.
Rename the extension and you should be good.

Sometimes APKs are zipped in a folder. You have to extract the folder to get the APK

Chrome beta renames every apk into a zip. Two solutions:
1. Download your apk with the stock browser.
2. Download Astro file manager (o any other app like astro) to rename the zip.

Yep, that's what I'm saying exactly. It's happened to me numerous times. I prefer root explorer to astro tbh but its just a matter of personal preference. Plus extracting the apk from the zip eliminates having to flash the zip in recovery to install the apk.

any way to get the stock accuweather widget/clock? really liked it
I believe that may be contained GenieWidget.apk, I pulled this from ReRFS EC05 ROM zip, it is just the stock rom made flashable.
Use 7-zip to unzip it and copy the apk to your phone, use root explorer to install it or copy it to system/app folder.
unfortunately thats the wrong app. im looking for the stock samsung/accuweather clock
Put in system/app

Kept getting "application not installed"
You have to copy the apk and put it in system/app with root explorer, or es file explorer.

I did that but then i also installed it. Am I not supposed to?
If you put it in system/app, just reboot, and it should be ready to use.

So I tried to extract the MetroStation app on my computer. I wanted to add an icon to the app...
Steps:
1. Backed up MetroStation.apk by copy from /app to /sdcard with rootexplorer
2. Placed on computer
3. Extracted by changing apk to .zip
4. Added the icon I wanted
5. Zipped the folder and named it to original name with .apk extension
6. Used ApkManager, place MetroStation.apk into /place-here-for-signing
7. Signed thru ApkManager
8. reuploaded to phone and tried to install
9. Problem Parsing the Package...? What did I do wrong?

Did you uninstall the original app first? If not do that and it should work.

I tried to use the batch file to do this however it would not update my device after it patched the apks. I would like a working one also.

Another option would be to utilize Touchdown instead of the stock Exchange account. This does two things - the pin requirement is now when you launch the touchdown app and not the lockscreen. The second thing is that it still meets your organization's security requirements, so you will not show up on their radar. Essentially it just locks the exchange content and not your personal content.
Working for me so far anyway, so thought I'd pass along as a second option if you can't disable the pin reqt for Exchange.
OK I got it working by doing the following:
You must be rooted.
Download this to the tablet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749921
DOWNLOAD (Android 4.3.x):
ExchangeNoPIN-4.3.x.zip (v4.0)
Use something like Es File explorer
Click on tools on the side
Click on root explorer
Select mount R/W
Select r/w for system
Navigate to \System\App
Rename EmailGoogle.apk to EmailGoogle.apk.bak and Email2Exchange.apk to Email2Exchange.apk.bak
Next unzip the file downloaded
Rename the two apks in the file from Email.apk to EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2.apk to Exchange2Google.apk
Move both files to \System\app
Reboot
Profit!!

Nice, thanks!!
I will say a word of caution, for folks that did this on Galaxy S3 AOSP roms, their email eventually stopped working. I'm not sure if this is similar or not, but keep an eye on it if you choose to try this.
That being said, I'll probably try this.
Hello XDA, I did not create this, just thought I'd share. This is NOT a flashable .zip. To install: 1- download aokpbootanimation.zip from link provided. 2- using a file explorer copy file to /system/media. 3- rename existing bootanimation.zip or delete it. 4- rename aokpbootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip 5- set permissions to rw-r--r--. 6- reboot and enjoy https://www.dropbox.com/s/s3v6z6ddlv73wqn/aokpbootanimation.zip
