unraring...??? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Downloaded a rar, tried to unrar it using a whole bunch of different apps, would not unrar. Note that this was my own rar file, so I know for certain that it is good.
Thoughts..??
Thanks.

Try Explorer
I use Root Explorer (same app by same dev just with Root features added) and i have no issues opening UNENCRYPTED RAR files on my device.

it's no longer in beta, so it's no longer free, but you may be able to use the trial version of solid explorer for this. if not, purchasing a license will make an extraction possible. root explorer can also do this. es explorer should be able to do it for free. keep in mind, no app can create a .rar; you can only extract, as .rar is a proprietary code and is not yet ported for full access by its creator.

HTC TP2 ROM manipulation

Yesterday, I tried copying the HTCSendorSDK.dll through ActiveSync. I got Access Denied and though that the dll must be in use. Then I used File Browser on the phone to copy the file to another folder. It said that it can't copy a file included in the ROM. I haven't made any other changes and since then Opera and Weather don't connect. Internet Explorer is able to browse the web, vxUtils says I have two valid IPs and I'm able to use HTTP GET and Ip lookups.
Any ideas if me attempting to copy the ROM included file screwed something up?
Any other ideas for troubleshooting?
Thanks
Chris
use something like total commander to copy the file.
you should be able to find a .cab to install total commander, which will allow you to copy or move the file.

You can always delete replaced files that were in rom. This will make the system revert to the original file that was overwritten. This always works without issue unless the overwritten file was something that gets changed or updated like certain .ini files, etc...
for overwritting system files, I recommend Resco file explorer. It is hands down the best file/registry explorer/editor. Google beta 2 for a free trial.

[Q] Zipped apk files open as directory on on my mac

Sometimes, when I download a zip file of an apk, my mac unzips it into a folder with all the internal files, not as one apk file.
This almost always happens when I download from mediafire. Sometimes from other sites as well.
Any way to get around this without running windows? Or to quickly repackage the folder into an apk?
It seems to do the same thing on my evo when I transfer the zip from my mac.
If I could open mediafire and other such sharing sites on my evo, I would, but they don't run correctly in my browser.
I appreciate the help.

Those site should work fine in your browser, may want to check into that. Anyways, don't open the file after you download. Just rename to a .apk file and you'll be good to go. Macs can screw up zip files like apks and update.zips, so definitely don't open it. Renaming always works for me. Then you can load it on your phone.
If your using Safari it will all ways do that unless you change your settings in preferences in Safari so it wont automatically open files. It is set by default to open any folder when you download hope that helps I have a Mac too

Thanks for the advice. I'll try all of that going forward.

[Mod]Ad free host file + hulu plus

Made this to have ad blocking and be able to watch Hulu on my gnex without having to revert from adfree every time I wanted to use Hulu. Just removed the lines that referenced Hulu.
IT IS ADVISED YOU MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE APPLYING.
Just rename "huluhost" to "hosts"
Backup original host file from /ect
Then move or copy new host to /ect
May need to delete cache/davlik

Just saw this when I went back a page. Glad to find an updated hosts file with a bit extra bite. :-D Mind if I add some stuff to it, and use it in my ROM releases? I WILL give you credit for it. :-D
will this work on any device?
Or just nexus?
Yessss, thank you!

Yea sorry. You have to rename it to hosts
Originally the OP said host
*OP has been updated*
Sorry about the typo. It should work once you rename it to hosts.
Does my Nexus have to be rooted? Aside from the ad's, I'm pretty happy with it the way it is. I can't find the /etc folder or a hosts file at all.

You need root.
@blue2107 the file is down.
FYI. Here is a the method I use, it will also keep your file up to date.
1) Use adfree to download latest hosts file, this will also backup your original
2) Copy the file to your sd card
3) Open the file with a text editor that supports "find and replace" function, I used Jota Text Editor
4) Replace "hulu" with something else, I use "nothulu"
5) Replace the ect/hosts file with the one you just edited
Let me know if you have any feedback or if you have any problems with this method.
Also I attached a copy of the file I am using.
Check out "AdAway"

It has a white list feature.
I have not used that feature myself, but the application is great.

Compress files

Hello,
I have an idea to make an App, and I have one problem, I have to upload one folder that its content have a lot of files and folders in order to upload to skydrive. I think that it is more easy if I compress the main folder and then upload this compressed file. How Can I compress this folder?
Thanks you

Hi dazza9075,
Thanks by your answer, but I thought the same, but I don't know how to use this, Can you explain about use of zip? Or, Where can I find information about this?
Thank you again

+1 for the idea... I also want a program like winrar which also available in symbian phones.plz any dev note this and develop an app for compressing and decompressing files...
WP will unzip zip files, make the sip, copy to sky drive, open via IE, it will then give you the contents of the zip,, it can't compress files to zip though. Technically there would be little point since docs auto sync to sky drive, and WP doesnt support anything else or file system access, but its doable for unlocked devices I suppose

Hi dazza9075,
Thank you by answer, I had thought that it isn't possible, because I want to compress a folder of other app that her content are a lot of files and folders. So, Do some api exist in order to compress this? Or, Have I upload files and folders one by one?
Thank you again
I think it's completely possible
sombody names Ego zheng,wrote an application. It is program manager.
u can repack your apps,and save apps data in a single .zip file.
i think he can do this
contact him for this idea.

its doable so long as you have interop unlock and WP tools installed and setup
if the Windows Phone SDK is missing Zip functionality (it may be called "DEFLATE" which is the name of the compression algorithm; ZIP is the file format) then there are surely libraries for various compression methods which you could download. Alternatively, if you don't mind using native code homebrew, there are compression libraries (zlib, etc.) that can be compiled to a native DLL, and you could then access them via COM.
i add this to new version of my file manager and now you can compress and decompress file and folders
Hi!
Thanks you by your answer, they have been very useful.
Thanks you
Hi again,
I'm using the lib "SharpZipLib" and I have problems with it. Can you explain how use it? or what is the problema? I probe in a program of pc and it working correctly but in app for my mobile say it crashed when it go to create the file, this is code:
FileStream fsOut = File.Create("Copia.zip"); //here is the problema at this moment
ZipOutputStream zipStream = new ZipOutputStream(fsOut);
zipStream.SetLevel(3);
zipStream.Password = null;
........
It can't create the file.
Thank you again
Generally speaking, Silverlight (which WP7 uses for apps) doesn't even allow normal file access, so you might just be getting a MethodAccessException on File.Create. If not, that still won't work without elevated privileges. The default working directory for a program is it's install directory. For a WP7 app, that's going to be either its install location (\Applications\Install\<GUID>\Install) or the Windows directory where the taskhost.exe file lives (\Windows\). Trying to create a file without specifying full path will crete it relative to the working directory, which in this case means creating it in the working directory directly (no path specified). Since the app can't write to the working directory, you'll get an error from that too.
To get around the permissions error, use the IsolatedStore folder (\Applications\Data\<GUID>\Data\IsolatedStore\) or run the app with full permissions ("Trusted" or root unlocked).

extracting files

can anyone point me in the right direction for a extractor every time i try to down load one i get all these stupid adds that i don't trust. Thanks
I use Root Explorer

I also use Solid Explorer. I love the two windows feature of this App.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer
Of course these Great Apps do more than extract files. ?
Fx file explorer
