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
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!
Hello great community. I have a yakju version of Galaxy Nexus and my case goes like this :

1. The ES File Explorer is set as the default application that is opened when you want to select a ringtone.
Go to Settings, Apps, ES File Explorer, then press clear defaults. It should now ask you which application you want to use to select a ringtone.
2. You will have to do this again manually, unless you have your contacts on google or another service.
3. I'm not sure about this. Try deleting them by connecting to a PC.
4. You need to use a new version of SuperSU, I've attached it in this post.
Enjoy Jelly Bean!

Thank you very much! I have another question about the attached app. It's a zip file which contains META Information and binaries in a System folder. So i have to place the binaries at the right place in my phone (obviously at /system/xbin , /system/app ) right? And the META folder goes where?

No do not extract the Zip file!
If you have ClockWordMod installed simply boot into it and use install zip file command from it, and locate the zipped file (on your phone memory).
If you do not have CWM, use fastboot to boot into CWM (you can find that information on some other threads), and install the zip file from there.
Follow these steps: (except with the above zip file)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123
You have to copy over the zip file to your phone first, then boot into CWM, and install the zip file.

All Good! But i noticed another "problem" now.. in my Gallery i have a folder named "imageDownloader" who contains 700+ photos. I delete them all and after reboot it exists again. What is that anyway?
update: The images belongs to a folder named "07-11-2012_21-01" , it seems to be cached data of the app "Thumb". This folder is created by the backup, is located in sdcard and i can't delete it, even through my pc.. i don't know why :/
Unable to connect to Wireless N-only or 5GGz networks after update
I've been unable to connect to my home network on either band in the 'N' mode since updating to Jelly Bean. I have no problems seeing both networks and it says they're "saved", but when I click connect, it doesn't proceed to "authenticating" or obtaining an IP address.
I've tried several Custom ROMs with the same result, and I've never had this problem with any ICS versions and can regain connectivity by rolling back the update.
I've tried low-level troubleshooting (no network encryption, MAC reservation, multiple reboots, etc.) with no luck. I'm currently forced in a mixed N/G mode on 2.4 GHz to use my Wi-Fi.
There have been occasional reports of this over the last year or so on various platforms, but I'm wondering if there's any software/files, etc. that can be tweaked or looked at to see where this issue is manifested.
I cannot delete some files located in my /sdcard. I tried through "Root Browser" , through my PC... nothing worked :/ Any help please?

SD card ??
I'm having the same problem of being unable to delete some files off the internal sdcard. Anyone figure out a solution yet?

I recently tried a tethering hack I found on here after installing the Android 4.3 OTA update. The thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732262&page=11. The specific hack I used was from user BlvJohn. He created a flashable zip file and I flashed it and afterwards my phone failed to boot. My phone is rooted and running TWRP recovery (latest version).
Steps I completed:
1. downloaded zip file to flash to desktop computer
2. made a copy of the file and renamed it to org_no_tether.zip
3. opened org_no_tether.zip so I could delete the new framework-res.apk file
4. copied my phone's current framework-res.apk file to the org_no_tether directory I created when unzipping file using droid explorer to access file
5. rezipped org_no_tether directory to org_no_tether.zip
6. placed both files on my external sd card
7. flashed
When I rebooted it just hung during the AT&T boot animation sequence. I tried wiping the cache, user data, dalvik cache, etc...to try and get it to boot to no avail. I ended up just having to reinstall the ROM using a zip file I found on these forums and everything runs great now. The file I used to reinstall the ROM via recovery was loserskaters found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18http://. Everything works great now but I'd still like to get the tethering hack.
In the instructions it said to copy the file to the external sd card so that's what I did, but what I'm wondering is if I was supposed to copy it to my sdcard instead where I place all other files to be flashed? I just wanted to be sure I didn't do something else wrong before I go through this process again and end up having the same result.
Thanks a lot for any help!
I want to install the 3.32 OTA so I had to restore my phone a bit. Last time I did this was about a month ago, and I must be forgetting something... but I cannot run the OTA because of problems with the build.prop file.
I flashed the default recovery and uninstalled one app that I know tweaked the system by modifying the build.prop file, however, this didn't work. The log still says "unexpected content in system/build.prop".
I have uninstalled 3 or 4 other apps that I suspect may modify the build.prop file and turned on the SuperSU logging to make sure I wasn't missing any other app which was getting root permission to modify it.... I thought I found them all. However, I just tried running the OTA for the third time, and it still shows that the build.prop file has been altered.
I know I could download the OTA, modify the updater script, then copy it back to the phone, but before I do that I wanted to just get a default copy of the file. What could I download (i.e., a RUU, a stock nandroid, etc.) that I could unpack to get one??
Thanks!
This is a tough one. The OTA only has the patch file so that is out. You can unpack the RUU but then you get disk image files. If you can figure out a way to unpack the .img files, I'm guessing would be in there.

Thanks for replying... I must have had a brain tumor for breakfast yesterday because there was already a backup copy in the system folder. I don't know how I missed it.
