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.

anyone have any File Explorer suggestion? it must be as good as Root Explorer but only access Internal & External SDCard and without root permission.. it's very dangerous if my little brother play with the system file (who knows?)
because I'm using CM9 and the OI File Manager is so stupid and poor..
thx in advance..
Astro file manager, es file manager (do not enable root explorer mode) or the stock file manager from samsung should do you fine...
Solid Explorer!

+1 for ES. I have been using it since it first came out. It's very good, the 1st thing I restore after factory reset / reflash.
_____ W + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
Solid Explorer-it's very powerful

Try X-plore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5sb25lbHljYXRnYW1lcy5YcGxvcmUiXQ..
It has the option to allow or disallow SU root access.
I recomend ES too it's free and adless, and it looks very elegant (especially the icons)

Great Day!
ES File Explorer work like Root FIle Manager
I prefer the stock one. Hehe

Maybe Filemanger by CyanogenMod Project
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
my opinion... is x-plore.
iam using it since iam using symbian phone (n81-n95) its the best file explorer... it can open apk as zip, open rar file, create zip, superuser permission, hex viewer, show hidden, edit permissiom, create/edit teks, has dedicated audio, picture, video player. and yeah...

Explorer or RootExplorer is the best.
Es explorer, highly recommended

Grant root permissions to your file explorer and Mount system. These can be enabled in the settings of your file manager.

Open the zip file, and then delete it in there before you flash it over.
