I've been trying to get a new rom on my phone, as I have a cyanogen right now. But everytime I download the zip files they're not zip files. The icon is a java icon, and I can still extract. When I push the files to my sdcard and try to flash the rom, the phone doesn't recognize it as a zip or any file at all.
Edit: They are downloading as jar files. What do I need to do to make them zip files?

I am trying to take a keyboard that somebody made into a flashable .zip file, and implement it into a rom that I am working on. What I did was flash the .zip through cwm, then found the apk, backed it up, and then placed it in the /system/app folder on the new rom. The problem is as soon as the rom boots, I get a force close error. So I took a look at the .zip file, there are two folders meta-inf and system. inside system there is an app folder and lib folder. My question is can I just take the apk and lib file out and place them directly into /system/app and system/lib on the new rom? and if so do i need to do anything with the META-INF folder? any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
thanks
the META-INF folder may have some script that does some other manipulation of the filesystem or runs helper apps during installation. See what's in META-INF/com/google/android/update-script.
Anyone have have a copy of the decompressed sd bootable el30, I am not sure how to decompress a .tar, and also not sure I could do it at work?
Thanks
I don't think you are supposed to decompress the .tar, you can just flash the .tar straight into ODIN
I am referring to http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html You can book el30 from your sdcard, no need to do a restore and stuff like that, it has a tar.bz file, I am not sure what to do with
You could open the tar with winrar or something similar and extract it, but I'm not sure if it would hinder it in anyway.
use winrar or 7zip to open the .tar.bz file (it's similar to a .zip file)
extract it to your pc (desktop is fine)
copy the "multiboot" directory from your desktop (or wherever you put it) to the ROOT of your SD card
when you want to boot into it, go into recovery and flash multiboot/EL30/boot_EL30.zip
when done, just reboot normally and you will be back into your normal os
Its going to be a big file idk if you want to download that or wait for an upload

I can go into recovry and conect to adb. someone have the write file or way to solve this problem.

Thanks
I found the right file
How can I use adb to delete the file on the device and push the new one?
edit
I understand that I cant go into this folders with the adb beacuse it says I dont have perrmision/ and I maybe need flashable zip file. how I do flashable zip for this file?
Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...
thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours
I attch it . Credits to its maker
works perfectly! thanks
