extract .rar files onto evo?

I never had any trouble extracting rar files on my hero was kinda slow but it did the job but now I've tried a bunch of file managers and none will extract .rar files does anyone know of an app that will actually extract them on the evo

Try Androzip. It's free on the market.

maybe its the file i downloaded, but it does not work. keeps saying something like rns...

It doesn't work

anything New?
Anything new, would love to be able to open rare files.

I could swear androzip works for extracting .rar. I think I've even used it before, and the description says it does .rar. I can't try right now unfortunately.

I have used androzip to extract rar before and it worked just fine. I think that astro file explorer will open rar's atleast, just don't think it can extract.

Just use something like es file explorer then to move the files into your Android folder the same way you would on your pc, EXTREMELY straightforward!!!

The dev folder isn't needed for anything other than devs from what I remember, all you need to copy is the root folder (this goes in the android folder eg SD/Android/Root) and replace your existing zImage with the one included, simply put extract all minus the dev folder

[Q] Icons

Say I like the icons on one CM9 ROM and want to use them on another, any way I could locate them and save them to the SD? If so where are they located? I've been looking through my root files, and haven't found them. Thanks.

One way to retrieve the icon, is to pull the apk for which ever program icon you want and using 7-Zip (or zip program of your choice, to open apk in another zip program you must rename from .apk to .zip. 7-zip automatically recognizes apk files as an archive, which is nice. ) , open the apk and look in /res/drawable-mdpi and find the icon and copy it to your device.

S4 (i9505) and the program Android Commander

With my former rooted S2 I was perfectly able to connect it with my desktop and the program Android Commander recognised it. I used that software to transfer files to the root folders.
Now I have a stock-rooted S4, I wanted to use Android Commander again. But alas, it doesn't recognise my phone.
I don't have any clue as to what is causing Android Commander to not 'see' my S4.
I would like to know if anyone is able to use this software with their S4.
Or if anyone has an idea how to fix my problem.
Thanks.

You have to update the ADB counsel on bin folder
Steps:
1- Download View attachment bin.rar
2- Extract with replace to all 4 files on bin folder "C:\ProgramFiles\Android Commander\bin" or "C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Android Commander\bin" if you have windows x64.
3- enjoy using Android Commander:good:
Note: either change the folder security to add permission for everyone to allow winrar to extract and replace the files directly or extract the rar file outside (i.e. desktop) and simply copy and replace the files.
If it help you, please hit thanks below:good:

Thankyou very much dear,,, its working fine after update bin folder...

This helped me with AC not recognizing the S4.
Anyway, how do you get it to obtain root access? On the Xperia I had to use an app called ADBD Insecure, but it doesn't seem to work on the S4.

connect youy phone to your computer. In TWRP mount the USB storage. On the computer the sdcard will be mounted. Open the data.ext3.win file with P7ZIP or an other archiver.

it's a TAR archive perhaps try to change the extension

Didn't work either. Moved the file to my ubuntu server and tried tar -zxvf, errored out. changed the extension to tar in windows, cannot open file. Oh well, I just ended up using root explorer to copy the entire data directory to my SD card and pulled it from there. Thank you though!

as you have P7ZIP i suppose you are on a Linux system. P7ZIP is able to open TAR file but only if you have install the fulle version of P7ZIP. On wich distribution do you are ?
