Droid X wont download zip files?

Is there any way to get rid of this restriction with the zip files and other files as well.

Hi,
I don't know of a native method of removing that restriction, but the free app Byte Tornado downloader integrates with the browser and allows almost any file to download directly to the phone.
I hope that helps.

Down Droid on market. Just a download manager. Nothing else.

download Astro from the market or appbrain then you can download zip files and extract the apk files from the zip. It's also a great utility app to manage files and backup applications.

I use opera browser to download files. It how's never given me any problems.

Sadly the stock browser restricts a lot of downloads: .zips (and many .apk's if not all).
Probably there to "protect" itself.
But any third party web browser
(Dolphin HD or Opera) can do those kinds of files.
That is if you don't wish to use a download manager app.
Hope this helped someone!

did u unecm them? are the bin files?
Edit just first select the bios file in the settings in psx4droid, then select a game file should work let me know if you have issues, i have it running no problem..

Yes game roms are bin
And its bit confusing as there is only one place to select bios in settings
So if I understand u correctly, i'm suppose to first select bios and then rom in same place by going back right?
I'll try it and let u know

use 7zip on pc to unzip... thats what created the 7z, and is better than using winrar or winrar IMHO.. 100% free

Ohh sorry for confusion but I was talking about unzipping 7z on phone I use 7zip on computer

Yea it shows unzipping at the end of operation I get ecm file around 10-20 mb no larger even if it works it has maybe low internal space issue but i'm not sure just my 2 cents

What about the bought one i wonder if that has a file limit as well?

ECM is another file compression method, commonly found in PSX roms. You will have to undo the ECM compression to convert the file to .bin or .iso. You will have to use the ECM converter from this link - www.neillcorlett.com/ecm/.
It is not recommended to unzip files using android market apps, use the computer instead.

In due time, my friend. Remember when a 25 MB hard drive was the side of a refrigerator about 30 years back?

Any way to pull the Gallery app off of my tab and load it on my phone?

I love that the Honeycomb Gallery app allows for caching Picasa photos offline. I have yet to find a phone app that does it. Would it be possible to pull the app off my tab and load it on my phone? If so how?
Thanks.

You can extract it from the deodexed ROM in the development forum and try that. Download the ROM, unzip, find the apk and load it onto your phone's SD

great idea i will try that now. thanks.

Didn't work. Phone says it can't open it as an apk file.

Is your phone rooted? If so, back up your existing gallery sol (just in case), then use a root file explorer to move the new gallery into /system/app

Website For All Kinds of Files

I ran into this website and i cant stop using for everything....... it called filecrop.com.
You can download anything from Rom files for games to Odin. Just an overall great website with megaupload, rapidshare, and hotfile links.

I prefer filestube, but file crop does come in handy in certain occasions

Are they .jar files. If they are then you can use Izarc. I'm assuming she has widows. If she has a Mac let me know and all give you special instructions for it. I have windows and izarc works wonderfully
