installing apps

im having troule installin apps from my sd..i download the app from xda..it comes in a zip..do i extract the files to appmanger or how do i find the apk file?? confused..
Unzip it. APK should be in there
Sometimes people will also just change the extension from .apk to .zip so you may just have to change the file extension.

Manually Installed dowloaded apps

Hi,
I'm customized my own rom with apps peviously get from market (Premiere, Dizzler, Vingtminutes, better terminal etc...)
Some of them are already in apk format, some others ( like Prermiere) are in zip format.
As I know that the apk and the zip format are quite the same I just renamed the zip to apk.
But after the reflashing the old zip files where not installed.
So I opened them to see that the folder META was not present. So I try re-signed them with the signapk pak, but the result is the same .
Can you help please?
Bye

[Q] Integrating a language with a ROM .zip?

Hi,
I have a ROM, for example Enomther's. and I also have the arabic language libs. how can I integrate the arabic libs into the ROM's zip file so I don't have to flash another zip for arabic libs? I have attached the arabic libs.
Bump! anyone?
Come on, what kind of answer do you expect?
Here's the answer: you need to substitute the files in the original ROM zip and resign it - that's it.
Now you're going to ask, how to do it, because you have no clue - and the explanation is a lot of work to try and put in one post, and setting up signing applications involves installing Java SDK and some knowledge. If you're asking the question you're asking - it seems like you're far from being skilled enough in Android depths to do what you're asking to do, and that's why you see no answer. After all, if you'd want to do it - you'd have to search anyway, Google "sign apk zip" and here you go, a lot of tutorials show up. And if you didn't search and posted instead - it speaks for itself.
By the way, there's no good reason to integrate the libs into a standard ROM, moreover - it's a bad idea. ROMs tend to be updated, and the work that needs to be done setting up the environment for signing APKs and ZIPs is way more than flashing one update right after updating the ROM to a newer version. And ROMs are updated quite often.
Yeah i'm not skilled. I'm trying to learn... I am trying to make my own customized ROM for my country's users. And I didn't mean editing ROM files, I was saying how to push the lib into the ROM zip so people don't have to flash the arabic zip lib when they flash my customized ROM. So I hope you haven't missunderstood my question...
Ah, I see, you want to customize and share the ROM. In that case, you have to have the setup I'm talking about. The update.zip contains folders and files, which directly replace the files in the same folders in ROM, so if you have a ROM zip - you need to replace those files. The easiest way would be just extracting your update.zip, opening a ROM zip in 7zip / WinZip / WinRar / etc, putting those extracted files from update.zip in the right place into ROM zip by drag-and-drop, and then resigning the ROM file.
Please do some googling as to how to sign ZIP and APK files. There are some pretty good tutorials.
I have done that before, and I replaced the lib file with the ROM default lib. it's libskia.so, but I think because I didn't know I have to sign it it gave me an error while flashing through recovery. so after I replace the lib I have to re-compress the file and then sign the zip right?
You don't have to re-compress if you replace the file without decompressing the original ROM archive, by dragging-and-dropping the file into the archive.
And yes, you have to re-sign the ZIP after any changes you make to anything inside it.
