2 HOW TO UNZIP/EXTRACT ZIPPED FILES ON MOBILE PHONE.

A .ZIP file is a compressed collection of files or folders.
It can contain only one file or many files in multiple directories.

Zipping of files,is a great way of having hundreds of files in just one download.
But because many people find it difficult to unzip the files,they rather go for the .jar,.jad or .sis version of the files.

ZIP utilities allow you to extract a single file or the complete files from the compressed archieve easily.

To unzip a file,you need some softwares,such as Flie explorer,minicommander,centurion,Blueftp,etc.But personally,I prefer minicommander to all other FILEMANAGERS.

Now,to begin with the unzipping processes,you must first ascertain whether the files contained in the zipped file is a .sis or a .jar file,because if you are using a java phone and you unzipped a sis file,its going to write unsupported file.

In this tutorial,I will be making use of minicommander.(To make your work faster,locate the file manager in your phone,and go to the OPTIONS>>APP. SETTINGS>>then change everything to "ASK FIRST TIME").

After launching your minicommander,locate the file in ZIP format,then click on it until you get to the last place where you won't be able to proceed again.

Next,hold 6 to rename the file from .jar to _jar(in other file managers,go to the options and scroll down to rename)[e.g Operamini8.0.jar to operamini8.0_jar].

Having done that,press the "left soft key" to open another folder in the second row and then press 5 in the previous row to extract the file from the zipped file to the folder you just opened in the second row.

Note:-There are some other zipped files that are not applicable to this ,as you can't click on them.
Just rename it from .zip to _jar (i.eOperamini8.0.zip to Operamini8.0_jar).

When you are through with the extraction,exit the minicommander & locate the file you renamed in your phone without using a software and rename it back from _jar to .jar.

Your extracted software should work now;If you still don't get it,please leave a comment below..
