When I try to download an apk from a different website, I get an error saying this file is not supported. Yes I have the non market installation checked.
If the website doesn't send the correct headers with the file them the phone doesn't realise it's an APK. Same happened on 2.1 normally on sites with download redirects.

Is that market application ?
Last I knewit was taken from the market. Just Google it
That sucks I'll just have to wait till tomorrow, no pc.
Here it is if you dont want to look for it.
astro worked perfectly, thanks for the tip

Does anyone know where i can get .apk apps from the computer and then install them onto my g1??
browse the forum, I know there is a website that lets you view the market and whatnot from your computer, I don't remember what its called but I know its there.
One site to check out what all is available (with ratings) is http://www.cyrket.com. You can't download from that site but at least it gives you a quick overview of what is available. There aren't any PC based options to download apps as of yet. (Unless you download an apk directly from a Developer's site) I did however hear that Google was planning on creating this functionality.

The file i downloaded was .apk
But i just dont know what to do with it...
sorry, let me clearify... the file you download is called "com.isaacwaller.youtubedownloader.apk.jar"... this does no good on the phone to install so i decompressed it so now its "com.isaacwaller.youtubedownloader.apk"... yet this is a folder now and not a file.apk.... so putting it on the sd and using an app installer doesnt do much when its a folder with the name only saying .apk... i need a file.apk so i can use an app installer, right? or am i way off? Think maybe because i use a mac has anything to do with it??? or does it need to be a dev phone? my phone isnt "unlocked," and im running rc33
but to answer your question Rescue7 if you do have a the file "com.isaacwaller.youtubedownloader.apk" and not a folder like i have... all you need to do is put it onto your sd card, then run an app installer. if you use linda file manager it will give you an option... if not use the application installer that you can download via the market

Yeah I figured it out. I just plugged my phone into my laptop, put it in "Games and Applications." then used Discover Pro. But thanks anyways. ^^

Hmm well I'm using a PC. And I don't have a dev phone, or an unlocked phone. Just a regular G1. Well why dont u just give it a try? maybe it'll work??
JLO: you're either going to have to download it using firefox or use right click + save as in safari, otherwise osx think's a zip folder and tries to decompress it as it downloads, which results in the .jar file.
Here is your application
GO TO THIS WEBSITE AND IT IS THERE. AND TELL OTHER PEOPLE CAUSE I WANT TO SHARE THIS APP WITH OTHERS CAUSE IT IS THAT GOOD.

IN ORDER TO PUT IT ON YOUR PHONE YOU WILL NEED TO USE APPMANAGER WHICH IS FREE FROM THE ANDROID MARKET.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5417
TRY IT OUT AND BE SURE TO SPREAD THE NEWS THAT IT IS FREE FOR DOWNLOAD AT THE FIRST LINK FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS THE PROGRAM.
solution
just go to keepvid.com from your phone to download youtube videos onto your phone from your phone.
simply just go to the video you want to download on the browser then hit menu then go to url the url is now highlighted on ur phone copy it by using (hold down menu button then press C on your keyboard) not the big menu button on the outside of the phone the button next to the Z key on the keyboard then paste the link to keepvid.com using (menu then V) for paste then download the mp4 walla use a video player to play the video u just got from youtube

I just thought I'd point out that you don't have to use firefox or save as.
Just delete the jar off the end of the filename. It does this when downloading themes also. So far, I haven't had any issues just deleting the .jar.

Pulled from Marketplace. The developer still offers it for download here:
http://www.siriusapplications.com/ytd/
Ooops... seems it isn't available for DL on the website either. It was a free app, so I can just post my backed up apk file in here when I get home tonight.

i thought astro file manager had the same capability within itself as download crutch...guess not! i will give that a go see what happens
Linda file manager will help you with this
anyone know where I can download this app, i found it on the Androbin_R_ ROM.
Have you tried taking it from the ROM itself? Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Just checked market, there is one called Custom Car Home,... any good?
Apparently Froyo has it built in,... try extarcting it from a Froyo ROM aswel,... Worth trying enit?

Thanks for taking the time to reply...
it is, but I am just not technically able enough to take it from the ROM,, i would not know where to start.....
Download the Rom you want.
Extract it on pc.
Navigate to system/app/
Copy the apk you want to your sdcard. I think it could be called carhome.apk.
Having the apk on your SD.
Open it with e.g. Linda file manager.
If it works with this Rom it installs fine.
Another way is using adb.
But that doesn't differ in what you get.

Yeah its not hard,....... XMASKX is bang on,....
Download the Rom you want...... Androbin
Extract it on pc...... Using WinZip/Winrar/7zip

Having the apk on your SD.
Open it with e.g. Linda file manager.... I don't know if that is free or not, an alternative is Astro File manager from the Market.

A side note,... In Settings --> Applications --> there is a tick box to allow install of applications from unknown sources, tick that.

What does it say when you try,... Give error details, someone might be able to help you,... I haven't had much luck in the past to be honest.
I need an app that will allow me to text 30-50 people at a time (more would be nice too). I had text flooder and that app worked well but can't find it in the market anymore.
I know there are a number of text apps. But I'd like to see what you guys are using.
Handcent has a group message function that might work for you.

Here you go.
Haven't installed an apk file yet. I googled and these are the directions I got...
To install APK applications on your Android phone do the following:
1.Copy the APK file you want to install to your phone's memory card and insert the card into your Android phone.
2.Go to Android Market and search for the Apps Installer application.
3.Open it and click on the Install button.
4.After it is installed, just open it. It will show you all the APK files stored directly in the root directory of your memory card.
5.Just click on the application you want to install and it will be installed.
This is the easiest way? And I noticed there are a lot of apk installer apps in the market. Any particular one better than another?
I just put the apk files on my SD card. Using file manager navigate to the file and click on it for it to install. I'm root and sideloading enable.

So save file to laptop and then hook USB cable up and copy/paste? Or is it possible to use my Captivate to come to this page, click on the file, and have it installed that way?
Do you have a specific file manager you use?
