Mass text application - Captivate Themes and Apps

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?

I really liked youtube downloader. i wiped my phone and lost it. its not on market and has been pulled from the site.. is there any way i can get it or a program that can do the same function. i really liked that program. HELP
http://www.mediafire.com/?u5my4uijzke
This is a free app so I hope I dont break any rule here!
thats odd Google pulled it...I swear I just downloaded an update for YouTubeDownloader...
its still on my G1...I dont use it much so i wont miss it...
Hi, I'm new to this stuff.
Can someone please help me on how to put this on my phone?
Does it have to be rooted? I would really appreciate it, i love this app and miss it very much.

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.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5415
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:

Need help on .apk

hello, im really new on this thingy.
I have downloaded some free apps and its file extension is .apk
how will i install that in my G1 Android?
i downloaded the files using PC not my mobile.
You need to go "Settings>Applications>" and check the "Unknown Sources" box.
There are a few ways of getting them to install.
Most people will copy them to the SDcard by USB cable. (I have a /APKs folder). Then you need to use a file manager to select them (search ASTRO or Linda in market).
The other method I use is putting them in my "/htdocs/G1" folder on my local server, so I have a bookmark pointing to "192.168.0.2/G1" on my G1 and just visit that in the browser, you can then launch the installer from the downloads screen.
Edit: Oh and the other main way if you cannot do either of those, would involve downloading the SDK, setting up your path and drivers and issuing the install command from your PC.
What i do and i got this from youtube so i dont know if there are easier way
make sure phone is setup to install Unknown sourses you can do this in settings,Applications and have a tick next to unkown sourses
mount sd card...
copy .apk file to sd card
unmount card
goto market placed and install linda file manager..(i think astro file manager is as good but ive never used it)
Open Linda File Manager and press SD Card ...it should show a screen that should say complete action using google mail + Linda File Manger press linda File manager option
click on the apk you want to install.
it should show a screen with a option saying package installer click it
you should get a screen with a install button
press install
and that it..
AndExplorer v1.0BETA3 <-- can i use this? coz for now i dont have wifi in my place.
i got that from here http://slideme.org/application/andexplorer
but my problem is how will i install this?
get appsinstaller from the market.
It will search your sdcard and give you a list of .apk files just tap one to install it
so when i will install the installer the sd card must be unmount for it to be placed on phone.. tnx btw to those replies
is there any good apps that i can download? i want the nice ones but for free xD

Just put the .apks on your sd card either in a folder or on the root (it don't matter). Then download either appinstaller or linda. Check install from unkown sources like they said in previous post. Open up app installer or linda, find the apk then install. Its pretty cut and dry.
ok tnx, uhmm any good apps / games u can refer to me? xD
have you checked to see if the app that you downloaded is available on the market. AndExplorer, for instance is available in the market for free. This can be installed without any extra files or help. Perhaps you can check the market for other files to install on your thingy.

Car Home

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.

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.

I have attached the app....
Thanks all

camera zoom fx, where is apk?

goings nuts. dug google for an hour, run search with root explorer, dug around on xda, turned phone upside down - but no luck. its not in data/app, system/app, cache/download, sdcard/download, to name some. its silly that single apk could be buried god knows where on android.
really run out of ideas where to search. any suggestions? thanks.
Probably in /sdcard/.android_secure then.
Check if it's installed on the sdcard in the program manager. If it is you can move it back to phone storage, which *will* be in /data/app.

nice suggestions - thanks trym!
but no. it's not in .android_secure and it's not installled on sd. should be in data/app but no.
Are you sure you're looking for the right name? Remember, the filenames in /data/app need not even resemble the name of the app.
However, should be easy to find anyway.
Uninstall the app.
List the contents of data/app
Install it
List contents again and find the extra filename.

sure, i'm not quite certain what string to look for aside of obvious "zoom" or similar. however, when listing /app directories, the root browser displays the app icons so it's not hard to identify what's what but i just cannot locate it anyway. but thanks for effort!
Turns out I'd actually bought this app, sorry for not remembering. Installed it, mine is named "slide.cameraZoom-1.apk"

He's right. Check for the above file name. In /data/app over here.

i also bought it, but it wasn't in data/app.
anyway, status report: after last update from play store day ago it appeared in data/app under upper mentioned name. copied apk finally. where it was before the update remains a mystery.
Dont know whether its a nice suggestion or not
But if u r a root user dn u can download root app delete from market and in that just click on the app it will show u the destination of the apk.

Just like Samsung phones, the sounds are both in the ui folder and inside the apk. You need to replace apk to stop remaining sounds. So in short, yes it gets rid of the sound

copy and paste with droid manager. also if i deleted the camera apk if wont let me copy another one in the system/app i guess i will reset and try again unless there's a way to restore the original without resetting the watch.

Sounds like you have a permissions problem? Do you have root? Perhaps try replacing on device with root browser (or similar)
