How do I install downloaded apk?
Quite a few different ways to do it. Step 1 of all of them is to install Nook Color Tools and uncheck and recheck "Allow installation of downloaded apks". Then you can install it from a filebrowser (astro, estrong, root explorer) or a program installer (easy installer).
Oh I need to uncheck and recheck? I saw it was checked originally so left it. I will try again
Perfect, thanks!

install???
How exactly do we install third party off the market apps??? I have apk extensions. now what???

I have seen on many users asking on forum what is .apk file ? How to install .apk app on G1 phone ? How to install non market apk apps on android ? etc. A apk file is “android package file” with the extension ‘.apk’ use to install any application on Google Android powered mobile phone. So incase you need to install any application on your android phone you need to have file with .apk format.
Installing any application on google android is pretty easy but installing non market apps on android phone is little tricky one. Well don’t worry here is guide for installing .apk apps on android phones.
How to Install .Apk Apps on Google Android G1 Phone
1. Install and open the Apps Installer application from the Android Market.
2. This opens a view showing *.apk application names in the sdcard root directory.(note, if no AppNames are listed you have no .apk files in the root directory of the SDCard)
3. Touch the app name to initiate installation of the app.
4. The app is now installed
How to Non-Market .Apk Application on Google Android G1 Phone
1. Download and install Google Android SDK.
2. Now type adb in a command shell will display all the options, adb.exe is SDK tool used to install applications and interface with the device.
3. Now Connect Your G1 Phone to your computer using USB cable. You need to install Drivers for this. Download Android USB drivers from here. This driver is required for adb to interface with an android G1 phone using USB cable.
4. Go to Settings/SD card & phone storage and Unmount/eject SD Card. You can enable it again later after you installed your third-party application.
5. Go to Settings/Application settings and enable Unknown sources.
6. Download the Application installer .apk file to a local folder on your computer, Now type below command at command shell to install app.
adb install <Full Path to apk file><apk file name>
The above guide is only application for windows XP users and Windows Vista users wont be able to use it, since android sdk for windows vista is not available.

I have Opera mini 4.2 apk in my files if you need it.

There's no such menu. i.e. "disable Use for USB storage" at "Settings/SD card & phone storage" in T-mobile G1.
To enable ADB, you'll need to turn on "USB debugging" in Settings - Application settings - Development.
Opera mini 4.2 beta is on marketplace now anyway.
actually, there is another way. download the app from the internet (either using Android or PC) and move it to the SD card. then download any file browser app (such as IO File Manager) from Android market. open file browser app and locate the downloaded app from the internet and open it. that's it...
Can you add Twidroid to the mix

Thanks for putting those files together. Can you add Twidroid to the mix?
Thanks!
this should b made a sticky
FYI: Opera is also on SlideME Marketplace. You can install directly from within SAM. It's under "Communications" category.
If you don't have SAM, just visit http://SlideME.org/sam2 from your G1 and download SAM.
help... please? lol
okay i've read through a lot of threads the past couple hours and i just can't figure this out. i can't install 3rd party apps using apps installer or a file manager, but i can install perfectly fine from the market. it tells me that i need to free up some space in order to do so. i have the box checked and such for installing 3rd party apps in settings, and i'm running JF1.42 RC33... what the heck could the problem [email protected]
might be a dumb question, but do you have enough space(mine starts complaining @ less than 5mb left)? menu-settings-storage-internal space.
try adb install, if previous post doesn't help
aye, i'm well above 5MB even without the /data/data move and the /app move, i believe i'm somewhere around 25mb if i keep everything on my phone. so you think the ADB install will fix this? i will have to try it when i get off of work, i don't think the DoD will take kindly to me using their computers for it lol. what thread is that listed under?
Very Simple to install downloaded apk apps!!!
1. Go into menu/settings/applications and check the box allow install of non-market applications.
2. Then download the app: ApkInstaller
Once you do this, you download the apk file from the internet. Save it somewhere on your memory card. Open ApkInstaller and search for the file on your memory card and install.
It's just that simple. I do it all of the time.
Have fun!
Install .apk
Through Terminal Emulator without adb or another install application (AppsInstaller):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3425442#post3425442
All these methods seem pretty confusing... All I do is just click allow third party apps and then click the .apk file in oi file manager.
If you realize when this thread was created, there was no file manager

My bad. Sure glad the file manager came out so I don't have to go through all that trouble .
I have rooted with the update.zip. installed android sdk and now trying to enable captivate app sideloading, but I cant' seem to locate busybox after i installed it. I used "Buysbox installer" and click in install and states buys box has been installed, but i can't locate it anywhere on my phone to start it up to continue with the enabling app sideloading. I am lost on what to do from this point, any help would be awesome. Thanks!
When I enabled sideloading I logged into to my phone through adb copied the system DB, used SQLite extension in firefox to switch the bit, and then pushed the DB back on the phone. Restart and done.
What method are you trying to use to enable sideloading apps? All busybox did for me was allow things like su, copy, etc in the shell through adb.

I was trying to follow these instructions.

How did you do this? Do you have step by step instructions on how you did what you did?
Thanks!
Thought you should be able to download busybox by itself from the market - or you could install Titanium Backup which will install it for you.
if busy box installer says its installed, then its installed. there is no 'app' for busybox. its in the system. that website is slightly misleading. i think they mean the busybox INSTALLER. open it and run the install/enable it. as already suggested, if you install titanium backup, it will check that busybox is installed and working properly

actually there is an APP icon for busybox that will show up in app drawer. If you want to make sure its installed just download it from the market...open the app and run the install...takes all of about 30-40 seconds.
I just ended up downloading root explorer and firefox SQLite manager and just copied the settings.db over to my sd card and changed the settings from 0 to one on the install none market apps, then copied it back the com.android.providers.settings and i am enabled now. awesome thanks!

Sorry I didn't get back to your post. Glad you got it to work. Good luck with the non-market apps.
Ok I followed GabrialDestruir guide and it went off with out a hitch.. Much thanks.
My question is I have some apk files I want to install when I try to install them they say that install is blocked (how do I get around this)
and when I try and plug my NC via usb I done see the system folder to be albe to place them in the app directory
1. Uncheck the install non-market apps box in "nookcolor tools", recheck it, try again.
1a. Same as above, reboot.
or
2. Install Astro file manager from market. Goto menu/tools/apps manager in Astro.
or
3. Install Appinstaller from market, try that.
You should be more specific in your thread subject btw.
I tried to install my first apk with different file managers, but when I tried to install it with help of Root Explorer without remounting to rw, it installed my apk.
Now I can install my apk files directly from download list of my browser.
thanks guys... for some reason just had to uncheck it and recheck it and it works fine now
A couple suggestions if you haven't done so already. Download ADW launcher or Launcher Pro. And to switch between home screens to test which one is better get "Home Switcher" from market. (it will let you revert to B&N home screen easily)
And "Quick Boot" in the market does wonders for a quick restart instead of messing with that weird power button.

I browse to where I downloaded the file from ES Explorer and click on the app, but I get that install failed? Any help? I like to use a stylus frequently, and with this latest ROM it is missing the input very frequently. I read that this app installed a setting or a switcher app to select between touch and stylus/

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.
System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

Hi, i have a Moto G and I did the OS upgrade ... now it has kitkat 4.4.2
After the upgrade, the Xposed Installer did not work anymore ... it was uninstalled apparently. I said "apparently" because some modules work.
So, I tried to download and install the last version of Exposed Installer ... but without success. The installer starts and run ... after some moments it says "App not installed".
I uninstalled all modules and tried again, but the Exposed Installer always shows "App not installed".
Can anyone help me ?
i had this problem before, you need any file manager and navigate to Android/data/ then you have to find the xposed installer folder and delete it then reinstall the apk

thank you so much for this !!
After upgrading to Marshmallow (Resurrection Remix) on S4 GT-I9500, the xposed apk file was not installing.
I had followed all instructions, proper .zip and .apk files, even clearing cache, etc. but nothing was working.
However, I found this solution on the net and it works!
xposed is active now.

After trying to post the message, I realised that since I am new to the forum I am not allowed to post external links.
But google "xposed app not installed" without the quotes and you will see the solution on a website (may be 4th or 5th from top) called mrad4tech.blogspot
This is what it says (credit to original author):
(1) Root enabled ES file explorer required
(2) Copy the not working .apk to system/app (retain the .apk file in original location for step 6, if required)
(3) Reboot phone
(4) You will see the application in the app drawer
(5) Try opening the app (this worked for me so I did not have to go to next step)
(6) If it force closes then install the .apk (in original location) now normally and it will work
