All,
I am trying to figure out the easiest way to sideload apps. For now I'm trying to get Google Earth to work right and I also have the apk for angry birds.
My NC is 1.1 Autonooter 3.0. Zeam Launcher and I have Astro.
I wish I could just use the market - that way I could get updates automatically. Is there a simple way to get the market to update so I can just use the market?
I have tried appbrain - and it does not seem to work.
Otherwise, can I put the apk anywhere and just point astro to it? Where do you guys put your apks (sd, internal)?
Thanks much for your help!

I went from stock ROM 1.0.1, sideload 1.1 update and the Autonooter 3.0.0 and have market working.
In your case, checkout dropbox.com. I upload all my apk to dropbox and then on my NC, just download and install.

I have dropbox. Thanks for the tip. What do you use to install? Astro?
Appbrain has been blocked by Google because of Googles new web based market
You can always Google apk's or yes sideload them through dropbox or titanuim backup from another device.

I did not know that Appbrain was blocked. Thanks!
I can get the apk onto my NC via dropbox or just mounting it to my MacBook. But, where should I put them and what app do i use to install? Can I put them anywhere (like make a folder for them) and just point the app (like astro) to them? On SD or on internal (does it matter)?
...anybody knows how to install Android Market on this system?
What I have is the Market 3.3.11 version. I was able to install but it just exit when the market app asked me to add an account. My Dell Streak 10 Honeycomb version is 3.2. I'm new in this android field, so rooting is kinda scary for me.Thanks in advance.
I've managed to install the tab market by just flashing finsky.apk and googleservicesframework.apk from the s7 roms, you can browse but I cant actually download stuff.
But I didnt install them into system/app, I only merely flashed them like normal apks, I assume googleservicesframework has to be in system/app to function properly.

Just a thought, was the apk's permission changed or reset in system/app? ..lol
Dell streak 10 market
The Android market doesnt work on mine too but install Amazon Android Market that will work perfect and youll have all the apps u will find on the regular Android market.
I can't get google play music to install. At first I was getting an error that the previous package was not signed. Please uninstall previous version. But I could never find it in my apps to uninstall. I manually deleted music.apk from system/app folder. Now I get an error that says the application is already installed but I can't find it anywhere. How can I manually remove this app without have to wipe my Xoom?

You uninstalled the basic music app. Not qoogle play music.
If you don't use the basic android music app, I'd just leave it out. With a file explorer like Root Explorer, go to data/app and find the Google music app. That is the one you need to remove. Delete the apk file and then go to Google play and install Google music. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response. I went there, but I don't have a apk for music or google play music
Any other thoughts?

So I have google play music on my phone also, and I cannot find an apk for that either in data/app. Could there be another location for the file?
Do you have a tibu for your tablet?
I cannot think of any other location
Are you running ICS?
If so you might have Google music disabled.
You can find it in all apps in settings on the bottom of the list.
If that's not the case, verify that it is deleted from system/app and data/app. The file name is com.google.android.music-1.apk

I know this thread is over 3 months old, but I ran into this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus after updating the custom rom I am running. To fix it I downloaded the Google Play Music app from here, renamed it to com.google.android.music-1.apk, then used my file manager app (File Expert) to copy it from my Download folder to the /data/app directory. After changing the permissions on the APK to match the others in the same directory, I rebooted my phone to a working Play Music application. Hopefully this helps someone who also experiences this problem.
Anyone know how to uninstall the google play store from rooted Kindle Fire HD?
I click on the app in the app drawer of KFHD, it seems like its hidden in the system folder and I am not sure what to remove from the system folder.
I want to uninstall it as it seems that the play store cannot detect my location and it only shows limited amount of apps (probably because it couldnt detect my location)
Titanium Backup is probably the easiest way to do it. You can download it from the Play store, but if it's one of the apps that aren't showing up for you, then you can find it on their main website too (you can download the APK there). I'd link you, but I haven't reached 10 posts yet. It should be the first result if you google Titanium Backup. If you want to get rid of it and everything associated with it, I believe you need to remove Vending.apk, Gplay#.#.##.apk (or Play), and GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

Pretty much spot on. But I just want to add that you'll also have to delete the dalvik cache before it completely goes away.

use a file explorer like es explorer go to settings give it superuser permissions go to the folder you saved it in and delete it
Your all wrong. Listen to how i did it.
So all u need is to use es file explorer. So u want to go into /system/apps and delete any previously installed google play stuff. Then go and find com.android.vendor.... I dont remember which folder this was in. Delete the file com.android.vendor... now ur finished... im thirteen and i am great at things that use roots:good:
So I sussed out the steps to root the Nook HD+ and got Gapps running.
Some apps, Google Play says " aren't compatible with your device." It's been suggested to 'sideload' them.
Googling how to do this, it seems like a PITA but I followed thru.
Basically, I had to run a program called "ES File Explorer" and have it find an already installed version of WordHero on my phone.
I took that APK, put it on my Google Drive, then loaded it on the Nook HD and it works.
Is there a more direct way to get the APK from Google Play? Or, is my route going to be to pull it from my phone via ES File Explorer and put it on the Nook HD+?
Bonus Question: Will apps that are side-loaded auto-update correctly?
Is there a known source for the Chrome APK ?

Another source of free apps is 1mobile.com. It installs an app very much like Play Store and will let you download and install them when Play Store might not.
If Play Store said it was not compatible and you sideloaded it, I doubt it will auto-update.
