Try downloading the .apk file to your PC, then transfer it to your SD card and install it. I had a similar problem once, an application refused to install via Market, but when I downloaded it from Mobilism and installed it from my SD card, it worked.. Hope this helps!

before copying app, rename the extension of the original app into something that system can't read.
after that, u can copy it.
see if there's any change.

This happens if it is not signed properly. Use apk manager to extract apk then delete the folder META-INF . Then zip it and sign it.. then try to install this file.. installing via adb is better..

Either the file is corrupted or your sd-card has defects. Or maybe your SD-Card is full.
Try using other sd-card. If it persists, try extracting the zip file in PC, see if you can do it.

thanks for your reply
I went there, but it seems that in menu it wont give me a copy option, and even when i do get that option it says that i can't save it to SD card, what permissions do i need to set there, maybe this the problem? and is it permission per files of folder ?? how can i set the option to copy from root to SD ?
sorry for bunch of questions :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Just use the app Super Backup. Backup apps option will copy app apks to sd card.

I'm rather sure it was created in the same folder the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp was in and it's a zip file, there is no exe.
Probably yes but there was not really a problem you just need all the apk files and it takes some time but the result is very good and usefull.
My mistake, i was talking about the .jnlp file.
Btw i put in this paclage creator only the apk files and did not add any app folder.
I'm gonna try it again later on today. The first few try out the program worked pretty fast but no zip to be seen LOL. Lets see what will happen later on.
Sent from my ****** LGOB
Works flawlessly for me
:victory::victory::victory: YES, FINALLY. i made it :laugh::laugh: i think i know what was the problem. i didnt give enough time to create the .ZIP file. if would have waited for 20 secs longer on each earlier attempt, i would have had those files already. LMAO, i'm such a noob dang so stupid of me. well no i know to double check myself. hehe.

[Q] Problem with SDcard in recovery

Hey folks,
I've got a litte problem with the recovery menu and the SDcard. So I installed the "Revoltution HD"-ROM.
As you can see in the attachment, there is the .zip file listed. BUT I can't see and remove this file from my ONE.
I can also install this ROM again although it's not on the SDcard, or rather I can't find it.
You know what I mean? (Hope so because I am from Germany^^)
Thanks for help anyway.

its there you need to use root explorer to find it
I already tried that...Is there a way to check the SDcard from my PC, like using the CMD or another console?
what exactly are you trying to do?
I am trying to remove the .zip file from the SDcard...I can't find it when I am searching it over the phone.
So I thought it would be possible to do it from the PC. Got it?

Root your phone and try Link2Sd.

Take backup before doing this. all apps installed after this will go to SD card
1. Get the Google Android SDK
- Unzip the file and place the folder onto your desktop or anywhere that can be easily accessed.
- find the platform tools folder (default, it should be : adt-bundle/sdk)
2. - Open the folder called " platform-tools"
- shift+right-click anywhere inside the folder and choose [Open Command Window Here]
3. Go onto your Android phone and select USB debugging
- Go to [System settings > Developer Options] and select USB Debugging (if the option is grayed out, unplug your phone first)
4. Enter in the following
adb devices
adb shell pm set-install-location 2
adb shell pm get-install-location
5. - if you did it right, the last output should say: 2 [external]

1. I cannot confirm it will work
2. I am not responsible for any damages or loses..
Done that too and apps refuse to install, both from Google play, and apk files.

Hi guys
I am unable to move my apps to the SD card , apply the fix from the above link ,but this unroots the phone so i have to run the SuperSUv2.zip file again to root the device , please advice
I am unable to move apps to my sd card on Sony Z1 C6903
With ROM modified (ParanoidAndroid, Cyanogenmod, SlimKat, ecc...) it is possible move apps to sd without other application (FolderMount, Link2SD, Apps2sd)?
