I have some non-market apps that i downloaded on my computer. Is there a certain place I am supposed to copy the .apk on the phone or am I supposed to use a program? I've heard some thing about AppsInstaller but I am still not 100% sure about how the process goes. I've got the OCLF and Titanium back-up working so I'm pretty sure my root is good as well.

Go into the Market and search for "Astro". Its a file manager. Once you've downloaded it open it up and go to whatever directory that you saved the apk's to. Select whichever apk you want to install, and the default application installer should come up. Also if you have the Vibrant you could use the stock file manager. Hope this answers your?.

Thanks grid and Prasad. Downloading right now
I have the APK's from original stock ROM for froyo 2.2.
I've removed them from my phone using titanium backup.
I tried to install them back with terminal emulator+busybox. I dont' see it installed.
I used Android mate to go to /system/app and try to install the files from there but I get can't install message.
What gives?

You don't get a message telling you that you have installed something in system like you do when you install something from the market. After placing the apks in system/app reboot your phone and you should notice they have been installed...

I restarted but it didn't install the apps. I'm trying to explore why it didn't and where else could it effect the system.
I'm having trouble installing this...I'm using root manager, and placing the apk into the system/apps folder. When I click on it it says installation blocked. And the reason I'm installing, or trying to install nook color tools, is so that I can change keyboards. So I'm stuck in a maddening circle.
Anyone want to show me the light? I don't know why I'm having so many issues...rooting and installing other apks went flawlessly.

Mine is in data/app, not system. Maybe try putting it there....?
Did you try installing it from your SD, without putting it in the internal memory first?
Also, after putting it in data/app or system/app, you could try simply rebooting without installing via Package Installer, and see if it shows up in your app drawer.

That's the thread - should be in the first post.
Yes, it works on 1.0 too.
If you have problems installing other APK's. Find the "Allow Non-Market Apps" Checkbox in NookColor Tools (it's in the app drawer).
Uncheck the box, recheck the box. NC might need a reboot but it worked for me. I tried installing with Astro and Appinstaller and neither would let me until I did this little trick.
I just put the APK's in the Root of the SDcard btw.

Help!
I am in exact same boat as above. I rooted with 1.00 and cannot get nook color tools. I want to unlock permissions and be able to download third party apps. I tried to purchase root manager from market but would not let me purchase. It stated, my cc was invalid.
Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to purchase root manager and move nook tools to system/apps. when I try to install, it says's "installation of download apk's are not supported " . How can I change permission if it don't let me install nook tools.
I am stuck, too

Thanks. I was pulling my hair out to try to install non-market apps... Unchecking and checking it again worked.
(When I plug in my nook, I don't see a "system/apps" or "data/apps" folder to put apks.)
That worked.
Thank you so much for all of your help with that. I was so frustrated. Now I just have to get the other issues worked out. Searching the forum for those.
HELP!!! I'm going crazy! I've put the nookcolor tools 0.2apk on my sdcard, then using root explorer am i suppoused to copy, or move the apk from my sdcard to system/apps, or to data/apps? So far i've tried both & nothing, what am i doing wrong? I'm rooted with autonooter & the market works fine, i just need to get nookcolor tools. One more thing, when they say reboot, that means back out of root explorer, & manually hold down the power button, & then turn it back on right? quickboot does not work, so this is all i can think of =' (

copy it to system/apps. Rebooting means hold power button down till a prompt asking if you would like to power down the device comes up. Hit yes. Device is now off. Hold power button again till it starts up. Release power button. It's booting up again....hence the term rebooting.
It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.
free ones can be restored...
tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

You have to click the small window at the top of the screen in root explorer that changes r/o to r/w. You have to do that in each directory you want to edit.

on my original D1 I used to use clockwork recovery to flash files, What are my options now? I don't have safestrap installed just a rooted OTA updated droid.
Boot into safestrap after you download file and just install to whichever rom slot you are using. It works by the way, I just flashed it and have been playing with it. Kinda cool

no no, I DON'T have safestrap installed...how can I just manually flash a file?
To my knowledge, you need to have some sort of recovery installed to flash a .zip.
You could literally install SS3, run it and install recovery, boot into recovery, flash your .zip, reboot, remove recovery, uninstall safestrap.
Okay i installed it then booted into it but it won't let me install...do I have to mount my system or something?

Shouldn't have to mount anything. But hey, now that you got SS3 installed, you can install ROMs and not risk hosing your phone.
Maybe it's SS3 blocking installation of ZIPs to the primary system slot?
(anyone wanna chime in? i don't really mess with my stock system slot..)
I should ask, were you able to locate the .ZIP through the SS3 file browser? If not, look in the other SD folder.

I know the older versions of safestrap blocked flashing zips to the safe (stock) system. Makes sense that ss3 would work the same way. If you really like stock but want to be able to mod it you can always flash one of myfishbears stock roms to another ROM slot and mess with that.

flashed the 4.2 camera app. went to the front facing camera, it crashed the app. and since it remembers which camera you left off on, i'm now forced to reflash the zip. just a warning
Damn...I didn't really want to install a second ROM...my phone is virtually full as it is and i have a 32gb-ext sdcard....is there any other way?

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294523570 is a mirror I guess, it is saying that the file is 7. something mb where the one I originally downloaded is around 9mb... if you send me your email I can just email the original because 4shared apparently doesn't work anymore.
Also if I install this and my camera ****s up, what are my options to re install the original camera/gallery app? why can't I just install alongside?
edit if I were to just push the gallerygoogle.apk to apps instead of system apps wouldn't that be safer?

okay so I unzipped the file, found the .so files and the apk, then I put them on my sd card, mounted my /system/lib as RW , moved the .so files to there, then mounted /system/app as RW and copied the apk there, and restarted. opened up build-prop and changed the 2 lines saved. then looked for the new 'googlegallery' ...it wasn't there, so I went into /system/app/ and when I selected it it gave me the option to install..so I did...it went through the process and at the end said it wasn't installed....
