Hi all!
This is my first Thread. I learned something interesting by myself and I want to share it with you.
I gonna teach you How to send Play Store apps to another Android device.
So if you have downloaded an app and want to send the app to another one, he doesn't have to download the full app from Play Store and use his mobile data or he doesn't has to be connected to WiFi or so.
Here are the easy steps.
1. Your device must be rooted.
2. Download root file manager ( File Manager that can access ROOT)
3. Your app that want to send to another device must be in Internal Memory!! If the App is in SD card then move to Internal Memory just to send and then you can bring the app back.
4. Access the Root and go to folder Data and then open folder App.
5. Now pick the App that you want to send and long press on the app and press Send via and select Bluetooth etc.
6. Now he will receive the apk. installation. He just need to install and done.
That's all! Hope I helped someone

You can also use an app like AutoAppOrganizer, which can automatically backup apps you install from Play Store to your SD card as apks. Just set it up and forget about it. it'll backup every app and save it.
In that way, even if you uninstall an app, you can install it again later or share it with a friends. Easy..
Hope this helps.
Cheers..

I'm trying to download an app from the samsung apps but it says i have no space left....... this is not true.

Did you by any chance do the first tweak to get rid of stalls/blackscreens? (Where you moved the data folder to the nand?). That can cause issues with installing some apps, for example asphalt, since it uses that location to download temp files...
yeah I did, its downloaded ok but won't install ?
if I knew where it was I could link it back to the sd card

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.

Titanium Backup has been installed since rooted on 2.1 but will have to check out atrackdog. Thanks for the help so far.

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.

*UPDATE* Hulu Plus is now officially supports on the Bionic, this method is no longer required but keep in mind this method works for multiple unsupported android devices.
So if you want Hulu Plus just go to the market ;-)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hulu.plus&feature=search_result
All Credit goes to this post, as i use this method for my Asus Transformer.
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?2526-FIX-Hulu-Plus-APP-working-on-CM7
Directions:
1. You Need Root
2. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it. Run it and aprove the superuser permission request.
3. Download this file http://goo.gl/MG2xh
4. Extract Zip and a folder labeled Titanium Backup with 3 files inside should appear.
5. Place those 3 files in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder (Keep in mind that Droid Bionic mounts its internal storage as /sdcard/ so you need to move those files into the internal and not your sd card)
7. Launch Titanium Backup, Backup/Restore, scroll all the way down and you'll see huluplus.
8. Restore app with data and enjoy HuluPlus!!!
UPDATE:
I forgot to add that you cant have Adfree installed on the phone, or any other modified hostfile program
I'm getting a message that my device is not supported with this app.
Is anyone else getting this or is there something I've broken in my device (damn near bricked it first day).
SCRATCH THAT; rebooted and all is working. Much thanks to the OP.
It works for me as well, thanks a lot dude!
Worked after a little while. Titanium backup was being stubborn for some reason. Thanks a lot!

I was having the same issues with TB finding the backup, had to uninstall Hulu+ and all my backups, then copy in the files and reboot before it loaded lol
On the good news, yes it is WAY worth it dept., this works over HDMI out!!!
i was able to successfully unzip, restore and run HuluPlus following the instructions provided.
But it needs a user/pass to access most options -- is this what others are getting too?
Yeah it's normal. The Hulu Plus app is only meant for paying members to my knowledge. The video is very high quality compared to what I get on Netflix most of the time.
I can't seem to get it to work. It launches, I can sign in, but when I click on anything to play I hear the audio but get no video.
Any ideas?

Hmm that's weird. Have you tried uninstalling and starting over? The only time I don't get any video on my phone in Hulu is when I'm doing mirror mode via HDMI to my TV.

Are you using Adfree or a similar ad blocking tool? If you are blocking ads, hulu won't work correctly.

Since I restarted my phone I have a problem with Polaris Office, namely, when I start Polaris Office it's asks permission to move it self to Application Manager in order to update itself. Problem is that there is no update. I tried cleaning cache, cleaning .apk folder, restarting my phone one more time but no luck.
Any idea how to fix it? :laugh:

Well, this is strange. I just removed my SIM card and now I can update Polaris Office. Also, when I remove SIM Card more apps are shown in Application Manager ( Email Widget, LG Smart World, Home Biz Theme, Home Cozywall Theme.... ) , but, as soon I put it back they disappear.
What is the latest version? Mine is 3.0.3290.0 - FV02 and tell me I already have last version.
If you have rooted your phone you can delete the application by rootappdelete from store or you can install root explorer & go to system/app then delete the polaris office.If you don't have rooted phone you can't uninstall it....

ok here is what I would do
http://androidcommander.com
download this file, connect your phone with adb debugging enabled. This program will find your device, from there you can open an extracted rom browse the rom until you find the HTC TV app and install it as a system app,
I did this for my evo 3d when devs took out the 3d widgets I used.

no if you double click the apk file for HTCTV another window will open, when you click install a third window will open and the last option is install as a system app, select that one and click install
this will chmod the app file as 777 allowing it be executed. I think your system is not set as rw and only as ro.

Neat app. Followed the instructions went exactly as you described, install was "successful" but nothing shows up in my app drawer. Rebooted to see if that would fix, still no dice. Im beginning to think downloading the full rom will be the best idea. If i do, would i need to wipe? I know i should wipe if going to a different rom but in this its the same rom.
