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'm having some trouble getting apps onto my phone. I use the Android SDK to run an emulator at the 1.5 level which has the android market app. I use the android market on the emulator to install apps onto the emulator. I backup those apps on the emulator using Astro and I then use adb to pull the backed up app (apk file) onto my PC.
After this I use adb to push the apk file from my PC to the SD card on my phone. I use Astro on the phone to navigate to the file and install it. At this point a progress bar appears and the screen says "Installing..." but it never finishes. I've waited over an hour and still nothing. I get the same result if I place the apk file on the internal memory (/) instead of on the SD card. I even tried installing directly from my PC using adb and it just sits there.
I'm running Android 2.2 on my phone. I tried setting up a 2.2 emulator with the market app on it but was having some difficulty. Somehow I don't think the emulator should make a difference though.
Any help would be appreciated. For you guys out there without data plans, how are you getting apps onto your phones?
Btw I have the phone set to allow installation of non-market applications.
No takers? I know there's gotta be some people out there without data plans. Hopefully I can figure this out as I don't want to have to go back to Windows Mobile.
In case it matters, I'm using the ROM and Jan 14 240x320 nbh file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738612.
adb install <filename>
hey guys, just switched from X10 ---> SGS2 ---> Note.
just wanted to know, is there any apk installer software that can install .apk files from pc straight to phone?
Coz, with X10 there is software called Flashtool that you can install apk files straight to you phone.
Thx

It is called 'Android Injector' You may find it somwhere on XDA
Yes the "Android Injector" will allow you to install apk from the PC.
Make the the "Other Sources" tab under application in the setting is checked.
If you are connected to the Phone via USB, then why do you need the "Injector"?
Just copy the apk into the SD card and then from Astro or other file manager get the apk and click on it to install. Again the tab "Other Sources" must checked.
The advantage of the 2nd method is that you keep a copy of the apk in an apps folder and can always reinstall from there if the need arises.
Hi,
How can I install an app(not my app) on Windows Phone 8.1 emulator ?
I've tried to sign in into marketplace, which worked. But then, when I'm trying to install any app it fails with:
"There is a problem completing your request. Try again later. Inquiring minds may find this error code helpful: [email protected]
Then I've tried to download xap from Maretplace and deploy using deployment tool.
While emulator started, I've tried to deploy xap and got:
Error - End of Central Directory record could not be found. - which I guess something related to a zip stream. Maybe not.
Guys, do you have any clue ?
P.S. In general my goal is to run an app on emulator and make it think that it is at different location.
Thanks
You can't. Apps in Windows Phone store are either native code for ARM, or manage code compiled to MDIL (machine dependent intermediate language), which works only on ARM as well. As you know, the emulator is x86.
The deployment tool can't sideload apps from the store, because Store apps are encrypted with a DRM scheme that is not supported for sideloading.
don't know if it will work on emul but sideloading some downloaded store appx apps (wp8.1) will work , because the wp8.1 app's aren't encrypted.
here is a link on how to do that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...8-1-creating-deploying-appx-packages-t2807743
remember that not all apps will work because of capabilities store apps can have and sideloaded apps doesn't support.
Hi,
I was able to extract an App from a Windows Phone 8.1 Image. The app consists of the *.xap file and the *license.xml. However I'm not able to deploy it to my working phone. Is there a trick?
Thanks
copy to sdcard and install from store. Or click from file manager.
I tried that. I also tried to deploy the apps, it's not working.
