install???
How exactly do we install third party off the market apps??? I have apk extensions. now what???
Credits go to: Blogsdna.com
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):

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

Apps Installer
1) Install Apps Installer (from Market)
2) On your computer, download the apk of the application you want to install
3) Connect your phone to the PC and mount the SDCard
4) Put the .apk at the root of SDCard
5) Run Apps Installer from your telephone
install "ES File Explorer" from market (free)
search for your package and click it.
"ES File Explorer" chooses software is needed for application
@be0ne
@restecool
There must be some faulty information since I wasn't able to find both...
EDIT:
ok. it must be searched as "appsinstaller".
this is cool!
I'm using the "ES File Explorer"
Now...I need a .apk file to test that out
I've got my nook color rooted with ManualNooter 4.5.18 but I'm not sure where to put the apk files. Do they go on the SD card and if so in which folder or just on the card. I also need to know how I then install or access them. Thanks
I just place the APKs in a folder called backup apps on the SC card, I don't think it matters much.
For some apps I did have to copy the APK to internal in the Nook, I just used a folder in the my files folder.
The important thing is that you can find the files once they are copied.
I use ES File Explorer to navigate to my APKs and install them. It's free from the market. As for where to put any APKs that you want to load manually, anywhere that makes sense to you should be fine. I have a folder on the SD card called "downloads" that I stick everything into.
When I use that program it says install blocked, and my phone is set to block installation. Any way around this?

you can install your APK files (like the Play Store) by going to the Amazon Market first and downloading a File Explorer App such as ES File Explorer or any type of File Manager app, locating the APK through that program, and then clicking on it to install

It's not working.
Could you please tell me in which directory of System this apk is stored?
I'll manually put the apk there and edit it’s permission to 0644.
You can check it by an App called App Inspector (Available at Play Store)

I know very well for ApkInspector - screenshot attached.
This is system app, still not sure would it work.
But guys, if you think you don't like a particular 'bloatware' app, just disable by ADB. What's the point of deleting 3 MB from Internal memory and later having such troubles
Suggesting to flash stock Ramdisk and Recovery and to take Install latest by eRecovery. You will not loose Network patch

I have just uninstalled the App, not deleted from System. It seems the app is still in it’s own directory. I have tried to install it by tapping install. But its not installed.
Is there any adb command to re-install an uninstalled APK?
Does flashing stock ramdisk and Recovery trigger a Factory reset?
My ramdisk modified by magisk and have stock recovery installed.

Ok, then you needed to say in the first place what did you really do. If you uninstalled (for default user) by ADB, then the application remains on the system (for users 'other' than default) and can be reinstalled by ADB again (although not possible on old ADB servers like in EMUI 4). For the commands see (check examples by the end of the script there)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80526831&postcount=3
You can't click on the apk uninstalled by ADB to 'install' back.
For that reason disabling by ADB is more practical, app can ba re-enabled without ADB, simply through Settings, Apps
PS: eRecovery Install latest does not trigger Factory reset, unless you don't take Factory reset option by mistake from eRecovery
Flashing stock Recovery or Ramdisk does not trigger Factory reset (if correct file is flashed to the correct partition)
