It might be that the apk file is corrupted or it is not really an apk file. I have instances where android told me that content is not supported while downloading an apk file as it is in the .bin file format. All I did is just to download and change the fipe type to apk to make it work.

I've had nothing but trouble transferring apk's through any browser on android, bluetooth, or even link in a text message.
But rename the extension to '.jpg' or some other regularly sent extension and it works almost everytime.
Frustrating work around, but a work around none-the-less.

Use a different browser besides the stock one. Try dolphin or miren browser.

True... but one thing nobody told you, was...
Go to Astro (file Manager), and go to it's preferences (menu > More), there is an option to Enable Browser Downloads.
THIS is what most places recommend, including the latest SwiftKey Beta.

or google download crutch, it will let you download anything on your phone. least it used to on my g1. never had a problem d/l'ing anything on my vibrant.

Arc Software needs certain things that non-lg roms don't have. Therefore you can't install it.

Same, I can get it to sorta work... it just won't do anything (how is that working??) -- lol, it loads up to the Music / Video screen and then refuses to continue.

The ArcSoft package contains the ArcSoft folder from /system/3rd_party and some libs in /system/lib (like libarc???.so). No luck for me too, maybe some more files missing. If anyone could do, I would be really thankful to him

I think there's something in the framework of stock roms it relies on, I can get it to install and load (after some nasty hacks), but it seems unable to actually function (Log just spits out "Application already in focus ignoring..." )
... But don't think I've given up, this is one of the few items on my "wish list" for SwiftDroid

Can you elaborate a bit further? -- It was easy enough to "hack" the apk to allow it to install, and it loads up... just kinda doesn't actually do it's thing. (log is no help here sadly)

It'll have stuff deeply encoded into random libs or something. You know what LG are like. It's like porting the FM radio

I think the .so files in the lib folder lets you install some apps and games depending on the Install Codes in the .so files, apps and the Games
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
The arc files are in random Locations and i think you need to get the LG GT540's Package Installer from /system/app/package installer.apk the permissions for the apk are
Owner R/W
Group R
Others R
I hope this helps ;D

Testing the .apk and the .odex on my evo...we'll see if it works haha
EDIT: It didn't install..maybe it could be that I am using CyanogenMod7...
Here are the apps if someone wants to play with them.

Hmm I'd imagine in would need to be modded to work with non sense roms =/
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
How did you try to install it? Did you just "run" the apk from the sdcard?
That won't work. Because of the odex file.
You could de-odex the app and try to install it again.

Downloading attatched files on forums straight to phone

When I had my cappy I could download apk and zip files and stuff that people posted on the forums while browsing on my phone. I can't do that anymore. It just keeps saying download unsuccessful. It is kind of a paint to see something I want then have to go to the computer. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change something in the settings? Thanks for any input.

Do you have a folder in the internel sdcard named DOWNLOAD ?
If not create it and try downloading again. (using default browser).
You should be able to download anything off of internet.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
Try downloading "download all files" from the market, it allows the stock browser to download any file type
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I checked for the download folder and it was there. I downloaded that app from the market and that did the trick. I am not sure why I never had to do that on my captivate. Maybe it was the rom I was running. Thanks for the help, guys.

I have the same problems with downloads being unsuccessful with the stock browser. But on all other browsers our seems to work fine. I just copy paste the link into a different browser if I want to download something. Dolphin and opera both work fine.

[Q] Gmail.apk attachments

guys need a quick feed back, i've installed the stock gmail.apk onto my device, but i can't find out how i can save the .zip attachments that someone have sent to me ... i've tried several times w/o no luck, i've also tried download all files but seems that isnt working ... any tip?
IIRC, you can't download attachments with gmail. Try something else, like K9 or K10!
Install the app download all files or similar. Many in the market. Or use the gmail mobile website...

Download all files doesnt run. Any other? Have you tried something?

Any luck yet ?
I have tried searching on Internet but seems there isn't really a solution yet. A lot of people recommend Download All Files, Blackmoon etc... but the real issue here is that from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, there is NOT even a Preview button for the .zip attachment so non of those apps will work.
I would appreciate if there is any other working methods besides a third party email client.
Thanks.
Bert
These are your options:
