I'm having a problem downloading apk files from here.. and installing them on my atrix.
I'm gladrooted.. downloading apk files from here or other sites on my macbook pro.
i put them on both internal and external sd cards and trying to use astro to install them but they are showing up with no install options. everything is blank in the file info. Am i doing something wrong?
The same process used to seem to work while I was arooted.. but no idea what could be different now.
I can download them from the website straight to my phone and install them fine.
any ideas?
I downloaded ESTRONG file manager and they all work now... bad bad astro.

Hai!
So I just copied the Android Froyo files directly onto my SD card, and when I try to open them on my HTC HD2 I recieve an error that the file cant be opened and I should try to reinstall it.
Any help ?
Bai!
When you unzip the downloaded zipped file on your PC, you should end up with an android folder. It's that folder that you need in the root of your SD.
It's detailed very clearly how to install and run Android on every single build page that I've read. You should start where you downloaded it from.

I did that, same error.
Anyonez ?
Please
We're not mind readers. What exactly did you do and what was the error?
ALright:
- I copied the folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
Search for sdkcerts and install that on your phone. That should fix your problem.
Sent from my iPhone 5 beta using the XDA App
Does it matter where I extract the file to ?
Do I have to put it on my SD card or on my HD2 program files ?
THANKS!
Tried both locations, getting an error while installing the .cab:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'

Make your own topic please.
So what point I am at:
- I copied the Android folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
-------------------
Then this person told me to download a .cab that would fix all the problems, and when I wanted to install it I got the error:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'
--------------------
And now I dont have a CLUE what to do! Lol
I am guessing you are running a stock windows mobile rom? You need to either run a custom rom or find "Advanced Configuration Tool" and install it so you can enable the rom to run all unsigned applications. Then you can run the android apps to boot it.
It is in the misc. section. More info: http://www.touchxperience.com/en/applications/advanced-configuration-tool.html
Uhm, where can I find a custom ROM :$?
I tried that Advanced Config, but when I try to run it on my phone it just gives me the error:
The file "AdvancedConfig" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
**** it, I will just peform a hard reset
Making a back-up of my contacts at this moment.
Peformed a Hard-Reset and the Android and all other files are working FKING GREAT!
Love you guys!
If you get that problem again, you should install an app called "bsb tweaks" (or a similar app) and set it to "allow unsigned"
this should allow you to install things that you couldnt before...........
Glad you got it sorted.
Thanks, John, for helping me out!
I am trying to sideload titanium backup to my g tab. I am running vegan 5.1.1. I downloaded titanium backup to my computer and it is a zipped file. I then copied it over to my g tablet. How ever when I open it with es file explorer it doesn't ask to install it, it just opens it up and lists the folders and files in it. How do I install it.

This will not install.. You will need to unzip it first and then extract the .apk file out of it and then either move it over or copy it to the SD card or usb stick and attach it. Once detected in the Gtab you will have the option to install the app.
Let us know how u make out.
Did you create an "update zip" using titanium backup? If so you need to boot into recovery and flash it like a rom
Probably named wrong by the computer
Your computer probably changed the extention from .apk to .zip during the download. Change it back either on the computer or GTab itself and try to install it again.

I've seen this lots of times where some browsers like to rename .apk files to .zip. Just rename it and then open it.
Hey
I have I9100T, and i'm using Cognition 1.5.1, kernel 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine
When i download files using any web browsers (stock or dolphin), everything seems to be ok. the files can be opened, i can see them on the downloads section in the browser.. everything is great.
Until i opening the file manager (or root explorer).
When i entering the download folder, it seems to be empty! I tried to open it trow kies air, but it's the same, its empty!
I tried to search my downloaded files thru root explorer.. but i couldn't find them..
I even can see the images i downloaded in the android gallery under the name "download"
b.t.w i'm not using external card.
WTF?!
thnks.
HELPP
PLS help me ):
I used that SD card method to root (apparently) my 8GB NT.
I got android market/google play, etc. and changed my N button to show a different home page, so I guess it is rooted, right?
Anyway, I have a bunch of APKs I want to install, so I copied them over to my NT but when I go into the download folder and click on them it says that the Nook can't read that type of file or something...so I can't install the packages.
One way I read that it can be done is to email the APKs as attachments and then install them through gMail. That actually worked for the smaller APKs, but for larger ones that can't be attached to email, I'm stuck.
Is there another program I need to use to open the APKs to install them or something? I did get the box checked to allow installation of 3rd party apps, but I just don't know how to install them on this thing. On my other tablet (Viewsonic gTab) I just copied them over to the SD card and then used file manager and clicked on them...not so here.
Thanks,
P
File manager
You might try using a different file manager, because it sounds like whichever file manager you are using on the NT isn't starting the apk installer.
If you've got the Play store, downloading one should be easy. I know Astro is a fairly popular one.
I rooted my 8GB, and never got any APK's to side load. I took mine back, bought the 16Gb, and have been happy with it (CM7). Outside of root I don't think you can do much more with the 8GB version.
New File Manager Fixed Problem
I downloaded Astro, which looked nice but for some reason wouldn't work for me. It showed all of the APK files I put on my microSD, but when I clicked on them it did nothing...
So I downloaded another file manager...EX something I think? And it works perfectly. It shows the folders, I go in and tap on the APP or GAME icon for the APK, and it prompts me to install it, etc.
So, for anyone unsure, the 8GB NT is able to be side loaded with any APK that the 16GB is able to load...maybe it is a bit harder or more complicated, but it can still easily be done if you have the right programs on there.
I'll start a thread with exactly what I did and what I needed to load if it would be helpful.

Hi guys,
I try to update my Note 4 (rooted, but runs stock ROM, 4/64 global version, 1 month old) with regular system update, but it keeps on saying, that I need to turn on WiFi. It IS on. First I figured it´s, because I share my tablet´s internet and doesn´t like hotspots, but connected to my normal rooter with the same "success". It starts downloading however on GSM/LTE. The problem is, that I have a 1 GB net and the package is 1.3 GB. My other thought was, it doesn´t work, because it´s rooted and can´t install OEM update just like on Google devices, but doesn´t even start to download. All other apps work with wifi on, but the sys update.
Open the file manager app in your device and locate the folder where the update.zip file is downloaded, delete it. Since the file is much bigger than your daily limit. Try to download the file from miui website and use apps like adm, where you can easily pause and continue the download of file. Then move the downloaded file to the internal storage and through the updater app, you can select the zip to install.
