[Q] how to install SDK components manually not using SDK Manager? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

may I know how to install SDK components (SDK components and Google APIs ) manually not using SDK Manager?
I have installed r12 and r14 SDK Manager but still missing those components that I need to install them through SDK Manager
the problem is that I'm having wimax wireless broadband at my home, and it has monthly volume quota with 3 person is using. I'm not browsing any youtube videos at home as well, because it will use up too many bandwidth.
I'm thinking that if I can download them manually in my office not using SDK manager (no permission to install SDK manager in office) and bring them home
I found this link
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml
but there are no individual components only
the full r14 zip files only (the one that i already have)

Why is the linux power of our phones reduced to simple apps?

I've found very limited google information regarding installing a package manager so that I may install perl or python or what have you. I'd like to be able to write my simple script programs for my open source linux phone.
It'd be nice to install gcc make compiler....banshee....mplayer natively...i'v ran them under a vnc debian install also vnc to my home pc ..but thats kind of lame our phone is already running linux why boot into another copy....why not extend our own natively by installing needed dependencies as they are needed via a package manager just as the intel/amd versions do...is ARM so crippled that it doesn't know how to install anything besides external apps with maybe a library or two?
We need to stop trying to be LIKE apple and use our linux power to which there is no competition!

ARM instruction versus x86-64 instruction. It bugs me, too. I also have a Gtab, more than double the power of the vibrant, useless without awesome apps.

[Q] Installing .apk from PC with USB

Dear friends a strange problem arose with me regarding installing .apk
I had just update my dell streak with update.pkg from dell. But the problem is that my net is disabled somehow and I don't have wireless connection too. Though I have backup of all application but I need to install file manager first. But now as I can't open market to download either through net or wireless. Is there any way to install apk from computer through usb. Plz I need it badly as I can't do nothing without installing file manager.
Yes, you can, but you will need the Android SDK installed on the PC.
Full install instructions, and download links are at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Once you have it installed, it is as simple as typing adb install packagefile.apk into your PC, to install a package onto your phone.
ok...downloaded both SDK and JDk.....installed JDK but when installing SDK its again showing same page to install JDk....i'm using windows 7 starter pack on my ASUS Eee PC netbook
google, and you will find this is an error, the way to fix this is click the back button, then it will reset and find it!
Well what I found is CONNECTIFY a program which enable mobile to use laptop net. Very useful software.

Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I think even the stock ROM comes with Quick office or something like that that will allow accessing the SD card if you were to put the apk on the sd card and install it from there. I may be wrong though, it's been forever since I used a stock ROM
Well thanks dear it worked tht way.....now installed SDK

Run any Android app on your Chromebook

http://surl.im/MhvRr
This has really breathed new life into my HP Chromebook. The only downside to this OS is the way it handles ZIP files. You must drag them to the Download section and they get unpacked and show up in left column.
Android Apps that work for me:
Pandora
DoggCatcher
Garman My-Cast Weather
TWIT.TV
Android Apps that won't run:
iBird Pro
WinAmp
Gmail 5.0
Anyone know if gmail 5.0 will run well on Chromebook? I need a new laptop and would like to go to ChromeOS but I need a decent exchange email client. The company that hosts our web access will not enable full version of OWA for anything other than IE.
Thanks for sharing useful information with us.It helps for the new followers who dont know about this.
I dont see the FIOS app listed, can it be done? I use my tablet like a second tv at home and to watch stuff in HD as I do not have the hd box. Thx.
Technically, yes you can run any Android application on a Chromebook, but it will require quite a lengthy process that may not even be worth the time. Here's the guide. Just follow these steps: (I would post a link but I'm a new member...)
"Google is currently working with a handful of developers to bring a few Android apps to Chrome OS—but why wait for the pokey process to bear fruit? You can run any Android app on your Chromebook today. Chat on Skype, play Minecraft Pocket Edition, or read the latest news in Flipboard; it’s all possible, with a little help from Linux.
Here’s how it works: Google created a “runtime” that allows any Android app to run on Chrome OS. To test it out, it released four Android apps—Vine, Evernote, Duolingo, and Sight Words—that are now on the Chrome Web Store. Installing one of these apps will get you the runtime, and then you can “sideload” an Android app and run it on your Chromebook.
Google's goal is to get every Android app running on a Chromebook. In practice, the runtime is still in development and some apps crash—especially since Google's Android backend services aren't present on a Chromebook—but many apps already work just fine. Apps that use the microphone and camera even have access to your Chromebook’s microphone and camera. Android app notifications appear in Chrome’s notification center, too.
4.3 skype on chrome os
Skype's Android app running in Chrome OS, complete with notifications in the lower-right corner. Nobody tell Microsoft!
Getting started
First, install one of the four official Android apps—like Kids Sight Words—from the Chrome Web Store. Try the app and ensure it works on your Chromebook. Installing this sample app will also install the Android runtime for Chrome OS, and that’s what lets this hack work behind the scenes.
Install an Android app on Chrome OS
We’ll be using the chromeos-apk tool for this. It runs on UNIX-like systems (read: Linux and Mac OS X). We performed this process with Ubuntu 14.04, but there’s a way to convert APK files manually if you’re on Windows, or you can run Ubuntu from a live CD or Wubi. You can even do this on a Chromebook itself if you’re a geek who’s installed Linux in developer mode.
On Ubuntu, open a Terminal window. Run the following two commands to install and set up node.js:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
Next, install the chromeos-apk tool:
sudo npm install chromeos-apk -g
You’ll need the Android app’s APK file. Google doesn’t just allow you to download these from the Google Play Store. You can sometimes find APK files on various websites online, but that's risky—it’s like downloading a program’s .exe file from an unofficial file-hosting site instead of the official source.
1 download android app apk file for chrome
Downloading an Android app's APK using AirDroid's web interface. (Click on any image in this article to enlarge it.)
If you have an Android smartphone or tablet, AirDroid works well for this. Install the Android app you want to run on your Chromebook on your Android device, and install AirDroid as well. Open the AirDroid app and visit the AirDroid website on your computer. Sign in to the AirDroid interface. You don’t need to create an account, just scan the QR code on the screen with your device’s camera. Click the Apps icon, locate the app you want to run, and click the Download button to its right. You’ll get the app’s APK file on your computer.
Next, you’ll use the following command on your computer to package the Android app up for Chrome OS. (Be sure to replace “/path/to/app.apk” with the file path to the downloaded APK file on your drive.)
chromeos-apk /path/to/app.apk
If you’d like to use the app’s tablet interface instead of it smartphone interface, add --tablet to the end of the command, like so:
chromeos-apk /path/to/app.apk --tablet
2.5 convert android app for chrome
Converting an Android app for use on a Chromebook using the Chromeos-apk tool in Ubuntu Linux.
I saw an error message with Skype and had to enter the “com.skype.raider” name when prompted, but the tool still successfully converted Skype and it ran on my Chromebook. The tool is supposed to get the appropriate name from the APK file so you don’t have to enter it by hand, but it doesn’t always work.
The command generates a directory, which will appear in your home directory on Linux. Copy the entire directory to your Chromebook via a USB flash drive, SD Card, or shuffling it around using a cloud syncing service. Go to the Extensions page on your Chromebook (Chrome > "Hamburger" menu > Tools > Extensions), click Enable developer mode, and use the Load unpacked extension button to load the extension directory for the Android app.
3 install unpacked extension
The Extensions menu's developer mode in Chrome OS.
Once that's done, simply open select the Launch option for the app in the Extensions menu.
Run more than one app
This tool has some limitations. Google’s Android runtime for Chrome is currently restricted to four specific apps, and the tool above replaces Vine with an app of your choice. You can only use the command above to install a single Android app on your device at a time. If you want to install up to three more, follow these instructions.
Vladikoff—chromeos-apk’s developer—has also now released a modified Android runtime for Chrome. It’s known as the ARChon Custom Runtime, and it allows you to run any number of apps at a time. It even allows you to run Android apps in Chrome on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. This modified runtime is less official and may be more unstable. Of course, Windows users already have a good way to run Android apps with BlueStacks or by installing Android in a virtual machine.

Where is this headed?
In the future, Google will likely improve their Android app runtime and allow all Android developers to easily package their apps and put them on the Chrome Web Store. Google could go even further, adding Chromebooks as another supported device in Google Play so you could easily install any Android app on a Chromebook like you'd install it on a smartphone or tablet.
We’ll probably need unofficial tools like chromeos-apk for a while. It’s unlikely we’ll see every Android app appear in the Chrome Web Store any time soon. Chrome OS users may have to use tools like chromeos-apk to package up apps like Skype; Microsoft probably doesn’t want Skype running on Chromebooks, as they like using it as a cudgel against Chrome OS in their “Scroogled” campaign and other ads.
Check out /r/chromeapks on Reddit for more discussion of this tool, including whether specific apps work! We’ll hopefully see the tool continue to improve, bringing more software to Chrome OS—though you have to wonder what this means for the future of Chrome and its offline “Chrome apps.”
It's a pretty straight forward guide.

where chromebooks are a google product, yes, you shouldn't have any problem running your gmail.. i can sink my email from my samsung gal 4 and no issues... comes equipped with gmail, you will have to set up an account, or use an old one... to set your chromebook up... it's like an android netbook... but i love this... ( had a netbook, loved it too, but... this is way better!!!)
good luck with yours!!

hi
i have a hp 14 chromebook(celeron)
android skype and ymail are working for me
hi
how successful are people at running android apps on there chromebooks?
i have been trying off and on since christmas to run android apps on a intel acer chromebook with no success,
while i havent used this method described here, as i havent got linux, i have tried the other two methods that are supposed to work.
i have mainly been trying to convert mincraft as this is supposed to work fine, i just thought get this working and move on
first i installed evernote, to get the run time on chrome book, its definetly on there
then i have put ARChon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bpear.archonpackager
on my phone, and used it to create the files/folders from apk files which then i put on the chromebook, and install via chrome/load unpacked extension
but it just shows the icon for a minute then the chrome crash screen
i have then tried installing Twerk,
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twerk/jhdnjmjhmfihbfjdgmnappnoaehnhiaf?hl=en
directly on the chromebook, converting the apks with twerk and then again install the resulting files/folders via load unpacked extension
but same result,
next attempt, i put the Archon runtime on the chromebook
https://archon-runtime.github.io/
i have repeated the previous steps, archon on my phone and twerk on the chromebook but still get same results
i have also tried a few other random apks, and i have tested the apks im using on a tablet so they all work
For older Chromebooks/Chromeboxes that Google will not load the Android store on, there is one possibility. There is a Linux distribution called "Android x86". I have installed this Linux distribution on my PC laptop, dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu. It looks and runs android marshmallow just like my android tablet and phone. You don't need touchscreen. The mouse point, click and drag works fine to perform all touch functions. I can download and run Google Play Store apps to my PC with Android x86.
So, since you can install Linux through Crouton on a Chromebook/Chromebox, you should be able to install Linux Android x86 through Crouton.

Cannot export working x86 apk of Jacks Flight Club on Android Emulator

I can't seem to export a working version of Jacks Flights using Android Assistant or Extract APK. When I re-install the APK on the same phone the app no longer loads and throws up the logs below. Any ideas how to fix this?

From what I can find out from react native github is that its trying to use non existing 64bit versions of libraries. I am running the x86 not x86_64 emulator. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2814
If anyone else has this problem I resolved my problem by using an earlier version of android. I think it is somthing to do with having to supply 64 but versions of applications from 7 onwards. I did it in nougat *

How to download an .appx file for offline installation?

Hi, I need to download a mobile app (x86 compatible) to be sideloaded on W10 pc.
The app is released for mobile only so I cannot install it from microsoft store, but I need it and I want to try to sideload it on pc.
The question is:
how to download appx bundle of mobile only apps?
will it work on pc?
Thanks!
You can download appx via this site: https://store.rg-adguard.net/
how i know you can`t install mobile appx on pc.
My reply
Gone are the days when Windows Store users were allowed to download XAP or APPX files manually for offline installations. With the introduction of Microsoft Store, Microsoft discontinued the option. Now, users are only allowed to install applications from the Store itself. This does not mean that you cannot install APPX files on your Windows 10 machine. But the main thing is getting an APPX file. For this, you can use a tool called Fiddler.
If you want to work with the source code of the program for a mobile phone, you can ask the developers or try to open it through the program.
It seems to me if you search you can find some kind of emulator that will display on the computer, but this is not accurate
EdbMails Office 365 migration tool is one of the most effective ways to migrate Office 365 tenants. I've used this software before, and it can easily move a huge number of mailboxes. I was able to contact their excellent 24/7 personal support at one point, and they were able to walk me through the procedure and requirements. If you're having trouble migrating to Office 365, I highly recommend EdbMails Office 365 migration tool.

Your IP or your compunter name or browser ID has been blocked or whatever they use to identify your computer has been blocked by microsoft server. It's also maybe limited to the number of time you can download a specific package that way.
I try to understand the way they decide to allow or forbid to download a package. I succeded to download 2 paid packaged app, one of them running just fine once unzipped (but could not install it as a UWP package because lack of certificate), the second one, still unzipped, missing shared dll to start, so downloaded successfully VCLibs.140 package but it refuse to install because to other insalled package has to be stopped first before that.
As the pace of the world picked up, professional workers began working remotely on a daily basis. This is because multiple companies have adopted new guidelines for working remotely with Microsoft Teams, making it important for companies to ensure their virtual teams have access to tools and technology to work on the go. I'm here. Because Microsoft 365 is completely cloud-based, users can work effectively anywhere, anytime, as long as they have an internet connection. Which makes many users and enterprises to adopt Office 365 Migration Services.
