While we try to get the Market to give up the crown jewels, is there a trusted repo of apk files or perhaps some way I can find the md5 sums of official market place versions so that I can check the versions I "source" myself..? Up front I'm interested in Skype 2.5.0.160 and Facebook 1.7.2. I'm not looking for links. I kind find them just fine, what I really need is to be able to confirm their integrity before I install them.
Download and install the apps from market on your mobile phone.
Take the backup of those apps using Astro or ES File explorer.
Browse to sdcard/backups for your apks.
Send them to your Nook Tablet through email.
Open the apk in Nook Tablet and install through package installer.

ps the xda app crashes on my nook too when i sign in
there is an app called myappsharer in the market. It will let you email apk's without the hassle of backing up.

I was just wondering what happens if you try to install an apk file by clicking on it if the description of it calls for it to be pushed to the phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Only needs to be pushed if it has to go to a certain part of the phone. Apk's can be installed with a file manager by clicking on it. Just have unknown sources checked if it's a non market app. What are u trying to install?

It will just fail. You can try this with install_flash_player.apk (for Flash 10.1). If you don't push that to /System, it will simply give you an error when you click on it.
I'm running the latest axura rom which is missing the google news and weather widget. A link was posted to an apk for it but stated it needs to be pushed. Me just out of curiosity clicked on open after I downloaded the file and since it acted like a normal apk giving me the install options I just wondered what would happen if I actually installed it that way versus the directed push way.

Use Root Explorer (or another file explorer) to upload the .apk to your dropbox account. Then just dropbox it over to her phone. The app you're looking for will probably be in /data/app
Or you could just blu toot it right over with root explore. Of your not rooted you can still blu tooth it as well.
Locked & Loaded
The app bump works pretty well if the phones are in proximity.
BANG! from my shooter...
You don't even need root, use astro or es file manager back up that app, upload it to dropbox and share or just email the backup boom

Wouldn't work. Bump just sends the app's market link to the other phone. There's a appshare app that you can download that will work. You have to find it on the internet because it's not, and never will, be in the market because it'll be too easy to share paid apps.
Here's some info on AppShare by DamagedApps:
http://apps.talkandroid.com/apps/social/149819-com+damagedapps+appshare/
There's also this one that sends the apk directly to whomever you want to share with:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yschi.MyAppSharer
What I've done is use Astro to find the app, then press and hold and press send. Ive sent one through Gmail.

Hi, if someone has managed to patch market to have available non-qvga apps, I would like to ask if you would be willing to download Sports tracker by Nokia v 1.5.2 and post it.
I would appreciate it.
P.s. it's free: )

Search google for sportstracker.apk download, I found and downloaded it from the first page, save it to your SD card and install with a file manager like astro, root explorer etc...... good app but I'm a bit too lazy to ever use it!

Did that before posting here, It's not the version I'm after but thanks anyway
Anyway thanks for your replies, actually I managed to get it, and it's not working good.
I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

Thanks, you reminded me of something, I remembered there was the app and titanium files on the inc2 area, got it working without adjusting a thing.

I was finally able to get it to work! Thanks for the info on the files in the inc2 area!

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

Thanks for posting this. Great help!
Thanks for the info guys.
Does this still work?
I have downloaded the files and use titanium to restore...
The app runs but gives me the "device not supported yet" banner.
I can use it to manage my account and all... but no play...
anyone?

I tried to install facebook for android on my rooted NT today but received an error message saying that it is not compatible with this device. Is there a work around?
I used share my applications app on my phone., made a back up to my sd, uploaded to dropbox. Then I opened up dropbox on my nook downloaded the app and installed.
Im using an app called facebook 2.0
I actually like it better than the official app

Is there another way? I do not have an android phone...just this nook tablet...
Search the web for the most recent apk (I'm pretty sure it's linked on this site in the must-have apps thread) and side-load install it.
yeah i was wrong, the 1.5.4 version (found in the essential apps post) works just fine.

"Facebook 2.0" has been pulled from markets, since it uses the FB name but isn't the official FB app. Google to find.
