If I try to download files to my browser through pretty much any share site, I either get download failed or a 1kb htm file. I know the solution to this is to install opera browser. Problem is, I like the stock browser especially now that its all synced up with my Google account. I have tried astro file manager (option to allow browser downloads and that didn't work either.
If the astro file manager thing didn't work maybe try Download All Files from the Play Store. And if that doesn't you could try a modded browser such as ICS Browser+, also in the Play Store.

more info required as which ROM are you on... GB/ICS...
although i dont think it makes a difference...
If on ICS stock brower... go to menu ...settings..advanced... default storage...
see if its selected to phone...(memory card only if you have one slotted in the phone)
i just checked a download from www.filehippo.com
works for me...
i dont think you need to use any other browser or app to download stuff...

It won't download files from filehosting services, but insted html file. Opera doesn't have this issue. Any idea how to fix it?
I'm having this problem too

Ummm I have the stock browser with Astro installed and in the settings for astro it has an option to allow you to download all file types did you try that?
What filehosting service are you using?
Filesonic, Fileserve, Wupload... You name it.
And what has Astro to do with web browser?
EDIT: Didn't help.
Have you tried another Browser? It would help to know if it's a Browser specific issue after all.
Opera can download those files just fine. Dolphin obviously can't, since it's using stock kernel.
Can someone recommend a dowlnload manager please? Would be great if it also let me download files from sites like filesonic, etc

I use Byte Tornado (free from the market). Its an add-on for the default browser that allows it to download anything that it would not normally download. Really works quite well. Also works perfectly when downloading files from file sharing sites (mediafire, multiupload etc)

I use Opera Browser, the included download manager works like a charm.
I tried Bytetornado which is great but doesn't work on https pages (usefull if you have prenium account on host site or use fast-debrid for exemple).
Opera even let you choose where to download on your sd/card for each file (with no file extension's restriction), and ask you if you want to hide the download progress.
If you just need the download manager and have few ram less, you can use Opera mini.
Hope it helps
I was able to install astro file manager via apk. I had to allow outside sites. I usd the package manager when prompted and open after install. I was able to see the system files but i tried to copy them to my sd card with no luck. This does not create a link on the shelf and i dont know how to launch it unless i reinstall from the downloads in the browser. I also attempted other apk some worked others did not. Not sure if this helps anyone I m not a developer just fooling around at Mc donalds playing with my new nook tablet. Maybe this info is already out their if so im sorry.
How about trying to install a launcher like Go Launcher? The Kindle Fire people have some type of success with Go Launcher.
Have you tried rebooting after installing to see if icons appear?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
no but I will.
you'll need a launcher to be able to see your apps. The nook hasn't shown the BN installed apps and the user installed apps in the same place since 1.1.
Very interesting if Zeam or Go are installable. My memory is that the old BN app installer would not install non-BN apps.
I tried a reboot no luck. I Also tried to install the apps from the download location after reboot. I get a problem parsing the file. This could be because temporary internet cache is cleared after reboot not sure.
I have Go running right now on mine and it rebooted into it automatically. If I home button, it goes back to the Nook default UI and I haven't found a way to get back to Go yet.
same her go is running and my other installed apk's are showing up in the app menu
here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook tablet
Here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook. With installed apks in the app drawer.
I have File Expert, Market, G Books all installed as well as the Google services APK. Can't log into market yet. I'm a total n00b on this so if more experienced people have advice, let me know.
edit -
Nevermind.. must have been a bad file name or location.. i found another one and it works now.

Download the apk with your browser, then click on the notification in the bottom left, and install with package installer when it'd downloaded.
Get go launcher apk here:

Yeah, I had done that.. I guess it just didn't like the file.. it was an attachment from here.
Thanks for the go launcher link.
Got the Google account info in via Youtube apk. Access to G+ works fine. Working on market now.

Market keeps force closing though the 2.3.6 market will stay open for a bit. In a twist of irony, the Amazon App store works perfect. Likely no more updates from me tonight.
Summary, download Go Launcher apk and install using Package Installer. Get a File management program, then go to town.
amazon appstore
I have installed amazon app store including all my free apps
from my account. plus opera web browser play on and kindle this rocks.
wave launcher
I have installed wave launcher and added go launcher this can help make up for moments when you need a home button and want to stay in go launcher. Hope this helps.
Is there anyway to get back to the page with "Install from unknown sources" again? I can't find a way of getting there through the settings, and I'm curious if it's even accessible otherwise.

I couldn't find a way. I hacked one of my test apps to launch it. Download the tgps_launcher, and hit "start".

I just found that double tapping the N button in Angry Birds will let you chose which launcher to use.
Now I can use ADW on this thing.
Is Kindle Reader app installable? That would make it worth it. Also are the apps all being installed in the 1gb or can they be installed in the BN partition?
Hi,
I have downloaded dozen of stuff using dolphin hd but the "Downloads" app is showing no content! Its totally empty!
But if i navigate to the "/sdcard/download/" folder via my files app i can see all the downloads!! as this is what is set in the dolphin browsers settings.
Is this download app not linked with the folder mentioned above?
what folder do i have to set in dolphin browser to see my downloads when i tap the downloads app?
Specs:
Galaxy S2
CheckRom RevoHD v6
Dolphin HD Browser
Download app has this white arrow in green background icon
Thanks
no suggestion
If you have cleared download history then you can't see your download stuff in the list again unless you have a titanium backup or dolphin browser and you had backed it up at the time you had download list
Hi,
No, i didn't clear any history.
I flashed checkrom. installed dolphin hd. downloaded stuff and then realized that the download app is not showing anything! No history no nothing cleared.
Eventhough all what i download is being properly saved to "/sdcard/download/". I even get the "Download Complete" message in the notification bar but the app still remains empty
I always have to navigate there using "My Files" to open the downloaded stuff whenever i need it.

Try clear data of dolphin browser or install "Download all files" from market
Hi.
I'm new to these forums and to Android phones.
I'm having the same problem as Thindboy in my Samsung Galaxy Note i717.
My Note hasn't been rooted and I also have Dolphin Browser HD. I think that this problem also happened with the built in Android browser but I can't remember. Dolphin Browser download folder is set as: /mnt/sdcard/download
I followed sahibunlimited suggestions but even with the "Download All Files" app the files are still saved in the previously mentioned directory.
Does anyone know the address of the directory that the "Download" app in Android uses?
If it is the same one that I mentioned, does anyone know what might be going on
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi there,am running BEASTSense ROM on HTC Hero. When am trying download from the market it doesn't download. It says your app will be download and that's it. Does anybody knows the answer of that annoying thing ? Reflash the rom doesn't help.
Thanks.
It sounds like you are trying to download the app from the Play Store Webpage..
If that is the case, then after a new flash you need to download at least one app through the market on your phone in order to "link" your phone and the play store account, after which you can close and reopen the play store twice in order for the app to update itself to the latest version.
when it reopens as Play Store and you agree the terms and conditions, it should then work online on the webpage .. or try download another app to link it and try again
The rom I'm running is with market app instaled.Doesn't wont update to google play. If I try install it says "there is a problem with installing the package". Anyway will change the rom probably.Thanks
I have the same issue as the guy in OP, the downloading app just hangs in there in the status bar
Have you tried to wipe market data and cache in Manage Applications. You could try to flash or push an updated market App to replace your current app if you feel the app is broken.. Paraphrasing Icebox from his thread..
You will need to find the market apk you want to push (i guess that's from Froyo version) and copy/paste it into /system/app by using a file manager that has root access - Es File Explorer is great for this but you'll need to grant root access from Settings (Es File Explorer settings that is) and then perform the copy/paste action in /system/app.
The market is named Vending.apk and the one you'll copy should need to have the same name.. ..
Good luck, or try a different Rom.. etc
