I successfully installed the Android Open Kang Project Fascinate Build 35 onto my phone. But it didn't come with gmail, a file explorer, or google play (the new market) so I have no way to sync my phone to my gmail to get all my contacts back.
Help!
You gotta flash gapps (Google apps). Look for it in op of aokp thread. You gotta supply your own file manager, I recommend root explorer if you don't mind spending a few bucks (worth it), es file explorer is a good free app.

Thanks! I know where to go once I have gapps on my phone. This is my first time crossing over to ics, so I'm learning as I go.
Yeah you'll have to flash gapps after each rom flash if you're on THS, gummy, AOKP, etc. The gapps are updated every so often, you can always find the most up to date version at goo.im/gapps.

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.
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.

there is an app called myappsharer in the market. It will let you email apk's without the hassle of backing up.

I own a Samsung Ace, and I bought it in Middle East. Apparently Android Market is officially not supported here yet.
Now the phone came with one installed in it. I used it fine, never bought any app but downloaded a lot of free apps. They ran fine and everything was good. Except for one thing that ever since I had been using the phone, it had the habit of occasionally shutting it down.
So I took the phone to Samsung care they rebooted the phone or reinstalled the OS. Irrespective of whether the phone's working fine or not, I no longer see the Market icon on my phone.
I have tried downloading a couple of apk online. But one of them force closed even before the Market opened. The second force closes itself when I select any app from the Market.
I can come up with only 2 solutions,
1. Some ACE user out there send me the apk.
2. Some geek tell me how to find the market apk inside the phone, since the phone came with market installed on it, so there has to be an apk file inside it.
Waiting for everyone's reply.
Login your GMail app.
or, install the CWM and install the gapps from there.
Using root explorer, go to system-> apps-> & install vending.apk

Just instal one of samfirmware ROM (if you brought your phone, then flash all except the modem (Phone)). The european roms have Android Market instaled by default (but you will lose your warranty). If you want, I can write a tutoriual for that.

Ok. I googled for it found the root explorer app on the android market webpage. But the app comes for a price. The same developer has another app by the name of explorer can i use that?

As long as it has root access, you should be able to shift gapps to the /system partition.
Install ES explorer and in the seetings mark root acess
For me best explorer and it's free

Just Log it in. You should have your market app after syncing your google account on your phone. This happens to me.
Long story short, I was using Root Explorer to de-bloat my phone completely and I think I managed to deleted the Market.apk
Anybody by chance have it so I don't have to re-flash to stock because I finally got my phone to where I want except for this.
Mods feel free to move if this isn't the right place to post.
Here you go!

I don't suppose you'd have a file manager laying around. That's one thing I forgot.

You can install thru Root Explorer or just push apk to correct directory reboot and you should be good to go

Got a nice program called Android Commander and it let me install everything I needed.
However, I installed the Market that Nathan posted, and it's saying I have to pay for apps that I've already purchased? Anyway to go about that?
Edit: Just had to re-install as a system app.
Glad you got it figured out

Which is the lightest fast and practical file explorer for everyday use?
What do you need it for (built in file support, root access, etc)?
Try xplore, it has all one needs in a file manager.

This is pretty easy to answer: ES File Explorer.
It's free and fast and besides being a normal file manager it's task killer & cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and ftp client.
I've been using if for a couple of years with tons of different roms and mobiles and never had a problem.

just for copy paste files and extract zip files... simple ui like root explorer?
There are 2 file browsers I use on an everyday basis, firstly if you want a good UI experience, the ES File Explorer and the best thing about it is free! Second thing I use is the Root Explorer app and it is not free although it's worth a buy, if you are onto changing ROMs and other tweak stuffs then this baby is for you!

Root Explorer! This thing is a power house. Simple to use, very clean, and does exactly what you tell it to do

Wrong section -_- and as far as ur question is concerned use root explorer
Solid Explorer or FX Explorer.
Been using Root Explorer for a long time, and it's rock solid. Recently though, I've started using FX Explorer and it's the only one I use now. And next time you have a question, post it in the Q&A section.

To those guys using Root Explorer [Lite], is there any way to make a homescreen shortcut to the downloads folder?
I was made aware of Solid Explorer from this post... It's the coolest app I've come across in a really long time!
