Hi. I bougth yesterday kindle fire HD 7' and i hva problem! I transfered few apk file from my computer to my tablet fire HD and my tablet does not see APK files...I tried to transfer to kindle pictures, videos from my PC and all files normal work... But APK NO! Pls help. Do i have to root my tablet that I could see apk file?
Before anything make sure that you enable that featured on your device, go to setting then security it should be there. From there you should be able to go
No you don't need root, first you need to pull down the Notification Settings and press "+ More" then scroll down to Device and press it, Then press and turn on "Allow Installation of Applications", Once you have done that back out to home screen.
Now go to "Shop" then "Apps" and search for a "file manager app" (I Use ES File Explorer), Once thats installed back out to home screen and load file manager app then locate apk's on your kindle and press the one you wish to install then just follow on screen instructions.
Allow Installation of Applications is already ON. I have no acces on amazon because my country it not supported... Any suggestions?
Go to:
http://www.1mobile.com/
Download the 1mobile market, install it by clicking on the "download complete" notification on the pull down menu; once you have the 1mobile market you can download and install ES FM and a lot of other apps.
Thansk you. Now it working!

I found this over in the Nexus section. Gameloft is giving away "Let's Golf" for a limited time. Someone over in the Nexus One section uploaded the .apk because in order to get the game you needed to download/install something else. I'm not exactly sure if this is supposed to be free ONLY for Nexus users, so if it is, I guess this thread would be considered "warez" and should be closed.
Here's this .apk...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=361664&d=1279324137
Instructions...
-Install the .apk
-Enter Airplane mode (disables all data)
-Install the game and launch it (Still don't enable data)
-It will tell you to download the game's data, choose yes.
-It will ask you to download with Wifi or 3G, choose Wifi.
Works just as described. Nice find
thanks! worked perfectly
Thanks! Downloading data now.
I followed the steps and everything was downloaded. But now when I open the game it goes blank and reverts back to the homepage. Any suggestions?
*** Nevermind, I uninstalled and deleted all the downloaded files for Game Loft and reinstalled and it works like a charm. Good find!
Works like a charm! Its reminds me of one of my top "quick play" games for the PSP, Hot Shots Golf.
Awesome!! Thanks!

Put the apk file on your sdcard and open file explorer. Install the file from there.
When I try to download the link, I get an error saying its unupported file type. Unknown sources is checked. Any idea why?
Does not work for me as well. Mail screen will load, but says it's not the original version of the game, than it boots me out.
Thanks ultra spike great post. I appreciate anything free. It works like a charm.

William, follow directions exactly and you should befind. Even install and 5o back and reinstall. I had to do that cuz I wasnt in a wifi spot.follow exact directions and you will have game.
I havent downloaded anything thru the browser on the vibrant yet i just got it my self coming from the HD2 but when i had my G1 i had to have ASTRO file manager to allow me to download files from the browser.
Working perfectly for me....thanks so much for the link!!!!
Note: if you are getting the " it's not the original version of the game" message, go to your apps, uninstall it.....go back to first post and follow the directions and it'll worked perfectly
Don't have time to play it now but it installed perfectly for me. Thanks!
is this downloadable via the browser?
Update: May have went the long way in doing this but I don't have my usb cable here at work. Downloaded to my pc, changed file extension to .zip. Attached in email and sent it to my gmail account. Download to phone and save attachment using astro file manager. Changed file extension to .apk. Don't know if its going to work but the icon changed to the picture of the game so I'm guessing it may have worked.
I will see if it work when I connect to a wifi network later on today.
Update: That above method works in you are on the go and do not have a usb cable available
Works completely fine as instructions shown. Downloaded, hooked it up via USB, APK on sdcard then unmount... used ASTRO to install.. airplane, open app, choosed wifi and done.

You know you can send yourself an apk through gmail and download it through gmail in the web browser, but not the gmail app.
What ultra spikey said....
Copy link and email it to yourself.....and then open the email and link from your phone and it'll automatically download it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I am already rooted and everything is fine. Have the Android Market and so forth already running. What I am trying to figure out is where in settings was the options to use Unknown Sources and Debugging. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it not accessible even after rooted? Is there an app that lets you get into those options?
Also on another note. Where does anything downloaded for an app store or other files go to. On my Galaxy Tab there is a folder on the root SD called downloads. There is nothing like that here on the Nook. I downloaded Getjar but didn't install it. Can't seem to find where the apk is now to install it.
Go to your Applications and click on tgps_launcher and hit Start.
Everything you want is there.
I must be completely dense today. What is tgps_launcher?
It pretty much brings up the hidden development settings.
When you rooted, you put it on your NT to enable USB debugging, unknown sources, etc.
I don't see anything called that at all. No app at least that I can see. You sure it is on my Nook now. I used the below way to root on my mac...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19592179&postcount=1
and gave me the following apps...
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
Go to Indirect's thread on rooting and DL the tgps_launcher.apk there.
Then hit the "n" button, touch search, type in "tgps", you should be able to see it and launch it right out of the search results. Once it has launched, touch "start" and you will be at the menu you want.
ETA: Here is a link to Indirect's thread. Find this bit
Code:
here is an app to pull up usb debugging menu
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/...s_launcher.apk
and DL that file right onto your Nook.
Look for Appmenu - this will take you to menu settings where you'll see development, etc.
- AppMenu
- Open Application Settings
- check Unknown Sources
- Development - check USB Debugging, etc

Is Appmenu an actual app in the app store or something within settings?

I don't have mine in front of me at the moment, but it's not on the SDCard. It's under My Files/Downloads somewhere in the B&N data folders in the actual tablet storage. Just don't remember where exactly off the top of my head without looking at it.
If you have a launcher installed look to see if you already have it, otherwise:

Thanks everyone for your responses and help. Greatly appreciated.
Now that I got a chance to look, actual location for downloads is media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet.
I recently went to open the Market on my unrooted 8.9. I am getting the following message.
"Your Client Is out of date.It will be automatically updated shortly"
Its been this way for the past 24 hours. Any ideas?
Thanks
this is the latest market version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20285184
just download the apk and save it on your device. you have to have your device set to allow installation of apps with unknown source (somewhere in the settings menu) then just navigate to the apk using a file browser and install it!

you need Downloader Browser-Plugin 1.0
Have the same problem with my new "Vodafone TV" box and couldn't find any solution in the internet. Tried loading the browser plugin suggested above but same error message! The downloader app just simply won't connect to the net, period!!!
So, anyone has a solution, or as the op said, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Pitching in, as I'm a new Shield user with the same issue. Here's the page from AFTnews explaining the issue and the work-around; includes an installation video.
aftvnews.com/browser-plugin-now-available-for-downloader-app-on-android-tv
In short, browser capability had to be removed from the Google Play version so the app could remain in the store. The dev provides an APK at browser.aftvnews.com to add the capability back in. Should be the same APK as rainman74 linked to above (Downloader-Browser-Plugin-v1.0.apk).
However, the AFTnews' recommended action of pointing the Download app's browser to browser.aftvnews.com did not work for me; I received the same web access error message from Downloader.
To get around this, I loaded another web browser (Puffin for Android TV), entered the browser.aftvnews.com URL, and Puffin downloaded the APK. I needed to relaunch Puffin, then select the APK from Puffin's download list to install. Once installed, Downloader was able to access the web.
Hope this helps.

So what do you actually enter at the Downloader http:|| screen?
Good question. I may not have been clear, but I was not able to download the patch APK through the Download application.
Instead, I installed another web browser application (Puffin TV, available in the Android TV's play store) and put the browser.aftvnews.com URL in there. When the Puffin TV web browser loaded the URL, it automatically downloaded the APK from the site.
Once the APK was downloaded, I returned to Puffin TV's main menu and selected the file from the download list. When I selected the APK, it installed the APK to patch Downloader. After that, the Downloader app was able to again access the Internet through its browser.
Note: if you are installing Puffin TV to install the APK, you will need to tell your device to allow Puffin TV to install APK's. By default, Android doesn't grant permission for applications to install APK's. That's OK; you can do so under settings and my guess is your device will tell you how to do so.
Hi
Recently inherited a Droid DNA that would like to use only for Audio & Video (No phone, Internet...)
Looked for a file manager app. Did not find any. Downloaded the man http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf and did quick search also nothing.
Is there a hidden file manager? If not appreciate suggestions how to install one.
Have access to a Windows 7 PC but wonder if 1st need to install a HTC Droid DNA driver?
Thanks
Ken
Update
Searched and found Verizon User Guide for phone http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf
Read entire guide, no mention of a File Manager.
Decided to check App Manager (which should have done 1st) and under All found listed Android File Manager v5.5.24..... (408 KB) and enabled.
Am wondering why it did not show on Home Screen, so rechecked User Guide.
Found p87 "Adding apps and other shortcuts on your Home screen" and followed instructions "1. Go to Settings, and then tap Personalize. 2. Tap Customize home screen. 3. Tap > Apps or Shortcuts. You can: ยง Swipe to browse through the apps or shortcuts"
Somehow All Apps never opened (only Apps already on Home screen).
Then tried "Tap to search for specific apps or shortcuts" when did this No Keyboard opened...
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Will add, since the phone had many apps disabled when I got it, am wondering if some necessary files are disabled?
Thanks
Ken
