Is adaway down? Last few times I tried updating it has failed. It started happening after my last flash I don't know if it is something I did or not

I think Google is doing away with ad blockers from the play store. You can still download and update them, but it has to be through that developers website...
I have the app installed it is the actual host download that keeps failing. Should I uninstall and get another copy of it

Probably.... If it's not working for you and there are other apps that will replace the hosts file. Sure why not
Google adaway. Click in the link in the results for the open source project. There is qr code there to scan for f-droid which is a market for free open source apps. Install adaway from f-droid, the newest update will install hosts from the four sources without fail.

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?

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.

Since I am running a custom rom, I no longer get the VZW apps in market. I tried to download the Medco Pharmacy app from the android market and it said my device is not supported. I think because this app was developed in partner with VZW, it is only available on their app market- not in my rom.
Can anyone download it and post the apk somewhere for me?
It's totally not the end of the world if I don't get this app, but it would be nice to have.
Thanks
Got it... latest nightly allowed me to dl it.

Could you possibly post the apk file or a link to the apk file for the rest of us who would love the app but can't get it? Ty

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.

Hi all,
the title basically says it all:
When I install an app via apk file (because let's say the app is not yet available in Play but the apk was leaked), will I be able to get updates through Play once it has arrived there? Or will I have to reinstall the app from the Play Store and loose all app-related data (for example game states...)?
Whenever I have side loaded an .apk I always get updates through market. But then again every app I have side loaded I have downloaded at one point or another but I should assume your just fine

You may have to manually update the app the first time, it may not show up in your My Apps list. Also if the existing apk has been modified it may not let you update without uninstalling first. IIRC it has something to do with the app signatures not matching when an apk gets modified, like a video app that has been modified to work with root.

get a root app uninstaller and uninstall playstore and install it again the latest version?
If you have adaway installed, disable it and reboot then open play store it should fixed. Even if you don't have adaway installed then install it, disable it, it should generate standard host files and that should fix play store. I've had this issue on Energy ROM while using VPN's.

Really weird problem and solution. I've been using Adaway for sometime and have never had issues with the play store even though I have several additional host sources added to my host file. I never had a problem before that either when I was using the "Mother of All Host files" adblocking host file I obtained from a thread here on XDA. Really weird and strange that's all I can say.
@Odysseus1962 it's not Adaway that causes this issue, its some other apps mostly VPN and market apps(mobogeine or 1mobile market etc) that adds a line in host file which causes play store to say "No connection" or can't connect to server while adding Google account. You may re-enable Adaway after disabling it should work with no issues.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't use VPN and the only other markets I use are Fdroid and Amazon, so I haven't run across this situation yet. But it's always good to know something like this should I ever have such an issue. At least now I would have an idea where to look to troubleshoot.
