how do i install .apk files downloaded straight to my thunderbolt?
Settings -> applications -> check install from unknown source. Then use a file browser to go to the file on your phone and just click on it and you should be able to install it
Send it to your self in gmail is pretty easy too.
Go to the market and search app installer and choose one of the many available.

If you mean .gpk, NO
If you want to install .apk then YES.
How?
1. Copy the apk files you want to install to your phone
2. On your phone, Goto Settings - Security - Enable unknown sources (under Device Administration)
3. open "My files" or any other file explorer you have previously installed. My files is pre-installed on your phone.
- browse to the folder where you copied those apk files to (in step 1.)
- open each apk file, one after the other to install.
Done

Gpk files is something concered with audio files or something and has nothing to do with android http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/gpk
To install apk files u should check unkown sources in settings >> security ( ICS )
Or settings >> location and Security (GB)
actually there is some games that is formated to gpk the only diffrence is it has an installer that automatically put all the file in its destination like the sd files or data. thou you can you winzip or rar to extract it if you dont want to use the installer called 'thumb play installer'
another method - http://www.muzhiwan.com/
install the top right apk

from play store download any GPK installer
Let's say you don't have internet access at the moment.
Let's say all you have is fresh install of CyanogenMod 9, which for some reason, does not come with a File Manager :face palm:
Let's say you have an apk file on your SD card.
How would you install the apk file? Terminal emulator, using which commands or another way?
By the way, ASTRO File Manager vs. ES File Explorer, which one and why?
- Put your apk file to sdcard (ex: es.apk)
- open internet browser
- type "file:///sdcard/es.apk" then press Go

I just figured this out on my own and it worked:
How to install app called Example Name.apk from Android phone's Terminal Emulator:
This shows you how to change directory to SD card ; list contents ; change directory to folder called Google Play which contains file to be installed called Example Name.apk
cd sdcard/
ls
cd "google play"/
ls
su
pm install "Example Name.apk"
Yep there are many way to install apks

Wow...exactly what I wanted to know.
Thanks for this! :cyclops:
No Explorer/No Playstore
This is a shameful noob problem. Can someone help me please? :fingers-crossed:
I deleted my file explorer app so I can't execute apks from my SD. Also I can not download them from Play Store because it crashes (probably cuz I deleted this system file that has something to do with managing Google Accounts. Currently, I only have the following Google apps installed - Google Backup Transport, Google Contacts Sync, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework)
I rooted my Sony Xperia Arc with the brilliant, super easy rooting kit found here
Putting down my phone details in case they are required -
Model: LT15i
Android: 4.0.4
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.1.B.0.587
Should I just try installing a ROM otherwise?
Thank you so much for reading!
Just in case anyone else comes by here.
If I were you (months ago), I would have reinstalled the exact same ROM, directly over the ROM.
Or, I would have installed GAAPS. Or I would have connected a cable and dropped the files I needed, like a playstore.apk onto the phones internal memory, and then executed it through the browser. file:///path/*.apk
I was going over ADB from my PC, via usb debugging.
System app is just copy to your system/app folder.
and set permition to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Adb push *.apk /system/app
Normal apk is
Adb install *.apk

You need to select the correct platform, ARM, and correct Android version and variant, I prefer micro, definitely not full.
You need to know how to install this from your sdcard before booting in.
Hello I'm trying to fix my phone because I was deleting the junk from T-Mobile but it seems that i deleted something important so I don't have Launcher.
I tried to open the browser, download Go Launcher ex.apk and install it but my phone says the file cannot be open, so my 2nd plan was to download it direct from Play, so I open the browser and want to install but it says I need to open the Play app, anyone know if its posible to open an app from a link or install and apk from the computer to the phone like on Nokia Ovi Suite?
Any help would be appreciated
You need to enable non-market sources in the system settings.
If you do not have a file manager, you can install an .apk 2 ways
In browser, type "file:///path-to-file/file.apk"
Through adb "adb install path-to-apk"
