anywhere on the sd card will work, use a file explore program like astro and just click the file and hit the install button. make sure first to go under settings-applications and make sure there is a check mark for unknown sources. that lets you install any apk from your sd card.
you could also just push the file usiong adb but thats more complicated if you're new

hey guys ever since i flashed cm6 i lost the sprint voicemail app. I tried using google voice but for some reason it cannot authorize my phone because the provider i have is unauthorized to use automated vm system. I assume the provider is cm6, not sure on that one. I found this link to get the sprint app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731637. From the forum theres the download update and then the apk. I assume i need the apk zip file. What I need to know is if i have to extract it or copy to my sd card before i go into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache and then flash it. thx
If you are using the apk, there is no need to wipe and flash. Just put the apk on your SD card, use a file explorer like astro, and install it. This is the easiest way to do it, when I did it though, I just pulled the apk out of a stock rom. Works great.

OT, but has anyone found a solution to the frequent sms' from 9016 that are instruction for the vm app other than using handcent and blocking the number?

If you use a file explorer to select it you should get an option to install it..
Hi All,
I've taken a look around and can't seem to find anything relating to this so I'm gona ask.
I've just got my DHD and love it but I have never used Android before so it's taking some getting used to. ( I'll get there I'm sure )
My question is I have an MP3 file I'd like to use for my notifications ( comes from my HTC Touch HD ) but for the life of me I can't seem to put it in the media folder that the DHD uses. I can find it using the ES file search thing but it won't let me copy in to it?
Do I need to get admin rights? Rooting or whatever its called?
Sorry if it's a daft question. but its annoying the bejesus outa me.
Thanks in advance
JD
I think you have got to place the mp3 in a folder on the root of your sdcard called "notifications".
Hope that works!
Hi CD993,
Thanks for the reply but..
I can't find any folders on the sdcard other than the ones i've made from having it in my Touch HD.
I can however find the Notifications folder in audio on the phones memory. This has all the MP3's that the phone uses. But still I can't paste to it. Just says copy failed.
I'm just wondering if I need to "jailbreak it" or root....something something to be able to add to the root folders.
put your phone in settings,connect to pc,select disc drive now your computer willl see your sdcard as a drive look at your my computer and either go into my mobile at the bottom or go into the sdcard on my computer it comes up as Idrive as copy your mp3 file into your mobile here disconnect your mobile and search for it in your mp3 files through your media music app.you may have to reboot your mobile once disconnected from the computer so the file gets noticed.
if this is not what your looking for then sorry but I dunno.
Hi Magpie,
Thanks but no.
I already have the MP3 on the sdcard but I can't seem to copy it to the system/media/audio/notifications. This is where the phone reads the sounds that it plays when you receive email/txt etc.
Maybe I should just flash a new ROM although this appears harder than it is with the touch HD on winmo lol
Thanks for the reply anyways
JD
Edit:
I've since managed to Root the phone "give me root admin rights" but still am unable to copy files to the phones root folders.
Im sure you just put the mp3's in a folder on your sdcard called notifications e.g. sdcard/notifications/ringtone.mp3

Hi CD993,
Maybe there is a problem with my sdcard? I don't have such a folder on it. I have a music folder data folders google folders I've looked through them all and can't find a notifications folder on the sdcard?
Should the DHD be using the sdcard as its main source for audio etc?
SdCard/Sounds/Notifications
SdCard/Sounds/Alarms
SdCard/Sounds/Ringtones
SdCard/Sounds/UI
Make the folders as you need them. Then you will be able to find them in the Sounds tab in the menu.

If you have root access you should be able to write them to the main memory using a program like Root Explorer. You can find system sounds in /System/Media/Audio.

Flashing Android ROMs is so much easier than WM. It's getting the root that is the *****. It took me ages to work out how to install the ADB drivers when I first got my Desire.
Flashing ROM's just replaces two folders, so if you are updating from one AOSP ROM to another, maybe even Sense I don't know I don't use it, generally speaking you don't need to wipe the phone and you keep all of your apps.

Hi Kal,
Yes as far as I'm aware I have root perms. i used VISIOnary? and followed a thread on here When I open cmd promt or whatever its called on linux and type su it gives me the # which apparantly means i have rooted it?
Yet I was unable to copy to that folder on the phones main memory.
That ADB driver I'm afraid i've not even looked into it yet all I know is my win 7 failed to install it when I plugged the phone in for the first time.
I've gotten as far as using titanium back up for apps etc. Just need to do some more research I guess I'm new to android
anyway thanks for all your help people. i'm sure i'll have more questions in the appropriate threads as time goes by. Thanks all

Personal Audio Files for Yahoo! Mail
Everything you all have said works, if I put something in mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications I am able to then see the files under the Sounds Setting.
My issue is needing Yahoo Mail to see the notification. For that I need to copy the files to /system/media/audio/notification and for that I am not able to change the permissions. I have tried ES File Explorer and I am not even able to move up from sdcard. I have also tried total commander and I get "Error writing to target file! /system/media/audio/notifications/yahoo.mp3
Can someone please help. I really like the Yahoo! application.
Setting Yahoo Notification
Root explorer will allow you to change the directory from Read Only to Read Write. It can be purchased from Play (Market) or acquired by other means as I did.
Copy the file to /system/media/audio/notification using root explorer.
Reboot.
Tada...
hi,
i recently got the xperia play for christmas and i want to play my psone games on it. so i got the PSXperia tool but requires to get a .apk and .zpak files, which are in the internal memory, which i cannot access through windows explorer. is there a tool that allows me to access this? its an unrooted phone, on 2.3.4
thank you
AFAIK none of the instructions @ https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki require you to access the internal memory.
Urrr...not on the website...on the actual application though
"You need to extract some files from the Crash bandicoot apk that came with your Xperia Play
The APK is either com.sony.playstationblahblahblah.apk or com.sony.playstation.blahblahblah.apk in the system/app folder of your android phone's INTERNAL MEMORY"
So I can get the ZPAK from the SD card, however I cannot get the APK. Help?
You should be able to use adb pull to get it
(Do a temp root with zergRush if you have to).
Sorry Im a noob could you explain what those are and how you do it?

no.
this is what wrong with the Internet. people expect to be told everything.
many threads in Xda on how to do it or perhaps Google how to use adb to pull files
rant over.. this wasn't personal

Download Astro File Manager from the Android Market. Launch the app and find the directory where the APK file is located, which is in "/system/app".
Press down on the APK file and tap on "copy". Then go back to your SD card and paste it there.
^^ This was the fastest way I was able to get that APK file.

Reason it's saying that is because that *.obb file isn't put where it needs to go, so it wants to download it, and thinks it's not paid for.
I don't know the location on the AFTV as my ES File Explorer won't get off the SDCard. But it's generally ../android/obb directory.
Also, you need to copy the *.obb file over before installing the *.apk file, or it will error out with the same error.
Thanks for response. I tried that but didnt work. Here's my location of where the OBB file is
\Xperia Tablet Z\Internal storage\Android\obb\com-lego-fusion-townmaster

hmm, okay. Well, I'm getting my usb stick tomorrow and will have to deal with this myself, so give me a few days and maybe I'll have an answer for you.
Great! Hope you can figure this out. Thanks again
okay, what I have found out so far is that the obb directory is /sdcard/Android/obb and I needed to turn on root access in es file to see it.
Copying the directory of stuff into there, and then you install the *.apk
If you installed the *.apk first, then uninstall it, then copy the stuff over, then install it.
Should work for most stuff, but I haven't played with it much. Been busy.
Was really hard to find at first, the location. But I didn't have root enabled in es file.
Where did you find it?
Where did you get this obb file I've search the internet for it and all I get is this same exact post on 20 different website's.
Thanks

it's free, I didn't try it on my Amazon TV though.
I've an app on my Tab S that I downloaded from the Google Play store and want to have it on my other Tablet, however the app is no longer available on the Play Store. So is there a way to copy the app that's on my Tab S and load it onto my other Tablet?
Thanks

Pretty sure you will need root for that.
The .apk file should be in \data\app or possibly \system\app

I though you could make a back up with samsung-Kies and then pick the apk from the back up dir on your pc.
Thats what I did in the past and I'm not rooted.
Maybe I'm wrong but I see a lot of apk files in the back up dir.

That might work, I've never used Kies so I can't be sure. But all you need is the APK file, so if you can find it on your local PC then your good.

Just back it up with es file manager, zip it and send it via bluetooth..thats it
AnyShare from Lenovo (Link) is a nifty tool to send files from device to device. Have not tried it without root before maybe it works. You can send those app's apk that's already installed to another device.
All user installed apps are in \data\app and you don't need root to copy them out, just a file browser than can navigate to the folder. Some apps that are taken off the Play Store sometimes still appear in the All tab of the My Apps section so have a look there just in case.
