That's a very odd question. you can install applications using the android market or if you have apk files download generic file browser and use it to install the apps.
apps that i heve on my memory card..

vapk files download a generic file browser and

Oi file manager should do the trick.
Astro file manager does the job as well
And AstroZIP too...
But I've a question: is there a way to install an .apk file using just the terminal shell?
I.e.: if I've not Internet access and the build I use have not a burned in file manager...
I know, I can use an androidupdate.tar but suppose I've no way to build it up and have the .apk on the sdcard, from a previous download...

i believe you're using haret to run android from SD card, unpack androidinstall with 7zip, copy file browser app .apk into /system/app/ (etc. astro file browser), repack it and then install again with haret. now you can use file browser to install apps on SD.
or :
use terminal to copy file .apk into /data/app/ , reboot android
alternatively, taken from DirectMatrix post (not tested):
put .apk in your sd card root to easily find it then run command as below,
su
busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app
Oh... I suppose this is an answer to my curiosity too
Yes, I know... it'd be sufficient I googled for a while but, as I said, mine was a question arose at the time I was writing...
CU
---- EDIT ---- EDIT ---- EDIT ----
Ok, just tried...
New to this world and with just a little little little bit of knowledge about UNIX-Linux, maybe I did a mistake but:
copying the .apk in /data/app and resetting did the job instead using busybox didn't
As I can see having a look to busybox docs, the install command with no other parameters just copies the file so you can do the same with:
su
cp /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app
More... if I understood well, sd-ext is the application repository used if you enable apps2sd and if you have not (I don't, at present time, as I'm testing...) the method doesn't work...
Correct?
Apps2SD requires an ext3 partition on the SD card, and if you only have ext2 or fat32 it does not work.
When i install an application from the market, in which folder it has been installed? Can i change the installation folder manually and collect all the installations into one folder i.e. /mnt/sdcard/Applications?
Also, where i can find .apk files downloaded from Android Market?
PS. I have Official Froyo ROM (not rooted)
I need to reinstall task manager 1.1 (com.sec.android.app.controlpanel.apk) I installed 1.5 and it is not working for me. I have another phone with 1.1 but can not find the file with android commander. If someone could please post the file or tell me ware it is located it would be most helpful.
/system/app/jobmanager.apk
Thanks so much
So I downloaded the jobmanager.apk from the system dump file suggested on this forum, which was found over at android central. I place the file in the root of my SD card and use astro file manager to install. I get "this application can not be installed" error messenger. I attempted to install with android commander, this really messed my phone up and I had to do a nand restore. I know I'm a noob but I have no idea whey this is giving me trouble.
OK so I know why I could not do this. I need us use root explorer as described in another post to copy the file to the system/app directory. Then change permissions for the file with root explorer.
http: // forum. xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=926910 how do i put this on my phone? i deleted mine by accident and the phones file manager says "problem parsing the package". it doesnt even show up on my astro file manager. i have tried .apk installers from the market too too.
You should have an app installer built in.
Just download to your sd card. Allow in Settings>Applications to install from "Unknown Sources".
Then browse to the .apk using file manager or astro, and click on the file to install.
did all of the above still nothing....
You need this for Eclair / 2.1 ?
This one worked for me on Eclair, it is the Froyo version patched for Eclair.
thanks antibyte. works perfect.
Hi Folks
I hope someone can help me out here...
I recently cleaned out my rooted DHD with Titanium backup, removing all Vodafone branded crap in there, but i accidentally also removed HTC Music, lol
Fortunately i made a nandroid backup with CWM, but I'm unable to browse the content as it seems the .bin archive is not accessible/compatible with the standard compression tools (like winrar)
How do i access the archive, and where (what folder on my DHD) do i copy the HTC music .apk to when extracted?
Or can i just re-install the apk with HTC sync?
If it's not possible then that's OK as I'm using Poweramp at the moment.....
thanks in advance!
get a rooted stock rom with your base (1.32, 1.72...) , extract the htcmusic.apk from it and move it to your system/app with root explorer or adb
Thanks for your swift response!
I got hold of a stock ROM (from the development threads here) but have the same problem as with my nandroid backup.. i cannot open/browse the archive content.
Should i use some specific tool to be able to extract/browse the .img archives?
Here you go, extracted it from [ROM] LeeDrOiD HD v2.2.3 [Kernel] LeeDrOiD v2.2.9 .zip file instead of the stock .img, using 7-Zip program for Windows 7 PC. When using it, right click -> open archive -> System / App -> copy........
View attachment HtcMusic.apk
Extracting the apps from a custom ROM is the best and simplest way to do this.
If anyone needs to extract his nandroid backup though, unyaffs (http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/) and cygwin (or a native Linux environment) will do the trick.
Thanks all for your advice and guidance.. i got HTC music back with both the methods mentioned here
At least i know now how to get in to the nandroid archive.
Cheers, R
Gents,
I need your help again...
Now I've managed to get HtcMusic.apk back to my system/app folder.
I've tried to push the .apk with ADB but that didn't work as the system/app folder was read only, so i had to copy the apk to the root my sd stick and move it to the proper folder with root explorer after i changed the folder to temporarily read/write.
But now the application doesn't show up anywhere on my phone - Like its invisible - I rebooted the phone but that has no effect as well.
I can only find it with root explorer.
How can i get it to work again?
Did you change the permissions to be the same as the other files in that directory?
yes i did, like all the other files in that directory: rw--r--r--
but to no effect
Did you try using package installer to install from the new directory or sdcard?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No i did not try that yet.. i just moved the apk. from my sd/root to system/app as advised here..
Sorry for the dumb question, but where can i find package installer?
edit: Ok i found i can install via root explorer, but it doesn't seem to work.. packet not installed, not even when i change the system/ap directory to read/write and change the apk permissions to r/w/x
Should i try to install the apk via HTC synch on my PC? (although i understood that it is not possible to reinstall sense apps this way)
Hi,
Has anyone an idea what i can try next?
perhaps fixing permissions in rom manager, or installing the .apk via recovery?
And I'm also wondering if the system/app directory is the correct folder where HTC Music goes (because there's also an /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside).. Can someone check and confirm please?
thanks
I think it's safe to bump the thread as more that a month has passed.
Does anyone have an idea what to try next? All my attempts have failed so far.
Would also like to know if system/app is the correct folder where htcmusic.apk is installed as there's also /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside
Ok, im a bit closer getting it to work.
I flashed HTC music in a zip file through CWM recovery - A guy from an Dutch Android revolution site made a zip and advised to flash it via CWM recovery - and the app is back.
the only thing is that it force_closes (com.htc.music stopped unexpectedly)
Fixing permissions through rom manager doesn't work either.
What can i do next?
p.s. HTC music version i'm using is 2.0.0000.278886 - So maybe it's an outdated version?
