I bought a karaoke machine with a remote control by an android (cheap) tablet. I want to use a better tablet to control the machine. How do I transfer the app to a better tablet or maybe on my phone?
You'll have to get a file explorer app then go to system/app, then find the apk and copy paste it to the root of the memory. Plug it into a pc then look for the copied apk then move it to the other device then tap to instal

Or you can use dropbox/box.
Upload the apk and install it on another phone.

Hey xda
I'm using es file explorer and I finally got it to sync with my desktop ove wifi server ..my question is how do I play videos from the phone directly from the pc without downloading...like click the viddeo and it plays directly on the phone?

Those are two different things. Syncing just makes sure all thes files match each other. Your phone is downloading anything from the sync folder and vice versa. I don't know anyway to play videos from your pc without downloading it first. Hopefully someone else can help you.

What's the point? Takes all but a few mins at most to transfer the video from phone to comp.

You need a DLNA compatible player on your computer and phone; easiest would be WMC on your computer and Twonky on your phone

Whatever applicatin you use as a media center on your computer should have built in DLNA (server/streaming) capabilities; all you need to do is enable that feature and search the Market for a DLNA player/client

Streaming is still downloading to your phone. Its just behind the scenes.

Yes, just as when you stream via Hulu/Netflix, its getting downloaded to your temp/cache; the difference being you can start watching immediately as opposed to waiting for a massive file to finish downloading and you don't need the actual space to store the media.

If your computer has a powerful enough CPU to encode video on the fly (dual core within the past 1 or 2 years at least in performance) you can use an app like Emit to stream in real time. I have a laptop with a Core i5 M450 @ 2.4 GHz and it works surprisingly well. Check out the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15611569
Basically it's similar to Apple's Air Video if you're familiar with that.

That is a silly argument of semantics. There is a huge difference in a tiny downloaded cache, and moving say a 1 GB (or larger) file to your phone.
There a several apps on the Market that will do this function. I've used Plex, and it works well on our phone. Cost is $4.99, but it easily streams video from your computer to your phone over WiFi, and easy to setup. You can even set it up to stream over 3G, and other WiFi networks when you are away from home, as long as you forward the ports on your home computer (takes a bit more setup to do this).
If you have a lot of movies on your computer, its pretty awesome to be able to browse and stream them from anywhere. Plex is not necessarily the best app of this type, its just the only one I've tried. The app suggested by c00ller above seems very similar. That one has a free version, which is a bonus since you can test drive it before committing your $$$.
It may be silly but I thought the OP was looking for a way to play files directly off his computer like a network drive. I apologise if it seemed I was being a contrarian.
P.s.
I suppose that downloads to your phone as well.... anywho...

Its easy with ES File Explorer, I had done it few times.
Share a folder in your PC with videos
Turn on wifi in your mobile
Go to LAN from the tab (instead of local)
from menu ->new -> scan
it will show your pc Ip,
click and connect( i think u need passwords less sharing option in PC)
browse the folders, open any file (Suitable player needed in MOBILE)
ES will ask for choice to vopen the file in ES player or default player or some other player (in my case mobo player)
Just select and play.

Install a DLNA server on your PC. I use the (paid) Mezzmo server. A little searching will reveal some freeware ones too.
I have Mezzmo serving up shows I record and DVDs I've ripped, all stored on a 3TB hard drive in MP4 format. On my phone, and the kid's Android Tablets, I've install a DLNA client like Skifta. Skifta connects to Mezzmo, presents an easy-to-navigate browser. Just choose your video and play it.
My phone software in the office used to save voicemails as wav attachments that I could play natively in ICS by hitting the Play button in the attachments tab. I upgraded the phone system and now it uses mp3 which is more universal and was excited about. This way I don't have to keep telling people who have older versions of Android to use RemoteWave to listen to voicemails.
Now my GNex can't play the mp3 attachments inside the email app. I have to save the file and then open root explorer, browse to the file and manually open it. So it can play the file, it's not that it's in some uncompliant mp3 codec or a different codec with an mp3 extension. I just never get the option to even play the file which tells me that the email.apk doesn't know how to handle the .mp3 or maybe the music player isn't properly registered to play it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I had the same problem. Install this from the market:

Thanks, I already have software that can play them, I just want to use the stock player and avoid a 3rd party app. I'm looking for a setting or something that can be reset.

So after searching and searching I broke down and tried it and it doesn't work It is not listed in the list of applications to open the mp3 with from within the stock email app.
I was wondering if there were any network storage access apps out there for the N7. I'm not looking to stream to it, I'm mainly looking to see/access the files in their native format from my home server to my N7.
Search play store for smb

ES Explorer
It has LAN, 6 different cloud storages that you can link, and it has root Explorer built in (enable this feature in options menu). I stream movies from my buddys NAS with this file Explorer. It's free, at least check it out.

How can I copy a kindle fire apk to another android tablet? I am planning on getting my son a Nexus 7, his favorite app is watch disney xd, that he watches on an ipad. There is no app for android proper, but the app exists in the kindle app store. I would get him a Kindle fire hdx, but there is no rear facing camera.
Thanks for the help...pw
Find out if it is 1 or 2 gen. If it is one gen, Ok. First root (find the KFU in the android dev foum.) Now install es file explorer from google play (install that from KFU). Now install the disney app, and open es file explorer, turn on root, give it root permissions, and navigate to data/app and find the disney xd apk. Copy it to the sdcard partition. Now connect kindle to computer. Then find the apk, and place it on your desktop. Copy it to your nexus 7 and use es file explorer to install. If it is 2 gen, root using a different method and then do steps 3 onward.

What's the deal with the Market Helper app? Why won't it help? I know what Market Helper is used for, but have the big name app stores caught onto this sneaky little app and found a work-around to STILL block specific devices from dl'ing device specific apps? Reason being, I've got a Galaxy Note 3 and I'm trying to get the Watch Disney Jr. app on my phone for my son, but I'm havin a heck of a time figuring this out! lol
Hi, i have one, and i have buy usb otg cable. I can access the files, from google explorer, not from others, but i can not play files, like films.
I can copy the files to the nexus 5x memory and then play them.
Any way to work from the usb otg?
Do you have something that can play that codec? If you don't have something that can play the file it will not open. Try VLC for example and see if they work.

I think he means that he can't play it in the default built in media applications, on account of it not being cataloged in the media database. But like you suggested, VLC should be able to do that.
I had VLC, i can not play my video files from my USB OTG, i can see then, but i can open then, to play
From others file explorers i can not access my USB OTG, only from android 6 explorer
I don't bother with other explorers when I use mine. Did you check permissions for the other file explorers? They are off by default so you may need to turn on some stuff.
