[Q] CMP (Motorola Music App) in Barebones 1.3

I like the Motorola Music Player, its very simple and clean. I tried to install the apk, rename the .apk to .zip and install via recovery, and to copy the apk (there's a post from fritolay saying to do that) to /system/app, without success. Any ideas how to install this app?

Put the APK on to the Sd card.
Enable unknown sources in setting / applications
Use a file manager to locate the apk and run it.
it will install to the phone an then it should work.

This apk doesn't install via file manager, i have tried this before. I have seen in another post that needs to be copied to /system/app, but i haven't figured what to do next.
SOLVED! Copied the apk to /system/app and set the permission user read/write group and other read.

[Q] files folder in app drawer

hi, sorry if this has been posted before
my brother just got a desire today and i put doodle jump on it from my laptop but we cant find the files folder where i put it
my galaxy s has a 'my files' folder in app drawer where all music and apps download to but we couldnt find anything like that on his desire, just wondering if we are missing something
he downloaded astro file manager aswell but couldnt find it through that either
thanks

How have you moved Doodle Jump to the phone?
You have to download a File Manager like OI File Manager and install the .apk from there.
Or just download Doodle Jump from the market...

i moved it to his sd card when it came up on computer but cant find where it is to install
he searched for it with astro file manager but it said nothing found
is IO any better ??

Maybe you can try to copy it again to the SD-Card.
No it isn't that much different.

can't install apk files

I'm running the gingerbread 2.3 and for some reason now I can't install apk files. My phone was acting up so the sprint store set it back to factory; I installed astro file manager and appinstaller but when downloading apk files from the evo itself, I keep getting the content unsupported message. Before I was on gingerbread, I had a different apk installer but I can't seem to find anything else in market other than the appinstaller (using the new market) and unknown sources is checked under settings
any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same issue. havnt yet rooted my desire hd, dunno if this is my prob, only new to android, previous winmo user. can u let me knw if find a solution, and visa versa. cheers man

I use Super Box. It's an app in the market with a number of different tools such as apps2sd, apk installer, apk uninstaller, wipe cache, memory/cpu/battery logs, etc. One of those tools is an apk installer. It scans your whole SD card and displays all the apk files it finds so that you can easily select which ones to install. I'm not sure if you're having a system issue or an app issue. Try Super Box and see if you get the same message.
By the way, I used to use Astro all the time but have since switched to Ghost Commander for my file manager needs.
Edit: If your phone isn't rooted then you wont be able to tamper with any files within your root folder.

[SOLVED] How keep an .APK of an app downloaded from google play?

Couldn't you just install it, and then pull the apk back out of /data/app? Is it really that important that it doesn't install?
