[Q] How to download APKs

How do I download and install an .apk file which is hosted on filesonic? Ive tried downloading multiple files and they end up as .htm or .html
Thanks to the ppl that reply!

Don't download from the phone. Download from a pc, then send the file to the phone.

Exactly then use a file manager like Astro to install.

Oh ok, thanks! I tho I could download from phone u.u

You can try to download opera mobile and use that. Seems to have fixed some if not most of my downloading issues.

I had the same question last week. It got annoying. Maybe now I can try this
World peace with no regard for human life.

You can download apk with the phone, just be sure to open it with the package installer/ I know if you have emulators [especially psx4droid] it'll try to open the apk and say rom not supported [cuz its not a rom].

Guys, do I just flash this one thru TWRP, thanks

It failed via local update (renamed as update.zip)
I assume this is for X727 right?
Mine has just unlocked bootloader, is that an issue?

there's nothing on the forum yet, it just says soon

This afternoon I develop TARS 21s USA version.

Hmm something weird is going on. Before the attempt to run the local update, update.zip has checksum of 7e28346f5ff1341f98710f75677629f2
Now after the failed update, checksum changed to 65bb92966e5c251265e22f8a2365847c
I thought the recovery is just gonna unzip and write the contents somewhere?

same here, md5 is matched but still

Here's what I did. Had to jump through a few hoops, but it did work.
1) Click oh the link on the phone. Gave me the choice opening in File Manager or Solid Explorer. I chose Solid Explorer. File Manager gives me an error.
2) After download, Solid Explorer shows files contained in the downloaded file. Exit out of Solid Explorer.
3) Open Google Drive > Hamburger menu > Recent > 3 dot menu of the '5.8.021S_sta.zip' > download. Now the zip file is in your download folder.
4) Go back to Solid Explorer, copy and paste the downloaded zip file from /downloads/ to the root direction 'INTERNAL MEMORY'. Rename the file to 'update.zip'
5) Open the 'System update' app (stock app) > 3 dot menu > local update . Then it should automatically find the file and ask if you want to update.
Hope this helps. No problems so far with 21s.

No problem hope it works out well for you. I had trouble understanding the software but I managed to unbrick my phone with it.

I've a look to the zip file...
The exe file looks "bizarre"
┼¼▒╚ÐÃ╝▒¥╚╣ñ¥▀V1.1.4.exe
The MD5 file is corrupt : "erreur d'entête" in French
I think it is because of the file name. I'll test unzip under linux

Yes mines like that too for me the program name is:Ŭ±ÈÑǼ±¾È¹¤¾ß. Haha.
I literally had to guess what I had to do to get it working the pictures helped a little.

I change the name using Linux Mint.
I'll upload the file in a few days.
I'll have a look the the text files (resources) in order to give some explanations if I can do it.

There's no need to rename the files/folders using linux. Opening the .zip file in explorer (win10) is enough to uncompress it, then tou can rename files/folders as you like.
The software installs and run just fine. Nubia Z17 is supported up to rel. 3.08 (so it seems exploring the "Recovery" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\nubia\BackupRecoveryTool.
All the recovery files are in .7z format and password encrypted (don't know at the moment if the password is embedded into the recovery tool main program.

Don't have W10
<HS>
I've some problems too to unlock the boot loader.
After unlock it once and flash TWRP, all other attempts are KO (can't flash with adb).
I wanted to flash the "standard recovery" to install the OTA update (modded 3.08) and reflash after TWRP.
I'll test it later

Downloadling applications with custom Rom

So I am pretty new to this, but here goes....
About a month ago I got some help from a friend and downloaded lineage OS 15.1 to my Lenovo p2a42 device. Very happy with everything, until yesterday when the phone began to vibrate and then proceed to shut down with a blue indicator light showing. After some fiddling and attempts to get the latest update of lineage, I got stuck in my first boot loop. After all my various attempts to solve the problem, I decided to do a clean wipe and reinstall lineage. Which I've done successfully I believe, no crashes yet. What I am having trouble with now is remembering how to download the first applications since I don't have the Gsuite or Gapps downloaded. I remember my friend mentioning a problem with the stock file manager for lineage and I believe that is one of the first applications we downloaded along with the apk pure app store.
If anyone can help this newbie figure out how to download the apk mirror to my device without an appstore, I would appreciate it.
>maybe the answer is to download to my laptop first and then use adb to flash it to my device?
Thanks for the help!!

If you want to have Google apps on your phone, search for Open GApps and download for ARM64 devices (nano package is recommended). Then flash it alongside LOS in TWRP. You will have Google Play Store installed.
But, if you only want APKPure store then you must download the APK from their website (either via computer then move it to your phone, or by using default LOS browser). Navigate to your downloaded APK using file manager and open it, you will have a prompt to install it or not. That's pretty much it though.

I downloaded apk pure directly on my mobile from the website (not interested in GApps). It opens in the LOS default file manager and there are basically no options to run it. I think this is because the root may be disabled, my boot loader is unlocked, but it says adb only in my developer options settings. I am new to using adb to flash an apk. I was able to flash lineage, but not sure how to install the apk. For instance, should my phone be on when I enter command install xxx.apk or should it be in recovery mode or boot mode? I tried once already and the apk install failed, not sure what I am doing wrong here. Thanks for the response above.

Answered my own question. Was able to download a file manager using adb, this allowed me download apk mirror.

[Redmi 7A] [LineAgeOS 17] Failed to install SuperSU

TWRP Version: 3.3.1-1
LineAgeOS: 17
Smartphone: Xiaomi Redmi 7A
Hello, i cannot install SuperSU on my system.
I have download all files from official site!
At first I tried the following file (64 bit) and got the error:
Code:
Updater proces ended with ERROR: 255
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/addonsu-16.1-arm64-signed.zip
Then I tried the 32 bit version:
Code:
set_metadata: Error on lstat of "/system/etc/init/superuser.rc": Too many symbolic links encountered
Updater proces ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/addonsu-16.1-arm-signed.zip
I don't know what i can do. Does anyone have a hint? I also tested version 15 of the add-on and received the same error.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
David

LineageOS 17.1 is not meant to be rooted. Only root over ADB is generic. If you really need root for apps, use magisk.

Thank you for your answer.
I tried to install the add-on for another reason. I can install apps, but otherwise I cannot access the storage.
Example 1: If I take a photo, it cannot be saved. No access to the memory
Example 2: If I want to save a file in the browser, the browser crashes immediately
Example 3: Creating or saving any form of file leads to a crash
In a log file I found the entry "../xbin/su no such file or directory" extremely often
So my hope was to be able to solve the problem by installing the addon.
I do not know why that is.

That's not a known bug. Maybe you have a bad installation
