Download Crutch

I loaded up the eclair rom onto my G1, which is working fine but for some reason, I cannot find "Download Crutch" lite or full in Market. Anyone have the apk of Crutch lite that can post a link or the file?

I couldn't find it either, I'm always downloading stuff to my phone. The Opera browser can download also.

finally!
i was lookin forever to find download crutch and finally found on another xda forum from http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1537845 that linda file manager has a plug in to do exactly what download crutch uses.
it works exceptionally well, as it is also packaged as a file manager

I've always used Linda File manager but was never successful in getting unsupported file types to download unless I had Download Crutch installed.

Anyone know of an app that allows for any type of download from the gmail app? Most attachments I get just have a "Preview" button, even those that the phone can't open.

Astro file manager has the option to do so

Last night I Googled "download crutch" and found five links to the file sharing sites that had it, then I remembered I had it tucked away on my computer the whole time haha.

Unable to install downloaded .apk

I've tried this a bunch of different ways and I'm unable to install any .apk that I download. I haven't tried downloading the .apk on my computer first though. So here's what I've tried;
Standard web browser - can't download says file not supported
Dolphin HD - able to download, get parse error installing from dolphin. No install button for APK in Astro File Manager
Xscope - able to download, parse error on install. Install button for APK in Astro File Manager but does not install
I do have the install unknown sources option turned on in application settings.
What am I missing here? I am rooted but nothing has been done since rooting.

Any reason you are not grabbing them from the market?
Why do you not have the stock browser?
Regarding the stock browser, you don't install it, you just drop it in system/app I believe.

1. Because it's not on the market :/
2. Standard web browser = stock browser
3. What?

Download the Astro Manager from the market. Then go to settings and enable browser download.

It could be an error with the apk itself. I get those errors sometimes where certain apks don't download correctly. Try another apk and see what happens.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

s15274n said:
Really?
Dolphin and xscope are in the market. I'm asking why are you not downloading them from the market?
I then asked, why do you not have the stock browser already? You said you just rooted and did nothing else... so... did you delete it or something?

You're misunderstanding him. He's trying to download a file and he's saying what happens when he tries to download this file on all these different browsers. He already has the browsers installed.

^ LOL, son of a bitc*... yeah, my bad OP... I was trying to figure out WTH you were doing.
Yes, I would recommend what another person said and get Astro and turn on the browser download option.
The error messages are for not a complete download (at least thats what I normally get in those situations).

I use apps installer from the market to install non market apps. Try it out

Apparently I didn't write my original post thoroughly enough. I have tried Astro already.

Try ES File Explorer by EStrongs.

Apk files won't download.. Help!

I have downloaded apps from 4shared and worked perfect.
But now when I try to download any apk file it says the file is not supported. And if I force the download it downloads its as .bin
And whatever I do I can't open it.....
How can I fix this.....?
Edit:
After I downloaded an app I manually changed it from .bin to .apk
Do I have to do this everytime?? Why is that? Help please

Please post all questions in Q&A section.

Thanks so much. I had previously installed Astro and had been downloading apk's but then did a factory reset, and reinstalled everything, and couldn't figure out why my apk's weren't installing. such a simple thing caused hours of frustration.

New Market is out how to install on non rooted Archos 70

I installed the Market apk with the fix last fall, but today I downloaded the new version of Market that brings movie and books to 2.2 or higher and the install failed. Is there a trick to getting this new market on the Archos.

Make sure Install from Unknown Sources is checked in the Applications menu, though I think the message would say this if that was the problem. Then try deleting the market apk from /data/test/froyo/system/app (I think that's the location, look around in there for it), then reinstalling with the downloaded apk. If it still won't install, try copying the downloaded apk to the location you deleted the original market apk from, and see if market shows up again.

I searched using Astro and the only file with market in the name is
/system/app/0MarketUpdater.apk I tried uninstall, no joy. I try long hold using astro to delete, no joy. I went to settings/applications uninstalled gAppinstaller rebooted tried to install the apk no joy. I have no option to uninstall market (system/applications say version 1.82 when I go to details)
so I am open to suggestions on how to update the market app.

You can't mess with anything on /system without root. That's just a shortcut anyways. The file has to be in /data/test somewhere. It could also be called vending.apk.

Can you post the file here please.
Thanks
Matt

Here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2TRUW4L630

1) Install zipsigner 2
2) Download New Market apk
3) Go to zipsigner 2 app and click Choose In/Out and look for com.android.vending1.apk, click it.
4) Select "Platform" under Key/mode
5) Sign the file
6) You will see the new name for this app appeared as "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk"
7) Through back button go to menu and open your es File Explorer or Astro and look for "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk" (make sure you are looking for the App which has word "signed" in it.)
8) Install the App and launch it

why so complicated?
In Orginal Archos Android:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /data/test/froyo/system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
In Uruk or CM7:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot

does anyone know how to get all the apps working in the market using cm7?
ive tried updating the fingerprint in build.prop and im still getting limited apps.
maybe im missing something??
let me know...
thanks

I don't know im afraid.

Stock browser won't download

Why won't my stock browser download, works ok on firefox browser on the sgs2

It's a file association thing. Try this...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hwkrbbt.downloadall&feature=search_result
It downloads literally anything!

- Download All Files from Market.
- Download Astro File Manager from Market and Enable the download option for Stock browser.
- Just use Opera
Regards.

Wow thanks that worked a treat
