Hey guys. I did a manual update the other day and now I am trying to install some APK files from my SD card. Well since Froyo I'm getting Forced Closed (FC) on any of my APK Installer apps.
I've already been to the market and downloaded a handful. Seems they all are doing the same thing?! Any one know of a good APK Installer or a working alternative method for installing APK files via app. I would rather not do it through the Dev Kit.
I've been using Linda File Manager and it's been fine.
try astro file manager.
Thanks. My other File Manager wouldn't handle APK files... so 2 birds with 1 stone. I downloaded both Linda and Astro. I'll test and figure which one i like the best.
[EDIT]
Nice Recommendation on Linda Explorer. Real nice.
+1 for linda. i'm liking it so far with kaosfroyo

cant get anny appinstallerst to work with my Nexus. I belive it is because of the new android 2.2, but do you know of one that works with the new version?
astro file manager just updated and it's compactible with 2.2 to install apps
thanks mate
lol I posted about this topic the other day.
Yea also try Linda Explorer. I tried both and found Linda Explorer to be more pleasing to use. I think its easier to navigate and I like the app installer feature better.
Astro Explorer organizes the folders/files weird.
Alright, so I have a rooted Vibrant on stock ROM. I used Root Manager to delete the bloatware on the phone. Worked great. However, when I used the delete data function, it took out all my apps including market.apk! So I can't get Rom Manager from Kousch to run a Naidroid restore, and I can't get the phone to sync up with Odin in download mode. Is there an update packet I can use to install the stock (with root) ROM with the install packages function in recovery mode? Maybe Eugene373's ROM? Thanks for any ideas.
I pulled the vending.apk out of Eugenes stock Vibrant rom. Copy and paste the .apk back to /system/app.
There's a Vibrant dump floating around the development section. Just get all the missing APK/ODEXs you want back out of it and copy them to /system/app.
Update: Turns out I got impatient and tried the Odin method to flash my ROM. That was a BIG mistake, put my phone into a brick cycle where I could not get phone into recovery or finish an Odin flash. I took it back to a local T-Mobile store and a friend hooked me up with a swap out. I have the new phone rooted and running ClockWork Mod. Will probably not try the Odin route again. Way too risky. Mods can close this thread or keep it up as a warning for novice android fans. Thanks for the dump and spare apk. This will be helpful in the future.
Great job

I found another vending.apk, but I guess they are different because I wasnt able to find some apps with that market on my SGS Vibrant. After I used his .apk, problem solved.
MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT VENDING.APK (MARKET).

You need super manager, root explorer or astro file manager ...along those lines to see the folders
Sent from my Bionix V powered Vibrant
Thanks but how do I copy the vending.apk to the system/app folder?

use root explorer (paid)
or
Astro File Manager (free)
put the .apk in sd card first though
then copy it over.
@guy who said ODIN is way to risky..
BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

Apk manager?
Just use a file manager, like astro, es file manager, ect to locate and install it.
thank you, i got it.

Glad it worked.
I recently flashed Liquid Smooth 3.1 and I'm liking it so far, the only drawback is that it removes the stock DX File Manager, and doesn't offer one of its own. I'm using Astro now which isn't bad, but I still kinda want the original back. Can anyone direct me to the .apk file for it, or take the .apk from their system apps so I can have a copy?
Thanks.
Don't know if it'll simply install for you...

Might need to try manually moving it...
Changing permissions.
And I'm not sure what blur framework has been removed in this rom...but I'd assume you'll need some of it.
So you may be out of luck.
Didn't work, but I appreciate the help and that looks like a useful source.
Thanks
Have you just tired any other file managers. Like root explorer?
You could just use rom manager to download a stock rom. Then unzip it and goto system/apps and get the file manager app. Then use root explorer and put it in the same file on your phone and reboot or adb push.

Yes
Probably stupid, but did you check in Titanium Backup? If you were rooted stock and did a batch backup of all your apps before flashing, then it will definitely be there.
I personally prefer ES File Explorer over the Stock File manager and any other 3rd-Party apps...
Hello, I have a problem with file manager. I deleted both file managers by accident. How can I bring them back now?
OnePlus File Manager and Google Files are available on Playstore. Whereas the other one you may get the APK and install it.
