I'm running Hyperdroid V1.2 on my hd2 and I really miss the HTC_IME keyboard from my last rom. Thanks guys!
You need to find the apk file for it, just Google HTC_ime orGoogle mobilism you'll find it on there, then install it, go to keyboard settings activate it, go to new message press and hold in text box select input method and select HTC_ime

So how would I install the apk file? Is there a certain spot in the SD card I need to leave it? Thanks for your help!

Doesn't need to be in a special place on the card, but Its helps to keep all your apk's in a folder for easy finding. Once you've copied the file to your card, you can use any file manager from the market to locate and install the apk. Don't know how much you know but .apk files are to Android what .cab files are to Windows mobile and .ipa files are to Iphone OS. Cheers.
Sounds simple enough thanks guys appreciate it!

What if you want to install it to /system/app? If you simply use a file manager to open the apk file won't it install to /cache?
To install to system do I simply adb push it or adb install it?
You can grab the keyboard you want out of/system/app from your old build and then put it into the androidapps folder of your new build and then reboot. Should work, please let me know though

Help me to install games in my xperia x10 from PC as i cant access mobile internet.
Either use adb from the android SDK or copy the files to your sdcard and then use a file manager from the market that can install apk files!

use androidcommander, its really nice and simple gui.
Office suite only displays files it can open. It does not know what to do with a apk file. Download a file manager from the market

Appbrain.com is nice and simple, although if you are looking for paid apps for free you will have to find on your although, the sites do exist.

Hi, I want to the swype app on my phone and have the file on my desktop. What do I need to do to install it on my Hero?
Thanks
Here you go:
Open the market and download Astro file manager, root explorer, Linda, etc. - Some sort of file manager application for your phone
Attach your phone to the computer
Mount the SD Card
Drag and drop the swype.apk onto the sdcard - Wherever you want
Unmount the SD card
Open the file manager app you downloaded before
Navigate to the directory with the apk.
Select it by tapping on the file and install - you may have to enable 3rd party app installs, but you'll get a prompt for that if it's needed.
If you have any other questions just ask
But please ask in the right section. We have Q & A for this kind of stuff.

Where does the market save the .apk files I download?In which folder?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
On HTC desire, I find market apk's in /sdcard/download/. Usually after a failed install, so I am guessing those files get deleted after install. Should be the same on HD2.
They used to be there in /sdcard/downloads, none of the latests builds I've used leave the APKs there tho, I used to be able to search this folder and install any apps stuck at 100% download or failed, but they dont go there anymore.
So dunno where they gioing now.
I cannot find em anywhere...I use the mdjs desire hd version 4.4 and i cannot find those files...

id love to know where they are!!!
i hate redownloading them each time i start a new build from scratch. UGH!! i have to find all those downloads again and updates.
use root explorer. open it up and you should be at the first dir, their is a folder called "data", tap it, now tap on a folder called "app". this should be all your market apps. tap and hold whatever app you want, choose copy and navagate back to first page and scrole down to your "sdcard", tap it and paste your app where-ever you want to copy it to. this is where i found my apps. hope that helps yall.
Let me see...

The apps mite be in a different location on your Android build, but on my build BlueTopia HD Beta 2 by cmylxgo, this is where they are, and they are the install program. Copy one to where-ever you want it then tap on it while still in root explorer, it should ask if you want to install, view or cancel. I've found that there is one thing bad about doing this, Market don't see them as being installed and won't tell you if there is an update for that program if there is one.
Hmmmm....I use the jdms 1.6.2 and the mdeejays revolution hd 1.2 but still cannot locate them anywhere...

They are saved in /data/system/app or /data/app
Use root explorer, it should be under /data/app. If you use ES file explorer, you will see an empty /data directory.
I'Ve installed JDMS 1.6.2 and found them in the same place as i said, they have the little green Android guy next to them. Those are the whole app. Tap on one and youll see, it'll ask if you want to install view or cancle. You have to use root explorer!
Another option is to use Titanium Backup from Market. It is free. You can back up your installation to your SD card and install again later or for a different Android build.
data/app/
data/app-private/
system/app/
if you have apps 2 sd, i dont recall the name of the folder.
what file browser are you useing? some wont show protected files.
All "apk" user installed end up in /data/app. system/app is just all the Android installed apk's for that build. data/app-private is normally empty. If you are just looking to save all the apps you have downloaded and installed, then you need to backup the "app" folder in the data folder. But remember this will not be visible unless you have root access.
Good work guys...thank you so much.

a good app you might want to look at then would be appmonster or appmonster pro. the free version will backup apps to SD card, restore apps from SD card, quick uninstall where as the pro version does multiple version backups, gives access to extended options like APP2SD, cache, permissions, scan SD card for install-files, batch install (i believe) & even shares app-links via Facebook, Twitter, eMail. i have created a little stock pile of about 1200 or so apk's in the past year or 2.
I know there are a ton of applications that do the same but i personally like this program & suggest it to a lot of ppl who own a android phone.

I'd advise you to download "appmonster".
This makes a backup of all ur apps as .apk files! (folder:appmonster)
Works great!
Hi. Is my first time using Drive and after trying to download a ROM from "x" googledrive.com site . the only way to get that file is using google drive ( go figure ). The problem started when my only option was saying : open file using es file explorer . no saving file option anywhere. So I opened it...waited for the big file to download to drive then opens ( extract ) the ROM zip file with es file explorer but there is no option to save the zip. So now I opened my google drive app and I found the ROM zip file in "recent". Since I don't see the word Save or something like that. I used download and the file started downloading ( I thought it was like saving from drive to my sdcard ). So OK I waited again for the big file to download just in case I clicked also on Keep on my device. Now I did a search and I can't find it anywhere in my device storage or sdcard. I tries the move option and it only let me move within the folders inside drive or create a new one.
What happened to the easy way of click on download...save...done?.
How can I do something as easy and fast like that when I download something using google drive?

There should be a little i icon on the file. Press it then "save a copy". I think that's what the process is like now. It used to say download a copy or something similar.
