How to install Programs on the xperia

Hey, got me a xperia x10i today.
Iv been searching now for many houers on how to install programs on the phone but cant find it..... I want to install .apk files how do i get them into my phone etc?

Use an app called app installer

Store the .apk files onto your SD Card. Make sure to have this checked:
Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources
Use a file explorer program such as Astro (Find it in the market) and then navigate to the .apk file on your sdcard. Press on the file and it should start the installation process.

thanks m8's

get the deodexed apps of ur original firmware
search for the allshare apk file
root ur phone
get root explorer or any other root enabled file explorer
copy the .apk file to system/app and reboot ur phone

Kyrillos v4 final:
I tried to install the dlna.apk with Easy Installer (message: not installed). Then I tried to move the apk with File Expert directly into the system/app folder where all other apk where. It did tell me that it is handling this copy but nothing appeared in this folder...
Tried it again with File Manager but he wouldn't let me Paste the file into the folder...
What next? Any ideas?
Thanks

did u enable R\W mode???

good question. I just realized that the folder is still on read-only.
I tried to use terminal emulator and type "chmod 755 ./system/" to change the rights but I got "unable to chmod system. read-only file system"...
So what did I miss?

use the built in switcher in root explorer or other file managers( e-strongs or astro) i know both have r\w toggle
or goto data\app and paste it there
u need to manually change permissions for each folder

So with root explorer I just go to the folder and change the rights into r/w?
If I understood correctly I need to change the rights first in system then in app, right?

Root Explorer rocks
I managed to change the rights (with "Mount R/W") andthis changed the rights also for the subfolders. Then I pasted the dlna.apk file into the app folder. Then I changed the rights back to r/o.
After reboot it took some time to get everything up again, and all my apps where again unsorted on the different screens.
The file is still in the folder but no allshare application in my programs....
So I copied the file into the data/app folder...
Reboot (didn't take a long time) still no app there...
What now?

Maybe someone knows another app from the market which can do the same thing, also for Samsung and other brands?
Thanks

did u get the deodexed apps from JPM rom or any other
& what do u allshare for???

I downloaded the dlna.apk from the internet and tried to install it with easy installer. I'm not sure whether it is from JPM How can I find out?
I want to use allshare with a Samsung TV.
Having flashed Kyrillos ROM.
Was that the question?

[Q] Installing App without market

Hello folks,
I've got an .apk file on my sd card. To install that app, i need to unmount my SD-Card. Therefor i cannot install my app - which is located on the sd card - anymore. I want to do it without the market. I already tried to move the file with the astro-manager to the mnt folder (which you can still see even you unmounted your sd card). But i couldn't copy the file with astro to this folder.
Any suggestions?

Try AppInstallerV2

You may need to move files .apk to a PC via Wi-Fi.
I do this.
Move. Apk file to pc.
Run ES File Explorer on MINI connection WiFi to PC part to .apk.
Click to .apk.
ES File Explorer to install the files. Apk by way of it to Phone.

Or do it using the adb install command.
Have a look here for ADB Infos.

Upload apk to DropBox, copy link, paste in Browser and install

*ouch* Why didnt i have this idea?
Thanks codiak that worked
i used this command ( just for other users which have the same problem as me )
adb install path/on/windows/myfile.apk

I think it is not pre-installerd, only Astro file manager.

Camera.apk

I cant launch my camera anymore. The .apk is still there and not modified but when i try to launch the camera from launcher pro it doesnt load. There is no icon for it on the homescreen and ive not removed it. launching the camera from other apps doesnt work either.
I tried to install the modified camera hack that comes with darkys rom but that wasnt successful so i downloaded busybox and tried again, even though busybox seems to have already been installed.
Any ideas why my camera doesnt work or does anybody have the original .apk?

If you download the camera hack for either GB or Froyo(which ever one your on), and get an app that can R/W into the system of your phone you can just copy it into system/app/. You can use File Expert for this, just download go into it's settings>File Explorer settings and enable root explorer. Then copy the camera apk from your sd and navigate to the system>app folder and mount as r/w, then paste the apk. If you want the original apk that came with Darky's rom use a program like Winrar to copy the Camera .apk from it. Hope this helps
