Hey....thats a lot for information.
What application are u trying to install. from where are u downloading?
If it is a Non-Market app, you need to have the unknown sources button checked in apps settings

i downloaded some apps from getandroidstuf.com...and none of the app seems can be installed to the phone..i already checked the unknown sources button..but seems the same error..
In the settings go to applications/programs and check the unknown sources checkbox. When installing from some other place then marketplace this should be checked.
Hey giggsy_Lel,
Try downloading your files to the computer
connect the phone in HTC Sync mode.
Now try to run the apk files
Through sync it will install it in the phone...
check whether this works.
also are u getting this error for applications or just the ones downloaded from getandroidstuf?? high chances for the package to be corrupted.
PM me the file name, will download in my phone to check if that is working good on ma end
cheers

HEllo,
I just unlocked my G1 and Made it work lebanese network
now im getting troubles..
The first problem is that I have no wireless internet at my home so I cant download from the market ...well thats not an issue I can look from this forum and others for applications ..
The problem is that I need the "Apps Installer application"
is there any way I can t it from the internet put it throught the cable and install it on my computer ???
cos without it I cant get any application or theme or game or anything installed ......and without those ..the G1 sucks ...
HELPPP
PLEASe
HELPP
Best
you will not find application outside Market. You should buy a wifi router and stop spamming.
Thats not entirely true... They have a backup of several APKs at android-dls. You need to enable Non-Market installation though (Settings -> Applications-> First Checkbox). Hope this helps!
P.S. They're only free apps obviously

I already did enable the non-market..
I will try to go to that forum now to download this app installer to be able to install files with .apk ..
Right ?
I cant find the app. installer anywhere on the internet ..
Anyone knows where it may be located ?
You can just use Astro or Linda File Manager to browse your SD card for the .apk file.
Or, you can always just browse the website and download the .apk files from your phone and open them in the download manager.
Hi
I have trouble emailing .apk files to myself and install them on the phone. I use cyanogens stable (currently 4.04) and when I dowload the mail and click the "previev" button (there is no "download") I get the message: Error parsing the package.
Any solution known? (I have enabled the "install non marketplace" option)
have u got the 'Appsinstaller' from the market
Yes I do, but I guess the app is not even stored on my sdcard somewhere as during the download process it crashes somewhere...
You have to log into gmail from the browser and not the app, then you will be able to download it.
use apkatcher ..

or tAttachApkInstaller - they're basically the same thing...
Downgraded & rooted couple of days ago, removed some bloat, all ok.
Uninstalled a little more bloat today... but...
1. Can't remember what I uninstalled exactly.
2. Market launches ok, but whenever I click on an item within the market i get an instant force close every time.
Ideas? Help?
Thanks all.
Edit: I remember uninstalling download manager. Could that be it?
It's not here though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036249, anyone have the apk?
Can you provide a logcat of the issue?
Not currently as I don't have a logcat app installed.
However, I'm sure it's related to the download manager I uninstalled using root Uninstaller.
Market is force closing on download links & anything I attempt to download using the browser throws up an empty zip folder.
I could really use the download manager apk to avoid having to reflash.
Thanks for any help.
Install a logcat app, run the error and paste the output here. It will help by debugging the issue.
I'm not too sure it has to do with the "download manager" app, since that is mainly related to the web browser. Market downloads follow their own route, as they are stored in the cache partition while they're being installed.
Ok, I'll get transfer a logcat app to my phone when i get back to my pc later.
Just type in "adb logcat" into adb do you want a copy of my download provider dazza??

Have you tried uninstalling the market updates? and trying again?
Thanks for the help lads but i can't do much 'till I get home later.
My market is stock since updating to 2.3.3

Thanks for that, just reinstalled & I'm now able to access market links without fc.
However, downloads are not working properly.
No fc but the download icon only briefly flashes up in taskbar but doesn't download.
I'm guessing that this is because I have setinstalllocation2.
Moved to phone via manage apps but still no joy.
When i get home I'll go back to setinstalllocation0 & reinstall so that they go to sys & I'll bet a penny to a pound that problem will be solved!
Ok, so, didn't work.
MArket is now not force closing but, as before any downloads started just result in a very brief flash of the download taskbar arrow then nothing.
Uninstalled updates to market, no luck, upgraded to new version market, no luck, however, i do now get an error downloading file notification.
Please delete post
Erm... Use pastebin.com, with Java notation. It's WAY more readable. For example: http://pastebin.com/02jK09Yr
Can't paste to it from browser so, once again, will have to later.
Did manage to install alogcat from an apk and pulled this just now.
Ok, so here's a couple of logs i took just now & submitted to pastebin.
Decided to flash.
MODS, PLEASE DELETE THREAD.

Yeah, it would work fine. I did it for UberMusic Beta. Just gotta' go to Settings, Applications then allow access for apps that aren't from the market. Same goes for any Android phones you might have.
it worked
You are correct ! There is the option in setting to allow unknown apps . Thanks and BTW , I LOVE MY THRIVE !!!!! AMAZING AND IT IS LIGHT TO HLD AS WELL
unable to install 3rd party apps
When I click on an apk that's on my SD card I get an error that say "there is no associated application for this file type" any clue what happened here???
non-market app install problems?!?
I'm confused. I selected the "allow non-market" toggle in my settings. Nothing special needed. Am I missing something?

Well you already did it then. Now you can install Android apps from places like here, XDA, or other places that's not Android Market place. It still has to be an android app, an APK. I think some people confusing that it means you can download and install any OS app. Lmao that's not the case. If you they to install something not meant for android, it'll throw up an error or whatever.
*Not sure if in proper section, move if need be*
Noob here so try to dumb things down for me!
Ok, so I followed this tut HERE.
I was able to debug it to my android for testing and it worked. So I exported it as .apk and uploaded it to 4shared.com.
Now my problem is, after downloading to my phone, I went to [Install Package] and it said "Application not installed"
What would be the problem and how would I go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance

How are you trying to install the app:
connect your device using USB cable to the comp. and run
Code:
adb install <path_to_apk>
on a terminal
Make sure that the app is not already installed as there could be certificate conflicts it a debug version is installed already. If some version is already installed, just uninstall it and try.
Also try enabling Settings > Security > Unknown sources (turn it off after you are done if you are not sure)

The app not installed errors show up when you try to install an app not ment for your device
Genral cases are
It requires hardware not present in your device
It is trying to replace a system app like systemui
etc..........

Have you tried to zipalign your apk? It may help
If you have another version of the app remove it and install this
