Get apk files from the net using your computer and transfer them to your phone by usb then.

i put apk files to my sd.. how do i install it then?

For example i put X .apk in a folder from SDCard thru Usb cable
With file manager i enter in the folder and install it, i delete the X.apk
Thru cable i put Y.apk in the same folder, and after unplugging the cable, when i enter with the Astro or OI FileManager, i see the the X.apk... and not Y.apk
When exploring it again with usb cable, there is y.apk like is need to be, but when i enter there with astro or Oi, there is the old X.apk and not the Y.apk...
Isn't he refreshing the filelist from the sdcard ? What should i do ?
learn to use adb to push and pull files... windows sux.
Can you be a bit more detailed ? how to push and pull files in the phone with adb.
Give me an example.
You can try to unmount SD card and mount it again in phone options, or try to use android commander to copy/push files from your computer to phone. I hope that this will help you
With pulling out the SDcard does not helps, ive tried.
But how to explore then the PC with the android ?
Mounting and unmounting SD cards is the thing that helped me with this situations maybe try other Android build. Here you have weeb site of the program I've mention before androidcommander.com/ You need to install Android SDK to make it work properly. Try to google some toutorial how to instal the Android SDK

How to install apk from pc to sd card directly?I can't access android market.
You can use ASTRO file manager, and for installing that app you can use a more difficult way with ADB. But you've only to do that one time.
Latest flashtool has an option of automatic apk installation, it's enough to put an apk file in a correct folder and plug the phone with USB debuggin enabled

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
What is ES file explorer.& where can I get it?

Google? First hit: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-estrongs-android-pop-znE.aspx
I think it is not pre-installerd, only Astro file manager.
I was in another thread trying to figure out how to install xRecovery and I'm starting to think that the problem is that my phone isn't recognizing the apks as apks. Has anyone else had this problem? It only recognizes the xRecovery file as a .zip and so I can't use the installer to install it.
Why you don't just use flashtool to root and install xRecovery? That's much easier.
bro why dont you try renaming the .zip to .apk it works!try it!

I tried that already thanks, tho...
I was hoping to not have to mess around with something else but I guess I will give flashtool a shot
you can always use Manual method,
just extract and copy these three files (busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) from xrecovery.zip or xrecovery.apk to your Phone/system/bin directory, using root explorer (with r,w, rights)

You had to change to name of the .zip to .apk with a file manager on your phone. Maybe you had a setting turned on on your pc that prevents from displaying file extension.

i tried that and that didn't work. now i'm starting to think something is up with how my computer handles these .zip files though...now i'm trying to download install the .ftf file from this thread and when i put that file directly into the firmware folder in flashtool it doesn't recognize it as a .ftf file (and its listed as a .zip file when i download it)...this is frustrating the bajeezus out of me

ya know what, i'm not even sure right now since i've done so much ish to this dang phone in the past day lol i did figure out that i had to change the settings in windows to not hide the extensions of known file types so that i could change the .zip to .apk. Since I had already installed xRecovery I don't know if that would have solved the problem but I'm assuming it would have. Thanks for your help everyone!

oh you mean you want to download the filename.apk and install it yourself right?
by using titanium backup,it works very much like.You can install every application that you backup one by one same as you do with the apk files but the downside is you still dont have the .apk files.
you woudl have to save the apk files to your pc fromthe phone, you cannot download from the market directly to your pc
