Download Crutch

I loaded up the eclair rom onto my G1, which is working fine but for some reason, I cannot find "Download Crutch" lite or full in Market. Anyone have the apk of Crutch lite that can post a link or the file?

I couldn't find it either, I'm always downloading stuff to my phone. The Opera browser can download also.

finally!
i was lookin forever to find download crutch and finally found on another xda forum from http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1537845 that linda file manager has a plug in to do exactly what download crutch uses.
it works exceptionally well, as it is also packaged as a file manager

I've always used Linda File manager but was never successful in getting unsupported file types to download unless I had Download Crutch installed.

Anyone know of an app that allows for any type of download from the gmail app? Most attachments I get just have a "Preview" button, even those that the phone can't open.

link to Download Crutch Lite http://www.mediafire.com/?wzmmqmjnm21

Astro file manager has the option to do so

Last night I Googled "download crutch" and found five links to the file sharing sites that had it, then I remembered I had it tucked away on my computer the whole time haha.

File Download

How do i get it to download all file types, i tried downloading a zip file and it came up with this file is not supported , i have it rooted and have a file manager, it may be simple but i am new to android

do you mean download through a browser?
if you long press the link doesn't it give you an option to save it ?
zip support is built in I think, certainly astro handles them easily.
personally I tend to use xscope-gl (1.6 version) to grab files now as it supports pretty much anything.

Download a program called androzip its safe and it works awesome.

Use another browser as I found the default Android browser wouldnt let me download zip,rar or apk files. Dolphin is a tweaked android browser, which works great. I think you can download an HD version...which might suit the 5" screen better. Check it out before you buy

I wasnt as descriptive I should have been. If you download androzip it makes zip recongizable for download and it will open them as well. Also if you need to send any file over gmail you go through androzip. Open it go to the file tap on it and choose send, no zipping required.

Thanks for all the replys guys downloaded android zip and another browser and all is well thanks

Hello chaps, what browser would you guys recommend for android?

If you install Astro file manager that has an option to allow any file to download in the default browser... its worth having anyway as its a great file manager...

Unable to install downloaded .apk

I've tried this a bunch of different ways and I'm unable to install any .apk that I download. I haven't tried downloading the .apk on my computer first though. So here's what I've tried;
Standard web browser - can't download says file not supported
Dolphin HD - able to download, get parse error installing from dolphin. No install button for APK in Astro File Manager
Xscope - able to download, parse error on install. Install button for APK in Astro File Manager but does not install
I do have the install unknown sources option turned on in application settings.
What am I missing here? I am rooted but nothing has been done since rooting.

Any reason you are not grabbing them from the market?
Why do you not have the stock browser?
Regarding the stock browser, you don't install it, you just drop it in system/app I believe.

1. Because it's not on the market :/
2. Standard web browser = stock browser
3. What?

Download the Astro Manager from the market. Then go to settings and enable browser download.

It could be an error with the apk itself. I get those errors sometimes where certain apks don't download correctly. Try another apk and see what happens.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

s15274n said:
Really?
Dolphin and xscope are in the market. I'm asking why are you not downloading them from the market?
I then asked, why do you not have the stock browser already? You said you just rooted and did nothing else... so... did you delete it or something?

You're misunderstanding him. He's trying to download a file and he's saying what happens when he tries to download this file on all these different browsers. He already has the browsers installed.

^ LOL, son of a bitc*... yeah, my bad OP... I was trying to figure out WTH you were doing.
Yes, I would recommend what another person said and get Astro and turn on the browser download option.
The error messages are for not a complete download (at least thats what I normally get in those situations).

I use apps installer from the market to install non market apps. Try it out

Apparently I didn't write my original post thoroughly enough. I have tried Astro already.

Try ES File Explorer by EStrongs.

Apk files won't download.. Help!

I have downloaded apps from 4shared and worked perfect.
But now when I try to download any apk file it says the file is not supported. And if I force the download it downloads its as .bin
And whatever I do I can't open it.....
How can I fix this.....?
Edit:
After I downloaded an app I manually changed it from .bin to .apk
Do I have to do this everytime?? Why is that? Help please

Please post all questions in Q&A section.

Thanks so much. I had previously installed Astro and had been downloading apk's but then did a factory reset, and reinstalled everything, and couldn't figure out why my apk's weren't installing. such a simple thing caused hours of frustration.

Wrong forum. This is more a question. But you need to install a filebrowser capable of reading zip files to download them. ES File Explorer or I/O File Explorer would do the trick. It does on mine.

Download astro file manager, free in market, and then go to preferences>> enable browser downloader. Now you can download anything

Or use Opera Mobile for your browser
