Nook rooted, how to install apps without market? - Nook Touch General

Hello,
I just rooted my nook successfully with touch nooter.
My question now is:
How do i install apks without market? There isn't a data explorer installed (like es explorer).
Is there a way to install es file explorer for me?

Look up how to use adb to install apps. Get an apk for an explorer app, push it (or use dropbox), and go from there

Default App install folder?

Hi
I'm looking for the default app installation folder. I'm trying to edit the swype dictionary with a new language and I need to edit the name of 2 files. I cant find the app installation folder via OI file manager or ASTRO.
Any Ideas?
I'm not rooted....
/data/app
access via adb or root explorer (root explorer needs root access)

And also the weatherwidget

Download the file then place it in system/app with Root Explorer (or whatever file explorer program you use)
So I'm taking it that you can't just install these as with other sideloaded apps?
hurmm i manage to copy it to system/app but then i cant install it it say application not installed =/ i set my root explorer to R/W already and i changed the permission of the apps.

Are you using the google market? Allot of apps don't show in the Amazon market. If it isn't in the google market you could always sideload it.

<Root Explorer apparently cannot be side-loaded due to protected app. It appears that you need to install directly from the marketplace or another android application store.> - edit... others said this was incorrect and they were able to sideload Root Explorer. Not sure why we had issues. I was assisting a friend get his Market working and found that Root Explorer was no longer listed on Amazon App Store. We did find it on AppBrain, but the AppBrain app wouldn't install on the KF.
In the end we found that ES File Explorer had a 'unprotect system folder' option that allowed the Market APK to be moved into System/App. His market is now working great. Hope this helps. You should be able to fnd ES File Explorer on XDADev or on the Amazon App Store (free app).
I finally got it uploaded and now i save the apl files to sd card and when i go in to move them to system > app it sas that "you can not paste becasue the file system is read only and when i try to change the permissions it give a weird error
please help
i have ed but i cant find unprotected folder ou spoke of. please tell me if i did this wrong but i took the apk's and just put them right into the sd card....is that where the are supposed to go before the sys>app folder?
how about installing it via adb? adb install <path to apk>
help please!!
when i try to install the andriod market it says' "the application market (process com.andriod.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.........please advise, also i have the vending.apk in the sys/app and when i try to change the permissions it says that vending.apk permissions can not be changed because the file system is read only
thank you
every time i try to do this when i try to mount it with...C:\Users\Guest1\Desktop\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools.... it says "remount failedperation not premitted

You must not have root access. You should be able to change the file system to r/w if you have given superuser permission. Are you sure you have root access? What program are you using? (Super manager, root explorer, es explorer, etc.) Did you try using adb to change the permissions?

You could use ES File Explorer from the amazon appstore. Just enable root mode.

Just for reference, root explorer side loaded for me perfectly fine.
And you cant write to those protected folders without having root enabled.

My buddy kept getting an error that the app was unauthorized when trying to side-load. Tried to move it from sdcard/downloads to data/app and reboot and received the same error. Good to know Root Explorer can be side-loaded without having to install from the market directly if necessary. He was able to sideload all the other vvpGoogle apps and etc fine.
For anyone who can't download Root Explorer from the Amazon app store (I couldn't as I'm in Hong Kong) google root explorer apk and there are a couple of links with the apk for direct install - I think I registered for Mobiles24.com to get that and it worked fine for me.
However, I could only rarely change permissions with Root Explorer so I also searched for "Super manager android apk" which was better and easier to change permissions with. I also just started looking for Filestube/Megaupload links and then transferring by USB before installing with RE or SM
Still haven't got Android Market working - it loads and just says, "waiting for download to start"
I wonder if it's because it's my first Android and I don't have any devices listed?

I had the same problem. From what I can tell its the vending.apk
It would install and load fine, but no downloads would ever actually kick off.
Use the market apk thats in that gapps zip with the rest of the apps.
From what I can tell that's the newer market anyways and flashier than the vending.apk one.
That gapps one worked first try for me.
root explorer error
Hi all
New to this, total rookie, so please be patient
I live in Canada, got fire so trying to get droid market place. As far as I can tell I rooted it correctly using superoneclick. I cant access amazon market.place from Canada so I got root explorer from mobiles24.com and installed it on my kindle (I assume this what is meant by side install)
So now when I go to run it, iget the following error.
The application root explorer (Process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Thoughts on what is causing this?
There root guide for Linux/Mac includes the APK and automatically installs it. You could follow the steps the script uses to install, or just sideload it.
I side load'ed mine. No problem

This, although it's not as obvious to switch to Read/Write as root explorer. Menu->Setings->Scroll to the Bottom->Check Root Explorer->Yes on Superuser Prompt->Check Mount File System
What I did though was, I pulled the APK for Root Explorer from my data/app folder on my G2, then put that onto the Fire.
Then using ES File Explorer I installed Root Explorer.

Need root explorer

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue. I can't seem to get root explorer on my kindle. I have it purchased on the android Market and the amazon market. And my kindle is already rooted. I've been searching but I can't seem to find the answer. What am I missing?
Back up the Root Explorer APK with Astro on your phone. Grab it and put it on your KF and install it from your sdcard with a working file browser.
Root explorer
MOD EDIT: NO WAREZ
Thanks for the replies

4shared.com works for me... just type root explorer
There was a free older version also on 1MobileMarket.
"Hello World"

[Q] What file manager indicated for the Nexus 4?

Currently I'm using as Astro file manager, but did not like it.
Is to install the file manager in CM Nexus 4 with Android 4.3 OTA?
Thanks.
I use es file explorer, it's got everything I can think of, I even stream films via it.
Smb,ftp,cloud,LAN ect ect
Also you can directly throw apk's, apps or any file to other es users on the same network.
Es explorer is the way to go. And its a shame that android don't have a file explorer of its own

Ok thanks for the tips, but does anyone know of a link where I can get the apk manager of CM? I really like it.

i use solid explorer the full version ,the best for me
1º ES Explorer
2º ZArchiver
ES File Explorer. As a side note, if your phone is rooted, then you need to enable "Root Explorer" in the settings of ES Explorer to get access and write permission to the entire file system.
I personally like Antek.

Zarchiver is awesome, but I need root and ability to backup APK, it's the only reason I'm still using ES File Explorer.
