Are you sure?
I'm sure I've downloaded before, yet launching native download app has drawn a blank.

thats defo the default download location, i just copied a load of gameloft .apk's from there to my usb hard drive
I think it depended on the Dolphin version used. I remember Dolphin and Dolphin HD tended to go to the "downloads" directory, but Dolphin Mini's download directory was inside the data folder of Dolphin Mini. It was a bit of a PITA when you flashed with CWM and you didn't remember where you had downloaded your ROM...
I'm talking about the native 'downloads' app in the app drawer.
It's showing blank.
I've put files in the 'download' folder & also created a folder called 'downloads' & put some files in but still no dice.
I need to know the filepath to the native 'downloads app' in the app drawer so I can set Dolphin to assign downloads to that file.
You with me here?
So, I downloaded a file with the stock browser and the file did indeed go to sdcard/download.
File shows in app drawer 'downloads' app.
Downloaded another file with Dolphin, downloads mapped to go to sdcard/download.
File not in app drawer 'downloads' app.
Looks like the native downloads app only works with files recognised as downloaded with the stock browser.

Flash & BBC IPlayer

I have downloaded the 2 zip files BBC IPlayer and Flash Player as suggested in the Forum, unzipped them, but cannot find and apk files to install, Am I missing something?
I am a novice with handling apps. PLEASE HELP!
What browser did you use? I downloaded using Firefox and then used the standard Andriod "download" icon to look for the downloaded file. It did not display. I went back into Firefox, then to downloads within firefox and found the file displayed there. I ran the file and then deleted it there in Firefox after I knew the installation went OK.

Hi All,
How do you get the chrome browser to prompt before downloading a file?
Also where are the advance settings? chrome://chrome/settings/ does not work. :crying:
Allthe browsers I have used just download to the "download" folder.

Hey guys ,

Try using another browser other than Chrome, chrome tends to not download stuff, or use the stock browser.
