Downloading .zip files

So it's really annoying that I can't download .zip files from my N1. Am I missing some method to overcome this?

Mate, do us a favour and remove that screenshot of your 'About' screen. It appears in every post you make.
Unfortunately most readers will actually read the details in the photo expecting that it is relevant to the thread. That's ok the first time but when you make 5 or 6 posts a day, it becomes a bit annoying for the reader!

On-Topic: Install astro.....

Second Astro File Manager!

Opera Mini will let you download regardless

Lol, thanks guys. And sig is fixed. Got tired of updating every time I ran a new version of something or switched kernels. Appreciate the input.

Plz develop an app for me

Hey i want an app which drains the battery yes drains the battery at a rate 20 times faster. I mean a full charge gives only 2hrs battery on a full charge also the app should run in background and continue to run without being detected.

So you want to install it on your.friends phone and screw him?
Or do you just want to know how long it takes to recharge afterwards?

In that case it doesn't need to be in the background / undetectable...
It almost sounds like you are requesting to build a virus for the phone...

Haha, if this were reddit, I'd be posting a simple sh script here.
Impossible it is not. The principle would be full cpu load, prevent the phone and screen from sleep, and constant write and read from sd card. Except preventing screen from sleep all can be done with a line or two in sh. And that also would also be achievable with a proper app.
Cheers

I think he needed it for aprils fools. Anyways, an alternative would be to make the phone think its batteries are getting drained quickly even though everything is normal.

google play update

Yeah, we follow the news too.
This has nothing to do with the S3, by the way.

It only took me about 45mins to delete all the crap that has accumulated over the last 3 year, but thanks Google what's 3 years ehhh...... :beer:

The issue of not remembering your place in the list was infuriating. Try looking for cm10 themes when it keeps going back to the start of the list! This is the single most important fix.

You could have multi selected them all at once and then delete.

Why on jesusalabuddha's earth did it take google so song to get these new....hmmmmm.....features? And to boot....I had to sideload it manually. But so far I tested....and it rocks imo.
I had trouble installing it into /data/apps/.
I also renamed the old one first before bringing in this new one.
It wouldn't let me click the INSTALL button. (the 2nd one) So I rebooted and voila, it was there installed.
I still get the NOT CONNECTED bug at least 1 out of every 3 times I try to navigate within Google Play. RETRY button always helps.

Got it working - had to rename it because I'm running inverted gapps

I installed it a few days ago and being able to delete past "trial" apps is well worth the effort of side loading it!

Of course I know ... but this zip is for those who want GoogleCamera in the system and includes the framework and lib files ... is useful for those who use core gapps that do not include the new GoogleCamera..

ahh, i see. well, nice
but, i do have some feedback. my new camera was in the system, but i moved it out as a user app last week. it drained battery a lot hevier than before(old cam), and the camera daemon used more battery as well. i tried figuring out how to make it use less, but couldnt figure it out. i moved it out of the system to a user app last week, and now it uses much less battery

strange, I use the camera in system with all my rom without any problems, I have no problems of excessive consumption ... well everything works very well

This is useful for people that don't wish to rely on Google services like the play store. I myself am paranoid on a much smaller scale, but people who are into security and experience paranoia have much different setups than a typical Android user.

Facebook slow on nexus 7

Hey guys!
I picked up a 2012 nexus 7 for pretty cheap and I really love this tab. Does everything I would want it to do. However, one thing that's kind of annoying is the Facebook app is super slow... The app itself is responsive but the data loads as if I have a dial up connection. I ran a speed test from it and get 12+ meg...I also have an iPhone and iPad both connected to the same wireless ap and don't have any issues... All other apps seem to be fine as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!!

Here's the ONLY good thing FB ever did.
It also illustrates who uses it.

That's because the official Facebook app is utter sh*t, it takes a load of time on my tablet as well

WOW . I am impressed Due to the fact i thought face crap was Totally useless. Facebook app messenger or webpage is NOT allowed on my laptop my phone my nexus 7 or my Note 10. I might even go as far as putting a NO Facebook sign at the end of my driveway. Requiring anyone who comes to visit me To uninstall it .
Yea I really feel this way about face &($%

in our defense it wasnt even put in the right forum. and even if it was he should be asking facebook not a forum of android developers.

Explain it the..because i want to know :v as i understand it will limit the background apps to 5 wich means more ram..but apps will load slower

Hidden apps is limited to 5 from default 10 or 15 = less services for device to handle.. and use_16bpp_alpha=1 forces your device to use 16 bits instead of 32 bits. Try it. Don't like it? Just delete it. Simple.

just thanx gr8 live nexus
