Root explorer is best for this. But adb will work as well.

The easiest way is to use an app like astro file manager or root explorer. (Any decent file manager should have app installation functionality)
Find the file in one of these file managers, click on the apk file, use package manager to install the file and you are all set.

Slacker Radio 3.0

I cannot get or find an apk for slacker 3.0+ for the transformer. I am able to install an old version via amazon store, but nothing through the regular or online market...

You can use Astro file manager (free). Hit Menu>Tools>App Manager/Backup>Select your app to backup and hit backup button.
you can now fine the backup app in the folder call Backups/apps
you could also use Rootexplorer and navigate to data/app

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.

[Q] why can't my n7 display certain files on stick?

i did root it, install stickmount. tried with both r-explorer and es explorer. the usbstorage folder showed up alright, yet files of certain type simply won't display, so far they are .apk and .dwg. it's almost like they are filtered. i checked the displaying hidden files option was ticked.
someone please help!

come on... someone?
if there's anywhere this can be answered it is here I'm sure..

You have tried 2 root browsers already, I use ROM toolbox which is also a root browser with many other functions built in. Its the best app of its kind that I have used. If it doesn't find the files, then you can you can un install it.
Its a root browser for exploring root files.
