Manual Apk installs on Elocity A7

How can I manually install Apk files from my Sd card? Is there a program I can get that does that?
Thanks
I have been able to just put the apk file on the sdcard /root directory and use the OI File Manager to load it. Select OI File Manager >> sdcard-disk0 >> (your apk file)
Thanks mercdoc.
I was hoping there was something in my Elocity that did that. I'm so new to this device I would not know it if I seen it.
For me it was easier to put number of "apk" apps on the USB stick and install them from there using file manager...it is basically the same principal with memory stick being easier to plug in and out..You can also put say a magazine in PDF format on the stick and read it with Elocity pdf reader ( there are several readers around) from there without moving it to device.

Hi 855Elm
What is the max size of memory stick that Elocity can use?
I believe the limit was 64GB, but I know it is at least 32GB.

From the manual....
You can connect USB flash drives to your Tablet to access external files.
The tablet supports drives up to 64GB in size. Please note that some
older USB 1.1 devices may have compatibility issues.
and I believe it has to be formatted as FAt32 not NTFS...at least it did not work for me ...
Regards
Another suggestion is to use the app dropbox. This way you don't have to bother with the sdcard.

writing files to android tv box usb hdd

Have a bit of a strange issue in writing files to my external hdd.
I have an Allwinner A20 (aka Chinese media android box) connected to my TV through an HDMI cable. I have an external HDD connected to it though USB which contains a bunch of media files. The media box is connected to my router though a LAN cable.
I can access the USB HDD from other computers on the network through a FTP Server I've got setup on the media box but can't seem to figure out permissions to write to it. I can write to the internal drive on the media box, just not the external one.
Using ES File Explorer, the drive is mounted to have both read and write access. I can create and delete files from ES File Explorer. I found this thread but I can already do what others are trying to do. The "rw" permissions already exist.
I'm using FTP Server Ultimate by Ice Cold Apps (link).
Anyone ever seen this before? I've attached my software version and firmware screen shot if that helps.

Note 3 working as a NAS and media streaming device

Hi folks.
I've connected an external hard disk seagate 1TB (stdr1000101) using an OTG cable and I can read it just fine running Paragon NTFS/HFS+.
1. How can I share that hard disk over wi-fi?
I want to use note 3 as a streaming device while it is being charged wirelessly.
I intend to serve media to my shield tablet and a smart tv using note 3 instead a pc or router with usb port.
2. How can I write files on that hard disk in NTFS from android 4.2.2 FAT?
I just can't write anything on it from android. root explorer and es explorer plots 'permission denied' no matter how I set the permissions.
Paragon is running on android's enforced mode. I could not set to permissive mode using it or using wanam. I really don't know if that matters to the write permissions.
I'll appreciate any directions to it.
Thanks.

Can no longer mount USB Hard Drive after Marshmallow 3.0 update?

I can no longer mount USB Hard Drive after Marshmallow 3.0 update? My hard drive is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-External-STDR2000103/dp/B00FRHTTJE/
And it worked fine before the update?
I've even tried installing StickMount to mount the USB HDD and that didn't work either?
When I plug the HDD into the Shield, ES File Explorer pops up and it shows the drive but when I click it, it says: "failed to open the file"
The USB HDD doesn't even want to show in the SETTINGS > STORAGE section either.
It's formatted in exFat.
Update: I've reformatted the drive to NTFS. Now, the drive will mount but it's "unwritable"?
Any ideas?

Looks like a similar issue, not being able to WRITE to an NTFS formatted drive, seems to be a stock issue, not related
to custom firmware, theres "talk" that nvidia is aware of the problem and "talk" that it'll be fixed "soon"........we'll see
Assuming this is the same issue

That's sounds like it! Yea, this is my experience:
exFAT: Can't mount / read / write
NTFS: Can mount / can read / cannot write
FAT32: Can mount / can read / can write
Can someone else please test and confirm these findings?

Hard drive shown as corrupt

Guys I am having a problem with my HP 1 TB hard drive. When I plug it in my phone using otg there is a notification saying that "your hp hard drive is corrupt, tap to fix " which takes me to a format manu.
Of all the file managers available , only es file explorer is able to read the contents but writing operations are not allowed.
The otg cable is fine because I can use all my USB drives without any problems
The HDD itself is not corrupt as I can read/write on it using my PC/laptop
Note: when I first bought the HDD it was working normally on my phone ( it was blank back then) but then I had to format it to FAT32 for it to work with my PlayStation 3, after then I again formatted it to NTFS and transferred around 200 GB of movie and series in it and here I am.
Any help is appreciated
Android does not support NTFS natively.

Like I said when I first bought it was working fine ( I didn't check if it was NTFS but it must be because hdd's normally come as NTFS )
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
I had the same issue w/SanDisk 128 dual USB. Download 2Tware's Fat32Format (CNET has it) or a similar, third-party app and format the drive in FAT32. Hopefully, that'll fix your issue as it did mine.
