[Q] Installation of applications from PC to Xperia X10

Help me to install games in my xperia x10 from PC as i cant access mobile internet.

Either use adb from the android SDK or copy the files to your sdcard and then use a file manager from the market that can install apk files!

I copied in my phones others folder and went to office suite to check the copied file . apk. but unable to c any copied files whsat may be the reason.
hope u can give me a solution.

use androidcommander, its really nice and simple gui.

Office suite only displays files it can open. It does not know what to do with a apk file. Download a file manager from the market

I use Astro File Manager to install application downloaded to the PC...

Where can I download application on the internet?
Is there a nice site of apps?

Get astro or some other appInstaller from the market. Put the .apk file on ur sd card then install with the appinstaller.

1. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable.
2. Use windows explorer to copy the file to your phone's SDcard.
3. Download Astro or Estrongs file browser from the android market.
4. Open Astro/Estrongs and find the file that you want to install.
5. Click on the file to install.

pic files ?

hi is there a way to save a pic and not have it viewed in gallery? i want to keep some pics private
thanks in advance

put all your pictures in a special folder and drop a ".nomedia" file on there. It will stop android from scanning that folder for media. For example, you could have your "private" pictres in a folder called "books", or something else that's boring, add a .nomedia file, and add your pictures. You won't see them with gallery, but you will with a file explorer.

Just put a .foldername
Ex
.hiddenpix
Works the same way as what is post above

how do you make a new folder i cant figure it out

ur astro file manger.
*Make a new folder. (open astro, nav to were you want the folder,hit the
menu key then new)
*Name this folder what ever you want but put a . (dot) in front of the folder name
*Now put your photos in that .folder and now they will be hidden from the gallery
sdcard
photos
.hidden photos
camera pix
etc

thanks for all the help i got it

Say when you get a pic msg.. can u specify what folder the pic to go to? Or do I have to use astro to move it from the download folder?

u had to put the new watchfaces to a folder that is existed and not to create a new one.

Thanks i have sorted it now
But iam looking for Rolex ClockSkin s if anybody has any there are 2 on here posted by laul but they do not work onny watch any help would be great Cheer's.

Those work perfect as we have told you... you are doing something wrong...
I dont understand why you dont follow the 3 easy steps that are explained in the Clocksking Threat.
1. Download de clockskin ( should be .ZIP or .RAR)
2. Extrat it to your computer ( you will get a new folder with stuff inside)
3. Make a folder in the root of your watch called ClockSkin (Be careful with Capital Letters, Must be as I have wroten here) (Sdcard/ClockSkin)
4. Drop the folder you have gotten from the .ZIP to this new folder (the folder not the files)
And that is....
As easy as copy/paste

Thank u all...
Thank u all very much for you help finally got it sorted will there be new watch faces getting made and are there anymore easy upgrades i could do to this watch and again thank u all on this forum for being so helpful really do appreciate it.

how to install clockskin on smart watch android 8.1

hello guys how to install clockskin on smart watch android 8.1 i try to copy watchskin but its doesnt show on the watch please help. the watch is from china

You must install Universal Launcher then build an folder on your smartwatch root named clockskin you get clocksins out of the net for free as Archive these archives you extract to the clockskin folder on your phone root when your phone ask you what launcher should be used click watchclockskin launcher every time
Then set all settings in clockskin launcher and now when you hold the display for 2-3 seconds you can swipe left and right to set a skin then one click on display set the skin.
I’ve an full Android 8.1 too and have the same problem weeks ago. When you’ve questions ask you’re welcome

I use dateimanager+ there I can get downloaded skins out of google drive ore from my server into the watch via ftp that can be on the app dateimanager+ ore named file manager+
