Hello folks,
I've got an .apk file on my sd card. To install that app, i need to unmount my SD-Card. Therefor i cannot install my app - which is located on the sd card - anymore. I want to do it without the market. I already tried to move the file with the astro-manager to the mnt folder (which you can still see even you unmounted your sd card). But i couldn't copy the file with astro to this folder.
Any suggestions?
Try AppInstallerV2
You may need to move files .apk to a PC via Wi-Fi.
I do this.
Move. Apk file to pc.
Run ES File Explorer on MINI connection WiFi to PC part to .apk.
Click to .apk.
ES File Explorer to install the files. Apk by way of it to Phone.
Or do it using the adb install command.
Have a look here for ADB Infos.
Upload apk to DropBox, copy link, paste in Browser and install
*ouch* Why didnt i have this idea?
Thanks codiak that worked
i used this command ( just for other users which have the same problem as me )
adb install path/on/windows/myfile.apk

If you are using an app like root explorer or even es file explorer with root options enabled you have to make sure your system is mounted R/W before you can make changes.

How do you mount the system as R/W ?
Thanks !
Where Root Explorer and my old fave Total Commander failed, this works:

Hi, I want to the swype app on my phone and have the file on my desktop. What do I need to do to install it on my Hero?
Thanks
Here you go:
Open the market and download Astro file manager, root explorer, Linda, etc. - Some sort of file manager application for your phone
Attach your phone to the computer
Mount the SD Card
Drag and drop the swype.apk onto the sdcard - Wherever you want
Unmount the SD card
Open the file manager app you downloaded before
Navigate to the directory with the apk.
Select it by tapping on the file and install - you may have to enable 3rd party app installs, but you'll get a prompt for that if it's needed.
If you have any other questions just ask
But please ask in the right section. We have Q & A for this kind of stuff.

I am a new user of Android. I have a HTC HD2 with OS Android 2.3.2. I need a program to be that the Memory card copied files in the root\system. Tried with some programs, but we failed. What should I do?
Sorry on my English is very bad.
use root explorer
where to find this program? I tried to knock the marketplace root Explorer but under that name, no software, there are some trugi but when I try to copy files I get a message "An error occurred on copy\move". I do not know what the problem is?
+1 for root explorer. It's paid app, but it's really worth the money.

root Explorer to my marketplace does not exist.
You could also use DroidExplorer which lets you use your computer to copy/paste/modify the files on your HTC Android phone. Use Google search for DroidExplorer and download the program onto your computer. Then you should be able to change or move any file from your computer, SD card onto the phone. Just make sure to do any changes, save to computer, then copy/paste onto the phone to overwrite the original file.
DroidExplorer not working on my computers. : (
I found the root ekplorer.apk on google and I installed it and now everything works great. Thank you all for your help )
I am trying to install APK's that I deleted. I moved the copied APK's from the SD card to the system/App file and tried to install through root explorer but I keep getting error (application not installed)? I have reset permissions and tried again but same error, any help?
For future reference?
If u want to change for example the camera app /apk you have to place the new apk where the old one was instead of installing ...if thats your problem ^^

System APK's or APK's in use (loaded at startup) cannot be installed, you would have to copy and paste, or push the file to the location which would overwrite the old one if the file name is the same.
Hi
Short version: think ive buggered stock 'My File' (v1.7.0) app on UK G900F (3 network if that matters) can not move, copy or paste files from or to SD or device. Unrooted, have replacent apk file and adb windows zip, need advice/hand-holding. Think a malicious app may have knackered file or read/write path or something. Even ES file explorer or file explorer HD cant move anything. Will keep searching here on xda but any and all help appreciated.
Cheers
You can try unlocking the SDCard with an app like this

Needs root though
