In case there's somebody around here wondering, I'm starting a thread to show you how to download FREE apps if you don't have market access. Any FREE app you can find online in .apk form is yours. Please note you DO NOT need ROOT ACCESS to follow these steps, but I recommend it anyways, so use that nifty search bar and try it out.
Note: This is a method only for installing FREE APPS that are already free. Some people complain of not having the market app, others have market crash issues. This method is only to be used as an alternate to the Market if you do not have market access.
What you'll need:
Method of data transfer between phone and computer (USB Cord, MicroSD adapter, etc)
ASTRO File Manager- Found in the Android Market for free.
Level of Difficulty: 2/10
Procedure:
Step 1: Download ASTRO File Manager
This is self-explanatory. Go into your market and search for: ASTRO
Look for the result that reads: ASTRO File Manager
Download the app, it's free.
Step 2: Connect phone/SD to computer
Either plug in your phone and select mount, or plug your MicroSD into an adapter. Once your computer recognizes the SD card, move to step 3.
Step 3: Create free apps folder
Create a new file folder on your SD card in the top directory (meaning on the SD card and not in any other file folder). Name it Free Apps or similar.
Step 4: Download your .apk files
Search the internet for your desired applications. XDA forums and iPmart are great places to start. Once you find your application, download it and drag it to your Free Apps folder on your SD card.
Step 5: Unmount phone
This doesn't need explaining.
Step 6: Run ASTRO
Once your phone is unmounted and ready, run ASTRO File Manager. Once the application loads, it will list all the folders on your SD card. Navigate to your Free Apps folder, and select it. Once open, find your application you wish to install. It may list it twice, one with the logo and the other with a little settings logo, click the one that has the actual application logo.
Step 7: Installation
A menu will popup with two choices: Explore or App Manager. Select App Manager. It will come up with a new window, and beneath the application logo will be a button that says install. It will bring up the familiar installing are you sure screen, click yes and install it. Once it finishes, click done. Now you can install more or run your application.
That's it, enjoy your apps.
Hmm... I don't see any piracy. There are a lot of "Free" apps online. Android is Open Source. Now if he was talking about downloading paid apps for free... then we have a problem.
This is just a thread showing how to install free apps... which there are billion of online.

If you actually went to the website listed.. Its a website that offers FREE PAID android apps.. Is that not piracy?
EDIT : Besides... Why would you use this method of installing free apps? The market offers free apps..

First site is this one and the other one, I didn't see any paid apps offered for free....looks like a china site from what I could see.....
The market isn't the only place to get free apps. Most of the ones I have were gotten right here....

Seriously dude you need to stop...one of the sites he mentioned has warez in it. For instance here are a few PAID apps...
Solo v1.21
Advanced Task Killer PRO v1.7.6
SetCPU for Root Users v1.5.3a
Should I go on or should I let you continue making yourself look foolish??
MyDroidHax said:
We dont support wares here kid. So please GTFO these forums with your ****ING ****! people work hard to make these apps so people like us can enjoy them. And they spent hours on making the apps and your here to rip them off really?
Now If you would kindly like to support the free apps for being free and the paid apps for being PAID!!!
Then you shall do this for the "goodies" aka Free apps.

You need to watch your language. This is your first and last warning.
As far as "piracy" is involved... I don't see any here. Just because the guy says there's a way for you to go throw yourself off a cliff, doesn't mean you're gonna go do it, right ?
He's offering a solution on how to install freely available .apk's. How you get them and If YOU choose to go download them, that's your problem.
Now let's play nice...
VinceOB, MyDroidHax, and Juggsy, you all really need to calm down. I may not have worded it correctly, but I fixed it. The reason I posted this was because a ROM I installed for whatever reason didn't have the market app, so I had no market access. There are a wide array of free apps on both sites, yes there are a few paid on iPmart, but iPmart is still one of the best overall sources for free apps as well. Seriously, i didn't plan on awaking to controversy.

No worries man. I was just trying to save you the trouble of getting your thread deleted. The way it was worded before, seemed to ME like a method to install PAID apps from alternate sources.
I apologize, and thanks for your contribution.

And I have no respect for some one that comes in here and tells me what to do right off.

Well, you asked for it. Telling a moderator to *** off is definitely uncalled for, even if I use "Windows Mobil"
p.s. Don't forget that XDA is still 90% windows mobile. It's where its roots are. You should respect that.

I didn't see him drop the f bomb on u. He might have meant it that way but that would be putting words in his mouth.
Sometimes I wonder what the qualifications are to become a mod are. So far I believe the first three qualifications are ego, power hungry, and favoritizm.
Care to elaborate on the extensive and rigorous interviews and testing that took place to acquired ur higher status.
BTW win Mobil is only around cause its backed by Microsoft. Doesn't mean it's a great OS. Just that the backers have deep pockets and wont let it die.
ok, I don't like or condone the way this thread has gone. Instead of discussing the topic of free apps, its all about calling people names and slagging each other off.
@cbarlan - The f word was never mentioned by either MyDroidHax or
NRGZ28. One used "-Blam-" the other "***". It was actually you which first referred to the f-word.
But none of this matters. What matters is your respect for fellow xda users as per rule #2 below.....which by they way does mention no cursing which MyDroidHax blatantly flaunted.
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. For this reason we'd like to ask you to refrain from discussions about religion or politics, we do not wish to limit your right to free speech, but we have noticed these topics tend to get heated and might be best discussed in a different environment. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.

Please remind nrgz28 who is a moderator of the rule u posted. I believe he was very rude in emplementing his harsh warnings instead of being polite and respectful. U can be stern and respectful at same time. And for future reference when someone uses stars inplace of a word it is usually vulgar. Also no need to threaten with this is ur first and last warning. Remember rule u referenced and be polite as well. I'd be willing to write up a wiki on how to use ur manners and be respectful as I've had to reach my six year old. Kinda the same thing
Thank you to the mods for the cleanup work. MyDroidHax initially used F***ING, and then edited it. I read the post almost immediately.
Anyways, I updated the post, and I wrote it at 1AM here today, so I was tired. Sorry for misconceptions guys. Like I said, I had market issues, so I found this way to help me and felt I'd share.
Yes you can get paid apps, but it doesn't mean you should or are going to. This is just a workaround to a normal situation, use it how you will.
Also, you guys really shouldn't rip on the mods. The rules clearly stated that you can't do what MyDroidHax did, and so he was told he can't. So? That's how it works, he won't do it again if he doesn't want to get banned.
On a related note, this can also be used to install apps that are not in the market but are available online, such as betas hosted online, custom apps, etc. If you're rooted, you should have "install non-market apps" checked, but if it's not it will take you to the screen where you check it during this process.
I am 98% sure this doesn't require root access. The file manager I know doesn't, and on the Hero (since we have not been neutered like ATT phones) we can install apps from outside sources. So that option is freely available.
What here requries root access?
Not giving you heck, just trying to make the post more informational.

So between flashes I started backing up my apps to the sd by using the AppControl app. Worked like a charm–no problems. So after flashing a new ROM, and installing the apps I had backed up, package installer had issue with a few, and said it couldnt install, even though they were apps I had on my previous system, and were fully paid for. So now im thinking, no problem, ill just go to the market and re-DL them...and this is where it gets strange, but the actual listing for the apps that I had problems with no longer show up in the market for me. I mean, they really dont show up. I have searched by name, scanned QR codes and went to the dev's other apps and went to the visit more apps link. Even stranger is that one of the apps that didnt install and is now gone (nesoid) is made by the same guy that made an app that did (Snesoid). When i go to view just his apps, Snesoid shows as installed, but I just get the listing for nesoid lite, no nesoid at all.
Any ideas?
The only thing i can think of is if you flashed an ADP1 which you cant see paid apps with.
On a side note i dont think this belongs in development more like QA
I'm having a similar but probably unrelated issue. I went to use I tweet! today only to notice its no longer installed on my phone. Neither is Hello IM, which I paid for. They show up as installed in the market, but when I open the market listing, both the open and uninstall buttons are greyed out.
I tried repairing the ext partition using the cyanogen recovery, no effect. Movies by flixster is also missing, and I'm sure there's probably more that I haven't noticed. These apps are not in the manage apps settings, so I can't uninstall them. I do have nesoid still, as well as many other paid apps.
I think my sdcard is just dying, but wonder if anyone else has experienced this as of late?

Anyone with the knowledge to help with this is going to be a dev type. Thats why I posted here.
If it was a problem with just the rom it should have been solved by flashing to a different version which i did. I have tried this on 2 versions of eclair and 1 donut.

Will appreciate any help you guys can bring me
I am new to this world, buy 710 to my girl as a gift. Now she wants a specific ringtone. But need Zune (it refuse to install) Windows Embedded S 7, downloaded 2 times and always get error.
So I was wondering if is there a way to set the ringtone on the go, for example in Android that is the world I know the most, you can set it, just need a file explorer then copy the file to the folder Ringtone in your SD Card, and viola you got to ringtones and there is the file you just copied. Any similar in Windows 7.8?.
Thanks for any help you can bring me.

Sorry is about a request that made in the lumia 800 forum. Sorry If was bad.
I tried to google it but no luck so far, let see with your help, show same result when I was looking for. Is there a way to do it on the go, like I do in Android?. Do not need any pc!
1: Generally, avoid cross-posting. If you must cross-post (put the same message to multiple forums), make it clear what you're asking and don't force us to chase links.
2: Use a meaningful thread title. This one fails that test, hard. I read (almost) every thread in this forum section; most people won't bother with one that has a title like this.
3: Always search before posting. There are multiple apps that can convert MP3 to ringtones for WP7.

1.Thanks for that advice.
2.You are right from now will try to write a better title to my threads.
3. I always do. But no luck. Could you point me to any of those apps.
Thanks
My WP7 device is currently out of commission, but a search for "mp3 ringtone" on the WP8 marketplace turns up literally dozens of apps, many of which I know work on WP7 and some of which are explicitly to do what you need.
Alternatively, you could try solving the problem with Zune. What is the *exact* version of Windows you're trying to install it on?

If you're phone is dev unlocked or interop unlocked, you can always use my R1ng3D app , otherwise there are some good ringtone apps on the marketplace.

Good afternoon dear forum dwellers,
I find my self facing a very steep obstacle related to an application. My agricultural family requires the application in order to conduct normal work. The issue i am faced with is two fold. I am unable to download/install the application due to either region restriction or phone restriction.
The notorious application is this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yara.checkit
So i request the aid and wisdom of those of you that possess far greater abilities than i, in solving this perhaps simple conundrum. My request is the following: Would it be possible for someone to download that application and sub sequentially sent me the .APK file of it so that i may install it manually. Alternatively i am open to any and all suggestions regarding the resolution of the above issue.
Thank you for your time, and i apologies if this post is not in the correct section of the forum,
Humbly yours,
Shallowmist
(PS: I have contacted the application developer regarding the same resolution i have suggested, unfortunetly the support was.... How should i put this? The support leaves a'lot to be desired.)

I did ask them for the apk file they had no idea wtf i was talking about. I got 2 women one on the regular support line one on the "computer service desk" they seemed very surprised anyone was calling them at all, and neither wanted to help.

Hello everyone.
Yesterday I installed a game called Ace Fishing, and since my Galaxy S7 Edge Exynos is rooted, the game detected it and refused to run.
I looked on how I can hide my root, a quick Google pop up suggested to tick off the Enable Superuser in the SuperSU app options. So I did it and it indeed helped.
Until I realized when I try to launch SuperSU again I get an error saying the binary couldn't be found and it mentioned something about android version 5 or something.
I ended up updating SuperSU to the latest version through Google Play and now when I launch SuperSU I get SuperSU Root Undetected message.
I can still see my old options and if I am fast enough even tap on settings in SuperSU.
Basically my question is, how can I tick the option back on? I cannot use some root-only programs now, and I can't reset everything from scratch just to tick the option back on, I'm in base away from any computers for the next week.
Please someone tell me there's a way to close the message screen and tick SuperSU Enable option back on, any way to edit the settings from the folder or anything at all, please.

If you are using mode edit: app name removed and mode edit: app name removed then you won't get any help here. Those are considered warez, warez is software that is designed to steal paid software(the kinds of things the developers around here are responsible for building) or get items free that should be paid for.
This website was founded BY developers, FOR developers(the kind of people your software is designed to steal from), it wasn't created for us everyday users, they just "allow" us access to the work that is done here. You are using software that you obviously use to get paid games for free and to get in-app purchases for free(this is stealing from the developers of those games, they are probably even members here, it is also against the XDA Forum Rules), then you come here looking for help with a device that you have been using to steal from their colleagues. How much help do you think you will get with that?
The truly loyal members here won't help you with this.

How much help? Enough from a decent person I assume. You can't just come barging in spitting that at me, you can't judge or know how much I actually put into buying apps or in-apps. Everyone's used these before, and I believe if you're going to be honest with yourself you'll admit it too.
Either way, the fact here remains that my SuperSU is messing around and I don't seem to have root access tempirarily at least. If your problem lies within what apps I download that use root, you've got a serious problem and should stick to yourself. I couldn't care less about those apps, right now I just want this question answered: can I fix this problem without using a computer or reflashing everything?
For anyone else who may be of help; using root checkers show that I have no root, even though I do and I simply ticked off the Enable SuperSU option in SuperSU settings, I didn't full unroot or something, simply tried to hide the root so I can access a game that ws blocking rooted devices.

My reply wasn't to be rude, it was to state facts to make you aware that the software you use, the activity you participate in and the device you do it on and discussions of "how to" are not allowed in this scenario.
You use software that isn't allowed in this forum which is clearly defined in the forum rules that you were supposed to have read when you created your account here and you most likely use it to steal software and paid items.
Then you want to talk about a "decent person"?
No, I don't use warez, at all, there's nothing I need or want that requires being purchased. If it isn't free or if I don't buy it, I don't use it.
I don't have a problem with whatever root apps you use. The administrators, senior moderators and moderators here have a problem with "warez" specifically, the device it is used on and the people that use it. By the time one of them sees this thread, they'll probably just delete my posts, then leave a post here informing you of the rules and close this thread. Fair warning was all I was giving you. By all rights I should have reported your thread but I try to help members learn their way around to avoid them getting reported. So, in effect, I was trying to inform you and help you avoid the issue here.

Um, okay? I appreciate it, I guess?
I don't need help with warez, SuperSU isn't warez, I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to get my root status back again. Dealing with a headache with no answers to (as far as I've searched) and its all because a single button.

But you need help with the device that you used warez on.
If this thread stays open, you might get help, who knows. I'm just saying that the serious people here won't.
There is a simple fix, I'll give you a hint, the process will probably cause you to lose your data.

Thanks for the tip but like I said, I'm over at my base and have no access to any computers, I can't reset my device and reflash anything. I just want to know if it's possible to tick that option back on.
Still in a pickle here. Has anyone ever had the same issue before? Any help will be appreciated.

I tried to tell you that you probably wouldn't get any help with this. Sorry.

The thread got closed since it's breaching the forum rules. It cannot be excluded that the mentioned warez apps are involved in the problem.
The Forum Rules said:
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.

The latest wrinkle in this ongoing problem is ads with soundtracks! They just start going off when I'm on my phone, and if I'm in public they can be really annoying to those around me! I've read the only thread on the subject posted last year where someone suggested an ap call configAPK be found and removed. I did that but I'm stilling ads. Someone suggested hit the Recent key on the navigator in order to find the source of the ad, like what app put it out, but I didn't understand the instruction. Some members even blamed Samsung for doing the, but how would their doing this not simply drive everyone to consider an Apple phone?

Thanks so much. This will keep me busy for a while!
It's odd that this is going on. Apps are hijacking our phones and getting away with it! Actually, I'm surprised advertisers are doing this. Do they really think people will read their ads, or just get get pissed and boycott!? Half the time I don't even know who the advertiser is because my kneejerk response is instants "delete"!

Just in reference to the recent apps method you mentioned it's just another way to get into app settings through settings - apps.

I'm still working on the process in the link.
Today I hit the Recent button after a video ad and found BeiTaPlug. I planed to Google it but saw your response and had to check it. Later I saw Smart Scan there, which I know i suspicious, by virtue of having a Scan prefix. I can find the latter but not the former. It appears to be a plug in but where would I find plugins?
