Gee, use the market. Surely you're not installing a bunch of warez.
Well warez comes from the market...paid...
Try PC Suite, Droid Explorer, ThemePro, Android Commander...or even the simple APK Installer (on Google)
Haven't tried it myself, but would a simple batch file work?
adb install *.apk

Hi all,
I am completely new to smartphones, etc. searching the web I found reference to:
[APP][v1.1 release]Enhance your phone in one amazing toolbox——ZDbox by Ikaola and signed up and downloaded the file. My problem now is I do not know what to do with it. How do I install it?
It seems from the replies/comments that this is a very useful application.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Don't bother
mate, if you are completely new to smartphones, then you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand. I have been using my Desire (first smartphone) for 8 months almost, and I know I still know crap about it despite rooting it and flashing it.
Stay away from the toolbox and play with the phone in other ways.
Alternatively, if you want an easy way to install apps (.apk), go to your Market app and search for appinstaller. Using your SD card to download various apps from here and wherever else, you can install them without HTC Sync or a computer at all.
Cheers.
Thanks
Thank you for the advice.
When I posted the question I wasn't thinking clearly. I had downloaded the app to my PC and then wondered how to get it installed on the phone. The logical thing would have been to download directly to the phone. I will try to be more alert before asking another dumb question.
Thank you for your courtesy.
you can connect your phone to your PC in usb storage mode and transfer it to your sd card. from there I recommend using Astro file Manager from the market place to install it.
I've been reading here at XDA, I can find the instructions - no problem.
However, in the WIKI there are a few things I don't understand.
The problem also is that all the posts assume you know what's going on and they start in the middle of a thread.
Then there's advice to use Odin, not to use Odin, use this, don't use this.
Some say unmount the SD card, some make no mention of SD card.
Then there's different backups. I've seen Titanium mentioned.
There's advice to get the latest drivers from Samsung - The phone isn't even in the dropdown list of phones, and the letters for the model don't match.
There's the custom ROM advice. Since there aren't many for this phone as yet - and all you want to do is remove crap, what do you look for?
I have to get rid of that stupid Doubletwist and airsync before I toss the phone!

It is rather confusing isn't it...
In a simple answer....
Find the SuperOneClick zip file in one of those threads in the Dev forum & root the phone.Then go get TitaniumBackup ( Pro Recommended ) & you can remove the bloatware. I'd recommend the Pro Version so you can freez the apps you don't delete.
That's what i did on my SGS4G ( and i am not a experianced modder myself )
One problem. I downloaded superoneclick and NET can't find the runtime file.
I'm using XP and ver 4 of NET. I turned off NOD32 and Online Armor.

Uninstalled NET 4 and put in 3. I can open the file, but NOD32 keeps quarantining RAGE. Says it's a trojan.
I don't really want a custom ROM - but would like some more information on Titanium Backup. The Market won't download to the phone, but going to the market on the phone will let me download.
Thanks,
Zuben

Let it scrub the RAGE file, you need the other one actually to make it work
Which one? PSneuter?
Also some confusion about the Samsung driver. I also have a Galaxy 3. I downloaded Kies and the driver. I downloaded the new driver (did not install it)and stuck it in a folder named Samsung on the Desktop. Kies is in the Samsung folder in programs and I assume that the original driver is in there, too. The driver is listed in Add/Remove programs.
I can either delete Kies or rename that file to something else, and stop Kies from running. So there's 2 drivers, and I suspect they are the same.
Since I can't send a download from the Market on the PC to the phone, I have to download from Market on the phone. I can't install Titanium unless I root, but can I get to Titanium from the phone if I do root?
Thanks

I use linux... so i have no idea what Kies is or does..

So which phone are you trying to Root? Samsung Galaxy 3 or Samsung Galaxy S 4G? If your rooting the S 4G you can find the drivers here http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...728034640796/SGH-t959_Vibrant_USB_Drivers.zip
I have no experience with rooting with XP but I assume it would be essentially the same steps.
If your looking to do stuff on your Galaxy 3 then please go to this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=868
and do your research over there.
It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Open NOD32 application from your system tray. Go to Settings and select “Temporarily disable antivirus,” put your password in if prompted. Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. I would say to download and install ClockworkMod after rooting and before getting Titanium Backup, Except ClockworkMod currently does not work for the SGS 4G Yet. So, skip that step for now. You should be able to backup your phone after this.

This is good information, but what about for Mac users? I was previously able to root my Samsung Vibrant just by installing the update.zip file via CWM. Should Mac users wait for this course or can we make it happen now?
Also, what's the benefit of rooting right now? Just to remove bloatware? There's no custom roms yet, right?
Look at the Unix instructions about associating the USB ID with the Mac. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that is the missing step.
Update: Nope -- According to Google, http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up
Setup your system to detect your device.
* If you're developing on Windows, you need to install a USB driver for adb. If you're using an Android Developer Phone (ADP), Nexus One, or Nexus S, see the Google Windows USB Driver. Otherwise, you can find a link to the appropriate OEM driver in the OEM USB Drivers document.
* If you're developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.
* If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file...

I'm wanting to root the 4G. The Galaxy3 was bought unlocked so it doesn't have the crap on it. Like I said, the ROM seems to be ok, it's just the stupid bloatware.

Macs are out of my Knowledge base. I've taught PC repair at LAUSD in Ca, but haven't studied the Mac thing. It's something I want to learn, just have not got around to it yet.
How can I unstall factory apps so I can install the newer version? I am not interested in rooting my phone only want to remove Adobe Reader and Flash to upgrade both to a newer verison. I do not have internet access on the device and have been sideloading apps. I am still very unexperienced with adb and all of its features but have learned some. I tried to adb uninstall the app and get a message "failed" or something else saying denied or something. At first I tried to reboot in recovery mode and get an windows driver error. when I connect to adb with the phone in working order, I was apple to pull a list of factory installed programs and plugins. I am not allowed to delete any of them. Suggestions are appreciated. I do not get any error messages just sideloading programs.
From my understanding, It cant b done unless rooted.
Root your phone.

I have a dumb question. It would appear as though you have internet on your computer. Why not plug in the device, put it in internet passthrough mode (gives you internet from your computer) and let the market update the apps you can't?
Tried too many combinations of that and our stupid Internet provider here did something cause I can't connect. I had my ps3 hooked up this way before since you cant have ps3 hooked directly up they blocked it. I had to share my Internet connection so it would work. Now I can't get my phone to share with the computer tried various combinations.
Go to McDonalds, connect thru wifi, and update.

Sorry I could have given you more details. I'm in Iraq on post so it makes things more difficult.
Happy holidays guys.
I loved DroidExplorer in the past but I cannot get it to work anymore. It keeps giving me "unable to locate android SDK tools" and I have tried solutions for hours.
Does anyone know of any alternative apps that can push .apk files directly to my phone?
Example: My phone is connected via USB. I download an .apk file or locate one locally on my computer/network. I open the file and it installs silently on my connected device.
This is what DroidExplorer used to do for me. Pushed apps directly to my phone. I used to be able to go to my dropbox online, find all my backups, etc. click on the APKs I wanted and open them with DroidExplorer. It pushed the apps silently installed on my phone.
Does anyone know of a solution that can help me with this in similar fashion?
Thanks for any help guys!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Still looking...
