Is it possible to install market place without flashing and not rooted. Please help! For honeycomb.

Yes? Can't you just grab a compatible vending.apk and then install it via sdcard? You don't have to be rooted.
If it's a ".apk" file, then you can copy it into the SD card (probably a folder that can be located easily such as "Downloads") and then just select it from your device. Android should automatically install it.

Hey there, I just recently downloaded perception custom rom and all of the APK's were taken out to keep the initial download and install of perception small, and now I have no idea how to install them onto my phone to use. Can someone instruct me on how to do so? Thank you

I used Sideload Wonder Machine to install APK files onto my non-rooted stock phone. Not sure if that would work for you or not, but it's available at: http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
Yea you could use side load wonder machine. Also, you could just root and enable off market installations.
or u can use the new app that can install multiple apk at a time

If u already have the apk stored on ur sd from a separate theme for the same rom, could you extract the apk u want and move it to a different theme?

from command line
Code:
adb install name_of.apk
is what I use, there is no need for root.
If you are on windows you can put loads of these commands into a batch file and automate your re-installation.(You'll have to look that up yourself) If you are on linux you use a shell script or do like I have and make it a script for your file manager (Nautilus) so you just right click a group of .apk files and select install...
Sideload wonder machine works wonders.
Perception is an I9000 rom you don't need to do anything special to enable non market installation. Find the file on your SD card and just click on it to install.
I'm running into this issue and don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I download things they automatically go into my sdcard/download folder. I downloaded a theme for the Xoom and I verified it was on my SD card by going into Root Explorer and looking for it.
When I reboot into recovery and go to install the .zip the file doesn't who up at all. Also if my card is corrupted is there a way to wipe from the Xoom itself?
It needs to go in the external folder within your sdcard.
So I have to make a folder called external and move the things? Is there a way to have the browser through downloads to a particular folder instead of me having to do it manually? I prefer to browse XDA from the browser and I like to download things from XDA. I will try that now and see if that works. Thanks I'll post back if it works out for me.

It won't work
You can't just make a file called external. I assumed that you had installed one of BRD's custom kernel's. This is the only way you can use the external SDcard. I assumed since you had cwm recovery working that you had done this.

You need to be updated to 3.1 to use the latest kernel.
I also don't know of away to (easily) change the download location with the stock browser. An aftermarket browser may let you change the download location.
Awesome. It worked when I moved it into the extracted folder. I was able to flash the theme.
I was wondering if there was a way to change download path by editing something in root explorer.. Most if not all the things I download are from XDA and are flashable.
ok, guess you got it working
I just rooted my tmobile samsung galaxy s 4g phone. I am trying to do new ROM for it. I downloaded the update file, tried to to reboot in recovery mode. It keeps giving me error messages. I am new to this and really need help figuring this out. How else can I get new ROM on my phone?
If you want to get on gingerbread, follow my GB starter pack guide. It's in my signature. Don't forget to check out audiophile ftw or valhalla since those are the main GB roms right now.
If you really wanted to though, you could stay on the stock rom if you skip the CWM rom installation step and just do the busybox_installer step.

You say you downloaded the update.zip file but you do not mention the other file you need. The modded recovery.bin. That needs to be pushed in system/bin in order for the update.zip to work.
Did you also download and apply the modded recovery.bin? You need both files.

Where do I get the mooded recovery bin file? Thank you in advace.
If your attempting to get cwm through krylon360's cwm final thread then both the update.zip and the modded recovery file are there.

So do I download these files on my computer, hook my sd card up the computer and push them onto the sd card, or download them on my phone? Thank you.
Download them to your computer. Move them to your SD card. Leave update.zip on root of SD card. Use a file explorer app such as super manager to push the modified recovery.bin to the folder system/bin. Make sure your file explorer app is set r/w. Then boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages. You should boot into cwm recovery.

Ok not sure if this is the right place or what but im a go ahead anyway, i was looking at some custom roms and i notice that some roms had the DownloadproviderUI.apk i tried pulling it and putting it on my phone but nothing i keep getting error messages that the file cant be something.(sorry)
the apk was running on the Triumph and i have a Triumph but its on a custom rom im running a Stock and it cam from a CM7 so is it possible to port the apk file to Stock and how if anything?
The stock rom should have a apk handler with it also, are you trying to download apps from browser and install them? If so just go to settings. Then application . Click unknown resources hit ok, best to have a file explorer to find downloads and install

No really like that, I know how to do that im talking about if i wanted to take a app from the CM7 roms apk file then add it to my SD card and download it to my phone (i know ill still have to do what you said also) but when i do it says "problem parsing the package" but it comes from a triumph rom so how doo i get this to work on the stock roms?
Hmm, just needing the DownloadproviderUI.apk from cm7? Extract from zip then try pushing it to system/apps and fix permissions, then reboot . Should work

That Would work but how do i get it to stick to a rom? like if i added it to the System/app folder then flashed the rom? I got the ICS Keyboard to work by adding the LIB files within the app its self to the Rom then flashed and that works but this app isn't the same.
What from are you going to flash? If its a cm7, it'll be there won't have to do that. If you want to add your apps before you flash decompile add recompile zip then flash

There are a few things that are different with the APK's
if its just a plain old third party app APK, then putting it on the sd card and locating and installing with a file explorer of some sort should work fine
If its a system related app that must be in the system with permissions then theres 2 ways, sometimes one way doesnt work
a. simply open the rom's zip and add it to the system/app folder(sometimes after doing this you'll still need to navigate to the folder and hit install usually itll install itself)
b. the trickier one if a. doesnt work, have the apk on the sd, using a file explorer that will allow you to change permissions, change the system folder from read only to read/write move or copy the apk from the sd card to the system/apps folder, Install it, then switch the folder back to read only and reboot
also keep in mind that if your trying to bring an app from CM7 to Stock some probly just wont work, CM7 is gingerbread based while stock is froyo, gingerbread changed how things like texts, data, camera, and hdmi are read by the phone and how they function or where the files are so it may just not work

How do you get a .apk to execute(or even see it on a sd card in stock device? without market/file browser?

you cant, if it was a System apk then Sometimes, you can put it into the correct folder inside a custom roms Zip and itll install itself
otherwise you need to download some type of file manager so you can navigate thru the folders, then just clicking the apk should pop-up and install menu
So I recently rooted my phone and decided to flash a .zip to add a wifi toggle to the notifications menu. It was only after I flashed it that I realized that the .zip was for ICS, and I am running OTA Jelly Bean. My phone isn't bricked, but when I turn it on I receive a message stating that "systemui.apk has stopped responding", which makes it impossible to do almost anything on the phone. I found the Jelly Bean systemui.apk, but I have no way of getting it onto my phone or SD card (my computer recognizes my phone as a CD, and I can't find the setting to make it recognized as a media device). My question to you is, is there any way to get the .zip onto my phone without having to buy a card reader for my computer?
Dropbox?

My suggestions: reinstall Samsung drivers, use adb, restore a nandroid, or flash ROM in Odin.

I managed to get the .apk file onto my phone, but I am unable to install it. I have enabled the installation of apps from outside the play store so I am confused as to why I can't install it. Does anyone know how I can install it?
Have you put it in the correct folder? If so, have you changed the permissions of the file to that of the rest of the files in the folder?

I put in in the /system/apps folder, and changed the permissions to match the other files. Still no luck installing. What are my options at this point?
I solved the problem by simply restarting my phone, the systemui.apk is not an app you can manually install!
