I just got my transformer today with keyboard (its so cool!) and I have a colelction of apps from my old android handsets on my laptop. Is there a way of sideloading these apps onto the tablet without rooting?
just copy the apk files to the transformer and then run them from file explorer.

Ah awesome. Glad its that easy.
You have to check that box about loading apps from outside the market though, don't you?
Yes, you have to.

i know theres other threads out there with readers hub
but none thats fully functional
this was ripped out of the jm6 fw that was just released last week
i pulled it off my own tab
just install all apks and all should work
you might have to put them in your system app folders then restart
see post 2 for zinio apk
Please let me know your results
heres zinio apk
Awesome. Thanks alot. I have a north american tab so these apps were not included. I hav ed actually found aldiko and nook to be great reader apps, especially since you can import epub files. I tried to replace my gallery app with another that was supposed to display as higher resolution images, which it does but also force closes often. Any chance you can upload the stock gallery 3d apk?

I tried to install the ReadersHub.apk, no dice :-(
put in in your system apps folder and reboot
I installed this and can get zinio working to where the magazine subscriptions are present, but there are no pictures. I installed it about two weeks ago. Do you know how old this Apk is? I'd love to get it to work.

I'm EXTREMELY new at this apparently, when you say system apps folder, which one is that? I tried to put it into the Root folder but I cannot get it to work.

i think you want to use root explorer or adb to put apk in /system/apps/ folder.
Zinio still doesn't show the page pictures unless you pinch to zoom for any magazines after August 2010. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a fix in the works? Cannot get any info from zinio directly.

ok you need to be rooted and have busy box install to be able to write to system
once you have above done open up estrongs/or root explorer find the app your trying to install copy it and paste it into system / apps folder then reboot
I still can't get the Reader's Hub file to install or show up in the apps list after rebooting. I've spent hours trying to get this work and no dice.
Wonder if the problems with Zinio can be remedied by changing our screen density settings? Just a thought, may be way off here.

Copied with Root explorer and rebooted. Still doesn't show up as installed. Is there supposed be a .odex file to go with it?

Max, if you have Titanium backup, can you take a backup of Readerhub and post the backup file?

Hello!
I received my Asus EEE Pad Transformer on the 27th of April. This is my first Android Device, and my first tablet and I'm loving it.
Now I've downloaded all the Emulators by Yongzh (Snesoid, Gameboid..etc) but I noticed the Sega Genesis Emulator (Gensoid) is missing! Apparently it was removed at the request of Sega.
Is there any possible way to install Gensoid out of the Marketplace? If yes, how would I go about doing that?
Thank You.
If you get a copy of the APK, you could simply download that to your Transformer and install that. It might also be found on one of the other markets, such as Amazon's.

Thank you for the response! I have said .apk file now.
Which app would be better to install onto my transformer device?
AndroZip File Manager https://market.android.com/details?id=com.agilesoftresource&feature=search_result
or
appInstaller https://market.android.com/details?id=com.IQBS.android.appInstaller&feature=search_result
Do you have any personal experience with these apps?

The transformer comes with a built in file manager. Put it in a folder, the find it with the file manager.
My wife is one suffering from the market access issues with her Nook Color (rooted 1.3).
I have a Transformer, unrooted stock. I was curious if there is a way I can download APK files off of it and place them on to her nook? I searched through the file folders, but all I seem to be able to find are the apk files for the apps that came standard with the unit. The ones I installed from the market aren't there with the rest of them.
Can anyone point me at what to do?
-Brian
You can, try to use RootExplorer. The file will be definitely on the system partition. But just search these forums. APKs of the Market are avilable for download.

Apps download from market is store in data/app. You can't access those folder without being root.
You can try and pull them using ADB.
I'm not sure if it work for non root TF but try Astros file explorer.
There's an option to backup app. I use it on my phone to get apps not avaiable for the TF (My phone and TF is rooted however).
UPDATE: I was able to install the .apk by copying it to /system/app/ no fuss no muss. Once there it was ready to run without as much as a reboot required. Thanks to baseballfanz for the solution.
I am running gnufabio's Revolver 4.0.3 RC3 and downloaded the removed apps zip. I am trying to install the AsusReader.apk (MyLibrary), when I used my TF101 stock I liked this app for PDF viewing much better than Polaris Office.
When I try and install it says installation failed, do I need to flash this via recovery (a la gapps)?
(I would have posted this in the ROM thread, but I don't have a high enough post count to post in there yet.)
I've never run into this error otherwise, try flashing via cwm, I think that's what was intended being a 'system' app.
If there's a cwm flashable file try that, if not try manually moving it to system/app instead of installing it like a regular apk
Did you find a solution for this? I really liked the MyLibrary app, I have tried installing as a zip, manually putting in the zip folder etc. There seems to be a few of the Asus apps that won't install. Alternatively does anyone know of a good app that organises PDFs in a similar way to MyLibrary?
I haven't tried flashing via cwm yet, I need to get to my laptop so I can yank the stuff I don't want out of the zip.

[edit]I just thought about what baseballfanz said and decided to give that a try. I used Root Explorer and moved the apk to /system/app and it was in my app list, no reboot needed.[/edit]
I tried moving the apk into the app folder but it didnt work. Are you using the apk from the revolver main post?
Yes, extract the apk and use a file explorer with root access. I used Root Explorer, find the extracted apk and long press on it select copy or move. Then navigate to /system/app and then touch paste.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
I tried the exact same thing about 10 times and eventually it worked by renaming the APK to MyLibrary.apk. Very odd!
It's definitely the best app for displaying groups of PDF in a library view that I've found
Thanks for your help
Glad you got it all sorted MrMuz.
I just went and double checked mine and it is still AsusReader.apk
AsusReader on Lenco TAB-9701
Hello MacFett,
I have tried to install the AsusReader.apk as both AsusReader.apk and MyLibrary.apk in the system/app folder, but it does not seem to work.
The icon shows up but when I tap it I get a message that the application has stopped (after 2-5 seconds). I'm using a Lenco TAB-9701 tablet.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I really like this app (I've used it on other tablets) and would very much like to get it working.
Furthermore, does anyone have information on how to root the 9701?
Thanks in advance for your help.
It maybe that it is fc'ing because these Asus stock apps for the transformer.

Hi there. I try to install Asus Mynet app on another tablet (Nexus 7) but copying .apk and .odex files did not do the job. Is there another way to install? Thank you.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
It's possible that it only works on ASUS firmware. As each stock ROM is different from device to device.
Also, It could be that asus uses some sort of app framework. If they do, then you probably need to install it.

You won't be able to copy the .odex file to the nexus 7 as the frameworks are different. You need to use the DEODEX version of mynet and copy that.
Either find a version of the ASUS Apps or download CROMI from my sig and extract it from there.

I just tried downloading your link to the MyNet.apk file and it downloaded fine but when I click on the file to install it it fails.
Any suggestions.

You can't install it like a normal apk as it will be signedprotected (?) differently.
You can insert it into your systm/app folder and change the permissions to the same as other system apps using root explorer or es file explorer - it might work that way. Remember to reboot after.

Nope, tried that and it still doesn't work. BTW - the permissions were already the same as other apps.
Thanks for the idea though...
