Any way to push .apk's on a computer with no admin rights?

Or am I just out of luck? I'm at work and don't have administrator rights, so I can't install ADB drivers either. Is there another program I can use?

(depending on the app) just use a file manager to install.

you could always drag and drop the apk to your sdcard and use a file explorer on your phone to install the apks

I'm needing to install a couple of HTC apps that aren't included with the RegawMOD app (quickoffice, pdfreader, and the navigator interface). Is that possible using a file manager?

yes it is.

should work, i think you can install new .apk's through file manager, not overwrite. or thats my experience.

(depending on app) file explorers use package installer to install the apps, overwriting is more than possible.

Yup
you can, and if it says "Install failed" or something close to that, you can always use the "move" or "cut" function in the explorer to just paste it into the directory you want it in. then reboot.

interested reg, i didnt know you could paste in the desired directory and a simple reboot would install.
the more you learn

No reboot required if you're using root explorer. Matter of fact, I always export my ringtones directly from SD card to sys/media/audio/ringtone w/ every flash of a new rom, and they'll stay in the system for the duration of future flashes (until complete wipe anyways..)

Thanks guys. I was able to use ASTRO File Manager and it worked like a charm.
Now I just gotta find a few more apk's that I need.

When you plug the usb in does it show that it detected a device but can install the drivers? If so and you have the sdk tool kit on your pc you can push via the adb command to the phone. I had the same issue at work could see or load any drivers for my phone but was able to push everything to my phone.

[Tool] Use your external sd card for large files or game data

Only a few days with my note 10.1 and I'm already out of space (internal memory) due to large game data. The same thing happened to me with the galaxy tab plus earlier this year. Back then I used folder plug and my problem was solved but it seems that in my current situation folder plug doesn't work. That's when I heard of directory bind. I gave it a try and BINGO. The setup is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. I would recommend it to anyone who (just like me) runs out of internal storage on their GN 10.1. You can download directory bind from here
How to:
1) Install it of course then run it
2) Menu then add new entry
3) Target (where the file/folder you want to move is). Long press and it will give you a list of directories to choose from.
4) Source [where you want to put it (somewhere in your external sd I believe)]. Use /mnt/extSdCard/ instead of the one that is there by default.
5) Save
6) Enjoy!
NB:1) The disk icon before your link should be green if not just click on it. If it's red that means something is not right, check your directories again
2) Your device has to be rooted

can't download from 4shared , do you have other place to download? and some screen shot will be good too,
thank you

Just checked 4shared and it's working fine. Anyways here's a new link (hope it works) .
I also included some screenshots

I can download now, thx will give it a try

this is perfect thanks, i tried it earlier but didnt put the /mnt/extsdcard/ part in, it actually works now

Hi there,
Tried to use it with Dolphin browser, in order to change the default download directory to the external SD card. As Dolphin itself can't.
No matter what I try, it just makes my downloaded files disappear from my browser's view (ES explorer).
They actually are somewhere, as I can run them from the download-window from the Dolphin browser, but ES explorer can't even find them.
Too bad.
Would have been a nice work around.
Regards,
***EDIT***
As soon as I unbind both the directories, the files reappear. In the sdcard directory that is (not etxSdCard)...
***EDIT 2***
No matter what explorer I use.

Don't use this method. Bugs many amd last files as well.
Consider swap method by other post

That's weird i don't have such an issue with it. Did you double check your directories? I use root explorer with no issue at all (although sometimes player pro seems to show duplicates...)

I haven't messed around with the other methods yet. However I'm gonna keep your comment in mind

Do you have your ES Explorer settings to show hidden files?

So go to homescreen click left most bottom button which is settings then find applications then enable non market apps and you should see the right most tab is sd card rowser yay!:cyclops:

Snif I thought I had it all figured out apparently that sd slot was just for programs installed on the sd not to browse the sd for apk's to install, still need someway to execute .apk's without market/play playing around with the stock wifi I found out that it was not connecting and needed a push so eventually market worked and wallah problem solved! Imagine other peeps might not have this problem so anyone with a solution would be awesome still!!!

[Q] App Image Ripper?

Hey I was wondering if there is any app, or any way to get the images from apps? An example, I wanna make a website wiki of a card game. I need the card images.

Bump!

Any file explorer, i would recommend to use ES File Explorer save the apk to the sd card then you can open it there.
Enjoy

For some reason some of the APKs do not have all the images in the APK file. I think some of these apps download a whole bunch more stuff after installing T_T. Now I need to find that and see whats up.

Then you can probably find it with a file explorer by app data....
You might need root for this.
I am not sure what i am saying

If you have the apk file you can easily decompress it.
Just rename the apk to zip and open it with winrar.

How to stop file extension renaming

As I transfer files from my computer (Win7) to phone (Z Ultra, Lollipop stock) files with .jpg extension are automatically being renamed as .jpeg. I don't understand why as Android apps seem to struggle with jpeg. I'm using ES Explorer's remote manager to transfer but I don't think that is the issue as I recall similar patter when done with USB cable some weeks ago. Is there a setting or other easy fix?

How do you use ES to transfer? FTP? Also the format .jpg is the same as .jpeg, so i don't see the problem

Remote Manager function. Android seems have to issues with .jpeg extension, some apps don't recognize as .jpg. For example, book Moon+ Reader for book covers.

These require installation on PC which I usually do not have permission to do. It's annoying in any case. These apps also want too much access to personal info like contacts and call logs, and require signing up to accounts.
I need the PC side to be as network location/drive or accessed from browser. No software, accounts, etc.
I tested over USB cable directly and it doesn't change the extension so it is ES Explorer that is doing it.

Use superbeam

My brother has emailed ES Explorer, hopefully they will fix the issue. ES Explorer is otherwise perfect.
Airdroid- transferred a file over browser interface. Drag & drop not supported (I have latest Firefox), can't select folders (only files), can't upload to SD card (only internal memory).
Superbeam- even worse than Airdroid, need to buy Pro version so I can change the directory!

And I should add Shareit was the worst. It overwrites the hotspot setting and creates an unsecured connection. Not only annoying, very unsafe!
