copy the downloaded app (.apk) onto your device into any folder
go to your basic file manager which should be included on your device

IF it doesnt work, go to settings and change the option to enable your device to install 3rd party apps.

I hand an HTC Magic + and would like to know if there was a way to load an app installer onto the android system without using android market place.
Yes i know i can easily sign into the android app market and download many installers, but that will force me to have a google account tied to my phone.
Here is the achillis heel, i do not want to log into google account on the android market.
Is there a way to install apps to the android 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 using the storage card, some offline app loader.
I know there is a way to do this using the Android SDK, i tried it, i got no idea how to use it, there are no good guides anywhere on internet forums, and youtube guide was for mac, and it wasnt presented clearly.
The reason why i want an offline app loader is so i can try many of the app from the xda forums and community without using the market place.
If you already have the .apk's it's as easy as opening them in the file manager on your phone. Just make sure you have Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources selected.
If you're asking about where you can go to get the .apk's to install them, that's a whole different story and I'm not getting in on that discussion.

I don't see the "unkown sources" selection on the setting> applications. Can anyone help ME find it?

As yesterday I am just searching some apps on play store but at instant my play store closes itself automatically & screen shows application installed successfully. & then my antivirus start scanning app, it started scaning only when new apps are installed. But actually I had not installed any App/UPDATE. Also I have checked in history manahe apps there was no any new apps installed! I was just searching on playstore. & also there is no any autoupdate box is checked, means there is no chance to download update automatically without my knowledge or permission. So is it possible that someone trying to hack my phone by installing hidden apps. If yes! Then how do I check/protect. Please don't advise to do hard reset as I have so tired doing this to install all apps again & again.

Use titanium backup, make sure your only backing up apps that you know are yours. Than factory reset.

Do the following:
1. Open cmd and navigate to the place where your adb is located
2. Type "adb shell" and press enter
3. Type "su" and press enter
4. Type "cd /data/app" and press enter
5. Type "ls" and press enter
6. Find the filename(apk) of the file that you wanted to remove
7. Type "rm <filename>" and press enter. Example, "rm test.apk"
8. If you can't find it at the /data/app
9. Type "cd /system/app" and press enter
10. repeat step 5 to step 7
The app known as Play Store Services was pushed to every device with 2.2+ some time ago, I'm guessing you just got it now

I am trying to install an App which for some reason will not install in the country I am visiting. The App is a free App, but Google Play has blocked it from downloading into this country. I managed to download the app from the evozi apk-downloader but when I click on it in File Manager it will not install and I get an "App will not install." error.
I would like to try and install the app manually but despite all my searching have not been able to come up with a way to do this. I tried copying the apk file to the system/app directory and rebooted, but that did not work. I then downloaded ZipSigner to sign the apk file and put the created opex file in the system/app folder and rebooted again, but still no results. I've tried some other installers but still unable to get it to install, even when I am offline with my GPS off.
How can I manually install an app to bypass the Google app installer?

did you enabled allow installation of apps from sources other than Play store if not go settings> Security> tick unkown sources and try it again it will surely help..and use the file browser from the phone and find the apk that you want to install n click on it and install
hit thanks button if helped
The app I want to install is FlightAware - I travel a lot, hence my desire to install this app before I return to the USA. I found that the ShopSavvy apk also has this problem. Both of these are freeware but somehow they won't install on my phone. My Google account was created in the USA with a USA address and has a USA credit card attached to Google Wallet, but with both apps I just get a "App not installed." error.
I already have the Unknown Sources - Allow installation of Apps from unknown sources Checked and the Verify Apps - Disallow or warn before installation of apps that may cause harm - Unchecked.
hmm then you sure those apks work correctly sometimes errors occur when its incorrectly or incompletely tampered.. or else try this go to settings> application manager>google play store and clear data and clear cache and do the same in google play services and try again

No, that did not work. I am really looking for a more technical solution to explain how to manually install an opp. Is this not possible in Android?

I am assuming your phone is rooted. If not, then it will be better to root it before going further.
Here is a link you can try:

APK Safe is an app that saves the APK of apps on your device when they are updated.
Later, you can install one of the saved APK to upgrade/downgrade your app.
How to use it:
Long press an app in the list. The app is selected and you can add more apps in the selection. Press the add button in the action bar, APK safe will saves the APK of the selected apps and each time you update (manually or from a store) one of these apps, the new APK is saved as well.
To change the version of an app (there is a green mark at the left of the card), press it. A popup will list the backup APKs of that app and you can select one of them to replace the currently installed one. If you downgrade and app on android 4.2 and later, the app will uninstall it first.
The app doesn't requires root but if your device is rooted and you activate "Install as root" in the settings, you'll get more features:
Silent install: upgrading/downgrading an app will show a progress bar while installing the app. You don't have to confirm the replacement, validate permissions, ...
On android 4.2 and later, you can downgrade without loosing data (without root, downgrading requires to uninstall first meaning loosing data)
Features:
Automatically save the the APK when an app is installed.
Can uninstall selected app, show informations or open the app on the market (support google play, amazon and samsung)
You can choose the backup folder for the APKs in the settings. If you want to save your APKs on a microSD on android 4.4, you MUST choose the folder /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/net.cyl.apksafe/files/backup, where /mnt/extSdCard/ is the root of your sd card (the name maybe different on your system).

Good app mate. I'm going to test it.
Hey guy's, I hope somebody can help me out here. I can't find any explanation on internet. I want to install an apk from the local storage on my Rog phone 5 ( android 12,un rooted) .
In the old days it was pretty simple, just a slide to activate the "allow unknown sources", click on the apk file and it would install. Now on the rog phone 5 in the apps¬ifications, special app-acces, install unknown apps it only shows a few apps that I can give permissions to install from unknown sources. Like Chrome, file manager, gmail, brave browser etc. ( see picture). So I give the file manager or brave the permission,restart the phone, go to the apk in the file manager but it won't install.
It will just show the contents of the apk. If I select the apk I can remove it, rename it, compress it, anything but install it.
I can choose open with brave but still nothing happens. I tried downloading an app in the playstore to install apk files but it won't even list the apk file. I have no clue why they made something that used to be so easy so complicated. So I hope somebody can enlighten me how to install an apk on this phone. Thanks in advance!
Have you enabled install unknown apps in developers options ? Special app access allows you to allow/not allow individual apps to install unknown apk files. I think you have to enable it in developer options for the native installer first. I may be wrong but it's worth checking.
I'll go check if the option is there and let you know. Tnx man.
The only thing I found was " force app allowance on external drive" and but it changed nothing.

you could try
Code:
adb shell settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1
adb shell settings put secure unknown_sources_default_reversed 1
that would be from terminal on pc or you could install settings database editor from play store and grant it permissions via adb and you will have gui to change system settings
Could you please walk me through how to do this? Tnx.

Ok, first I guess I need to ask some questions. Have you tried a different file manager, installed thru play store ? How many .apk files have you tried to install ? If it is just the one app that you have in storage it may be corrupt. Have you tried a fresh copy of it ? Is it an old app and is it compatible with your Android version ?
I don't know what I was thinking, that isn't in developer options anyway, it's in security. It would seem odd for them to remove the ability to install personal apk.
