command to install apk

Is there a command that can be used in a terminal emulator on the hero to install an apk from the sdcard? If not can it be done using adb commands? I am trying one of the froyo roms and before I start installing anything through the market, I would like to install a file manager. I have AndExplorer in an apk on the sdcard but I can only access it through adb or a terminal emulator.

Just adb push it to systen/app or you could install appinstaller from the market.

Open terminal.apk and issue these commands hitting enter after each line.
su
cd /sdcard
cp "app.apk" /data/app
This should do the trick. I don't think it will work with a2sd but I could be wrong. I tested it out just a few minutes ago and it worked great.

perhaps start over using a guide in dev or general forum.
easiest, just flash a base rooted ROM, not a whole lot different from "stock"

You need to learn how to use adb. Google it and find a guide. You can also do all of that from a terminal. Its just basic linux commands. Nothing fancy.

You can use ADB. I'll post the command when I get home.

Open command prompt.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
exit
If you use Terminal on the phone, use this.
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
exit

Reverting to play from legacy on ThiaiZ 2.8

Is there any way to get the original "market"/play back?
The legacy play is not working with new purchases an don't filter comments on version / device.
I tried restoring an old backup from titanium backup but that failed, do i have to do something to clean out legacy play first?

First connect your phone with USB Debugging turned ON, on your pc and open ADB shell...
Then type:
su [hit enter]
mount -o rw,remount /system [enter]
rm /system/app/PhoneskyLegacy.apk [enter]
pm uninstall com.android.vending [enter]
reboot [enter]
After rebooting you will see the old market app just open it and you will be able to update it to the new Google Play 3.8.16 If you don't find the app (but I am pretty sure that you will) download it here!
HIT thanks if it worked

Awesome, that did indeed work
Thanks!

Strange. I've got both Play apps on ThiaiZ 2.8, the new and the legacy one, and both are working like they should. I just freeze the Legacy app when I don't use it with Titanium backup.

That's strange, i read about that there would be a separate market app for legacy but mine only had legacy.
However I did a dirty flash from Promethius, maybe something to do with that.
