Sideloading help. - General Questions and Answers

I recently used the Nook Developers guide to sideload apps onto my Nook Hd, And all went well, but when I installed Injustice, I get ''failed to load you may have not installed this app'' or something along those line, could anyone help me fix this problem.

Have you moved the application data to your sdcard?
To install this game you need the apk + the data. After downloading the data it will be in a folder named om.wb.goog.injustice i think. Copy this folder to /Android/obb/ (on your sdcard) and then run the game
It should work fine after that
Please press the thanks button if i helped!

Well I installed using command prompt as it is the easiest way to sideload on the nook HD without rooting the device, I tried locating the file you said but I can not find it.

The files don't come with the APK file. You sideloaded the APK using ADB. You need to copy paste the data to your device which is over 1 GB I think. It's a separate file. Ughh you're making it sound harder than it is. It's extremely easy. Plus there are tens of easier ways to install apps on your nook.

Ok and were might I find this file which is over 1 GB? and I thought this was the essayist way to donwload incompatible games to the nook HD, All help is appreciated btw :laugh:

Feel free to click the thanks button. Lol
Just use Google to find data for your apk.. Search "injustice apk + data" and you'll find many results.
One of the ways to install Apps is installing another store on your device other than Google Play Store.
Or if you want to sideload apps easily without command prompt you can use APK Batch Installer.. Or use apkinstaller.

The most common error for sideloading is the resolution or graphic chip incompatible errors. Sideloading app data should not be the problem, try to download a fresh apk from the market and copy Data
It should work fine

so I downloaded the apk+data file for injustice and took the data file and put it in the android/obb directory on my device (I don't have a sd card if a sd card is required please tell me) and I still got the error message, so I decided to turn airplane mode on and the game started up and I got the opening cutscene then it loaded and booted back to my home menu, should I have used the apk that came with the data file or will any injustice apk work?

Hmm... I don't really know.. Maybe your tablet is just not powerful enough to run the game. That's probably why it closes

Install titanium backup without market

I flash roms a lot and there is something I need to find a fix for.
Once the flash is done I boot up and start initial phone setup menu. I have to sign into my google account at this stage obviously. So once that's done the first thing I want to do is restore my apps with titanium, so I go to the market for it, but the market straight away starts downloading ALL my apps at once when I only want TB to download. Only way to stop it is to go through the entire app list and cancel all the downloads, which takes a while. I cant let the downloads go ahead as it's far too many megabytes.
So I want a way to install TB without using the market. I've tried creating the update.zip in TB options and the zip does get created, but when I flash it from recovery it doesn't install.
Can I get the apk from somewhere and install it that way (I know you can push from cmd prompt although I've never tried it), and if so is there a way to do it on the phone only, as I often flash roms when I'm away from the computer.
When you enter your google credentials, it'll ask you if you want to back up your data. Uncheck it. Once your past that screen go into settings > privacy and assure automatic restore is unchecked.
The apks are in /data/app/ by the way.

I'm very familiar with these options. I always leave the option to backup to google ticked in case I ever need it (unlikely), but I always have auto' restore unticked, so I'm pretty sure that the automatic downloading of my apps is because the market app recognizes that I own them all when I sign in with my google account, and not because of auto' restore - but correct me if I'm wrong.
So how would I install TB using the apk. Does it have to be done with my computer? Is there another way. Root explorer would be great, but I'd have to install that the same way, which renders it useless in this particular case. What do all you experienced people do to get round this. Or do you just get through it the same way I do???
You can extract your TB using root explorer and save it on your sdcard. Sometimes its stored in /system/app or /data/app.
Usually roms come with a file explorer, so once you have a rom installed go to its file explorer and install your backed up TB. That's how I usually do it. Hope that helps.

markfavis,
you the man Your post helped me figure some stuff out. Your thanks meter just went up by a point.
I use ns_collab most of the time and I did not realise it came with root explorer preinstalled until you mentioned roms coming with a file manager. I did a bit of research and discovered root explorer is preinstalled with ns_collab. I never realised it was part of the rom as I already own root explorer so TB always restores my copy.
I've already made a copy of the TB apk files, so I reckon i've got this sorted for next time I flash a rom.
Just one more thing to check. The apk files I have backed up are:
com.keramidas.titaniumbackup-1.apk
and
com.keramidas.titaniumbackuppro-1.apk
Is this all I need to
I think you only need one of those files. One of em is the pro version. I only have one file and I install it like a regular apk file.

I've got the pro version - so I think this must be right. If you are on the free version and only use one file then I'm cookin

[HOW TO] Apps2SD WITHOUT Partition - Android 2.1 and Below

I can't find this anywhere else, so I will post it here:
I have found a way, using root, busybox and terminal emulator to get apps to install onto the SD on android 2.1.
Why?
I have a netbook that dual boots android 2.1 and windows 7 (it came like that, don't ask me how ) and when I managed to get the market onto it and installed apparently it went low on space. So I tried to get apps2sd somehow. Here's what I got:
Method 1:
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL APPS AND POSSIBLY THEIR DATA. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! IT MAY ALSO CAUSE FORCE CLOSES ON SOME APPS (UNLIKELY)
1. Get into your/data/app folder and copy com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer and com.android.term and move them to /system/app. Reboot.
2. Open root explorer and navigate to /data and delete the folder app.
3. Go to your SD and make a folder called app
4. Open terminal emulator
5. Type su
6. Type ln -s /sdcard/app /data/app
7. Reboot.
8. Install your apps from the market
9. Hit the thanks button.
I will post method 2 soon, it is one at a time moving.

So if you flash a new rom after this, would the apps still be on your SD card, run steps 1-7 again and carry on, or would that screw the market links up so you'd have to reinstall them all anyway?

They'll still be there Just do the link process again and reboot. If it screws up the market links, check out root toolbox by lukemovement on the market, it lets you fix market links

Under settings> applications do you have unknown sources checked? If not, that is most likely your problem.
Yeah have unknown sources checked, but just will hardly ever install anything. Dont get it
Took me about 50 tries to install angry birds ffs!
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Some apps need to be installed via Root Explorer by placing it to some folder.
So why after so many attempts did it work? ??
Also why do some apps insist on only working from the phone memory and not external sd card, is my 64gb card going to be useless?

Dunno, its weird.

I have 63gb free on my sd card, and 11.5 gb on my internal space lol

Hmmmm, that´s strange...perhaps the update may fix it.
Update?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
You should root it, flash a custom rom, remove the unused applications, this will make it a much faster.I'd recommend you flash the Gadgetcheck's RevoHD for Note, its perfect.
Now, when you try to install an application from any other place but market, its normal to not be able to. If you are not rooted you shouldnt be able to as well.
When I try to install an application that I have downloaded from somewhere else I think it requires superuser permissions and I have to go to Settings/Applications/Unknown sources and check it.Doing this might solve your problems.
But cant tell for sure, I'm an owner of S II not note.
Good luck.
I cant root it though
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
check the Unknown source first
Already done.

That not right, its a installed file, so you have to place it in its original folder. then restart & done
install a custom rom simples also why do you have to install that way there is a thing called the market i have a seeking suspicion that the apps you want to install a pirated we all do it
Hi there... just some ideas and few questions
First off all... is that a new samsung from a store or you bought it from someone else ?
What to try:
- Shutdown the phone
- remove the SD card
- after that boot normaly into the OS
- then go to settings - applications and find the market / play store app
- Click on it, FORCE CLOSE if you can and clear the CACHE
- After that try to install any app.
Tell me whats happening after that all.

Airplayit isnt on the store.
Ive tried all of that, just wont install.
Its a brand new phone and i cant install a cystom rom, it wont root ive tried.

To manually install an app, you'll need root access. Try asking in the q&a forum for your specific device for help with that.
After you've gotten root access (however you do it), copy the .apk to /system/app (you can use a adb, a terminal emulator, or a third party file manager to do this)
Then, change the permissions on the file to so that owner, group, and users all have read and write (but not execute) permissions (that's 644 if you're using chmod)
Here's a link that explains how to manually install an app contained in taskmanager.apk
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/03/task-manager-for-cm-rom-on-gt-s5570.html
If you read the explanations (after the he steps you through the process) it's easy to apply this same process to any other .apk no matter where it's stored.

[Q] there is not enough storage

hey people this is a frequent problem while installing apps even you have lots of free space.
so if anyone knows a stable solution, please show the noobs (it is i here) the way. i tried to copy apk somewhere /system/ (maybe?) but that didnt work.

Go to your phone settings, and perform a factory reset that will do.

Use any Explorer( Solid Explorer recommended), go to /data search for that app(say facebook) related files and delete all files you find. Main file that is needed to be deleted is .odex file of that app.
for instance if whatsapp in not getting installed, then files like com.whatsapp.odex , com.whatsapp.apk and all other files related to whatsapp are needed to be deleted.
Install the app again then. It should get installed
If this doesnt solves the problem then you need to do factory reset.

I can confirm this after I've had this problem on both SGS2 and SGS4. The path is root/data/app, though, where you will find the .odex file of your and possibly other apps as the last entries.

Could someone please upload me the titanium apk?

I'm not sure if the last update broke my apk, but titanium has disappeared and I can't install it from play (unknown error -24). Could someone please upload me the FREE version? I have my pro key installed.
Installing apk will fail with error. I have had this before with TB.
Simple to fix:
(I'm assuming you're rooted, chances are you are if you get this error)
- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR DATA FOR THAT APP (You would have done anyway, if it was uninstalled properly) -*
1.) Using a root file manager, go to /data/data
2.) Find the package name of the app you're wanting to install
(Don't know the package name? Find the app you're wanting to install on the Play Store online and it's in the URL)
3.) Delete that folder. All of it.
4.) Try to install your app again, it should work now

Probably won't install if it won't work from the Play Store lol. Try installing via Terminal Emulator and see what error it gives?

Thanks Guys. Neither work. For some reason it thinks I am out of space.
I've dropped it in /system/app but it wont get root. will try priv-app next
Have you deleted the left overs from app-lib folder on /data? (Maybe it is not called app-lib but I am pretty sure it has "lib" in its name)
How much free space is left on your phone?
I'll assume it is enough to install one app.
I had this problem the other day. Do you have SD Maid / CCleaner / Clean Master installed? I just had to clean system+app cache and it was fine.
