Ok so I've tried to download and install a few 3rd party apps and I can't get them to work. I have the allow 3rd party programs box checked. I can download them but they won't launch and install. The only one I was able to try and install is the itunes remote program but it fails at the end. Any ideas?
I have downloaded several and they all work, try to uninstall then reinstall again is all I can recommend man.
I'm having the same problem, and I'm actually kind of worried that it might be because of changes in the system between when the emulator was released and the phone was released. I can't imagine that would be the case, but you never know.
I'm having the same problem cannot load any third-party apps even though I have the box checked. Hopefully the OTA update will correct. I've tried re-downloading several times. I click on the .apk file and it does nothing. If I hold my finger down on the file until the menu pops up and I select open, nothing happens either.

I think most of the freeware apps out there are for an older SDK and so they won't work until the developer updates them for V1.0
The only site im currentry using is slideme.org. They have some aps for version 1.0. Also u download their Application SAM so u can find and install directly from ur G1. and its free.
I was able to get gEZTIP to install the other day, it is a tip calculator. Had to allow 3rd party apps but it installed right away.
Opera would be soo freaking cool!
Android SDK version
A lot of 3rd party apps were developed using an OLD version of the SDK (beta versions).
The G1/Dream runs the final version 1.0 RC19. If the app you are trying to install is not programmed using said android version, it will NOT install.
Only way to install those apps is to download the source code to the apps and update it to use the new SDK instead of the old one (not for non-programmers).
I have already done so with the file browser and got it to work on the G1. However, some functionality has been removed from the SDK in version 1.0 because of security reasons and a lot of apps that were developed using Beta SDK's will NOT be able to be upgraded to 1.0 SDK.

This IS THE REASON indeed why they apps are not running on G1! I can confirm this. In our directory of free Android apps most of submitted software is 4-8 months old and thus compiled with OLD and even OLDER SDKs (yes, there were few iterations and the compatibility has been broken several times).
We are now going through all apps in the directory and recompiling it with SDK 1.0. I'll report back here when we are done.

Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.

I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.
Since I've been receiving a lot of private messages on how to install the Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Tablet apps on non-supported devices, I decided to create this thread that guides you through every single step.
This how-to is meant for people who can't download these apps via the Google Play Store due to device/county restrictions. It's only showing you how to sideload these apps and get them to run on other screen-sized smartphones. The other minimum requirements might still be essential for these apps to run properly.
Official Minimum Requirements:
These apps work best on Android devices having 1GB+ RAM and running KitKat (4.4.x) or later versions.

If you run into problems that aren't directly connected to your device but concerning the apps themselves, please post those into the Microsoft Office for Android Community.
You might want to try to install the apps via the Google Play Store first:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint
To become a beta tester, please follow the steps on the About page of this Microsoft Office for Android Beta Community.
If you aren't able to Install the apps via the Google Play Store, follow this guide:
Download the apk and OBB files.

Is the MD5 checksum correct?
You only changed the PowerPoint folder name, right?
Are the files in the right location? Each file needs to be in exactly one folder in data/media/obb
(See the screenshot I attached)
Did the files actually get copied there? Did you grant the file explorer superuser access to copy all files?
your the best, that did the trick. I was copying it over the wrong way. THANK YOU

That usually means that the downloaded package is corrupted or not fully downloaded. If you download it again, it should work.

What country are you located in? I honestly don't think they restrict the access via your IP rather than the play store, but who knows. Maybe using a tunnel to sign in?

you can't install apps that have been signed by a different developer, and replace with the current one. metaphor, you have a girlfriend, but your trying to get another girl who looks, and smells like your current girl, but her name is different. Since your in a beta OS, you can definitely expect bugs.
have you tried Factory data reset? there may be residual files from previous OS.

It's a vice versa situation. If your secure boot is on then disable it else vice versa. And reboot your phone and then install the app. It will surely install. Its not like you've a girlfriend situation?

I use ESFile Explorer to copy the new APK into the folder where the old APK is located - firstly delete the old app then replace with the new app (ensure the same name is used). Some apps are hard to find so I use BKDisabler to find the exact path of the APK I want to replace.
It worked for me as I replace the Device Maintenance App on my S8+ with a newer version off APKMirror
If still having issues, the method below may work too:
TAKE A BACKUP FIRST IN CASE IT GOES TITSUP
Download AromaFM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108&page=2 ((its a file manager that doesnt install on the phone, just runs in recovery)
Download the APK to are trying to update and put it either on an sd card or in the download folder on your phone: You will need to know where the current APK is located on your phone (usually apps are located in /data/app or /system/priv-app/ or system/app/ before going to the next step...... so for this example the APK is located in /system/priv-app/camera)
Reboot into TWRP Recovery
Install AromaFM
Go to your downloaded APK and either cut or copy it
Then navigate to the /system/priv-app/camera folder and delete the old APK then paste the new APK
Reboot
Now you should have the updated APK installed
Guys, what are you trying to solve here, he didn't even state which apk he is trying to install....
So, this is my first time rooting a phone, and once I managed to get it to work, I started playing around to see what capabilities I had now.
In doing this, I uninstalled the play store. I've tried multiple methods to reinstall it, but none have worked so far.
I've tried installing a new play store apk and used systemize to turn it into a system app, but that didn't work (the app crashed on launch)
I've also tried using link2sd but the app wouldn't let me convert to system app.
If anyone else has any tips for me I'd be grateful.

Copy it from another device using ApkExport then transfer the installable copy over to the victim device and install.
I haven't tried it with Playstore but it works on other apks even if the donor device is on a different Android OS version.

sadly the only other device i have is a samsung galaxy S2 that is barely functional. I doubt that'll work.
Before you do anything I'd make sure you have a good backup of your device. Copy text messages, contacts, photos, etc all to external storage.
My first thought was just download install APK, but I see you've done that.
Someone else may have a better suggestion, but, if nothing else works, I'd try installing pico GApps to restore Playstore functionality.

Yeah it's a system app on my Note 10+, can't be uninstalled*.
Normally it doesn't crash although it's common for it to not connect to Playstore. It does that if Google play Services is disable but even then it doesn't crash.
* I think, it has a disable option but to find out if there's an uninstall I would need to revert to the factory load first... which isn't something I want. It appears to be as I originally stated.

there is no uninstall option. I uninstalled it through other means as my phone is rooted. Now I'm having issues re-installing it and getting it to work.
My last 2 cents here:
Per definition only apps that are needed by Android OS to work are called system apps and are stored in /system/apps. Other apps - called 3rd-party apps like Google Play Store - may be stored in /system/priv-apps.
BTW:
If you manually install Google Play Store APK then it installs to /data/app directory - as expected.
