Love airdroid so ty alot devs.
I can't figure out how to open apps within the browser once I am connected to my phone with Airdroid.
I see the "apps" icon and I click it and can locate the apps I want to use but when I click on I only see options to download or install it, not to open it.
Thanks so much for the help

i dont know about most people, but i tend do download and try out a lot of apps from the maket just to compare and i was wondering if there is anyway for someone to remove apps quickly (e.g. iphone style). yes i know go get an iphone..etc etc, but i just want this one feature. i just find it hassle to go in to settings-->manage applications and wait for it to load and scroll down and find the app and click uninstall, especially when your downloading and trying a bunch of apps.

Just go into Market > Downloads, then click the one you want to uninstall.
app called quick uninstaller.
or linda file manager.
both group together installed apps amd allow easy uninstall.
Or I use android commander hook it up to the computer scroll down the list check mark which ones to remove and click delete.

long pressing any app in the Market > Downloads section will give you an uninstall option (last i remember) too
^Very true
ES File Explorer also has a nifty little uninstall feature. I use it alot, even lets you remove default apps.
Astro file manager from market.
wow thanks guys def did not know about all these..i feel like a n00b didnt even think about using market.
I am trying to use appbrain but it just seems to work like the droid store. it tells me about updates, just like teh droid store. Really can't see why anyone uses appbrain. What am i missing here?
You can install/uninstall apps from the app brain website

Well, that's not literally true. You can select to install or uninstall from that site, which is handy. But you still need to go in through market via Appbrain app on your device, and you still need to individually select the OK buttons, etc for each app installing and uninstalling.
Ideally you would select install or uninstall from the site, then on the phone go on with the client, review the list and click the X to stop the action if one is wrong, and then let her rip.

Actually, it is literally true. If you install Appbrain's Fast Web Installer, it will install whatever app you click install on momentarily on your phone without any interaction from you on your phone.
Thanks. I was hoping someone would debunk my comments.
Seems everything has more tips and tricks to need to know to "git 'er done".
Thanks for the tip about the fast web installer, nice.
And I like the way appbrain updates more than market, plus it can be easier to click install apps, and sync them later to install (easier now with the fast web installer)
download the appbrain app and then use it to sync with appbrain.com
now all your app info is available on the site and it wil track your updates and/or replace your apps. iT makes it easier than hunting on the app store
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install "Root Browser Lite" version 2.1 from the Google play store, but for some strangely odd reason, i am having a weird issue.
Everytime i try to install it, it says: Cannot install, Inefficient Storage available.
That would obviously mean that i dont have any space left in the Application partition of the internal memory, but to my suprise I do indeed have plenty.
I have over 100mb left. And i can install applications that are over 15mb without a problem, litterally right after trying to install Root Browser.
Its only a mere 1.3 mb download and cant be too much more extracted..
Ive uninstalled applications, cleared my cache, rebooted, among other things and still cant get this one application to install.
Maybe if i install the .apk from my sdcard i could install it properly..? So could someone who has this application be kind enough to share their .apk?
Or we could somehow try to figure this out. But like i said it hasnt been an issue with anything else at all..
Also, so you know and need not ask, ive tried nearly all other file explorers right now, and so far they have all been really lame in my opinion. Currently I like the MIUI port explorer, but im constantly getting force closes so I need a change. Root Browser is really nice and is a file explorer I plan to stick with. (If i can get it anyway...)
I have an older version, but I know he rebuilt the whole app in the recent update so I'd prefer v2.1
Hope some body can help me out.
Id really greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.
Have you tried pushing it through adb?
I have not. As I am not sure how..
Wouldnt I need the apk to do so?
Ohh yeah, you'll need the apk...
There was an extension for google chrome (pc) that allowed you to download apk's to comp from play store...
Just search around, I don't remember its name...
Omg I made a big mistake I meant Root Browser not root explorer... gosh that was dumb...

Does it make a difference?
They serve the same purpose
It does indeed make a difference. I think root explorer is absolutely horrible imo, but I am specifically looking for root browser.
Root browser = sleek and sexy with better functionality
Root explorer = clunky, ugly, dumb icon, fails with its functionality, not much preview thumbnail support, extraction support is a joke, and did I mention ugly?
Just saying id hate for someone to go through the trouble to get the one I absolutely don't want ya know?
Well, you can try file manager by rythm software, for a change...
I can pretty much believe you'll like it...
As regards for root browser, I don't use play store, so am not able to lay my hands on the latest version...
If I get it, I'll pass on the apk of the lite version...
Btw, have you found the chrome extension yet?

Thanks,
So I installed File Manager. I like it, its pretty nice. But I also managed to get Root Browser Installed as well finally, so I am happy about that. So I have kept both of them.
As for the chrome extension, no I didn't yet, because this is the first time I am seeing your post! I wonder how that happened! I was using the XDA Premium application on my phone to post in this thread with you, and for some reason that post didn't show up until I just not visited on my Computer... hmm. weird... But thats really cool, I will get to searching for that right now. I started using Firefox again, with the latest update, since I been using chrome for so long.. But now I am using both, so I will definitely check that out. Do you want to know the name of it when I find it?
And I noticed you mentioned you dont use the Google Play Store for your apps, So what do you use then?
I use other market alternatives like 1mobile market (only free apps here) and others...
I also google around for stuff...
If I still don't find it, I install play store, download apk, and then again remove play store...
Yes please, if you do find that chrome extension, send me along a link

Do you happen to still have the root browser 2.1.0 apk? I'd love a copy. (2.1.1 is giving me issues) Thanks.
ROM toolbox Pro
ROM toolbox pro has root browser and many other features. I can give you a copy of the .apk. I will upload it in this post.
I cannot for the life of me figure out where I am going wrong.
Youtube videos and all online tutorials and guides suggest it should be as simple as going to towelroot.com, clicking the lambda, getting a prompt to download the .apk, install it, let it run, let the phone reboot, and install SuperSU.
But for whatever reason, that doesn't work for me. If I click the lambda in Chrome, I get a prompt to choose what browser to open it in, and selecting Chrome just asks me again after it opens a new tab. It never downloads. If I choose to open it in firefox, FF will render in the browser as if it were a text file. Going back to Chrome, if I long-hold the icon and choose "Save Link", I can get a copy of tr.apk downloaded. Alright, so far so good. Let's just run it... right? WRONG. "Can not open file". My other .apk's like F-Droid opened absolutely fantastically fine.
OK, I'll work around this using a .apk installer. Go over to Google Play, grab "APK Installer" (1.4 mb or so one), run that, select the .apk file to install aaaannnnddd, I get to the usual screen showing what's asking to be installed and what permissions it wants. Yay! I've seen this page before! Aaannd... The Install button cannot be pressed. It cannot be pressed in landscape or portrait. Only cancel works.
I have not found anyone else with all my searching that has had the same difficulties as me. Hell, as the forum checked my title to find similar threads, there's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785869 which shows this guy managed to install towelroot just yesterday.
Anyone have any clue what to do to get a root without the troubles of wiping? This is absolutely tremendously frustrating.
Edit: I had to kill an app's process. I suspect it's Twilight that had to be killed - an app kinda like f.lux on Windows that overlays the screen with a warm tint to make nightviewing nicer. I ended up killing AdBlock, Youtube, Google Music, and a few others. I was then able to install the .apk using APK Installer from the Play store. And once I had root and superuser installed, I had to go into the superuser settings and disable the Tapjacking Protection (or alternatively kill Twilight - that's why I suspect it was a problem in the first place, as there's non-changeable tapjacking for apk installations) and I could finally grant programs superuser permissions.

Yep. Any screen overlay will interfere with the install button.
I know its crazy. I tried searching whole internet (Google I mean). But can't find it so ended here.
Wanted to know an app to open another app. I want to mask my whatsapp by different app. Actually I can only hide it from menu and home screen. Accessing it becomes pain after that. So for quick access. I want to mask it with another app. Note: I can hide it in vaults but it is pain to access quickly.
Thank you.
