The file i downloaded was .apk
But i just dont know what to do with it...
sorry, let me clearify... the file you download is called "com.isaacwaller.youtubedownloader.apk.jar"... this does no good on the phone to install so i decompressed it so now its "com.isaacwaller.youtubedownloader.apk"... yet this is a folder now and not a file.apk.... so putting it on the sd and using an app installer doesnt do much when its a folder with the name only saying .apk... i need a file.apk so i can use an app installer, right? or am i way off? Think maybe because i use a mac has anything to do with it??? or does it need to be a dev phone? my phone isnt "unlocked," and im running rc33
but to answer your question Rescue7 if you do have a the file "com.isaacwaller.youtubedownloader.apk" and not a folder like i have... all you need to do is put it onto your sd card, then run an app installer. if you use linda file manager it will give you an option... if not use the application installer that you can download via the market

Yeah I figured it out. I just plugged my phone into my laptop, put it in "Games and Applications." then used Discover Pro. But thanks anyways. ^^

Hmm well I'm using a PC. And I don't have a dev phone, or an unlocked phone. Just a regular G1. Well why dont u just give it a try? maybe it'll work??
JLO: you're either going to have to download it using firefox or use right click + save as in safari, otherwise osx think's a zip folder and tries to decompress it as it downloads, which results in the .jar file.
Here is your application
GO TO THIS WEBSITE AND IT IS THERE. AND TELL OTHER PEOPLE CAUSE I WANT TO SHARE THIS APP WITH OTHERS CAUSE IT IS THAT GOOD.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5415
IN ORDER TO PUT IT ON YOUR PHONE YOU WILL NEED TO USE APPMANAGER WHICH IS FREE FROM THE ANDROID MARKET.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5417
TRY IT OUT AND BE SURE TO SPREAD THE NEWS THAT IT IS FREE FOR DOWNLOAD AT THE FIRST LINK FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS THE PROGRAM.
solution
just go to keepvid.com from your phone to download youtube videos onto your phone from your phone.
simply just go to the video you want to download on the browser then hit menu then go to url the url is now highlighted on ur phone copy it by using (hold down menu button then press C on your keyboard) not the big menu button on the outside of the phone the button next to the Z key on the keyboard then paste the link to keepvid.com using (menu then V) for paste then download the mp4 walla use a video player to play the video u just got from youtube

I just thought I'd point out that you don't have to use firefox or save as.
Just delete the jar off the end of the filename. It does this when downloading themes also. So far, I haven't had any issues just deleting the .jar.

Pulled from Marketplace. The developer still offers it for download here:
http://www.siriusapplications.com/ytd/
Ooops... seems it isn't available for DL on the website either. It was a free app, so I can just post my backed up apk file in here when I get home tonight.

Love this app thank you so much!!!
Just about everyone I've talked to about a good way to explore a rooted phone recommends Root explorer. I was a little put off on that it was not a free application, but I did attempt to buy it, only to end in failure. I can only assume that since I am a United States system ,and the Root Explorer's price is registered in £'s, that there is an issue when purchasing applications with currency other than what is listed. So my question is this:
Is there an American equivalent to the Root Explorer, a way to get around the currency issue, or a free alternative?
there is a root option on ES File Explorer (free app). i have never used it tho, so i can't say if it works at all.
I like Astro File Manager, a free app in the Market. I like it.

astro is nice, but you can't view root system files.
I just SSH in, you can see everything I think.

You can try to use EStrongs File Explorer, there is a root user option in the prefs. I have not had success so far but feel free to give it a try should you feel comfortable with the risk.
It works, give it root access and the check the Mount image as.... and it works as a root explorer with all the functionality.
Just remember to also check the Show hidden files - option.

Thanks to You both I was able to use EStrongs File Explorer to load The Htc fm radio widget and app to my system/app folder. Adb is pretty unreliable for me on Win7 64 bit.

Rooted Evo on Sprint Lovers 3.7 1-10-11 update, Estrong's method worked for me. Need to enable Root in settings for Estrong and then choose the "Hiapk" option( CM was the only other option, and I wasn't on that, had no idea what hiapk was but went for it anyway!). Was able to easily copy my personalized widget.txt to the \system\customize folder, reboot, and the widgets that I wanted showed up right away.
Flawless.
try super manager in the market it works for me
ES explorer works very good. It has the option to explore as root but is disabled by default.
Enable the option in ES File Explorer and try it.
Super Manager

+1 - this worked for me perfectly and it's FREE.
ES Manager root access didn't work for my cappy - looked like it only worked for CyanogenMod and one other ROM....
i tried all of them, but non let me copy and paste to system folders!
how can i do it? tjs!

In ES Explorer you must set the option to mount the /system partition as writable first. Once done you can do anything there
take a look at androotfile on google code it does the trick for me
http://code.google.com/p/androotfile/updates/list
i would also like to "vote" for super manager.
can't say i like the layout of the file list but it just works.
there is a less popular free alternative called "yaffs explorer" which IMO has an AWESOME file list layout (no huge icons... very slender, great overview) but unfortunately keeps crashing on me. i've only used it for maybe two minutes total and it crashed twice already. and just randomly while i was e.g. changing folders too.
would be nice if others here could try it out and if it doesn't crash on your phone - good for you. but if it does, i hope we'd be able to put a little pressure on the developer to iron out those bugs because i'd LOVE to use this thing as my primary file manager. hell, if it would be stable i'd pay a couple of bucks for it.

Go to the market, and download estrong. Its a great and goodlooking apps, almost can handle everything you need

anyone know where I can download this app, i found it on the Androbin_R_ ROM.
Have you tried taking it from the ROM itself? Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Just checked market, there is one called Custom Car Home,... any good?
Apparently Froyo has it built in,... try extarcting it from a Froyo ROM aswel,... Worth trying enit?

Thanks for taking the time to reply...
it is, but I am just not technically able enough to take it from the ROM,, i would not know where to start.....
Download the Rom you want.
Extract it on pc.
Navigate to system/app/
Copy the apk you want to your sdcard. I think it could be called carhome.apk.
Having the apk on your SD.
Open it with e.g. Linda file manager.
If it works with this Rom it installs fine.
Another way is using adb.
But that doesn't differ in what you get.

What does it say when you try,... Give error details, someone might be able to help you,... I haven't had much luck in the past to be honest.
I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really)

Reggie 777, thanks for asking this question. I've been trying to figure out the same thing and asked about it in another thread but didn't get a clear answer.
So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.
Thanks

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.

when downloading .zip and .doc files, and there are probably others that I haven't encountered yet.
Some elementary googling has led me to either 'AndroZip' or 'Download All Files' however I can't dissuade myself from believing that a lower-level solution, such as a flashable zip or something along those lines, exists somewhere. Does it? If not, what's the best way for dealing with this?
Have you tried other browsers to download these files?

It is because the browser doesnt know what to do with the files. That is the reason I never use the stock browser. Like I said grab Astro from the market and you will be good to go.

There is nothing that you can do about it with the default browser. It is one of the probs with the basic browser, there are ways around it and they all come from diff browsers or getting a different file manager like astro or Root explorer. There is no update zip that will fix this without rewritting the browser apk.

I thought the issue was with file associations and not the browser; and that would make sense, considering I have nothing for handling .zips or .docs and I guess .apks were not meant to be installed this way. Astro automatically creates assocations for a lot of filetypes--did I understand wrong?
However, it doesn't seem as easy as I thought--no wonder since it hasn't been done already--as Android seems to have a funny way of handling associations...

Its is as easy as installing a file manager that will work. It has been a known issue for as long as I have had an android device. One of the reasons I paid for Root explorer.

Here's a Google engineer's take which says that Android doesn't know what extensions are. However, the linux kernel has a feature-set for this. I do seem to have the /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc directory, although it is empty; which of course means I fail this test for the support of this feature.
I'm in over my head technically so I think I'll stop right here.
