I just installed Cm 7 alpha 3 and I am trying to install the latest Skype but it fails when I just run the . apk and when I go into cwm I do not have the install. Apk?
Anyone know how I can install this..?

you dont install apks in cwm, you do it in android.
go to settings-> applications, and check the unknown sources box
then go to the file manager built into android, navigate to the apk, and then click on it. you will be prompted to install the app.
hit install and it will be installed.

Cheers, I will try that tomorrow.

"File Manager" is not built in to the version Sony Ericsson uses. Glad to see it on the TouchPad though. Let me ask: Is there a "notepad" or "notes" app that is supposed to be built in? SE didn't include one of those either.

If you're looking for an amazing file explorer replacement ES File Explorer is AMAZING! It looks great, has gesture support and even skins/themes.

I've actually used it before and I do agree: It's good. I was just curious about the "built in" statement because, to my knowledge, there is no standard one "built in" to Android and it can be a problem.

CM7 has one built it but a pure AOSP build like the SDK doesn't IIRC.

Download one from Play Store. ES should get you started.

I use file manager hd, from rhythm software, available free in the play store. Use the version for tablets, it works great.

Well what Rom have you Flashed? The more information you provide the easier it is to provide an answer, as the gapps will vary depending on your Rom.

I need Switch Pro widget but I can't find it on Market. I know it's paid, and went to app brain but can't buy/install it for some reason.
Also, what's the best widge/app for calendar and events?
you need to get marketenabler to be able to purchase apps if your not in the US / other market supported country.
Myself i use the default calendar widget, its good enuff.
I use Pure Calendar widget.

The file you are downloading from their Google project site is actually a html file. Open this link with your browser http://uploaded.to/file/en3pg4 and download the file. Then install it on your device.
Or you can download it on your computer and install it via adb.
I really like "Android Agenda Widget". http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.roflharrison.agenda

[Q][Solved]Why are alot of apps not showing in the market?[Solved]

Hello,
Ever since I updated to CM7. I've run into the problem that certain apps aren't visible in the market on my phone. they are present on the online market but I'm unable to install them.
Does anyone else have the same problem ? and has anyone found a solution?
(Personally I'm running Wgspoelstra's v2.9 (based on nightly .29))
Problem is solved!
solution is posted on page 2 by NL_B!
I can't find Vendetta online in the market either, and i'm running stock (rooted)
hmm I had no such problems on stock just on 2.3.4 CM7
That's because the app isn't compatible with your device (in theory).
But most of the time, that's not true. Just search the apk using other ways and install it with your favourite file manager.
Vendetta is only for tabs btw

Check your "Market" parameters
Maybe you have enabled "content filtering" by mistake as I did once causing a lot of apps not to be displayed...

What you need to do is install google apps one more time. http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/. Use the 20110307 Universal, download it and install it from recovery like how you install the CM7.
I'm familiar with this problem. WG forget to include some components from the google apps.

Thanks,
I gave it a try, at first I thought It hadnt worked so i rebooted the phone and read the site and it said it would work after the 2nd or 3rd market 'start' and it actually did! awsome
Hi eniux, actually the best way to reset the market (in case it won't download, happened to me couple of times) is to clear the market data.
Go to settings, applications, click on market, clear data.
If you enter the market it will ask you to agree with terms, condition, etc. After this everything will work as it should.

Aptoide stuck on google package installer

I can download and search for the apps fine but once it's actually installing, the package installer is stuck.
Download and install a previous version of Aptoide. The same problem you describe, appeared on me with the latest version of Aptoide.
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted for it to work right?

For Aptoide, not. You must however, enable the "unknown packages" option in the Settings\Security panel.
i have the same problem
this problem is caused by aptoide , in the new versione the file downloaded havent .apk extension and the installer doesn't work
if rename the file EXAMPLE in EXAMPLE.apk the installer works correctly but u have to do this with all the application downloaded :/
i want to try to modify to rename the file with extension
Is there an app that's similar or better than aptoide?

Aptoide is the best cydia-like app we have in Android. That's the end of it. If anyone else is experiencing installation problems with the latest versions of Aptoide, all he has to do is simply install an older version of Aptoide. It may be simpler in looks, but, most importantly, it WORKS!

Ligux and Google market "This item is not compatible"

I am currently using LiGUX + N.O.P.E. Kernel V2.6.
I found one problem and maybe someone can help me.
I cannot install an application from Google market.
There is a cross mark and message "This item is not compatible with your device".
But earlier when I used CyanogenMod10 BUILD #3 + N.O.P.E. Kernel V2.6. or at begin with stock ROM I have nothing problem use this application.
If I am using Market helper to hide my device, then I can install this application, but cannot run. In this case is error something like "missing library".
Any suggestion or idea what to do?

Open up settings, click on applications and select play store...
Scroll down until you find clear data and cache...clear them...
They will remove all the settings, account logged in the play store. Hence you can open it fresh.
Check if it works...

You Can try Warriors Method but here is a explanation!
The Gplay Store Reads the build prop file so if there is modifications to it that the app doesn't support Google play will say NO!
I would try editing the build.prop file

This is caused by missing dependencies. Check the thread for Codename Lungo, I explain the steps to get it fixed. It'll be useful if you can tell which app is giving you trouble.

I see, it uses location-aware dependencies. First make sure you have Google Maps and Google Search installed. Then try deleting the cache of Play Store, reboot and try again. If it's still not working then try the steps in the Codename Lungo thread.

Yes. That should fix it. I need to edit that post because it's missing a few steps:
A) You need to have Google Maps and Google Search installed.
B) After you extract the file to the Permissions folder, assign same r/w permissions.
3) After you complete the steps, clear Play Store cache and then reboot.

BlackBerry Mod

THIS IS FOR ANDROID 6.0+ ONLY!!!
This is mod I use on my LG V10.
Package was originally created as an add-on for Eliminater74's Rom.
I just ported it over as a flashable zip for my use but I figured I'd share.
Put zip on your external sd card and flash from twrp.
You will get a few "BlackBerry services not working " in the beginning but they will soon go away after some usage. These apps were on the BlackBerry Priv and are pretty useful especially the Hub. If there are some apps you don't like, just uninstall or freeze with titanium backup.
There is a launcher, contacts, calendar, bbhub, password keeper..... just a bunch of stuff.
Enjoy

Do you use titanium backup? If so, under preferences you can use market doctor to attach app links to play store and that should help. But, j700h is outside the U.S.? That might be the issue but I can't say for sure. Try market doctor and let me know please.

Yes, installed the Blackberry Manager by Colbalt and it lets you install all the apps.
I prefer however downloading the folders from Colbalt (just check one of the previous posts on the thread) and install the apps I like (blackberry hub, calendar and keyboard) -the rest are just average (contacts on MM is way better than that of BB)
