How to instal non-market apps??

I have the AT&T Galaxy Tab SGH-I987 rooted but I still can't figure out how to install non market apps. I've looked all over youtube, google and even here. Can anyone help me? I know it's more simple than what I'm making it out to be...

just download the apk (or download from PC and put in the sdcard).
Then use a file explorer like root explorer or ES File Explorer and click on it.

Also remember to check Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources. You probably did, but no harm in making sure.

The AT&T version does not have this setting... Apparently they blocked it. When I try to install from SD card it will not allow... Is there anyway around this without rooting?

Use installer apps like File browsers, Back up and restore apps etc..

Install TenderloinParts.apk on OaT's 07/29 Rom

I browse to where I downloaded the file from ES Explorer and click on the app, but I get that install failed? Any help? I like to use a stylus frequently, and with this latest ROM it is missing the input very frequently. I read that this app installed a setting or a switcher app to select between touch and stylus/

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.

System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

you can install your APK files (like the Play Store) by going to the Amazon Market first and downloading a File Explorer App such as ES File Explorer or any type of File Manager app, locating the APK through that program, and then clicking on it to install

[Q] AT&T Smart Wi-Fi reappear after reboot

Hello,
I have stock jelly bean 4.1.1 installed with root. I tried to uninstall the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi app in the app setting, but it reappears after every reboot. Can't uninstall this in Titanium backup or other root uninstallers since this app is not listed there. Anyone know how to get rid of this permanently?
Thanks!

download root explorer, navigate to /system/app and find that apk, delete it and reboot... if you cannot find that apk in that location, try srearching in /system/vendor/app or in /data/app.. make sure that apk is nowhere in these locations... even if it found in multiple places, delete all occurances..

Great thanks Aingaran! I used ES explorer, mount the /system as read and write, delete the /system/vendor/app/SmartWifi.apk, now it is completely gone

Root Explorer not working!

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 4.1.1 (Official) and encountered a problem with my lock screen and power button not working, so after I did my research, I found that I needed to add 'ON' to the 'keystr' file in the IMEI folder or some other folder which obviously needed root explorer. I installed it and Found it giving me a blank black screen. I tried re-installing android 4.1.1 again but still it is of no use.
I attached a screenshot of the screen when I open the app. I don't seem to understand the problem, with the root/flash or the app.
Hope someone replies fast!

To go to that folder you will need root access..

Application doesn't open. Check the screenshot.

Hello. You might want to try using ES File explorer instead. It comes with Root explorer and much user friendly. To give root explorer access all you need to do is:
1. Open ES file explorer. press menu button. find "Tools" menu and press to expand.
2. Scroll down to find "Root Explorer" and press to activate, then it will prompt you to give access. grant it and voila.

Hey! Thanks for replying soon. I followed what you said and still it gives me the same blank black screen even after giving it root access. Do you think there ia a problem in the way I flashed/rooted my phone?

Is this only happening with root files or other files too? Can you view the contents of internal storage using any of the file managers?

Hey. This problem occurs only with root explorer. I am able to view the contents of internal storage with some other app called 'root browser'

Strange.. After giving it root access a screen was supposed to appears with the following menus:
Root Explorer
One key install
One key uninstall
Backup app and data
Uninstall system app
startup manager
Mount R/W
Stop Permission.
What were you trying to do exactly?

As I said, I was searching for a file called 'keystr' because my lock and home button wa not working. And the menu did appear. I un-installed the file and re installed It. Still it doesn't work.

first check if you have root access using root checker.. then enable USB debugging and connect to pc and use shell and su command (should ask for superuser on phpne) and then
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync

It's working in my phone.
