What still isn't clear to me, command prompt install works on any device or only if it is rooted?

.:SUBRATA:. · 08-17-2010, 07:04

@ huzsolt

any device.

huzsolt · 08-17-2010, 17:07

Confirmed, just installed Sygic drive on a Samsung i9000, without the need of making gmail account to download a file manager from the Market.

This thing speeds up installing greatly

@ huzsolt

If possible share some screen-shot from your hand

Greatly appreciated.

The first error (INSUFFICIENT STORAGE) was given because the Totemo application was already installed, but it a good example of what happens during installing...

oH BROTHER I WENT TO APLICATION AND I CANT FIND Android Market WHY IS THAT AND HOW TO GET IT PLEASE ADVICE ME THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

huzsolt · 08-19-2010, 11:01

@hussainzak

What phone / OS version do you have?

huzsolt · 08-19-2010, 18:25

Some custom build roms (like new Cyanogen roms) does not contain google apps becouse of some legal copyright issues, you have to install it separately, it is a piece of cake if you have a rooted device...

huzsolt · 08-19-2010, 19:48

For me the easy way to install aps is via SD Memory Card - just place *.apk file on the card , go to market and download Apps Installer , wait until appear in application screen and start it. Apps Installer will retrieve info about installation files on the sd card and you are ready for instalation

eyestrain · 08-22-2010, 23:19

what if you upgraded the phone to the other firmware like for example the arabic firmware for i9000...

it doesnt support android market and you will notice its not there....
so do you think rooting the i9000 is the other alternative way to do it?

eyestrain · 08-23-2010, 12:06

i will answer my question...
YES!

i rooted succesfully my i9000 now i have market on it...
superuser icon also added...

thanks
