How to Install Applications

To install applications using Android Market perform the following steps:

• Open the Android Market application in the Applications menu.
• You can select any option - Applications, Games, Search or My Downloads based on what you want to do. You will then get a list of applications or games to choose from.
• You can also search for any particular application. You will then get a list of apps with their description and rating.
• Click on the application you want and you will get more details of that application - the number of downloads and user comments.
• To install it, just click on the Install button on the bottom of the screen.
• In the next screen, it will give you more details about the application including the different functionalities it will need to access. Just click on OK to finish installing the application.

Using the Android SDK

There is one more method that can be used, you can install APK files into your phone using the Android SDK. Download the Android SDK.
First of all, install the Android SDK on your computer. You will also need to install the Android USB drivers to connect the SDK to your phone via USB. You can download it from here - USB Driver for Windows | Android Developers .

To install applications from other sources, you also need go to Settings -> Application Settings and enable Unknown Sources. Also go to Settings -> SD Card and Phone Storage -> Disable Use for USB Storage. You can enable it again later.

Next, just open Command Prompt and type: adb install path/file.apk
where path is the full path to the APK file and file is the name of the APK application file. Your application is now installed. This is all you need to do, now just open the application on your phone and use it.

Using the Application

You can rate and even leave a comment on the Android Market about the application.
To access the application, just go to your Menu and select the application you want to launch.
To check a list of all the applications you have downloaded, open up Android Market again and select the My Downloads option.

just a little addon :

Copy adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll to \windows\system32 directory than you can run adb commands from any command promt window

(thanx xda ;) )

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

@ huzsolt

any device.

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...

Android Market
 

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

@hussainzak

What phone / OS version do you have?

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...

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

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?

i will answer my question...
YES!

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


thanks

any simple process subrata?

like pc suite

well its easy and simple as ABC process

just read it carefully and you will get it
