Orange SF and installing Apps...

[Guest webskipper]

Hi all,

I want to install a custom ROM on my Orange San Francisco and as a first step I have to install Astro File Manager:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/astro-file-man...om.metago.astro

My question: how can I install it ? I didn't see a way to copy it directly to my sd card. Orange App Market doesn't work (unlocked, using o2 provider in germany)

and I didn't see any other App Market Application on the phone.

Thank you for help !

download it in the pc

mount your sd card

(see the option in status bar)

copy the file in your sd card

and install the app from the sdcard

Sure, but do you see a direct link to the app file (on the appbrain.com website) ?

Thank you !

I see there is a "Android Market" App installed, with my google account it worked too.

Hmm, now I have the problem that I can't see the files with Astro.

I copied the files to the USB Drive Ubuntu mounted. Content:

AlexApps

Android

DCIM

LOST.DIR

z7logs

But I can't find the files on the phone ? /sdcard is empty in Astro...

Hmm, really strange... I unmounted the device, pluged-in the usb cable again and now I can see the files.
