Can't install some .APK files


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Firstly, thanks to all developers and this website and contributers for getting me off the stock Orange and onto Swedish Spring.

Today I switched from Gen1 to Gen2 and installed the new Cyanogen (stable) and everything went fine and it actually seems to have speeded my phone up quite a bit.

I didn't install any optional Google stuff because I wanted to keep my phone fairly clean.

I'm trying to install 'FreeCaddiePro.222.website.apk', it tries to install then says 'application not installed'. I have set my phone to allow installations of non-Market applications and it was able to install Ask Mr Pigfish.

Can anyone help me with this please? Is there a non market program that can help with installing .APK files?

Thanks in advance

Pit

EDIT - I've reinstalled the Cyanogen and this time included G-apps and now can install all .apk files. Maybe I will have to back up all my apps and reinstall Cyanogen without the G-apps and restore backed up apps?

I basically don't want to be spied on by my apps.

Can you install it as a flashable zip in recovery like adding a theme?

Some apps rely on stock google app functionality, I guess it's that.

Like how you can't remove IE from windows, some programs rely on it.

If you're hurting for internal storage space, use a tool like Link2SD. Here's my storage info:

All linked apps appear to the OS as being "internal" meaning all widgets work, and you can link any app.

I haven't got a clue mate. I just followed the instructions without knowing how any of it works.

Cheers for that Roph, will have a look at that prog.

yer +1 for link2sd

means you can choose which apps stay on the proper internal storage and which go to sdcard partition. this is good as the phone memory is faster.
