There are two ways to install third party applications on your Android based phones:
The first way is by installing applications through the online Google Android Market, which you should be familiar with already.
The second way is to manually download and install so-called APK packages on your Android phone.
Hi, I can able to install any third party application via adb command, via webserver, but if i locally copy to memory card, then i cannot. I did also install the file browser(Android file browser). but ending up with following error message : "The application Android file browser(process org.anddev.android.filebrowser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Any idea ?
