you can change the extension to zip and windows will see a regular zip

i extracted all files, added an apk to the apps folder

re-zipped

renamed to bar

Hopefully the apk will show!

It seemed to start rising before the leak, when it came out that they got the FIPS certification. Or it may simply reflect that the handheld sentiment is up today: Motorola is up over 15% and Nokia is up like 7%.

there is a menu button swipe and a back button swipe but is there also a home button swipe or a way to get to the start menu where it shows the apps

Swipe down from the top bezel and you will get a prompt at the bottom with "set home view". Click that and you can select something else like Installed Applications etc.

how about adding an .apk in the sys.android.bar.zip\native\system\app folder in the zip file and re-sideload the bar on the pb.

Edit: Just found out that offthahorseceo is already trying that.

isn't it a reaction to the economic news in europe? all markets are rising here at the moment....

[randymc2641]

I found manage applications, and it says "On SD card" as one of the options. Interesting

that's what I just tried, didn't work...or at least not for me

I think it's a bunch of things, including news from Europe. But Nokia reported decent earnings relative to what was expected, and Motorola got some buzz because big-shot investor Icahn has been urging it to divest some of its patents. But as is always the case with the market, who knows what's causing price changes...

i cant get it to show.

once i load it, how do i open it?

[randymc2641]

would Package installer be useful?

If it loaded correctly onto the PB, you should have an icon for Android Player in your All section.

i think i found a way to get apk. on, sideload it on go to settnig applications then select the application there....

[randymc2641]

Also an option under Settings/Applications to allow Unknown sources, might be useful for "non-market aplications"

doesnt work for me,when i click the apk ,i get a parsing package error

[randymc2641]

About phone screen

Battery use screen

[AutoPilot2020]

rsxsniper i dont have an apk file to test it with but if you sideload the app on the pb's harddrive, or even transfer it over to it, u can open the android player, then click settings>applications then if the app shows up on there in a list click on it and it may open it, this is just all guesses but its worth a shot

[ibrahimlaz]

Great Jobb CBBB!!!

Any solutions on how to sideload on Mac yet??

Curious to try out.....

[donjunto]

You got that right.

I am at work and I am sitting here wondering how I can download it before the link is killed. Then I am like "why don't I just download it to my Playbook?" This is why I get paid the big bucks.

I Downloaded it to my Thumb drive
