How do I install FB and Pan .apk files?

[Digital_Dementia]

I dled the files but in Astro it doesn't give me the option to install? i didn't extract them before I put them in what am I doing wrong?

[gotta have that funk]

if you put the apk file in a folder on your sdcard then when you go to the folder and file in astro it lets you browse file or open app manager. open app manager and hit install. if it doesnt work you did something wrong.

Every time I try to install the file says Install failed >.< why is this? :[

First off let's clear somethings up. Are u simply trying to install the apps? If so facebook is already there and u can dl pandora from market. Now if u are trying to push the smoked glass versions, u need to be rooted and have terminal installed or use adb. Let me know what's going on and we'll go from there.

I installed both using adb: (adb shell or terminal emulator, and then)

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
busybox cp -R /sdcard/Pandora.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot

and

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
busybox cp -R /sdcard/Facebook.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot

credit and source for both are in this thread. Make sure the filenames (including capitalization) are correct, and that they are placed in the root of the sdcard and remaked to .apk files.

Good luck!

I'll try adb shell again it wasn't co-operating earlier.

I'm running adb shell in super user and busybox denied my permission?

Are you running beautiful beast? I had that same problem initially, and it went away when I reinstalled busybox. I wasn't sure if it was specific to me or general to the rom though.

(I couldn't find a working link to busybox so just used droidroothelper, but someone around here may have it.)

I beleive that rootyourdroid.info has it on their site I'll reinstall it.
