Hello guys I don't know if this is the right place or so but yeah move it as you want

I'm having a problem about apk's when i download them and rename them to apk they still shows up as txt doc and there is no install option in the menu and when i open appmanager with Astro it doesn't show anything. this mostly happens when i download from rapidshare. why ?

Thanks in advance.

are you downloading .rar's and renaming them to apk? if so this wont work, you need to open the rar archive with WinRar on a pc, and there should be an apk in there. then use an app installer (search market) to find and install the apk's.

actually sometimes its apk i am downloading but it still opens as txt doc

Same Problem here. I did download the weight loss trainer (ad.app for cardio trainer) from the forum here. The file is an Apk but in Astro not shown as an app. Can't install it.

Any suggestions / tips ?

Thx

instead of using astro, install app installer from the market, and use that to install apk's
