Installing APK files to your g1 mobile using Windows Vista
After an intense search on how to install apk files through Vista, I
have finally found a way to install APK files. I'm not a computer guru
and don't know diddly-squat about programming so if there is a better
and faster way to install apk files through your desktop, please
revise:
1) Disconnect your G1 mobile from your computer
2) Create a folder in your Documents folder for both files you will
need to download
3) Download Google Android SDk for Windows
http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html
and save to the folder you created.
4) Download the USB Driver http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
and save to the folder you created.
5) Unzip both files into the folder and install the android program.
6) Open the "Androids-sdk-windows" that was unpacked, open the "tools"
folder, and on your windows explorer, first left click on the address
then right click and copy the full address.
7) Click on "start" menu, right click on "Computer", click on
"Properties". Click on "Advanced system settings"
8) On the "Advanced" tab, click on "Environmental Variables...". Under
"user variable..." click "New".
9) For variable name type: sdk_root
10) For variable value: just right click and paste. click ok
11) On your G1, go to "settings", "applications", and check "unknown
sources"
11) Connect your G1 mobile and update your usb driver with the file
you downloaded in step 4. If your usb driver will not update, use your
device manager ("start" menu, right click "computer", click on
"properties", "device manager") to update driver.
12) Be sure to mount your phone.
13) Move your .apk files to the "tools" folder you located in step 6
14) On the tools folder, mouse over a blank spot, hit "shift+right
click" and click "Open command Windows here".
15) On the command screen, type: adb install filename.apk
Enjoy.
