You'll need the Android SDK (guide to download and install is here)
You'll need the USB drivers (Stickied post in this forum)
You'll need root access (look for the Captivate Root thread by chaoscentral)
You'll need Busybox (available on the market after you root the phone)

Command prompt
cd to SDK install directory
cd tools

su

I just checked tonight, and the Aria is mysteriously missing from the HTC site. Are there plans to stop production? It's still available on the AT&T site.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my captivate, but have been lurking these forums for a while. After going through the screenshots thread I really like the HTC like clock widgets, but most of the ones posted I cannot find, or my captivate wont let me install them since they are not from the market. Are there any good ones in the market? and if not, what's an easy way to sideload? (I'm currently using retro clock in the meantime)
View 11 Replies View RelatedSideloading of apk's does not work anymore. I did not install any new app or module. Unknown sources is checked of course.
But when I try to install an APK clicking on Install does not respond and no message appears. I rebooted more times, cleared all caches, etc. to no avail.
sideloading apks to multiple android devices at once (like, 8 or 9 of em). Searched around the forums a bit and couldn't find anything directly relating to this issue, so I figured I'd ask. I dunno if this belongs more in App development, but its an Android specific issue so...
At present I'm using Test Flight App (I'd post the URL but I'm too much of a noob here) to manage builds and releases. Its really great for getting beta builds out to the studio team, and to various beta testers and potential partners.
1) Actually downloading the apks is a manual process per device. So if you've a small QA team (or are working solo) it takes alot of time to get the newest build onto everything.
2) Each build has to be uploaded via the Test Flight website, then distributed to users on a build by build basis. This is a difficult to automate process, so makes having any kind of continuous integration system for nightlies etc. difficult at best.
I've been looking into possibly doing something like installing a Dropbox on each device and automating CI builds to a dedicated folder, which is shared via Dropbox to everything, but its a bit of work up front to get it working and I may still have to actually manually install the things each time.
When i d/l an app from AppPlanet it won't let me install the app because i don't have Non-Market enabled. I searched around and found there is an option in the Applications settings but i don't see that option on my rooted phone
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat's the quickest way to enable sideloading within the phone? (the proper way without using the Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine 1.0). Certain apps seem to want the actual phone to be sideloading-enabled like titanium backup and juicedefender.
I already rooted my machine using one lag fix which worked great. The simplest way to enable sideloading seems to be with "root explorer".

Query: Can GPS enabled apps, work on the phone, without cell serivce. IE can you pre-load say all the US map and POI info into the phone so it can be used as a standalone GPS in the middle of no where.

What problems do you expect people to be having with the Aria because of this outdated processor and low resolution?
Does anyone know of a way to toggle on/off 3G? There is no 3G in my area quite yet (hoorah for living in the sticks).
Since there is no need for me to have the phone searching for 3G if it's not available. I tried to switch it off, however I can't find the setting. Has it been removed from the Aria?
I've gotten Curvefish's 2G/3G toggle widget, but no luck for me.
