hi chemist, i mentioned the Android FTP server, didn't it? thus yes, i have installed the Andorid compatibility & am already running a couple Android apps which run ok. alas, this leaves us in "Maemo land" or at the fringe of it... 'til we get a user friendly way to flash the device :-\

EDIT: just read stskeeps' post ( http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1399188&postcount=40 ) this is getting us a lot closer or even beyond Maemo land :-}

Tap it in the downloads folder (Settings->System->Transfers) and be patient it does not tell much until it is installed (reading tap once and wait!).

I just guessed you have the android compatibility installed from Jolla-Store already!

thanks got it over via the N900's bluetooth... installed in a snap only to complain... "Get Google Play Services" is this part of the (dev mode) Google Play hack?

misterc ( 2014-02-19 02:59:35 +0200 )edit

Playstore on Jolla or Google Play Services on Sailfish

learn to read clearly mentioned the (dev mode) Google Play hack thus i'm aware of it and don't care to put my device in dev mode / breaking the warranty.

and what the command to install apk via terminal ? For example I saw the skipe updated on 1mobile store, Pressed to update, it downloaded but not installed.. Tried option to instal via 1mobile, but nothing happens.. Found the file downliaded to /data/app but also install option from Filetug app didn't do notging. One way to update is removing app and installing new vrrsion from the store..

did you install "File Browser" from (Jolla) Store? after taping on an apk file you can install it by pulling down

please rephrase this - it sounds like "go delete all files but hidden ones, including your system files"

chemist ( 2014-02-19 21:33:19 +0200 )edit

naaa, don't need a file manager for that, now, do we?!? rm -R does a much better job - well, still need a couple flags to make it really horrendous...

https://together.jolla.com/question/61240/install-of-apk-packages-fails-with-fresh-installed-android-runtime/ describes "local apk installation problems", too. And @Rin Kaenbyou commented, that installing "Aptoide Appstore" helps in some cases. Have a look there, too.
