so i downloaded an app (from a regional organization that couldn't care less about open source, leave alone russian stuff...) and got it w/ the Android FTP sserver into the Downloads directory. how does one install it?

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!
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..

Is there a way to install apk from terminal ( like pkcon for native apps ) ?

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.

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 :-}
