AndroidPIT App Center
...and this is how it works:
Download
The easiest way is to go to this website in your phoneʼs web browser and click on "Download now". Then, the download and installation process will start immediately on the phone. Of course you can also download the APK file to your computer and copy it to your phone from there. However, this is a bit cumbersome. If you do not know how this works, please look through our forums. |
Allow Unknown Sources
Before installing the AndroidPIT App Center, you have to allow downloads from "unknown sources" on your phone. This lets you install software that does not come directly from the Android Market. You?ll find this option on your phone under Settings/Applications and check "unknown sources" to activate it. ATTENTION: AndroidPIT is safe to install! Please install any other software only from trustworthy sources. |
Install
When the AndroidPIT App Center is downloaded, you will see a message in the notification bar at the top of the screen telling you that the AndroidPIT App Center is ready for installation. Touch this notification and the installation process will begin. Done! From now on, our reviews, blog posts, our forum and our new store are at your service! |
Tip for Professionals
If you have rooted your phone, we have a special feature for you:
If you have installed the APK as a system app, the App Center can install other apps directly - without having to invoke the package installer! This will save you a few clicks when installating other apps.
If you have installed the App Center already, uninstall it first. Then download the APK to your SD card (easiest using browser, it ends up in /sdcard/downloads) and copy it from there to the system directory (/system/app). Then the App Center will immediately appear in the launcher, and can be started.
Tip:
To write to the system partition, it must be mounted read-write. You do this with the following command:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Please check first (using the mount command) if your system partition is actually on mtdblock3. If not, adjust it accordingly.
