Kongregate was removed from Google Market, but that does not prevent it from being distributed separately (On Android you can download apps directly from the web and install them, without using the app store).
- lukeschlather 16y agoUnless you're on AT&T. Suddenly I'm sensing a pattern...
- warfangle 16y agoThat's funky. I just downloaded an apk and installed it on my phone. On, uh, AT&T.
- lukeschlather 16y agoSo you're using a custom rom or you're rooted. I thought it was obvious I was referring to stock. You can also run whatever you want on an iPhone if you root.
- warfangle 16y agoStock 2.2. Not rooted. Settings > Applications > [checked] Unknown sources.
- lukeschlather 16y agoWhich phones allow this? I'm honestly curious, I thought AT&T had switched that off on all models. Is yours grandfathered in or are they releasing new models with unknown sources enabled?
- kylec 16y agoGiven his "Stock 2.2" comment, best guess would be the Nexus One with AT&T bands. Since it wasn't sold by AT&T, it doesn't have the APK installation locked down.
- jancona 16y agoI believe even the AT&T phones with Unknown Sources disabled allow sideloading with ADB. Not that that's a good option for most users.
- warfangle 16y agoCouldn't reply threaded. @jancona: I didn't sideload with ADB. I copied the .apk to my phone via USB and used a file manager to access my file system. Tapping on the apk installed it just fine. If AT&T disables sideloading with ADB, how do developers test their apps on AT&T's Android offering? @lukeschlather: I'm using a Nexus One; it may not be possible for phones customized specifically by AT&T. If this is the case, it's pretty f'n unfortunate.
