suitable driver. (Same adventure you had with the Cricket.)
Sometimes the official driver contains everything, sometimes, you need
a separate development driver, and sometimes you can find a tiny adb-
only installer on the internet that leaves out all the OEM cruft. I
dunno what Samsung provides, you'll need to look around.
I dunno if that site is legit, it may be fine, or it may sneak trojans
into the apk files.
The usual way to install outside apk files is:
- Go to Settings -> Applications, and turn on "Unknown sources".
Then download the file to your PC, and "adb install <file>" to push it
to the phone. Alternatively, you can do this entirely on the phone:
- Install a file browser of some sort. Many phones come with one, or
you can install ES Explorer (very popular app) or FX Explorer (written
locally).
- Download or copy the file to the phone.
- Open the file browser, browse to the file, and open it, and
Android will ask to install it.

No.
Take out the SD card and insert into Windows. Put .apk on it. Put SD
card back into phone. Use file manager app to find it and install it.

this worked. i can now see my app on the note!
also, when i powered on the cricket, he wanted to run a setup. he
installed a driver. adb devices still says nothing, but i was able to
put my app on the cricket also.
thanks
