I bought Bejeweled 2 on my HTC Evo in the past several months. It’s something I’ve wanted to use on a larger touch screen device, like which I now have in the HTC EVO View tablet I got yesterday.<\/p>\n
In the Market on my new device there is no Bejeweled 2.<\/p>\n
On my computer Bejeweled 2 is not compatible with my new device, so they say, and it will not let me install to it there.<\/p>\n
So I tried again today, looked online for others with solutions or complaining and found very little about it at all.<\/p>\n
I did read something about people not having this or that anymore when it dissapears from the Market … and some people said to make sure to back up those .apk’s … one way is with Astro File Browser … which I have on my HTC EVO. So I went to that, looked at the backup function and clicked on the 2 things I wanted to have on my new device that I couldn’t get in the market on it.<\/p>\n
Bejeweled 2<\/p>\n
Yahoo Fantasy ’11 (Baseball)<\/p>\n
Backed them up. Connected my HTC EVO to the computer as a disk drive found the .apk files in the Backup folder, copied to my computer, then I attached those files to an email and sent them to myself (email I use on the new device, of course) … then on my new device I got the email, opened and downloaded each .apk file.<\/p>\n
Then I got Astro installed on my new device and navigated in that to the downloads folder and clicked on each file and that opened a pop up and I chose to Open App Manager and there I clicked Install.<\/p>\n
Yahoo Fantasy ’11 worked right away just fine (as far as I could tell)<\/p>\n
Bejeweled 2 didn’t work, had to download a bunch of files then hiccuped with an error telling me to go to … and that was a nothing to help message.<\/p>\n
So I thought, and then re-connected my HTC EVO and looked for the folder I knew was on the card, the one with tons of files and pictures and came with no .nomedia file so pollutes your gallery (so one knows about the files and where the nomedia file needs to be put to fix that…)<\/p>\n
I copied all of that stuff to my computer.<\/p>\n
Then I connected my new device to my computer as a Disk Drive. I copied those files to the same location on the new device, there was a folder there with a “needtodownload” file in it. I deleted the file and copied the old files right there.<\/p>\n
Disconnected and right there on my new device I touched Bejeweled 2 and … it opened and I played and when I was done my score went into a list of other high scores, scores I got on the HTC EVO before. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Wonderful! (note, you might have to check allowing installation of non-Market applications, if so, find that in “Settings:Applications: UNKNOWN SOURCES.<\/p>\n
HTC EVO VIEW or HTC FLYER …. same deal. Do it.<\/p>\n
I think the game played fine. Just the music wasn’t as “fluid” but not a problem at all, the game I played. (Which was only 1, ACTION, FWIW.)<\/p>\n
