    If you ever end up on an Android system without file manager and Wi-Fi capability, but with command line access and you need to install an .apk, copy it over to the SD card using USB and run the following commands: cd /sdcard; pm install name_of_package.apk (Who is this even useful for, other than me? Maybe !coderponies?)

      @omni If it's only useful to one person, it's still useful.

      @omni That may be useful for me later.

      @omni If you have USB access, couldn't you also run `adb install <apk-filename>` from the computer? (This does require the platform-tools portion of the SDK, though.)

        @bitshift I guess that would be possible, but I also managed to break my adb :P

          @omni Ah, makes sense. Either way, I didn't know you could do it from on the device (or at least not from the terminal - I knew there had to be a way from within Java, or else file managers couldn't do it), so this is something that may yet come in handy for me. :)
