Rockplayer ZIP file / How do I install?

billyman · #1 (**permalink**) 08-31-2010, 12:20 PM

So I have been reading all this great info on Rockplayer, so I decide to install it. It's not available in the A/M, so I go to their website (www.anplayer.com) and download the ARMV7 1.0.31 version which lists the EVO among the supported devices. But after I download the file I notice it's in a ZIP file. Being new to the EVO and android, all I have ever seen are APK files for install. I looked inside the ZIP file, but don't see an apk file. I looked & looked for the answer to this question. I only found one other post referring to this question, but no one answered that person's question. Please help.

Thank you very much.

The link for download on the right side of the page does go to an apk.
I have attached here to make life easy.
Just make sure you have the checkmark to allow non market apps to install.

Copy to your sd card
then use a file browser to launch the apk.

edit: oops looks like it did not finish uploading before i finished the post...see below.

Aaron, thanks a million. I don't understand this though. When I download it, it's downloading a zip file. In fact, I'm going to upload it later as proof. But thank you for posting the apk file.

I stand corrected. Came home, went to their site and downloaded the APK w/ out issue. I swear I d/l'd twice at work and both times it was a ZIP file. Maybe my computer at work was changing it for some reason. Oh well, got it now and I'm grateful. Thanks again Aaron.
