you can only transfer files but not install the app.
installing the app still needs you phone os.

Do you have a file manager such as FExplorer or SeleQ on your phone?
IF you do, then it's very easy. Just insert your mmc card into the reader, and copy the installation file(s) to any folder you want on the mmc card (I usually copy them to the "other" folder, for sheer simplicity.) When the file(s) are on your mmc card, then use your file manager to browse to the file and launch it. The file will be installed on your phone./ Once it is installed, don't forget to delete the installation file (or it will be using up memory aswell).

If you don't have a file manager installed, then download a file called "AppInst60.app" Using your mmc card reader, place this file in the "system" > "apps" folder. Then create a folder in the root directory called "Pre-Loaded" and a sub folder called "SYMBIAN". I'm not sure if case is important, and leave out the "".

Place the file manager program installation file in the "SYMBIAN" directory. When you turn on your phone, the installation should automatically start. IF not, there may be something you have to activate in the menu.

I have been informed this works, but have never needed to try it. Some of gotten it to work, some havn't.

Mr.anu01,

johnyspliff told you evryhting that you need to install your apps.



P.S. - honestly I prefer the CardReaders that are with 6 slots, for different types of cards.
