If you're starting with a stock ROM and need to move files around, you're going to be out of luck until you can install a file manager. The Play doesn't come with one by default, and now the Market Store no longer automatically updates to the Google Play Store. To get around this, you'll have to sideload a file manager app.
- First, you'll need to install Xperia:ADB.
- Download the ES File Manager APK.
- Open a command prompt with admin privileges.
- Use the cd command to browse to the location of ADB (ex:
cd "c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools") if you haven't added it to your Windows PATH. - Turn on USB debugging and unknown sources on your phone.
- Connect your phone via USB.
- Run
adb install c:\Path\To\Your\APK\com.estrongs.android.pop_v4.0.2.3-237.apk. - When it's done, you can copy other files you want to install to your phone and open them with the file manager or use the
adb installcommand to install them from your computer.
