I am new to this forum, and new to owning an android phone. I have a zte skate which is running cyanogen 7. I cannot get apps from my sd card.I go to file management, then go to free apps which as far as I know are installed on card. when I click on any games a sign comes up saying " for security reasons your phone is set to block insterlation of apps not obtained from the android market." When I click on sd card I am not sure that is correct terminolegy, It states 1.1 GB used, 777 free. how do I resolve this. As a newby could you please instuct me step by step. thankyou in anticipation
 
Welcome to Android. You have to check your settings and see if you can download "Unknown Sources." On my Atrix 4G, I have to go to menu> settings> applications> unknown sources, check this. After its checked, the same notice pops up, but I'm able to download apps from my SD card.

Try what he said. If that does not work, what are some of the apps you are trying to restore?
Also how big is your SD card? and I am not familiar with your model phone. Does it have another name? Also how many apps are you trying to restore?
 
I have now managed to get up one of the apps. I have done the same procedure with co pilot, all seemed ok the icon came on the icon page,when I selected it I got this message"co pilot code cannot be loaded by this system.any ideas please
