No apologies necessary. I appreciate your help. .... john

Hi Belodion, Well, my Moto G is older than yours, mine has no slot for SD cards, only one for a SIM card. I believe this is the first year they made the Moto G line, and that the next year it had an SD slot. But, I like your idea about rooting it. I have done it on another phone, a long...

Hi B. Diddy, Yes, I think you have something there; it is very old. I just see any way around the fact that it refuses to recognize apk files. Thanks for you help. I appreciate all the effort you've put into this. ..... john

Hi Laura, It's a used phone, I picked it up at Value Village. It is not hooked up to any carrier. I don't have a phone plan. I mostly used it as an mp3 player, camera, radio, watch. My main objective here is to install 'open camera' on it. ..... john

Hi belodion, It says Model G, Android 5.1. .. john

Hi B.Diddy, I've tried accessing the Play Store, and other Google services, from the phone, and for some reason it just doesn't take. It recognizes me when I add my email address and password; but the 'next' button, or any other buttons, do nothing; although they highlight when I push...

Hi, Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I used Total Commander many years ago. So, are you suggesting installing TotalCommander on Windows, because I haven't been able to get anything installed the Moto G? ... john

Hi, No, I'm afraid not. It's ancient, no SD card slot. Thanks for your help. ..... john

Hi, That's basically what I did. I transferred the apk file from Windows explorer to the downloads file on the phone; but it didn't show up in the phone's downloads folder, when I went to find it in the phone; but when I checked the phone's downloads folder from Windows explorer, there it...

Hi B. Diddy, Well, that's basically the problem; there is no file manager, as such, on this phone. I was able to transfer the apk of es flle explorer to the downloads folders on the phone (from Windows 7); but when I open the phone to see the apk, it's not visible; even thought it is...

Hi Laura, I'm no really sure what browser I used. I've had them for a long time; but no, not chrome. ..... john

Thank you all for your help. After reading BKdodger's post (and yes I still think that LA Dodgers sounds wrong); I realized that they're all out there, on the web. After some searching I found it and am attaching a copy. It's not the subject of the wallpaper that I like, it's the colours. Thanks...

I have this phone, and some apps in the form of apks, that I would like to install on it, but there seems to be no why, that I can see, of doing it; there is no file manager. I seem to be able to transfer the apks to the phone, but they don't show up in the downloads folder, or anywhere else...

I would like to use one of the wallpapers on the Moto G (1st gen) on another phone but don't know how to get it off the phone. Any help is appreciated. .... john

It's an old phone that has many useful features: music, voice recorder, FM radio, mail, browser, maps, + + + and ... takes decent movies and pictures and has excellent battery life. On top of that it's very small (just over 4"x2"), and very light. I use it for everything except for what it was...
