Can’t get Angry Birds Lite on the Market? Download the APK

Update: Full version of Angry Birds now available! Just go here for the full version.

Update: A lot of you aren’t having a problem grabbing Angry Birds Lite outside of the US. So for those of you who can’t see it on the Market, list your location, phone & OS in the comments

I’ve been noticing a lots of tweets lately on how Angry Birds Lite isn’t appearing on the Market outside of the United States. While I don’t doubt at all that Rovio plans on releasing the full version of the game internationally, the “lite” version is US-limited.

That doesn’t mean you have to go without it though, as we’ve got the actual APK and are offering it up for you guys to download. So read on past the break and get going. Oh, and if you’re using LauncherPro, then download the Angry Birds icons.

So just download the file, unzip it, throw it on your phone and install it

Angry Birds Lite.zip

Thanks Josh for the apk!

I’m in the US and neither of my phones can see it on the market.

Thanks!

I have 2.1 on a Samsung Moment in the US and cannot get it. I downloaded the zip, and the unzipped has no APK. Do I just rename the file, deleting the .zip?
Scott Young

The .zip certainly has an apk file in it.
http://jacobscafe.blogspot.com Josh Morgan

Hmmm. I tried unzipping on my phone, and it gave an error. When I did so on my desktop (Mac), it creates a folder with the following: AndroidManifest.xml, a folder named “assets,” classes.dex, folder “lib,” folder “META-INF,” folder “res,” resources.arsc
Tyler Cunningham

I can confirm this .zip file contains the APK, it’s sitting on my Desktop and I sent it to my phone via Bluetooth.
http://jacobscafe.blogspot.com Josh Morgan

Unzipping it with a different program worked. That was strange.
Peter

I’m not in the US and I can see it in the market.

There really should be a way of seeing apps you can not install from the market and the reason why not. As it is it can be very frustrating to have no clue what is going on.

I live in Canada and I got it through the market. N1

I’m in the UK, got HTC desire. Found it easy on the market. Maybe its the yanks that CAN’T get it.
Dan

I don’t know much about the game, but decided to give a try.. Let me guess, this only works for devices beyond 1.6?
Muttley

I have it, downloaded on the market! HTC Desire 2.1 u1 on Tmobile in the UK.
http://www.twitter.com/chicgeek chicgeek

I had no issues immediately downloading it, and I have a sim-free HTC Desire in the UK. On T-Mobile network, but that shouldn’t matter.

Someone’s sources are wonky.

I am in the UK runing 1.6 on a G1. I can not see it on the market,and after unziping it failes to be read and thus won’t install.

Rather than a continental difference….

Robbie

I have an HTC Aria and I cannot find the game on the market and I get an error when I try to unzip the apk. Did they remove it already? Thanks
Dante

I manually downloaded the APK onto my Samsung Moment (Sprint) and yeah it runs, but the backgrounds are screwed up, and sometimes vertical bars show up as artifacts. Otherwise, seems to work fine, but was obviously designed for a larger screen resolution as sometimes the buttons are on the very edge of the screen or they are laying on top of each other.

Kim

I’ve given it a bit but still not showing up in the market for my unrooted HTC Hero running 2.1 on Sprint in the US. Friends with an Evo are seeing it.

I have the Samsung Captivate(ATT). It works great.

You wont find the the app on the market for most new droid phones. You have to manually download the APK for Angry Birds and depending if your phone is unrooted or not you either install it using appinstaller or sideload it
Dom

I have a galaxy s in the uk and its not on the market here.
Tom

YOU CANT FIND ANGRY BIRDS ON THE MARKET FOR GALAXY S REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED. YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT MANUALLY.

Email me @ [email protected] and I will send you the apk file
Scott Young

or just download it from the link above….

Angry Birds requires Android 2.2 Froyo to find it in the app store, hence all of the Galaxy S flavors will not see it yet.

Unable to see it on the Market in the Southwestern US with Droid Eris 2.1 stock.

Also, downloaded the APK from the link above, unzipped it, tried to install it, and was told there was not enough space. I deleted a Yahoo! Fantasy Football App, and a couple others totaling almost 20MB of space, still unable to install a file that’s 12.23MB in size…

Am I doing something wrong here?

For all people having trouble installing it on samsung galaxy s, I would recommend using astro file manager. just download the zip from this page, extract it and instal it with built in installer.works like a charm!

I have samsung behold 2 running 1.6 and doesnt show on market. Downloaded apk and just gte black screen… central u.s. here!!!

Samsung SPICA, running 2.1 with Rogers in Ontario Canada… NOT IN MARKET. Thanks for the apk
BikerDude

for the file extraction issue… EASY… get your self a free DROPBOX account. Extract file on your computer and drop it in your folder… then just open from your android app
ajatt

you need to install the apk file through adb from the computer I was getting the not enough space error as well run it through usb adb.exe e.g. adb install C:/AndroidApps/angry_birds_1.1.apk)
iflyfar

Not available on htc aria (seattle).
anomynous

i is got the htc wildfire and i really want the angry birds app but cant get it
Kelly R

Ok,i got the apk on my phone (samsung captivate 2.1) but of course it doesn’t let you install something not taken from the market. How do you get around this?
McLovin823

Download Android AppBrain and Fast Web Installer from the Market. Run the fast web installer, and click allow when prompted. Ensure that you have an account with AppBrain on the internet, and your phone is able to sync up with it. From there, you are able to go onto the AppBrain website, and directly install Angry Birds to your handset, circumventing the Market altogether. Didn’t work all that well on my Eris, but it’s playable, with some buggy graphics. Good luck!
Rocky

Hey , i just downloaded this app on my new dell streak and when click on the app the only thing i can hear is the music , cannot play the game , is this an issue with android 1.6 or dell streak ???
MannyVel

I have a stock Dell Streak too, v1.6, and I only hear music with no video also with the full version of Angry Birds. Anyone knows what the deal is? It’s a VERY cool game

Hi,

I have an HTC Hero, Android 2.1 and I’m in the UK. I can’t see Angry Birds in the Market, just a bunch of other downloads with names like “Angry Birds Theme” or “Angry Birds Icons” etc.

I tried the .apk (which seems to be HUGE! I may have to install Apps2SD), but all I can see is the beta warning.

Thanks
John

Scratch my last comment, I’ve figured it out. It looks like there’s some screen cropping issues on the menu screen though.
Bridgitte

I am unable to find it on my HTC Hero. I am in Dallas, TX. My husbands Moment has it but alas, I can not play
Simon Belmont

I have a Sprint HTC Hero and Angry Birds does not show up in the Android Market for me. I am a bit dismayed by this.

I suppose I will have to search out the .apk file and install it manually. Oh well.

Angry Birds is now in the marketplace. Downloading now!
John

@Ben: Let us know if you can get it working smoothly – I have a Hero and it’s incredibly jerky. Pretty unplayable on all but the simplest of levels.
Ben

@John: So far so good. I have played for about 3 or 4 hours and it did lock up on me once during an incoming phone call, but other than that, it has been flawless. HTC Aria.
John

@Ben, hmmm ok that’s a little faster than my Hero. Maybe the “light” version that’s coming out will be ok
David

i have a htc hero for cox communications and i live in nebraska and i can dind ulock alll levels and stuff but not the game itself
