1. Tap on the Application manager drop down menu at the top center of the display

2. Then tap on the Application catalogs button.

3. Select and disable each catalog except the one of interest.

4. Return to main menu and select download. Then tap the button for the category you are interested in.

Repeat for each catalog.

Or select the package You want to install and press "Details" and voila...:

As You can see on the above pic this particular package is in "Catalogue: Extras-Devel"... ;)

I use Extras and Extras Testing and didn't have any problem so far...!

Re: What are the safe apps currently ???

Hi,

I like to think of it like this.

extras-devel: Developer playground; I have a package here that just won't work on your device (Quick Clip) and I won't be fixing it in the near future. ;)

extras-testing: What a developer thinks is ready for end-users; I have a package here, TouchSearch 1.3-2, and so far 4 positive votes without a negative :)

Extras: Applications that have been voted ready for end-users; I have a package there, TouchSearch 1.2-2, and no complaints so far!

Note: there is no karma requirement to go from devel to testing, any developer can promote their app.
