How to manually install apps in your android phone

First of all i want to talk something about Android and apk files. Now a days, Androids become most important in today's mobile phones. This is a smart phone era is seems. Here we go, APK is Application Package File. The file format used to install applications in Google's proud and bright Android Operating system.


APK are a variant of jar file format with an .apk extention. jar files you might have seen in Symbian phones. 

Here are the steps to be followed strictly :


1. First you need to open your browser and google for android apps providers (except market, as it wont provide you .apk files)
Here are some sites i found useful:

  1. mobiles24.com (you will need to create a ID here for free.)
  2. androidzoom.com
also u can search in rapid share and mega upload for apk files.


2. Now assuming that u reached your website page, Browse the content you want and click download to download the apk file you needed. ( U need to be sure about the OS version. Check for it in phone and then download the appropriate file. Usually sites provide option to select phone model. So its easy. Even if you are unable to find your phone, Find your phone OS version and look for the phone in list with the same version.)


3. Half done ! Now go to the download folder of your browser.


4. Find your File you downloaded. usually a *.apk file.


5. Connect your phone and copy the file to your SD card.


6. Disconnect the phone and run your Application Installer app from your phone. ( By default, all Android phones are provided with Application Installer. If not you can find it in android market and download through wap.)


7. Now you can see that your phone searches your SD card for apk files. A final updated list of apk files are listed there.


8. Click on the file name you copied to your phone.


9. Touch install and complete the installation.


10. You are done ! You will find the app in your menu list.
