Installation Instructions |
Simplest Method:
-
Go into SETTINGS | APPLICATIONS and check box UNKNOWN SOURCES (allow
installation of non-Market applications).
-
Mail the
confirmation email to yourself on the phone, then click on the
link for the page, and then in your web browser, click on the
download link for the Pimlical....APK file. After it
downloads, click on notification icon and select it and it
will then be installed. Or you can manually enter the
download link for the file itself into your web browser on the
phone.
Alternate Method (if
you cannot do the above):
If you have never installed a third party application directly (i.e. not
from the market), you will need this one time to download and install an
application that will install APK (install-type) files. Otherwise if you
have already installed this application, skip now to step 2
1. Go into the Market application and search for APKInstaller and download
and install it
2. Go into SETTINGS | APPLICATIONS and check box UNKNOWN SOURCES (allow
installation of non-Market applications).
3. Connect the USB cable to your PC and open up notification list at top
by sliding it down.
4. Click on USB CONNECTED in notification list, and click button: TURN ON
USB STORAGE and confirm. Some Android phones will have an option for USB
Mass Storage instead.
5. In Windows file explorer - look for the device that represents your
Android phone (typically E: or F: etc. - usually will be marked as a
"Removable Disk"
6. Drag and drop the PimlicalA-xxx-yyy.apk file into the root of that device
(i.e. if device is F:, it should be in F:). Note: some environments erroneously change 'apk' to
'zip' (!). if so, manually rename it back to 'apk' before proceeding.
7. Click button TURN OFF USB STORAGE (or select Charge Only).
8. Launch APKInstaller and select PimlicalA-xxx-yyy.apk (on subsequent
installs, there will be a Pimlical folder - be sure to click on the APK
file and not the folder!).
9. Click on all the obvious buttons to install Pimlical.
10. If you like, you can move PimlicalA to the SD card going into SETTINGS
| APPLICATIONS | MANAGE APPLICATIONS. You can also uninstall it from there
too.
If you are re-installing and want to perform a completely clean
install, then after step 6 above, delete the Pimlical folder.
