| 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 (as of 2012 updated to "Google
Play") 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.
