Android Installation Guide
This is a short guide explaining how you can install any .apk file you find here on your android phone. I'm also going to show you a way that's a lot easier than the standard method everyone uses.
Please make sure your phone has "3rd party apps" enabled in it's settings! To check this go to Settings » Applications » Unknown Sources, check the box. You have two options, either put the .apk file into your phone's SD card or download and install it directly from your phone.

Installing Through The SD Card
Download the .apk file and put it somewhere on your PC where you can find it back. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB connector and make sure your phone connection settings are correct, to check this go to Settings » Connect to PC » Standard Connection » Mass Storage Drive. Now drag, move or copy the .apk file you stored on your computer to your phone's SD card, put it somewhere you can find it back later, you could make a new folder called "Apps" on your phone's SD card, after that then safely disconnect your phone. Open a file explorer like Winzip, File Browser or File Manager, you can find these file explorers HERE. Search for the .apk file you put on your SD card and click it, then press install, read the permissions and install the software.

Installing Through Your Phone
Of course, you can download the app directly from STRIKECODED. This seems like the easiest way, but a lot of other sites have problems on phones, aside from that you will also have to go there every time you want to re-install the app. That's why I found a much easier method.
Download an .apk file from Strikecoded, read permissions and install the software.

Installing Through Dropbox
Get Dropbox, it's a free online storage program that you can use on your PC and phone. Search for Dropbox on Google, then make an account and install it on your computer, also download the app on your phone through the marketplace then set it up with your newly created account.Now you will have a special Dropbox folder on your computer where everything that's in it will be synchronized with your phone as well. Simply download an .apk file and put it onto your Dropbox folder, then open it on your phone through the app, read the permissions and install the software.
