How Install apk from sdcard using internet browser

What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet.
And to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!

Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.
(I suppose you have one installed :-)


Here's what you need to do:

1. Put the apk file in the main directory of your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".

2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".

3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk". (Without the double quotes of course)

In our example above it should look like this: file:///sdcard/fm.apk

4. Press "Go". That's it! Installation started!
