Help how to load a .apk file

[bradyapba]

Total noob here on how to do this. I need to load and old version of a running app I use. I have the .apk file, but I have no idea on how to load it onto my x2. Any help step by step, etc. would be great. Im gonna guess it going to have to do something with the term... rooting....which I dont know how to do either....thanks for any help possible.

Actually, just put it on your phone anywhere, find it with any file manager, then click on it. It knows what to do with an apk.

If it didn't load a certain APK you downloaded, you have to check the allow on "Unknown Sources" under the Settings >> Development menu.

Even if it isn't checked, the option will pop up to go to it and check it.
