[Q] noob trying to dl gingerbreak

---

I am new to this, and I am trying to install gingerbreak. On my
Xperia play. When I download it goes onto the
Sd card and I believe that is why I am getting a message that it cannot install
And so I am following the instructions of chainfires. However I need help getting it onto
The actual device?

Please and thank you.

There should be no issuses installing apps from your sd card... i do it all the time

Use a file browser such as Astro (free on the market) to locate the file, click on it & open it with app installer.

yep gingerbreak has to be installed onto the phone, not the SD card, Go to settings>apps>manage>gingerbreak>move to phone.

Sounds to me like all you need to do is to go to settings . Applications . And allow unknown sources. Then install using a file browser.

Thanks for the fast reply's everyone. However when i go to find gingerbreak when i go to settings > apps > manage > Gingerbreak, it doesn't appear there. I also cannot use allow unknown sources as i don't have that option.

Any suggestions?

Wrong menu. Like I said, go menu->settings->applications. First chronic is "allow unknown sources".
After checking this. You can install from decade, using any file explorer.

That sounds odd, it should be in the settings were you manage your apps, as nieldk says, the first option. Wich language is your phone set to cause the application settings menu is not called the same in different languages.
