Notes-We plan to put Total Commander for Android in the Market when the final version becomes available
Code:
If this is your first beta, please open the "Settings" app of your Android device and go to the "Applications" page. Here you need to allow apps from "Unknown Sources". Total Commander will be available as a final version via Android Market once it's sufficiently stable.
Tthere are three ways to install Total Commander beta:
1. If you read this on your device, click on "direct download".
2. If you read this on your PC, and have a barcode scanner app installed on your Android device, double click on the following QR code, then scan it with your phone to start the download. You can get a barcode App by searching for barcode in the market. Personally I'm using the app "Barcode Scanner" by ZXing Team, it's a very simple one, which is open source, so it should be safe.
3. Finally you can of course type in the following link by hand in the web browser of your device:
