Then you go back to installing the game.

On your device it should look like this:
5.Tapthe *.apkfile and select Install.
6.After the installation is complete tap Open and if the game needs cache let it download it from game server.

Note: What’s cache?
Cache is just a folder with files you need to run a game or an app.
Virtually all games with cache on aabforandroid have their cache path on the game page showing you where you need to copy the files. Game cache is in a zip file and you need to copy not the zip file itself, but its contents to the indicated folder (read about how to do that in the instruction above)
If there’s no cache path on the page you can create in automatically:
1.Download the game (*.apk file)
2.Install it
3.After the installation run the game and allow it to start downloading cache, but cancel it in 10-15 seconds. The game created the folder and now you know where to place the cache.
Cache paths for games by popular developers:
Gameloft games – sdcard/gameloft/games/(game name*). If the game is from market the path will be different – sdcard/Android/data/(game name*)
Electronic Arts (EA) games – sdcard/Android/data/(game name*)
Glu games – sdcard/glu/(game name*)
Games by other developers – sdcard/data/data/(game name *) or sdcard/(game name *)
By (game name *) we mean extracted game cache!
