Hi Glenn

Put the APK file anywhere you like on the device as long as you can access it with a file manager app. Then just navigate to it and double tap to run it. It will ask if you want to instal the app. Make sure you have the device set to install apps from third party sources.

Hi,
I have heard about a software for rooting that is easy and Blind friendly,
called TowelRoot.
https://www.towelroot.com/
or the direct file link:

https://towelroot.com/tr.apk

I haven't tried it yet.

It recommends that you install SudoSu next, to protect your device.

Now I am thinking of custom ROMs.

I have heard that Omni Rom and Carbon are Blind-friendly.

I've never done any of this, so before I take the plunge, I'm hoping anyone
here who has done this can offer some advice.

Oh yeh, one more thing:

The file is an .APK file.

Is there a place on my phone to put the file?

Thanks.
