How to install an app that may not be available in your area

A while back I covered how to ‘side-load’ an app:

And if you put that together with the updating file folder we have of Non-Canadian APK files you have a good way to put applications that you can’t access from the Market into your phone.

Now there may be another way.  A few more steps involved than what I have above, but if we can’t find the APK to put in the folder, this is a good alternative.

Now, be warned, I’ve tried it and it semi works.  The biggest issue will still be the app won’t let you use the service (see below with me trying Pandora).  So not always is it just the carrier trying to block you.
