Chris, do you have instructions for an install to an Android cell phone? I was able to install J804 jqt to my Motorola Droid MAXX with some hints from Bill Lam. They included identifying the correct line on the download page and how to tell the cell phone to accept downloads from an unknown source. I needed fairly detailed instructions and didn't find them online. --Kip Murray
