I'm sure it is, but you'd probably have to root your phone. I'm fairly sure I've seen the apps on torrent sites, so it's just a matter of downloading it and installing it without google play (which probably requires a rooted device).

Cheers mate, it's not rooted but it's a Nexus 6 (went for that in the end, 6 inch screen) so running stock Android.

Will be quality if this is possible. Gonna nick so many books & films.

Just realised, it's probably easier to torrent books and put them on my phone than to root the device and get them via apps isn't it?

yes! Getting files on your phone is easy compared to iphone. But its even easier than you allude to. Utorrent is available in the Google Play store!

I used to pirate paid apps that occasionally worked without rooting. Just hit up The Pirate Bay or whatever torrent site you use and search for "app name apk". Download the APK and whatever else it comes with, download the File Manager app (which is free), navigate to your Downloads folder, launch the APK, and it should ask if you want to install.

EDIT: On topic, I've been using a Nexus 5 since last July, it has been pretty slow and clunky lately, crashing a lot, likely due to light water damage. Almost time for a new phone.

Cheers bros.

I stole the Harry Potter book series, they are PDF files but I dunno how to open them on the Nexus? I didn't know where to put the folder so just put it in downloads and the books weren't there.

I use adobe reader on my galaxy. After the download, I just tap on the download completed symbol and it asks what I want to open it in, then after I open in it adobe, it's easy to find within adobe.

I've never owned a phone.

Will try this and report back mate.

Galaxy s4 here, love it.

Just a point: I would keep the "stealing apps/torrents" talk to a minimum, or just PM, as Google don't like it and it could get the site into trouble. The same as we don't talk about downloading albums for free, which of course nobody here does, or would ever dream of doing.

No point in making it easy for the Googletroopers!
