So I understand how to install apps from their .apk files using adb (install filepath), and that's all very good and handy if the .apk is on my computer.
But if I download an .apk straight to my phone because I'm on the go, and I install it on my phone, can I then delete the .apk file if it's unnecessary? Or will the app cease to function if I delete the original installation .apk because the app is always run directly from this file?
Also, is this process of installing apps from their .apk installation file is what people refer to as "sideloading?" Because I didn't do the instructions I see everywhere to "enable sideloading on at&t" but I've installed apps via their .apk file and adb..
Thanks
