How can I install the trackR app which needs Android 4.4?

On the original Jolla Phone, Alien Dalvik only supports Android version 4.1. If the app requires a higher API level, you will not be able to use it. See also https://together.jolla.com/question/66931/what-android-version-jolla-is-compatible-with/

Sideloading works most of the time, download the APK from somewhere and use your USB cable to put the APK on your Jolla. Then go to your file browser (you can find some nice file browsers in the Jolla Store) to install the APK file. Warning: make sure you use a trustworthy source for your APKs and automatic updates are not working, you need to update the app yourself.

Sideloading gives parse error because 4.4 > 4.1.

Speaking of sideloading. I wanted to install my banking app. Downloading it from "somewhere" wasn't an option or is there a way for checksumming the apk? Or an official supported or recommended "somewhere"? ;-)
