The unique content can be downloaded on your computer or directly to your Android. If you download on your computer, use the USB cable to move the files to the device and access the internal memory of the device as a flash drive, copying and pasting the items in the desired location.

In both cases, you must use a file manager to access the content. We indicate the ES File Explorer, but you can download what you like best - as long as it has the function to unpack files. Once downloaded, create a folder on the device to make it easier to find items for personalization.
