AirDroid

You've hopefully got a packaged app for your Android device by now. There are a few different ways of moving that your phone, but a handy app I found to help with that is called AirDroid. Instead of getting drivers for your phone and connecting via USB or downloading it from online storage, you can drop it to the AirDroid window and send the file straight to your phone. After that it's as simple as opening your notifications window and tapping on your app.

Now there's one thing to be aware of, your app will be unsigned. Which means your phone will complain about security issues, but you can bypass that warning and install it anyways. Just be careful if you use this method to install other unsigned apps. If it's code you don't trust, you probably shouldn't install it on your phone. But if you are testing your own app there should be nothing to worry about, security wise at least.

To find the .apk file after building it with cordova, navigate to your apps folder. From there it should be around here:

 \sidemenu\platforms\android\ant-buildCordovaApp-debug.apk

So once it's on our phone, run it like any other app.
