I know that to install an Unsigned application on phone, one need to select a option from setting "Allow Installation of non-Marked application", but this option is not available in my Samsung S3 phone.
How can I install an Unsinged Application ?

Then it should install buddy. There might be some problem in your .apk. Check by using some other .apk files. – Spring Breaker May 23 '14 at 06:17

You cannot install unsigned applications.
The "non-Market application" or "unknown sources" setting only allows you to install signed APKs from other sources than the Play store.
For non-release testing purposes including tracing with DDMS, sign your APK with a debug certificate. Android IDEs do it for you automatically.
For release purposes, sign your APK with a release certificate you've created yourself.

I know singing process, but If I sign my application then I will not be able to trace it from DDMS. – user2060383 May 23 '14 at 09:43
