So in another thread it gives you the apk files needed to get the ouya launcher. I've gotten into the ouya store, but any game I try to download and install, complains that I need to enable "Unknown sources". My box is rooted which I thought automatically emulates "Unknown sources". I've seen the guy in the video run Bombsquad, and he mentions to "Enable Unknown sources". Anyone has this working, what needs to be done to get games to install and play on Ouya.

Need to go into Settings (from Original AFTV launcher) and System, then Developers Option and turn on Install from Unknown Sources.
If you have an earlier version of AFTV, then you need to do the SQLite method, do a search for it.

I had this same problem today...I coudlen't get the ADB commands to work...But I found out it's done via SQLITE editing ...so I did another solution
*buy* (or find) SQLIte Editor...(or an app that can edit SQL database files) and sideload it.
Download LanMote Lite from the play store(you need mouse support) and Sideload it. Once done RUN LanMote Lite and start the server (Free version is limited to 30 minutes so act quickly) On your HTML 5 device (preferrably a smartphone or tablet) [PC works but mouse is slow and wonky] connect to the same wifi as the FTV (if you didnt do it already) and open your web browser and put in the address LANMOTE will show on the FTV (example http://xx.xx.xx:9999) also enable different cursor.
Go to FTV home and go to settings>>APPLICATIONS >> your SQLITE editing program.
(in SQLITE Editor) Allow SU permisions and use your amazon remote (it works for simple navigation for now) to go to FILES TAB and go to
DATA>>>DATA>>>com.android.providers.settings >>SETTINGS.DB
go to the GLOBAL folder. You should see a list with different settings (BE CAREFUL)
(now this is where you need a mouse)
on your HTML 5 device (smartphone) go the MOUSE Tab and use the mouse pad to mouse near the entry that says INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS you will notice that default for this option is 0 (which means off/ disabled) Mouse over the 0 and tap the "click" button on your HTML device. you will notice the entire row becomes gray.
Use your Amazon Remote and click EDIT RECORD. cursor down to the 0 and change it to a 1
use your remote and scroll below it should give a CANCEL and SAVE button. Click save with the remote.
go back to home and enjoy sideloading unknown sources.

Hi Guy,
I recently buy a Android TV Philips PUS7909. It's an android tv based with 4.2.2 on board, unfortunatly Philips make the choice to block LOTS of android function...
I can't install unallowed apps, enabling dev mod....
I just want to know if someone here have this tv, or another philips android tv, and if someone can root it etc etc
Yes i know, it's not even christmas , but maybe someone can do amazing thing on android tv, specially on xda !
Hi,
I've a 48PFS8159 and could not find a way too.
My dream is the possibilty to install kodi/xbmc !
And something like Retroarch with the possibility to connect a dualshock
I too have a PUS7909/12 Android TV and I was disappointed by several things, one of them being unable to install most of Store apps. Rooting would be great as at least it would allow to install .apk files.
New update for this tv soon :
The new Firmware will soon be live.
AND1E_0.9.32.118 (Date published: 2014-11-21)
• HDMI EDID adaptions for Full HD <-> Ultra HD interoperability ( DISCONNECT HDMI cables before starting the upgrade)
• 3D fixes
Maybe we can do something with the update files.....
Should Philips provide the source code of its Android implementation? Are they under the obligation to provide it?

Hi,
I read one comment from Finnish netshop, it's for 55pus8809 model:
1. Install "Developer Tools" from play shop
2. Choose "Developer settings"
3. Switch developer options "on"
4. And "Show more apps in Google Play"
5. Reboot TV
Install "Set orientation" from play to orientation problems, switch "Landscapen" on.
I don't have Philips TV, but planning to buy one
Here is link to source, I don't know how it works...
verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/16035/dxskv/Philips-55PUS8809-55-Smart-Android-4K-Ultra-HD-3D-LED-televi#BVRRWidgetID
Lähetetty minun Nexus 5 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
I tried this, and it's true that some more apps are shown. Would be great to load apk files, but there is no "unknown sources" option...
I have the Philips 48PFS8109.
Developer options are enabled, but there is just no way to enable 'unknown sources'.
With the Google Search function the Settings options is not showing (it works on phones if you search settings)
Not a single application is compatible that gives me a shortcut to settings.
If i try to install an .apk file i get the message you need to go to settings and allow it. There is an Settings and Cancel, but if i press on settings nothing happens.
Does someone know a way to call up the settings menu with Therminal Emulator?
I already updated the tv but do you guys think its possible to just add an .apk file in the .upg file?
I can change the .upg to .zip and add an app in the system folder.

Hi,
that sounds good
I had a look into the updater-binary (firmware/manual/ambilight-fix update zip file) and the firmware is, as we already know, encrypted.
When you have a look with IDA Demo (hex-rays.com) you can see that the encryption key is taken from: "/res/keyfile.txt" which must remain somewhere on the TV.
AES-256-CBC is used and the key/IV is somehow, depends on the content of the keyfile.txt, MD5 sum of the content lines (e.g. one for key, one for IV).

I was on vacation for two weeks and i don't check this topic and what the hell is going on !
What a surprise for me to see what you do here !
Thanks a lot guys !
-----EDIT-------
The method to allow unknow source and install apk via adb working, thank you !
Tryed to install xbmc/ kodi but the launch and just crash, so bad. But that sound good !
-----EDIT 2------
There is a bluetooth option..... i can't connect my dualshock 3 on the tv because we need root for sixaxis controller app..... let's go to install some emulator !
------EDIT 3------
So... After some test, i was able to connect the duaslhock 3 controller in usb, BUT not all touch is recognised. So i can't play Mario Bros on Retroarch. I think i need another controller.
Kodi v14 lastest nightly boot but crash at home screen.
That's all for the moment !

I have created this little android app for my own use. The main purpose of this app is to install any app that is on you android phone/tablet to FireTV/stick. All you need is the adb turned on your FireTV/Stick and Allow installing apps from unknown sources.
Here are steps copied from Amazon
Turn on ADB Debugging
You must enable ADB on the Fire TV device before you can connect to the device.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > Developer Options.
Select ADB Debugging.
Get the IP Address
You need the IP address of your Fire TV device on your network to connect ADB to it.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > About > Network. Make note of the IP address listed on this screen.
Now Just open the AGK fire app attached below, enter you FireTV/Stick IP Address and select the app you want to install on your FireTV/Stick.
Credits goes to alexjlockwood for "https://github.com/alexjlockwood/AppListLoader" which is the backbone for my app.
Also Thanks to all the wonderful tutorials on android app development on the web.
Any Suggestions are welcome. I will try to address as soon as I can.

It should work. I haven't tested any. I have fire stick only. Any device that has adb over network turned on should work.
I'll try it tonight and let you know. I have an ADT-1 Developer Kit.
I think ADT-1 uses port 4321 so when you set your ipaddress add :4321 to the end of it. Thanks for testing.
Looks great. Super simple. Saves a bunch of time, thank you
Can't get it working
I have enabled adb and install of unknown apps, but no apps are installing to My Fire TV. When I select an app to install, I see a window pop up very briefly that says "Installing app", but then nothing.

Amazing app! Thank you!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you! This worked flawlessly (version 1.1) on FireStick. Much faster than upload/download from Dropbox.
I haven't tried the direct apk, only apps installed on my phone (oneplus one).
edit: Had a moment where it would toast "installing", but then fade and do nothing. Killed app and restarted FireStick, and worked again. Not sure which of those two actions fixed it.
I have a few suggestions:
1. Go into your XDA settings and enable the donation button. You deserve compensation for your efforts. This is a great app.
2. When the app executes any adb command, like "adb install ....", you should target the IP address specifically. Some Android devices, including the Fire TV, will already be connected to an emulated adb device if developer mode is turned on. So when the app connects to the Fire TV, your adb commands will fail because there are two connected devices. I think this is the source of many peoples issues. You can direct adb commands like this:
Code:
adb -s <ipaddress:5555> ...
Note that the port number is required for this to work.
3. The app can be used on a Fire TV to install Fire TV only apps onto a Fire TV Stick. However, navigating with the remote is a bit broken. When the app list initially loads, make it so that the first item is selected/highlighted by default. This will allow the Fire TV remote to move the selection down the list. I found a workaround that allows this to work for now. If you press the menu button on the Fire TV remote and go to the apps settings, when you return to the app list, the selector will be present.

Aha! I will try that. I had no idea about the port.
BTW, your app looks much nicer than the Fireinstaller app that is available on Google Play. Maybe you should make it available there. Make it work for both Fire TV and Android TV. Call it "Sidestaller TV".

Dude! Your app has been posted on AFTVnews!
aftvnews.com/agk-fire-app-lets-you-transfer-apps-from-an-android-device-to-an-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick
(Cut an paste the URL, I don't have enough posts to post links outside XDA, apparently.)
Does anyone know what app to use to sideload to the newly released 4k fire tv stick 3rd gen all apps have problems sending apk files to the new stick now.
Do Search for either of 2 methods:
1. Using ES File Explorer and its network function
2. Use an OTG cable so you can use a USB stick to load apps using any file manager
I've found the easiest way is install apps2fire on your phone/tablet. Install the apk you want on that - then it will upload/install directly to the stick (turn on adb in dev menu on stick) - I tjhink it might require the fire tv remote app as well. it can also copy files.also, do a voice search for "downloader" on the firestick - the challenge is typing urls.
Hi,
I have Firestick 4K 2019 version, would it be possible to run subway surfers.
KIndly help.
Note: I dont have google play store installed on firestick yet. I request a solution without google play store.
Thanks,
If you have it installed on your phone, you can sideload it using apps2fire. Go in the fire TV settings, select "my fire tv", then go in "developers option" and finally, enable both options there, allow ADB and installing apps from unknown sources. Go in the apps2fire app, go to the "install" tab (the last one) then search for your device. Go back to the first tab, find the app you want to install, select it, then tap install. I can't guarantee that the app will work, as I don't think it's even in the android tv play store, and the app is made for screens in portrait mode. If it works some menus will probably only accept touch input, though you can sidestep that by using a Bluetooth mouse.
Thanks, I will try this and let you know if it works.
I am able to install the application but it didnt launch, I can notice that it is trying to change orientation.
Then installed set orientation apk and but the firestick in portratit mode , still no luck.
Anything else you suggest ?
Thanks for your suggestion
