I can't find instructions on how to side load apps from OS X to my Nook Simple Touch. I rooted it using these instructions. I also installed NTGAppsAttack but it took me a while before I could log into Google and get it working. Now that it's working it doesn't seem to do much since I can't search the Google Market (probably because I can't side load apps).
First, I'm trying to install the Kindle App that I got from here. I downloaded the Android tools, but when I try to run ADB, it seems that the device isn't connected:
$ ./adb install ~/Downloads/Kindle_3.3.1.1.apk
error: device not found
- waiting for device -
I thought maybe I could load the .apk file in the Finder. There isn't enough room for me to load it onto the NookManager partition (only 8 MB free) so I put it in the My Files/Documents folder of the NOOK partition. However I can't seem to find that location using the ReLaunch app. It won't let me out of the sdcard directory.
I also tried launching ADB Konnect on the device and it tells me "Root Access Denied!"
Is it possible to install apps via SSH? I can't figure out how to get SSH running.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
No idea about Macs, but for USB you will have to modify ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
Nook is not a "known" Android.
Code:
0x2080
If your root uses ADB over WiFi that would work too.
Just compiling different methods of getting "stuff" onto FireTV. Aside from Kodi, here are my methods:
****FILES****
1. adbfire from PC
2. AGK Fire app from phone
3. ES File Explorer from FTV
*****LINKS***** (http links)
1. GBookmark app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amlegate.gbookmark
Save bookmark inside GBookmark phone app or from PC to Google bookmarks, then sync GBookmark app on FTV and open link.
2. Gmail
Cumbersome, but you can email yourself a link.
*****MEDIA***** (photos, music, video)
1. AllCast Receiver (on FTV) and AllCast (on phone)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast.receiver
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast
2. AirPlay/DLNA Receiver PRO (on FTV) and DLNA/UPnP Sender (on phone) (by WaxRain)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.waxrain.airplaydmr2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.waxrain.droidsender
This app is good because the receiver app is the one that costs $, so you don't have to re-purchase anything for the wife and kids to be able to stream stuff to the FTV.
3. Samba Filesharing for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba
Any other efficient ways of getting "stuff" onto the FireTV?
AirDroid
i say use pushbullet, there's even pushbullet for xbmc.
Downloader app
Oh so frustrating! I've had my best success using the Downloader app built in browser and my google drive online. In the past I've used and android app "apps to fire" but I get a Java script error with the fire tv cube. Gonna give your methods a try. Got to get Google services.

Either use adb via a pc
Once you have adb on pc type in command prompt as admin at adb location
Put apk file you want to install at same location as adb for ease of use
adb connect ip_of_fire
adb devices
adb install example.apk
Or
Get yourself a filelinked account
Upload all your apks to Dropbox
Enter the path details into filelinked (watch video on website for guide)
Put the filelinked app on device - either using downloader or above method
Now you can open app & download & install all the apks you have in your store
Has anyone tried the Pipo W4S? I've been wanting to try one of these dual boot tablets, but I personally wouldn't want to touch one unless it's got at least 64GB of storage otherwise the two OS's will just take up too much of the 32GB space. I suppose I could get the Teclast x98 Air 3G, but for 64GB it's pretty expensive compared with this.
It looks like it may be a spiritual successor to the Pipo W3, just updated with more storage and dual boot.
Yes i got one, nice tablet over all. But space distribution is not ok. For android 4.4.4 - 8gb, ~4.7gb free. Rest is for windows ~46gb free.
I have managed to resize android and windows partitions. Android now have 37gb, rest is for windows. Also android on this tablet comes without google services, so you wont have play store and all google apps. In the end managet to install them by hands to system partition only after i got root on it.
Hi, I’ve just bought this tablet. Could you coach me how I can root it and install Google Play? Thanks.

Used your files and now have a white screen on tablet after bios .bat flash.
It may be convenient for some to have Fire stick with a logged in Youtube for Android TV, in order to have subscriptions, and other good things.
0) Enable ADB debugging on Fire stick using the remote
1) Download AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool.zip from here :
http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Amazon Fire 5th gen/SuperTool
2) Hook up the Fire stick to your PC via USB, install ADB drivers using the SuperTool
3) Install Google Play using SuperTool
4) Download com.google.android.gms_9.8.77_(234-135396225)-9877234_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(240dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk, upgrade via adb "adb install -r com.google.android.gms_9.8.77_(234-135396225)-9877234_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(240dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk"
5) Download "Youtube for TV" here com.google.android.youtube.tv_1.3.11-10311100_minAPI17(armeabi)(nodpi).apk, install via adb "adb install com.google.android.youtube.tv_1.3.11-10311100_minAPI17(armeabi)(nodpi).apk"
6) Go to Fire stick, run Google Play, sign in into Google Play (it will give a server error)
7) run "Youtube for TV", and you should get your account subscriptions visible
I've listed a very specific version of Google Play Services (GMS) since this the one that worked for me (a more recent one did not work ...)
I know that OnePlus does not allow ADB over network and requires a connection under normal circumstances. I know this may sound stupid. I'm new, learning and trying to find different ways to do things. I've recently enabled my ADB via Magisk and installed Termux on my OP6T. Am I able to connect to my Amazon Fire device via Termux and WAN? Both devices will be connected to the same network. I plan to try with this later and am just researching. I've downloaded the APKs that I plan to push and want to see if I can accomplish it via my phone.
I've also noticed that Termux is in a hidden folder in the Internal Storage as I was trying to locate the folder to move the APKs there.
Sorry for wasting time, there apparently are apps that already do that more easily than utilizing this method.
