So My Sony SW3 is not supported by Playstore anymore, I know I can sideload, but can I instead set up my own LAN based Appstore with a lower version number to host the apps I want to push to my watch and other old devices?

Hi guys,
I'm testing my new DD-WRT PPTP router and I would like to see if I can download any market apps specific to US only, while located in Canada. My Google account country is United States and I can view fine all Netflix videos available only for US, on my tablet. I also did a movie purchase on Google Videos, downloading as we speak. So far so good...
Can you name few free US only apps that are not installed by default in a 10.1 Tab? For example, Amazon Kindle is not installed on my vanilla 3.1 Honeycomb but is available for download in the Market. I install it fine... I want to test if the US apps install properly on my hacked network. Thanks for your help.
I think I got a winner... The Google TV Remote app is for Google TV, which is available only in States. I can install the app fine on the Tab, but not on my Galaxy S2 which is a Canadian device.
Can you install Google TV Remote on your Tab located outside US? Thanks.
Here's how I got it working:
- Install Samsung Milk Music apk. It's a free app, and you can get it outside Google Play.
- Use Astrill VPN (you have 7 days trial). There's an app for android, ios, windows, mac, etc. Set the Stealth VPN options to Reliable (TCP) instead of default Fast (UDP). Tried too Hotspot Shield but doesn't work (Milk Music is not available in your current location)
- Use the app Fake GPS location to emulate that you are in the U.S. You need Mock Locations allowed in developer options.
Norwegian TV/Internet provider have made this app for customors to use on their home wi-fi to watch all the TV content on their phones, but there are no support for Android TV and developers/customer service does not respond with anything usefull or future plans on updates coming to the app,
my question is this, is it possible for me or anyone else to use a decompiler or something to remove the tutorialscreen that pops up when you open the app for the first time, after those slides the app would work with just navigational buttons but it requires touchscreen input to complete so none of the devices i connect to my Shield Android TV works.
or change the layout/api to the LEANBACK supported one ?

On Samsung's old TV OS is was rather easy to manually backup apps from the TV. Once you'd the app on your PC, you could manually sideload the apps back to the tv. In the end, this would allow users to combine apps from different regions (say Hulu from the US and the BBC iPlayer from the UK) on the same TV set.
Is this still possible somehow on the Tizen-based TVs?
Can you manually download an "official" app" from your tv and push it back to the same or another Tizen TV using the developer account?
Anyone managed to do this? Or got access to a rooted Tizen tv?
Anyone? Still looking to do this...
Also interested in this.
It *should* be possible.
If you have a USB port on your TV, a USB-A to USB-A cable should work. Plug one end in to your computer and the other in to the TV. Fire up sdb and see if it gets picked up by the computer.
I don't have a tizen tv, so I can't test myself, but it should be similar to other tizen devices
Searching for "easy" Firmware for Investigation...
If I remember correct, my last attempt ends with some encrypted TV Firmware...
Need some file, where I can extract files...
Any ideas? :angel:
Thanx in advance.

I would be curious to what can be done on these. I recently upgraded from an older TV to a Samsung with Tizen. I already see a forced "sponsored" app that shows on left of the screen when I press home and the Sling TV App doesn't seem to recognize the AirTV feature of Sling.

Hi folks, Canadian here from Ontario. I acquired the new Bell Streamer (Android TV) a few months ago as part of my Alt-TV subscription and it seems totally locked down to Bell Fibe's UI.
I can install ATVLauncher Pro and run it no problem, but if I click the home button or reboot the box, it always returns to the Bell Fibe UI. I could not find where to set ATVLauncher Pro as the start up launcher in settings.
Does anyone know how to force it to bypass the Bell launcher so that ATVLauncher Pro boots up instead of the Bell Fibe UI? I'm not interested in rooting per se, only setting up a custom launcher.
If it makes any difference, the specs of the box are as follows:
Amlogic S905Y2-B
Quad-core 1.8 GHz (ARM Cortex-A53)
ARM Mali-G31 MP2
2GB RAM
8GB Storage
802.11 a/n/ac, 2×2, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi
4.2 Bluetooth
Voice control with Google Assistant, compatible with Google Home
Supports 2 channel stereo, 5.1 Dolby
Outputs 2160p, 1080p and 720p up to 60 fps.
Android 9
Thanks
Hi! I know its an old thread, but using adb, I was able to make my favorite custom launcher (flauncher) default. To do that, I had to disable the bell one, but that also meant no more Bell Fibe. I replaced it with the fire tv version, which does require amazon appstore installed. But it all seems to work quite well.
The steps I have done:
-Have your custom launcher already installed
-Enable developper settings and usb debugging the usual way
-On a PC with adb installed, connect to your device from network (I couldn't make USB work)
- To disable default launcher, enter the command ''adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.quickplay.android.bellmediaplayer''
-Press home, it will either launch your custom launcher or give you an option to new default. Now it should all work.
-You can reenable old launcher by activating it from disabled apps in Android settings. Installing FibeTV from playstore will have the same effect.
If you don't want to enter adb commands from PC, it is probable that you can achieve the same result using LauncherManager app, but I have not tried.
If you don't care about FibeTV app, you're done. If you do, the one effective solution I have found was to sideload the Amazon version of the app along with amazon appstore (Bell will require you to connect to amazon account).
Lastly: if you don't want to enable adb or don't want to disable default launcher/bell app, you could use ButtonMapper instead to remap home button. But I find it much less clean, and you will still not boot into custom launcher.
