All,
Based on some work I was already doing on another app of mine (Juice for Roku), I threw together an basic web server to run on the Nexus Q that can be used to launch packages and intents. You can download it here: http://greggreno.com/test/JuiceReceiver.apk
Steps to install:
Make sure the Nexus Q is recognized by ADB using the ADB DEVICES command. If not, look at the Running Apps thread that shows how to get the USB driver to recognize the Q.
Download the apk file (above)
Use this command to install it: "adb install JuiceReceiver.apk"
Use this command to run it: "adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.jigawattlabs.juicereceiver/.MainActivity"
The background web server service SHOULD auto start when the Q boots, so you shouldn't have to manually start the service again, unless it crashes.
When the app launches, it will show the URL of the web server running on the Q. Just go to that link and it will show you the list of currently supported commands. Since I don't have a keyboard or mouse hooked up, I auto close the front end app after 30 seconds to get it out of the way.
The /showimage and /playvideo commands don't seem to work yet because there doesn't seem to be any default player for them. The /playmusic command seems to work (you see an activity playing it), but I can't hear anything.
Please share any suggestions for how I can get the media playback working and any other commands you need. Consider this a buggy alpha release.
works for me
Nice! Didn't try too many things, but was able to launch a couple of the built in apps (settings, downloads).

Juice Receiver is the way I call the Launcher on my Nexus Q, since I could not assign any key, or combination key to open the launcher I use the browser to do it. Thank you very much, other wise I'll be stucked at the adb commands for that!

This has really breathed new life into my HP Chromebook. The only downside to this OS is the way it handles ZIP files. You must drag them to the Download section and they get unpacked and show up in left column.
Android Apps that work for me:
Pandora
DoggCatcher
Garman My-Cast Weather
TWIT.TV
Android Apps that won't run:
iBird Pro
WinAmp
Gmail 5.0
Anyone know if gmail 5.0 will run well on Chromebook? I need a new laptop and would like to go to ChromeOS but I need a decent exchange email client. The company that hosts our web access will not enable full version of OWA for anything other than IE.
Thanks for sharing useful information with us.It helps for the new followers who dont know about this.
I dont see the FIOS app listed, can it be done? I use my tablet like a second tv at home and to watch stuff in HD as I do not have the hd box. Thx.
Technically, yes you can run any Android application on a Chromebook, but it will require quite a lengthy process that may not even be worth the time. Here's the guide. Just follow these steps: (I would post a link but I'm a new member...)
"Google is currently working with a handful of developers to bring a few Android apps to Chrome OS—but why wait for the pokey process to bear fruit? You can run any Android app on your Chromebook today. Chat on Skype, play Minecraft Pocket Edition, or read the latest news in Flipboard; it’s all possible, with a little help from Linux.
Here’s how it works: Google created a “runtime” that allows any Android app to run on Chrome OS. To test it out, it released four Android apps—Vine, Evernote, Duolingo, and Sight Words—that are now on the Chrome Web Store. Installing one of these apps will get you the runtime, and then you can “sideload” an Android app and run it on your Chromebook.
Google's goal is to get every Android app running on a Chromebook. In practice, the runtime is still in development and some apps crash—especially since Google's Android backend services aren't present on a Chromebook—but many apps already work just fine. Apps that use the microphone and camera even have access to your Chromebook’s microphone and camera. Android app notifications appear in Chrome’s notification center, too.
4.3 skype on chrome os
Skype's Android app running in Chrome OS, complete with notifications in the lower-right corner. Nobody tell Microsoft!
Getting started
First, install one of the four official Android apps—like Kids Sight Words—from the Chrome Web Store. Try the app and ensure it works on your Chromebook. Installing this sample app will also install the Android runtime for Chrome OS, and that’s what lets this hack work behind the scenes.
Install an Android app on Chrome OS
We’ll be using the chromeos-apk tool for this. It runs on UNIX-like systems (read: Linux and Mac OS X). We performed this process with Ubuntu 14.04, but there’s a way to convert APK files manually if you’re on Windows, or you can run Ubuntu from a live CD or Wubi. You can even do this on a Chromebook itself if you’re a geek who’s installed Linux in developer mode.
On Ubuntu, open a Terminal window. Run the following two commands to install and set up node.js:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
Next, install the chromeos-apk tool:
sudo npm install chromeos-apk -g
You’ll need the Android app’s APK file. Google doesn’t just allow you to download these from the Google Play Store. You can sometimes find APK files on various websites online, but that's risky—it’s like downloading a program’s .exe file from an unofficial file-hosting site instead of the official source.
1 download android app apk file for chrome
Downloading an Android app's APK using AirDroid's web interface. (Click on any image in this article to enlarge it.)
If you have an Android smartphone or tablet, AirDroid works well for this. Install the Android app you want to run on your Chromebook on your Android device, and install AirDroid as well. Open the AirDroid app and visit the AirDroid website on your computer. Sign in to the AirDroid interface. You don’t need to create an account, just scan the QR code on the screen with your device’s camera. Click the Apps icon, locate the app you want to run, and click the Download button to its right. You’ll get the app’s APK file on your computer.
Next, you’ll use the following command on your computer to package the Android app up for Chrome OS. (Be sure to replace “/path/to/app.apk” with the file path to the downloaded APK file on your drive.)
chromeos-apk /path/to/app.apk
If you’d like to use the app’s tablet interface instead of it smartphone interface, add --tablet to the end of the command, like so:
chromeos-apk /path/to/app.apk --tablet
2.5 convert android app for chrome
Converting an Android app for use on a Chromebook using the Chromeos-apk tool in Ubuntu Linux.
I saw an error message with Skype and had to enter the “com.skype.raider” name when prompted, but the tool still successfully converted Skype and it ran on my Chromebook. The tool is supposed to get the appropriate name from the APK file so you don’t have to enter it by hand, but it doesn’t always work.
The command generates a directory, which will appear in your home directory on Linux. Copy the entire directory to your Chromebook via a USB flash drive, SD Card, or shuffling it around using a cloud syncing service. Go to the Extensions page on your Chromebook (Chrome > "Hamburger" menu > Tools > Extensions), click Enable developer mode, and use the Load unpacked extension button to load the extension directory for the Android app.
3 install unpacked extension
The Extensions menu's developer mode in Chrome OS.
Once that's done, simply open select the Launch option for the app in the Extensions menu.
Run more than one app
This tool has some limitations. Google’s Android runtime for Chrome is currently restricted to four specific apps, and the tool above replaces Vine with an app of your choice. You can only use the command above to install a single Android app on your device at a time. If you want to install up to three more, follow these instructions.
Vladikoff—chromeos-apk’s developer—has also now released a modified Android runtime for Chrome. It’s known as the ARChon Custom Runtime, and it allows you to run any number of apps at a time. It even allows you to run Android apps in Chrome on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. This modified runtime is less official and may be more unstable. Of course, Windows users already have a good way to run Android apps with BlueStacks or by installing Android in a virtual machine.
soundcloud chromeos Vladikoff
Soundcloud's Android tablet app running on a Chromebook.
Where is this headed?
In the future, Google will likely improve their Android app runtime and allow all Android developers to easily package their apps and put them on the Chrome Web Store. Google could go even further, adding Chromebooks as another supported device in Google Play so you could easily install any Android app on a Chromebook like you'd install it on a smartphone or tablet.
We’ll probably need unofficial tools like chromeos-apk for a while. It’s unlikely we’ll see every Android app appear in the Chrome Web Store any time soon. Chrome OS users may have to use tools like chromeos-apk to package up apps like Skype; Microsoft probably doesn’t want Skype running on Chromebooks, as they like using it as a cudgel against Chrome OS in their “Scroogled” campaign and other ads.
Check out /r/chromeapks on Reddit for more discussion of this tool, including whether specific apps work! We’ll hopefully see the tool continue to improve, bringing more software to Chrome OS—though you have to wonder what this means for the future of Chrome and its offline “Chrome apps.”
It's a pretty straight forward guide.
chromebooks are a google product...

( had a netbook, loved it too, but... this is way better!!!)
good luck with yours!!

hi
i have a hp 14 chromebook(celeron)
android skype and ymail are working for me
hi
how successful are people at running android apps on there chromebooks?
i have been trying off and on since christmas to run android apps on a intel acer chromebook with no success,
while i havent used this method described here, as i havent got linux, i have tried the other two methods that are supposed to work.
i have mainly been trying to convert mincraft as this is supposed to work fine, i just thought get this working and move on
first i installed evernote, to get the run time on chrome book, its definetly on there
then i have put ARChon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bpear.archonpackager
on my phone, and used it to create the files/folders from apk files which then i put on the chromebook, and install via chrome/load unpacked extension
but it just shows the icon for a minute then the chrome crash screen
i have then tried installing Twerk,
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twerk/jhdnjmjhmfihbfjdgmnappnoaehnhiaf?hl=en
directly on the chromebook, converting the apks with twerk and then again install the resulting files/folders via load unpacked extension
but same result,
next attempt, i put the Archon runtime on the chromebook
https://archon-runtime.github.io/
i have repeated the previous steps, archon on my phone and twerk on the chromebook but still get same results
i have also tried a few other random apks, and i have tested the apks im using on a tablet so they all work
For older Chromebooks/Chromeboxes that Google will not load the Android store on, there is one possibility. There is a Linux distribution called "Android x86". I have installed this Linux distribution on my PC laptop, dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu. It looks and runs android marshmallow just like my android tablet and phone. You don't need touchscreen. The mouse point, click and drag works fine to perform all touch functions. I can download and run Google Play Store apps to my PC with Android x86.
So, since you can install Linux through Crouton on a Chromebook/Chromebox, you should be able to install Linux Android x86 through Crouton.

They managed to make a modded spotify apk with offline playback that fits watches screens. I tried installing it on my amazfit pace via adb and via apk installer with no luck.
ADB throws this message when trying to install it:
[INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]
Is there any way to get it installed on our watch? Any guess why this error?
Thanks!
The watch is MIPS, Spotify is not compiled for MIPS, so you get that error. There is no way to port it.
Debloated after getting the Pie update, and I'm having issues installing apps. Doesn't matter if it's the Play Store, Galaxy Store, or any other method, they just hang on "installing" forever. Problem goes away if I go into the settings>apps>reset app preferences, but this of course re-enables everything and I have to setup a lot of my apps again. I know I basically need to go through my list one by one and figure out what is causing this, but was hoping since I won't have time to do that for a few days, if I posted my list here someone might be able to pinpoint the problem. I had these (and more) disabled while on Oreo, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any help is appreciated!

Got some time this morning and figured it out. Turns out you can't disable Device Security with the Pie update or things get screwy. I've got that disabled on my Note10+ and I believe it was disabled on my Note9, but on the Tab S3 it's a no-no it seems.
So don't disable Device Security (com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity) and you should be fine.
Can you share the steps to disable all these apps? I only have a Chrome OS and Linux computer.

I'm not sure how to do it with those OS's exactly as I don't have a linux machine and haven't tried this on my chromebook. But I do know it's possible, you use terminal I believe. I use command prompt on windows (from within the platform tools folder of the android SDK). Don't even need that installed, I actually just have the platform tools folder on a flash drive I run my bat files from usually.
Contained in my bat files though are my commands to disable apps, enable apps, clear data, change screen resolutions, or whatever I'm doing.
Make sure your device has USB debugging turned on in developer settings. Then the command I use to make sure it's connected after plugged in and the drivers install is "adb devices" without the quotes. Should come back with a number that's unique to your device. If that checks out, you can do all the other stuff.
To disable an app I use these three commands per app, it's two extra steps compared to most people, but it clears out the data for the apps before disabling them.
adb shell pm enable --user 0 "app package name here"
adb shell pm clear "apk package name here"
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 "package name here"
No quotes of course. And just repeat those lines for each app you want to disable. Grab the package names using the app Apk Analyzer by Martin Styk.
Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask and I can always boot up linux from a USB or try it out on ChromeOS.
One more thing I'll add is that you may want to leave gallery3d enabled if you use certain s-pen gestures like smart select.

You need to have adb and fastboot installed on your Linux machine. Most distributions should have this packages within their repositories. So you can use your packetmanager.

Hi, I have been trying to “debloat” my Samsung TabA8 and have been trying to do it for some days now. Have done everything according to online directions )Developer Options, debugging, etc.)
My problem:
When opening ADB power shell, I get only the list of some of the installed apps on my laptop with Windows 10, but no apps on the Samsung Tablet. Win10 apps then ask me how I want to open those apps. Some of my choices are: Notepad, Open Office,Google Drive, Internet Explorer.
I have tried all of them. Nothing is working.
How do I get a list of Samsung full apps list on the desktop power shell window??
Just entering for instance: “adb shell pm list packages“ or: “com.samsung.android.apps.spage” is not recognized. I have tried several others also.
I have done all of the online remedies and tried the same thing with another tablet-same problem. Nothing seems to help. There is probably something really easy I am missing...(I hope)
If anybody has any suggestions/advice, I would appreciate it very, very much.
uses platform tools then uses adb from inside them not powershell.
read it here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Yes, I have been using the platform tools app. Also, made sure that the drivers are up to date. My problem starts in the platform tools power shell. Samsung apps are not visible there. In the past, before adb + develpoper options ,etc.,connecting the tablet to the laptop via usb, I can see the content and can delete pictures, etc.
So, I'm doing something wrong somewhere with adb.... I would really like to disable and render invisible some of those pesky Samsung apps without rooting. Have rooted my Nexus several years ago. It was great. I just don't want to lose the warranty for now.
Again, thank you. If you have any other suggestions, I will appreciate it very much.
Update...I just realized that the problem is probably with adb and power shell. At opening at the top it reads:
"PS C:\ User's \Ann\ Desktop\adb setup"
Is it not completly set up?
A few days ago,I have unzipped, and agreed to install Fastboot, ADB system-wide and installed Device Drivers. If I right click, it wants me to install again. Have done it a couple of times.... Still, it just isn't working...
Again...thank you!
Oh, one more thing I failed to mention is that this tablet is WiFi only. Does it make any difference? I want to debloat it first before doing it on my Samsung S22 phone.
-Device Driver installation problem (your wins)
-Platform tools (adb,fastboot) run with CMD from inside this folder.
you known howto fix it. wins problem.!

You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
