It has android 2.3.7 with a modified home that has only 3 places to go, file manager, IPTV, and setting

[APP][TV5.0+][2015.03.10] Sideload Launcher for Android TV v1.05

Easily launch apps you sideloaded to your Android TV
This is only for the new Android TV devices, like the ADT-1 and the Nexus Player, it is completely useless on other devices
Android TV requires existing apps to be updated and declare themselves compatible before they're installable from the Play store.
While certainly not as streamlined or seamless as the average user would wish for their TV, many apps can still function on some level on these devices if you sideload them, but they don't show up in the Leanback Launcher (the Android TV homescreen).
So for that there is this app, the Sideload Launcher. A simple app that shows you the normal app launcher icons that a phone or tablet would show you, but which are hidden on Android TV, allowing you to launch any sideloaded app!
PS. This is a rather silly small app, but it came in handy for me while messing around. I don't expect this to become even remotely popular even when Android TV takes off, but it only took two hours to write, and I learned some new APIs, so if anyone at all ends up using being happy it exists, I consider that a win.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.tv.sideloadlauncher
Redistribution of the APK is not allowed.
(1.00: 1000 downloads; 1.02: 1140)

Thanks for this. This will def come in handy.

very cool. could this be modified or something similar for amazon firetv?

Excellent work as always.
Thank you!
Bert

I was one of the people who preordered the Nexus Player, so this makes the wait even harder now! Thanks for all the work you do man.

Don't know why but I just got my ADT today and it ain't working. Updating to lollypop

Do we have to sideload this to the Nexus Player through adb to get it on there?

Yes, it's need to be slightly updated before the Play store will allow it to be visible because of the new TV guidelines...

How do you sideload on this device? I got mine yesterday and just hooked it up.

I'm far from a newb when it comes to using adb, fastboot and doing pretty much anything on android but I cannot get sideload to work on the nexus player. I've tried it from PC and Mac, I've used the most recent ADB version and USB driver. ADB sees the player but if i try to sideload it says "error". I've tried in recovery, frmo within a normal boot (dev options enabled, ADB is allowed as well as unknown sources)

adb install filename.apk

Sent from my Nexus 5

Icons and banners updated. Hopefully Play will allow it on the TV store now
EDIT: Approved by Google for TV distribution, yay! Now if only the Play store on my device would actually work, I could check it out...

This is so nice, using it on the nexus player . all my sideload apps are showing up , except for plex ver 3.6.2.267 , i find it in system, apps section.... thanks for making this ,great time saver....Thanks

[BUG] Menu Key Broken
I ran into a bug with v1.02.
I'm running this on the Nexus Player. I have the Amazon Fire TV stick remote paired with it. That gives me access to the menu button.
When I hit the menu button, Sideload Launcher hangs - no button presses except for the back button or the home button are recognized.

This app, Viaplay, does not show up in Sideload launcher. Any idea why?

Some Apps Not Showing
I sideloaded Plex (because the Android TV version of Plex is still too buggy for me) and it does not show up in Sideload Launcher.
As a workaround I tried to use Tasker and Autoshortcut to create an app with Tasker App Factory to open Plex. Thinking if I named the app something different it would show up in the Launcher. Well, that didn't work either as that app isn't showing. Is there a reason why certain apps aren't showing in the Sideload Launcher?

Plex development version v3.8.2.294 is not showing on the Nexus player. Earlier dev versions worked fine in the v3.5 ranges.

Is chrome preinstalled in sideload ?

Updated to v1.05: should make some of the missing apps show up. The app wouldn't load the title of apps that weren't properly localized (bad developer!), and in turn would fail to display them.

Useless thread is useless

Very informative and useful guide for someone who just bought their first android phone. Very nice, keep posting stuff like this and the next time maybe more advanced guide would helpful.

Yalpstore no 'Pretend to be a different device' option available?

I downloaded Yalpstore to install a Android TV based app on my mediaplayer with Android 6.0.1.
Yalpstore makes it possible to pretent a different device (for example a NVIDIA Shield TV).
I found a manual here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...or-nvidia-shield-games-on-any-android-device/
Instructions:
Go to the app settings.
Navigate to the option “Pretend to be a different device”.
Select the NVIDIA Shield TV.
Untick “Delete APK after installation”.
Search for a free application or game in the Yalp Store.
When prompted, select the option “Log in with your Google account” and enter your credentials.
Download any application or game.

General Official List of Sideloaded Apps and Workarounds For Wear OS (Tested on Galaxy Watch)

SIDELOAD LIBRARY
COMPATIBLE WITH WEAR OS 3
TESTED ON GALAXY WATCHES
All Smart Watches Can Probably Benefit From This Guide
Special thanks to everyone who has contributed to testing and providing feedback on various apps and versions. Thanks to you guys, this library remains up to date. I recommend disabling most permissions associated with these apps including notifications to prevent excess battery drain. Please post to this thread or PM me if you find any discrepancies. Enjoy! ​Google Assistant GO v2.8 (ApkMirror)
Official Google Assistant for Wear OS 3 now available!
Google GO v1.7 (ApkMirror): Lightweight Google browser that can perform quick Google searches or display quick search result answers (such as weather or definitions). Tapping a link will launch in default browser app due to watches not having WebView support. Need to lower DPI temporarily after installing to get past initial language selection screen (see below for instructions on how to do this).
Google Chrome for GW4 (XDA)(Google Drive): This version of Chrome is listed in the XDA Google Assistant for GW4 Mega-Thread. It works well Sideloaded but I'm not sure if it's just an older version or also modded to not crash on GW4.
Samsung browser is also a good option for default browser. In case you need it, here it is from ApkMirror: Samsung Internet Browser (Wear OS)
Messenger Lite v25 (ApkMirror): Very convenient app to have if you use Messenger often. This app gives you full Messenger functionality for your wrist. Period. Stick to low versions due to clutter in later versions makes it impossible to tap on chat bar to write a message. If you also use Messenger on phone, to avoid getting notifications from both apps, disable Messenger Lite notifications.
If you have issues getting past 2FA, try to login on watch and then go to your Facebook notifications on phone to approve unrecognized device. Next time you try to log in on watch it should skip the 2FA.
Facebook Messenger (Wear OS) (ApkMirror): Official Wear OS implementation for Messenger. This is not an application that can be launched directly. It functions as a bridge between watch and phone so when you receive a message, pressing the "open app" button on the watch side notification will launch a convenient conversation window designed for round screens to message back and forth. This only works with Messenger installed on phone when it syncs notifications with watch. Does not work with Messenger Lite.
Facebook Lite v39 (ApkMirror): Easy to use Facebook scrolling from your watch screen. Dark mode and quality options available in settings. For better visibility, in the Facebook Lite settings menu, set the font size option to small. This app also includes it's own Messenger interface built into it that can be used for sending and reading messages.
If you have issues getting past 2FA, try to login on watch and then go to your Facebook notifications on phone to approve unrecognized device. Next time you try to log in on watch it should skip the 2FA.
YouTube Go v1.22.54 (ApkMirror):
YouTube Go has been discontinued by Google. Applications no longer work.
Google News v5.7 (ApkMirror): This is the best News option available to Smart Watches and It looks good on small round screens. You can set dark mode and data saver by launching settings (upper right corner) and while in the settings menu (not before or you won't be able to access the settings menu), lower the DPI to 200 (see below on how to do this). You'll then be available to see and access all available settings. Reset your DPI when you're done prior to exiting settings menu to avoid UI jank.
Update 12/18/2022 - Due to previous uploaded version now requiring update to use, v5.7 is now the ONLY VERSION left that doesn't crash or force mandatory update to use.
Google Translator (Google Drive): This is the old Translator app that used to come installed on Google Wear OS watches.
Google Phone (Wear OS) (Google Drive)(ApkMirror): Google's own phone app used on other Wear OS watches isn't available to Galaxy Watches on the Play Store due to Samsung wanting us to use Samsung Phone I'd imagine. However, the app can be sideloaded and works perfectly. If you use Google Phone app on your phone then I suggest sideloading the app on your watch as well and setting it as your default phone app.
Due to the Pixel Watch version of Google Phone lacking functionality on Galaxy Watches, I linked the older Google Phone app. Does all the same things with a different UI. If you're interested in the Pixel Watch version of Google Phone, you can find it in the link below.
PIXEL WATCH VERSION - Phone By Google (Wear OS) (Buggy on Galaxy Watches)
Google Home v2.7.21.2 (ApkMirror): After extensive testing with various versions of the APK, I can confirm v2.7 is the best version currently for Galaxy Watches.
Official Google Home app now available on Wear OS Play Store as a pre-install.
UPDATE 12/11/2022: Currently, still only a preview version is out which doesn't include much functionality other than launching directly to phone. Not ready to write the workaround off yet.
Google Files (ApkMirror): Excellent file manager for your watch that includes an app manager, automatic junk removal, and cache cleaning. You will have to lower your DPI to dismiss the initial dialog upon installing the app.
Google Calendar (ApkMirror): There are plenty of calendar apps available for Wear OS that include syncing with Google Calendar. However, if you want the real deal, it does work on Galaxy Watches with any of the recent versions. It crashes a few times when you first launch it, but then it seems to work fine once it's cached making it not the most stable option. However, all features are functional and it doesn't look too bad either. Dark mode available in settings manually.
Wear Mail (Watch) (Phone): Standalone or companion email client designed for Wear OS that's available on the mobile Play Store but not Wear OS Play Store. Excellent functionality and UI that is pretty much the only email client for Wear OS that supports direct Gmail account linking and access. It does all basic email functions including composing, reading, archiving, deleting, syncing, and sending of emails in standalone or companion mode directly from watch. Must upgrade to premium version for full functionality. Reported that application doesn't work at all in free mode anymore. If you upgrade to premium and find it doesn't work, you can request an instant refund through the pay.google website.
2/20/2023: Confirmed application still functions normally despite last update in 2021.
Other Semi-Functional Wear Apps
Google Cloud Access Disabled
Wear Messages
Wear Photos
Wear Videos
Wear Calendar
Wear Documents​Spotify MOL (Google Drive): A modded Spotify Lite version. I've tried several modded Spotify apps and this is the best one I've found. It can play anything from your Spotify premium account directly from your watch as a standalone. You don't need your mobile device at all.
Here's a link I found on XDA of a Spotify version modded and adapted specifically for Wear OS. Have not tried: Click Here
GW4 Remap (Github): Button remapping for Galaxy Watches using Logcat. It can Remap both hardware keys to launch any application you want. There's a short delay between pressing and launching however. See link below for guide on using this. Despite the name, it does work on Galaxy Watch 5. Older version will launch over Samsung Pay instead of using logcat for button press which is instant but requires Samsung Pay remain installed and enabled. For watches without Samsung Pay pre-installed, see below for alternative option.
INSTALL GUIDE
Source: XDA / Github
SPayToGPay (XDA / Github): If you live in a region that doesn't have Samsung Pay, use this version to launch Google Pay using hardware key long press.
​Discord v89.11 (ApkMirror): Not the best UI for round screens due to Discord's side swiping layout. However, works pretty good and just requires a little patience.
NOTE: If you run into captcha or other login issues, check out the workaround HERE. To summarize, while your watch and phone are connected, log into Discord on the web to trigger captcha using phone. After verifying with phone, you should be able to log into Discord on watch without triggering a captcha verification.
Instagram Lite v200+ (ApkMirror): Old versions crash. It doesn't look the greatest but it's fully functional. The problem is that the bottom status bar covers 20-25% of the display with blank white space for some absurd reason. Unless you use Instagram often there's no reason to bother with this.
Any Custom Font Guide: We can use zFont 3 to install custom fonts. The Samsung Cloud procedure isn't required since there are no font restrictions on watch. Here's the steps to set a custom font on your watch:
Download and install zFont 3 on phone HERE.
Import your font file into zFont using their custom font wizard. Google Fonts is a giant open source option for custom fonts that can be downloaded in TTF or OTF format. Google Sans is not available in Google Fonts but a simple Google Search will locate it easily. I recommend Product Sans as an alternative.
You'll need to install SamsungSans from Galaxy store. Most steps in application can be ignored since watches don't have the font restrictions that phones do and therefore don't require Samsung Cloud workaround. Start at the step that has you uninstall SamsungSans followed by installing CustomFontName(zFont 3).apk, STOP THERE. You're done with zFont.
Once you have the custom font installed on phone, use a third party application or ADB command (GUIDE) to extract the .apk file to device storage. Once extracted, sideload it directly to your watch through any method you prefer. GeminiMan (see below) can extract the APK and sideload directly to watch and is the best method.
Once sideloaded, from your watch go to Settings > Display > Font > CustomFontName. Done.
Sideload Ready Fonts
Google Sans Regular - DOWNLOAD
Google Sans Bold - DOWNLOAD
Product Sans Black - DOWNLOAD
The Google Sans fonts are under the name CircleRounded so you can only have bold or regular installed at 1 time. Product Sans is under the name SamsungSans.

Below are a few applications designed specifically to streamline the ADB process for Wear OS so that even beginner's or non-tech savvy people can make use of sideloading applications, uninstalling bloatware, and sending commands to watch
• GeminiMan Wear OS Manager (Play Store): This is an extremely useful app by @Dante63. It's essentially an app that simplifies any ADB related function for your smart watch. It allows you to sideload or debloat apps by selecting from the list of installed apps or apk's directly. Also includes an interface for sending custom commands to watch with an option to save commands for quick access. I was able to debloat and sideload everything I wanted on a freshly installed Galaxy Watch 5 within 10 minutes thanks to this app. PM @Dante63 directly with questions, feedback, or suggestions. You can accomplish any ADB related operation to Wear OS using this app. It smartly includes a reinstall option if you debloat something you shouldn't have.
• Wear Installer 2 (Play Store): This is the easiest app available for sideloading apps to Wear OS. It dumbs it down to the point where you never have to enter a command since it doesn't have a manual command input. Also includes ability to modify the screen density so that you can get past the initial setup in some sideloaded apps. In my experience, this is the best and most stable app available when it comes to just sideloading.
• Bugjaeger (Play Store): This app is an all inclusive ADB app designed for Android devices. This is my go-to option for ADB operations on my phone. However, it can pair to Galaxy Watch 5 using the Wireless Debugging option with a six digit pairing code and port number. This application isn't easy to use like the first two options but includes more advanced operations. Free and premium version available in Play Store.

APK Version Selection
The best place to download various unmodified versions of any application is ApkMirror. Some APK versions have multiple variants available. Only architecture (Arch) "armeabi-v7a" is compatible with Galaxy Watches. If it's listed as "Universal" then the manifest includes support for all architectures but uses up more storage to compensate. The more modern "armabi-v8a" is not compatible with Galaxy Watches and will crash if you try to launch it. Older versions typically look and run better on smart watches due to less cluttering and memory usage. With smart watches, less is more.

Good afternoon, I don't have anything to add but would be very interested to learn more.
I have Assistant Go 2.12.x I think installed but it seems earlier is better? Also is there a phone based ADB for changing DPI to remove blue banner?
Also a link to learn more about messenger lite?
FYI: Using Easy File Tools to sideload the assistant APK
Really appreciate it!

I have found an app and removed the banner (FYI there is a 'em' typo on the command on the assistant)
I've also installed messenger lite! Thanks for the tip off

True but in the previous app I listed there is no access to the adb shell

Are we sure the default is 330? My notification 'tile' is off centered... Can't remember if it was like that before.

I tried exactly that but only got a "unknown command: density200" error, even tough the command I sent had a space before '200'. Thankfully the app @-Sie- suggested worked on first try.

Are we sure the default is 330? My notification 'tile' is off centered... Can't remember if it was like that before.
Watch4 46mm
Edit: Set mine to 340, seems centered again

"wm density reset" to go back to default value. You're right , it is 340. I did a reset and used " wm density" to display it

List of additional APKs that can be Sideloaded to your watch by Appfour developer (Extracted from the phone app version). These apps are wear apps but were removed from the wear side of the play store.
Wear Messages: Syncs to Default sms and Facebook messenger.
Wear Mail: Provides standalone or companion access to Gmail and various other emails. Full email functionality.
Calendar for Wear or Calendar W: 2 of them included. Both can link to Google or Samsung calendar account. I prefer Calendar W.
Wear Photos: Standalone or linked app that can view all the images from your phone.
Wear Video: Standalone or linked that can view all the videos from your phone.
Wear WiFi: Great Standalone Wi-Fi manager. (This app is available on both play stores, no need to sideload).
Those are all the appfour apps that I have installed that WORK. All the other ones don't work so I didn't include them like the YouTube or Document viewer.
I highly recommend the Email if nothing else.
Note: Wear Mail was too big to import at 7mb so I had to zip it first.
Also: I attached the old Facebook messenger addon that wear OS used to have installed. It can't open messenger directly but when you receive a messenger notification on your watch, there's an option to "open app" which will then open a messenger interface that is designed for wear OS with full functionality.

I have tried to install different versions of GO Assistant with no success. The 1.x versions do not even start (the loading circle remains). The 2.x versions start but then he doesn't "hear" me when I speak (even if from the interface it is listening and I obviously gave permission for the microphone).
Which version have you installed successfully?
