SideQuest is designed to simplify sideloading apps onto your standalone android based headset. It should include everything you need to get started. When you first open the app it is best to open the setup screen and follow the instructions on screen to get setup.

It is important to follow the instructions in the setup screen before you start - particularily installing the OpenStore Launcher app to be able to find the apps on your device once they are installed.
SideQuest Features
Automatic download of ADB platform-tools for your platform - win/mac/linux.
Setup instructions for enablding developer mode on your device.
On device launcher app to be able to open the apps once installed.
Drag and drop support for installing arbitrary apps.
Repository seeding via sources.txt file to preload your own repos for distribution.
Add custom fdroid based repositories to get more apps.
Setup
When you first launch SideQuest it will download the repositories and also download the ADB tools. Once this is done you should go to the Setup menu option and follow through the one time setup to get your device ready to install apps.
If you have any problems you can hit the debugger icon to capture any errors - these will really help to find and fix bugs.
Apps
I will be adding more apps to the repos and I will be notifying of repo updates on my discord server - you can then manually update the repos in the repos section to get the new app listings.

UNINSTALL OLD VERSION FIRST:
adb uninstall com.acs.updater
Version 1.3
What is the ACS Updater?
ACS Updater is an app for android devices that allows you to download and install custom roms, kernels, themes, and modems from the internet on the fly. It's very simple to use: run the app, select what you want to install. You will get a screen asking if you want to wipe cache / backup first. Select options, and hit OK. The file will download from the net to /sdcard/ACSDownloads, and when complete, will reboot into recovery and install automatically.
Backup and Restore can also be done via the app, as well as Installing from SD Card, and even Install from URL - put in whatever URL you want, and it will download and install (if you put in a URL to something that isn't a flashable zip, and try to install it, that's your fault.)
In future releases, there will be more goodies, stay tuned!
Notes:
If you choose not to wipe cache, and the flash goes bad, that's on you. It's there as an option, but I'm not going to force it.
If you hit an area (such as Themes), and it says nothing available:
Developer's have not submitted anything for your device
Servers are temporarily down - try again in a couple minutes
Try using the "Reset Wifi Connection" Option
This App depends on a custom -R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y- KERNEL which includes extendedcommands
It's always a good idea to backup before flashing a new ROM
Developers:
Want your work listed in the app? Simply submit your info to the following links (whichever applies), and I'll get it added to the database.
Submit Modem
Submit ROM
Submit Kernel
Submit Theme
Submit System Tweak
Submit (Flashable!) Custom App
ChangeLog:
v1.3
Added Custom apps section
Added Tweaks (Mods) section
Added Reboot Recovery Option
Added Reset Wifi Connection Option
Added the ability to publish to ALL devices!
v1.2: Bugfix
Backup Before install was not working properly - Fixed
v1.1: Initial release
Backup
Restore
Download / Install
Install from SD Card
Install from URL
Wipe Cache
Known Issues:
"Nothing Available at this time" - This appears to be a combination of server issues (the current host may have a limit on how many sql queries can be run at a time....) and possibly http host resolution issues within the app. I have added a bit of code to resolve this, and a "Reset Wifi Connection" option. Use this, wait a moment, then try again
Booting into a blue recovery and not flashing - this is caused by a stock kernel. This app relies on the recovery that is in the kernel, NOT that one you installed (i.e. amonra, clockwork, bonsai, etc)- your kernel MUST have a custom recovery. If you are coming from stock, please flash a kernel before using this app.

yeah thanks
This version/thread retired
new version - with source - can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36854150
This release composes of two parts:
The RTDPackager which creates an AIP file, and AIPInstaller which is the installer for these AIP files.
V1.1 of RTPackager release - now fully functional.
AIPInstaller Usage
Place the exe file and associated DLL in a folder somewhere sensible. I have not tested in ProgramFiles yet but the app elevates UAC so should be ok.
Double click on any AIP file (I include one as an example) and windows willl show this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
select 'more options' which will show this:
check the check box at the top and then click 'Look for another app on this pc'
A browse dialog will open - find and select AIPInstaller and you are done. You only need to do this the first time. I intend to add an auto install to this, so in future you can just double click the installer and it'll set itself up, but till then...
From now on, you can double click an AIP file and the installer will pop up. Usually just hitting 'install' will be all you need to do (there are some advanced functions like disabling the install batch if it exists, and changing the install path which isnt really recommended)
RTDPackager Usage
This utility is designed for creating AIP files. Its worth paying note that the AIP format is designed for repos more than it is the installer - so there are a lot of details here which the repo can use to make you app more visible.
V1.1 now has full open and save support.
Save will save a template XML, which can be loaded later with the Open button. Open will also open an existing AIP file and fill in the details.
Create Package no longer saves in the same place as the files being packaged - it opens a save dialog.
The browse button will now work and populate the run EXE field and the folder field.
some details:
AppName is the display name - and the install folder - so avoid \'s and such. If you change this in an update, it will get installed to a new folder.
Updates are detected based on the App GUID. Change this, it will appear as a new app - use the same GUID on more than one app and you will have conflicts. The generate button for GUID *DOES* work - you should only use it on the first release of your app - and for the time being, keep it safe for any updates.
Run EXE is the exe that will be launched by the store when the user asks to run it - and if a shortcut name exists, will be placed in the start menu.
Install/uninstall batch files are option batch files for installing/uninstalling registry settings and the like. There is currently no uninstaller, but the store app should have this built in - the uninstall batch is NOT for deleting files - the store will handle that.
App version number is a REAL number. ie. 1.03 is ok. 1.0.3 is not.
App category is for placing your app in a 'folder' - it is free form, with | splitting. Anyone can create a new category this way and its not up to the repo manager to manage this. Obviously it will work better if we have sensible categories such as 'Apps|Browsing' or 'Emulators|GameBoy' - while its totally possible to do 'djboo|prerelease|funthing' - i hope we dont do that.

Note: Once the RTD Packager is complete, code will be shared for both - that should be tonight.
Nice work so far, haven't tested all elements of it yet but it looks pretty good! Keep up the good dev work!
What is This?
Yes I know there are tons of drivers Installers around but this is more..
This is a Standalone version of the drivers installer from the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit.
--DRIVERS--
There are a selection of driver packages you can install to suit all devices (google, cwm universal, samsung and oneplus). There is also lots of help and information on what to do if the drivers don't work properly. A test routine/checker is available which will attempt to detect the plugged in device (and reboot to fastboot mode and back on google/nexus devices) to verify the drivers are working. Tools are also included to remove unwanted drivers if a fresh start is needed.
--ADB/FASTBOOT--
The Adb/Fastboot installer (Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36) can install System-Wide (for all Users on the PC) or for the Current User Only. This is a very simple installer and means you do not have to download the complete SDK from google. You can also easily open a command prompt to send commands to your device.

Hey there. Thought I might ask here.
Recently updated to 7.1.1 on my Nexus 5x and now fastboot is not working. Have spent most of the day trying everything I can find on here and installing or uninstalling drivers on both my laptop and desktop with no joy.
Tried all the options within your software but no joy. Adb works ok but fastboot just will not work.
I realise this is not an issue with the software but wondering if you may know of something else to try.
36 hours now on an unrooted phone is the first time in years
Thanks
Just in case this is some use to you with your Toolkit the workaround for the fastboot issue was sorted as shown in the post below.

Thanks I will add the google kedacom drivers as an option in the installer.
Mark.
Got a rooted op7p & various versions of my favourite apps installed that I don't want to update. Because there not the latest versions they stay stuck in my update list in the play store!
Is there a magisk module or app I can run to remove them from the list so I'm not constantly told to update or accidentally update it?
Think I might have solved it!
Went into Titanium backup pro, found the app, scrolled across to 'special features', then 'detach from the market'! There no longer in the update list now anyway ?
Detach is one that is for this
Titanium Backup like you found is another option
However, in my experience, both apps don't keep apps removed. After some time, they will show up again
Yeah your right, already popped back up!
Any idea how to permanently get rid of them?
You can turn off updates from the google play store itself, and it never notifies you.
Go into google play > Settings > Auto-update apps | Set to Don't auto-update apps. If I want to update something, I go in manually and choose what I want to update.
As for Magisk modules, also under settings, turn off Check Updates.
Titanium Backup was my first play store purchase for those features as well
Hi there, I have found a work around for this.
Go to (https://github.com/yuk7/playstore-excl-upd)

then follow the instructions on the page.
Make sure you create a txt file named as peulist.txt under root directory /data/cache/peulist.txt... once done reboot after flashing the file and include the apps with there package name that you want to exclude from the update list.

Um... any idea how you can UNDO this, so all available updates will show up again? I've tried disabling the module and rebooted, but the changes seem to stay...
Does anyone know what exactly this module does/changes? It does not seem to be really well documented...

GMADB is a GUI based Minimal ADB that helps you work on modifying your Android device via the Android Debug Bridge. This program helps you to speed up your process of sideloading an update to your android device by making the UX easier. It has four main functionalities:
1. Select and Flash - This allows you to simply select the .zip or .img file of the update and flash it with just a single click. All the process happening will be displayed on the blackBoard (the big black textbox that looks like a terminal window).
2. ADB Devices - With one click, it displays all the available/connected devices on Android Debug Bridge (ADB).
3. Custom Command - This helps you to execute custom shell commands from the app, making it easier for you to do any operation without going to cmd.
4. Log recorder - The application generates a log file of all your activities, which will help you to debug or evaluate all the errors, outputs and everything that was on the blackBoard. (Will be available from the next update)

Example: Let's assume that you want to install a custom rom (assume, HentaiOS) on your phone (assume Redmi Note 7 pro).
step 1: Click on the "Select ROM" button. Select the .zip file from the file explorer window that opens up. The selected filename will be displayed and the Flash button will become active (Bright green color).
step 2: Click the "Flash" Button. Wait for the process to complete. Do not close the window until you see the success message on the screen. (In the current version, real-time process output streaming is not available (will be fixed in the upcoming updates), so DO-NOT close the window assuming that the process is not happening. Please refer the phone for the process progress information.)

Known bugs:
1. The results/output shown on blackBoard is not real-time. Output appears only after the completion of the process
2. Runs on a single thread
3. Log Generator yet to be implemented
