Does anyone know a way to sideload apps on the Chromecast without installing some sketchy “file uploader HD” app?
All the guides I can find online recommend installing some random file transfer app.
Can’t get termux or f-droid, nor Firefox, chrome or even apkpure
You can just do it wirelessly, just like you would with any other phone
Are you talking about the same device? Op is talking about a Chromecast, not an android TV.
Yes I was, that’s how I did it initially on my Chromecast with Google TV. No wires involved, just adb.
The last non-AndroidTV Chromecast model was discontinued over 3 years ago. Seems reasonable to assume AndroidTV model, if OP doesn’t specify, at this point
I’ll have to give that a go thought you needed wired to authenticate first
iirc you don’t, at least I remember to have installed some apps via adb from my phone and I didn’t use a cable.
