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
Iirc that requires a usb connection at least in the first instance right? I guess only one way to find out if the usb c charging port on the Chromecast dongle supports any kind of data transfer
You can just do it wirelessly, just like you would with any other phone
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.
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.
