How To Find Sideloaded Apps On Android TV - App Icon Not Showing Up
Vložit

- App not showing up on your Android TV home screen or under Apps? These are two easy ways on how to find sideloaded apks on Android TV.
It happens that when you download and install Android apps on Android TV that they will not show up in the app center. Normally the app icons will show and this is how you can launch them. But some apps since they are not designed for Android TV will not appear and a lot of users do not know how to open them.
In this video, I will show you 2 easy methods on how to find the downloaded android apps that do not show on your Android TV device like an Nvidia Shield TV, Xiaomi Mi Box S, or SONY TV, etc.
While the first method, using Sideload Launcher is pretty easy, the second method using the TV App Repo application is better in my opinion since it is cleaner and permits you to add the app icon on the app drawer of the Android TV Leanback Launcher / App Drawer. So definitely make sure to check it out too!

It is a bummer it doesn't work on TCL tvs. When adding the leanback shortcut it doesn't add it to the app list so I can't add it as a favorite. Is there another app that allows you to favorite side loaded apps?
Thank sir
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
awesome Bro

Hello i just tried to install youtube vanced on mi box s using tv repo but it can't make the shortcut.. can you help me?
This does not work on my Mecool KM2 Plus-Deluxe Smart TV Box System running Android 11, I guess it's because it's designed for older versions of Android. When I try to add a side loaded app to my home screen it acts like it's adding the App to my home screen but when I check my home screen the app I tried to add dose not does not show up on my home screen. The only App I can get to work that will show my side loaded Apps is Sideload Launcher.
*I had (Home Discover Apps) tap as you have on the top left, however it disappears and I can't get it back! Can you help!*
thanks, but it will not create shortcut. and tvapp repo doesnt show up in my permissions list on my shield...
I keep getting conflicting information; do you know if you can sideload apk into a hisense androind tv?
without knowing the exact model, can't say for sure. But if it runs on Android, everything is possible!!!
Tv App Repo do not work for creating shortcuts on android 9, Philips 8 model.
I think they blocked Apple Music from having a shortcut, I can get it to side load just fine but TV App Repo just crashes when I try to add it. Bummer.
Hi my samsumg smart TV is not supporting apk downloads- what should i do
It does not work anymore ??
I have a Nvidia TV Shield and the application TV App Repo does not succeed to create any shortcut
Anyone know how to change inputs using android app? Or add input option to media menu?
Following exactly as you say Dimi but your it never works nothing comes on the leaned shortcuts past the plex icon
when I use it to make shortcut, it shows "build failed" for a lot of apps, my device's os is android 9

I have an unusual problem in that I had installed the livenettv 4.8 app on my MI Android TV.
All was working fine until yesterday but when I turned on my TV to use it....the icon has vanished.
After scratching around, I found it's still installed because it's in a list but I can't find a way to open or use it.
When I did a search for installed apps, it pops up briefly in the list and then disappears.
I've tried several fixes outlined by Dimi all to no avail.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I can't watch my favorite football team play.
Install Xplore apk and then try ti search that apk in apk manager and delete it
Later reinstall back
Halo Dimitri...how to instal zoom on my Mibox tv ? Thanks 🙏🏻
The process is the same as with any sideloaded app, use TVBro or Downloader and grab the app from internet. Actually you gave me a great idea for the next video! Will make it tomorrow!

I have smart tv, I downloaded app from Smart TV Google play store its downloaded but I am only able to see it by going to Google store downloaded section, Why no icon for home screen? How to make it appear on homescreen?
If you see it when you select "apps" then you need to select the + icon so you can add it on your home screen
@@techismypassion I see it by going to Google play store only there its appearing as downloaded app
I've tried and it doesn't work anymore :/ (not on Google Chrome with Google tv key) :( help !!!
Please tell me how to watch CZcams without ads🙏🙏🙏🙏
There is 2 ways first one is if install CZcams vanced you can look it up on CZcams and the other way is you install s art CZcams you can also find it on CZcams.
Sometimes on my Nvidia Shield, APKs show up on my Home screen and sometimes it doesn't.
Use one of these methods to make them show up then! 👍
I thinks it crashes when I try to create shortcut...
Tried to use it for CZcams Vanced and it just crashes. :(
