Greetings I have been a long time lurker of Reddit, more specifically r/AndroidTV since I got myself two ADT-1's. Recently I came across a post in this sub about the Fire TV NCAA March Madness App having Leanback Support and the fact that it could be side loaded, so I started to research other Fire TV apps that could be side loaded, as the Google Play Store does not have a great selection of Network TV apps as Amazon does. However, while searching for some new apps to sideload I also discovered that there really is no source available to get Fire TV apps other than to ask on places like r/fireTV and hope someone extracts the apk you want, which does not seem to happen very often. Anyways I found someone eventually who was nice enough to rip a few apks for me to test on my ADT-1 and for the most part all of them work flawlessly and have leanback support. So I decided to make this thread to share these apps that work and hopefully help those who like me where scouring the internet trying to find some Fire TV apks. I will try and upload more apks as I find them I also welcome anyone to share any they have found.

Here are some instructions on how to sideload these apks and get them on your Android TV:

1. Download the Amazon App Store and sideload it onto your Android TV.

2. Download ES File Explorer File Manager from the Google Play Store. Now their are multiple ways to get the Amazon app store apk onto your Android TV. I personally use ES File Explorer's cloud option and upload the apks to my Google Drive.

3. Next download Sideload Launcher - Android TV from the Play Store.

4. If you have not done so already head into your settings and allow unknown sources.

5. Once you have installed the Amazon app store on your Android TV device open up the sideload launcher and log into the app.

6. After that simply download any of the following apks and install them like you did the Amazon app store. However, you will have to find and purchase the app(yes even the free ones don't worry you won't get charged) from your internet browser from Here after that the apk should load up without any problems and you can use any of these Fire TV apps on your Android TV!

Here is the list of APKS I have uploaded, like I said earlier I'll add more as I get them and I encourage people to share more apks and I will add them to the list. I have provided brief descriptions of how the apps behaved on my ADT-1.

APK List:

1. Animal Planet Go . The app launches but then crashes.

2. Animal Planet L!ve . Launches fine but the video feeds don't appear to work or function properly.

3. CNNgo . Loads fine except the menu only opens when you first start the app. If you want to go through the menu you have to exit and re enter the app. All the on demand content loads fine, only bug I have noticed is that the CNN live feed does not load, but CNNI and HLN live feeds work fine.

4. E! Now . Works perfectly.

5. NBC News . Untested.

6. NBC TV . Works perfectly.

7. NBC Sports . Works as it should.

8. NBC Sports Gold . Works as it should.

9. NCAA March Madness Live for FireTV . Works as it should.

10. The CW . Has the potential of working perfectly seems to be blocked though as the app throws up a connection error.

11. USA Now . Works perfectly.

12. Syfy Now . Works perfectly.
