Possibility of sideloading new Philips Alexa App onto other Phillips TV’s

by McShmoopy

Hi guys So the Oreo update for my range of Philips TVs including my beloved OLED 803 arrived and this has also provided Alexa support to the tv through a system APK. I have extracted the system APK and tried to sideload this onto my PUS6401 tv which also runs Oreo. Is there any way this can be done, as I get the permissions not allowed error and when trying to put the SYSTEM APK onto the private-app folder I’m apparently unable to do so.

Cheers

So the issue is when attempting to install it or extracting it from your 803?

Use an app like X-plore File Manager to extract the .apk file and make sure you've installed and gave permission to X-plore on your PUS6401 to install from unknown sources.

Hey, can you upload your apk-file? Want to try it on my 7181. I can't find it somewhere else.

Thx :)
