Guys, it's up in github.
Feel free to test and let me know if anything's unclear.
I'm bad at writing guides and documentations...

Oh ya, please be extra careful when you install APK from unknown source.
During the test, VirusTotal is reporting suspected malware in ES File Explorer I got from Russian group, so better download from trusted and known site.

were the apps you tested the latest versions? thanks for this

i think app support would be better after android 9 update. (if acotech done it correctly and still able to sideload app)

wait.... let me double check with you see my PoV correct or not...



1. installing a file manager, so you can install apk with it later?
or
2. all apk install need to be done with script?


i think should be 1, because if all apk install with script. with the script you provide and user changing apk name probably will causing a mess right?

Quick feedback here.

Tested and it is working.
Thanks very much 🙏.
I will upload more details later.

Just followed the instructions given.
Copy everything needed in the usb drive that prepared and plug into X50 USB port.

A screen will popup asking if the USB is music or video media, just be patience there and wait for it to reboot.

Edited:
Took around 15mins to install my apks showing in the pictures before it start to reboot.
Best is that you opening the app manager (the left icon next proton icon at the bottom centre of the screen) to observe the installation progress.

To install in batch, what I did is copy all the apk files into data folder that created and do the necessary permissions.

<Below only for those who understand the script syntax. >
Then use "pm install -rtdg --user 0 (replaced with your folder location)/Netflix.apk".

Attached thumbnail(s)

1 is correct

2 is not true, if you already have explorer installed then scripts not needed anymore.

Scripts mostly needed for 1st time to get explorer or like me install everything in a batch.

Hope this clarified

I see... mean my pov is correct. will do it later.

where you get your ES file explorer? pureapk got 4.2.6.1.1? will it support android 5.1? (because 5.1 is REAL old)

did you install the latest versions?

Try search within apkmirror it will tell you the minimum for which android version and yes 4.2.6.1.1 will work as well.
It is upto your own choice of file explorer as mentioned in the instructions.

However if you are familiar with android environments best not to do it by yourself.

OMG Tqvm!! Will try this later tonight!!

Imagine charging RM350 for this, couldn't be us haha!!

We all need to belanja u a cup of coffee or something la bro. Drop ur Paypal or DuitNOW QR here, I will gladly donate u some moolah haha

since i using huawei mate 40 pro, basiclly all side loaded. so basic 101 maybe ada.
i plan to install ES, then install thirdparty music player je. to override proton HU codec and EQ (because it suck)
other than that, i have no problem lol

if got QR i mau juga..so i can sent him a coffee too

wow interesting..if manage do split window like tht fb did..even awesome..

quick feedback, installed ES effortlessly.

but my music player musicolet 'App not installed' .
maybe our HU too old. or i download wrong version?

It's my honour
It's created since myself and LaiN87 need to have it, so I'm glad enough if it works for u all too.
Please buy a coffee for whoever need coffee than me.

Also, I feel myself not much different than that fb guy if I take your coffee..

muncheno mentioned about the batch installation, I might take some time look into it when I got myself free time.

Your apk list seems similar like the one shared by others.
If you are using other apk be sure to doublecheck via VirusTotal.com
The ES have 1 malware, Autokit have 9 malware. (Maybe is false positive but just beware)

ES and musicolet i downoad from pureapk drop into virustotal is 0/60+ ...i think it is fine?

Yeah.. I did that too from PureAPK. Should be fine.
Always check if it has malware.

I tested your musicolet it was not installing in my X50 as well. Try to use a lower version and see.

Try to install as min as possible. I keep mine to only Carplay and Spotify. Install too much will cause the startup to be laggy.
I don't even install Waze.

maybe musicolet too new using some new API that doesnt work on android 5.1.

will looking into old version.

Can recommend a good wireless CarPlay dongle?

Yeh. Keep trying older version until reach one that you can use.

I bought this one. Wired. The box firmware can update so considered original? Because imitation can't upgrade. Will brick the device.
You can opt for the wireless one. But I feel wired is better and cheaper.

1. You still need to plug in to charge unless using wireless charger.
2. Wired more stable connection?
