Is it possible to install an apk on Roku TV?

  • I have not purchased the Smart TV yet, I am looking for a 32-inch full HD television that allows me to install an apk application. I would like to know if it can be installed on televisions with Ruku operating system even through a Chromecast, is it possible to install one on Roku televisions with Chromecast or Amazon Fire?

    In general, if an app isn't available in the "Streaming Store", there's a reason.  A quick search turns up some red flags about the legitimacy of this "service".  You can't add Android apps (APKs) to a Roku device (if that's what you're asking).  What you do with a Chromcast or Fire TV device connected to a Roku TV is independent of the Roku TV.

  • I can add that Roku doesn't support the Chromecast protocol. They do support other casting protocols. Some Android phones (Google Pixel, many no-name basic brands that use basic Android) will not see a Roku as a castable device.

  • Lots of cool apps being shared here bro, good stuff! BTW, if anyone’s looking for a simple way to unlock premium skins in ML on iOS, you can check it out here. Works smooth and easy.
