Stick all your apps into dropbox - copy the url from dropbox paste it into AFVNEWS url shortener and it will give you a pin code - Type that into downloader it will install the app tales all of 1 minute.
No that does not work for all apps and is a general way to install apks no different to app2fire tv etc ..
As I said certain apps will not work. If I rip an app from one fire tv to another it does not always work. Amazon are applying some content management verification. You can use ADB , you can use downloader , you can transfer app all you want - it will not work. When you rip the app from the fire tv they are adding something to it , on any other device you attempt to install it they will detect it and tell you the app is not owned.
Also downloader will not work if the app is dependant on Google services, you then need to install Google services which may very likley brick you're device. This is not an issue on Chromecast Tv ,it is with fire tv.
Most app generally work.
If anyone doesn't believe me , I'll give them a challenge - try to install the Fubo Tv TV app on your fire Tv , without changing region on your Amazon account.
Amazon devices to me have less compatibility than standard Android TV. Native Android tv is much easier you can get pretty much any APK and sideload it to the Chromecast TV with no hassle. They have Google services already, so anything you get on APK pure , mirror etc will nearly work.
I installed FuboTv on my friends Chromecast in about 1 minute. For Fire TV took me about an hour messing around with region settings and as I had to open up the app store to get it, I got hit with Amazon updates which killed my custom launcher. I tried to avoid this on device 2 , however cannot be sideloaded.
