PLS HELP! Can't use installed APK software(

[RS6]

Hello everybody!

Need help with the Vive Flow device. I installed several programs (.apk files) through the ADB utility. Everything went well. The programs are visible in the settings menu - file manager. There is an uninstall button, but there is nothing on the main launcher screen. And I can't run any of these programs. I want to try to install some alternative video player and also need a program to view photos. VIVEPORT VIDEO unfortunately does not support many different formats. Tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks for any advice!

Hi there. They should automatically appear in the Library area. If they don't appear, then giving the headset a reboot after you had installed the apk's should sort it.

Also try looking in the 'unknown' or '2d apps' areas of the launcher (there's a filter tab in the upper right).

Hi there Alex, I have a Vive Flow that I installed Total Commander on. The app shows under the Storage menu, but it does not show in the launcher.

The launcher does have a filter but only shows "Installed" and "Uninstalled".

 

Can you please help?

Rebooting is not solving the issue.

I’m suffering from the same: there’s now the only two options so you can’t launch anything you develop yourself except through Android studio. @Htc  is this your way of telling us that you don’t want any more apps developed for this headset which you’re still selling at $500 to unsuspecting victims?
