Sideloading An APP
Download the APK file for the app you are wanting to install onto your PC.
*Note: in most cases you can download the APK directly from the software provider’s site. There are also several APK download sites that make these APKs available. For example, www.apkmirror.com and www.apkpure.com.
Place the Scepter or Solo in the charging cradle (connected via USB to PC) and enable File transfer mode:
- Swipe downward from top of screen.
- Tap USB for charging… then File transfers.
Open Windows File Explorer on the PC.
(*note: this can also be performed using a thumb drive inserted into the
charging cradle)
Copy your apk file(s) to: Scepter > Internal storage > Download.
Install the APK on the Scepter or Solo using the File Manager app:
- Tap the File Manager app to open
- Navigate to the Download folder
Tap on the APK file and choose Install.
Note: Once you have a unit configured the way you want it, the AML Clone app will allow you to make a clone file for your device (which will copy/clone all settings, applications, files. etc.) to be deployed onto your other devices. The AML Clone app is not just a backup and restore function, but a true cloning utility. The encrypted clone file can then be used to quickly image other devices with all the same applications, settings and credentials. See AML Cloning App* document.
