Tinkering with an Android TV

So I have an Android TV, this posts covers everything I have tried on it

Contents

Getting TV's IP Address
Enable Developer Settings
Enable ADB
Connect ADB
Manipulating Packages

IP-Address

These steps should be similar for all Android-TVs

Go To Settings
Go to Network
Advanced Settings
Network Status
Note Down IP-Address

The other option is to go to your router's server page and get connected devices

Developer-Settings

Go To Settings
About
Continuously click on the "Build" option until it says "You are a Developer"

Enable-ADB

Go to Settings
Go to Developer Options
Scroll until you find ADB Debugging and enable that option

Connect-ADB

Open Terminal (Make sure you have ADB installed)
Enter the following command adb connect <IP_ADDRESS>
To test the connection run adb logcat

Manipulating Apps / Packages

Listing Packages

adb shell
pm list packages

Installing Packages

adb install -r package.apk
