Sideload Android APKs on Chromebooks with ADB and Linux (No Dev Mode)

The article explains how to sideload Android APKs onto a Chromebook using official ADB-based methods from the Linux development environment or Android Studio, detailing steps to enable Linux, enable ADB debugging, install adb, connect to the device, and install the APK (or run it in an Android emulator). It notes that this path works on Chromebooks released after 2020, emphasizes verifying APK safety since apps outside the Play Store aren’t Google-verified, and offers two install routes: direct adb install or using Android Studio with an emulator.

Galaxy’s One UI 8.5 adds GUI Linux Terminal and full storage access

Samsung’s Galaxy devices on One UI 8.5 gain a significantly upgraded Linux Terminal that can run graphical Linux apps, shows access to all shared storage folders (DCIM, Movies, Android, etc.), and is operable via ADB commands; the feature aligns with Android 16 QPR2’s graphical-apps support, but enabling Terminal now requires ADB and the Developer Options search for Terminal is removed.

Android 14 introduces battery health monitoring feature.

Android 14 has added APIs that allow apps to display key battery details such as manufacturing date, date of first use, charging policy, state of health, cycle count, and charging status. An open-source app called Batt can show the number of charging cycles undertaken on the phone, and more details can be accessed by granting the requisite BATTERY_STATS permission through ADB. The feature is not yet ready for public release, but the existence of the APIs indicates that Google is working on it and intends to release it someday.

"Streamline Your Phone: Delete These Apps Now"

Bloatware apps on Android phones can be uninstalled using the Settings app or the Google Play Store. However, if the app is integrated with the system, it can only be disabled. Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a powerful command-line tool that can remove such apps, but it requires downloading files, enabling USB debugging, and executing command lines. ADB can permanently delete the app from the phone's memory.
