I will do a full write up of this soon. I did not create the app nor did I convert it. I downloaded the app from this forum and it was not working so I look at how it work. And try a little mod and then it works.
This is the link to the app.Code:https://www.mediafire.com/file/0ycoq106x0bbkbl/MH-STB-Emulator%28pro%29v0.7.06.zip"]https://www.mediafire.com/file/0ycoq106x0bbkbl/MH-STB-Emulator%28pro%29v0.7.06.zip
I will tell you how to side load it to your device. As of now my box does not access the store. 0 [all] apps, but if i power cycle the box, nd then go to the market it shows Netfix, hulu, and others, but if i try to move up or down, then all the apps disappear.
How to side load this app:
================
1) Format a USB stick to FAT32, then unzip this file into the root of that usb.
eg: E:\MH-STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06
2) plug the usb stick into the back usb port on your avov
3) goto Settings, then App Manager, you will see the USB storage, with the app name & logo.
4) just click to install.
I was trying to find out how they made this app, but have failed to do that, i have a general idea, but can't put it into practice.
they say a .gpk file is a compress .apk file, and it contains the data & obb directory for that app.
I can now find the data & obb folders of any android app that creates them, but how do you compress them.
I try to uncompress this .gpk file, but can seem to find out how they compress it.

Modification i did:
===========
inside the directory there are a few files that tells avov what to do. There are two files that can be modify, but i just modify one, then cleanup the other one.
these files are:
game.ini
<name of app>.xml eg: MH-STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06.xml
MH-STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06.xml
=====================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Files>
<item type="gpp" path="STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06.apk" offset="0" size="11311946"></item>
</Files>
game.ini
=====
[MH-STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06]
package=com.mvas.stbemu.pro
version=0.7.6
As you can see the .xml file is looking for the .apk file, but if you look in the folder, only file is has is the .gpk file, so i just replace .apk with .gpk, and that fix it.
my question was why did they have .apk file in the first place, does that mean, after it uncompress then it will be an .apk file?
or is it that i should rename the .gpk file to an .apk file?
too many question and no answer what so ever.
Thanks.
MH-STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06.xml
=====================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Files>
<item type="gpp" path="STB-Emulator(pro)v0.7.06.gpk" offset="0" size="11311946"></item>
</Files>
1) What other type does this .xml file support? what does each type means?
"gpp" means that you are expecting a .gpk file.
2) What type represent an .apk file? "app" or "apk"??????
Now another mistry:
=============
You can install an app, on android that allows you to install and run .gpk files, i posted a video once that shows how it's done, can't remember the name now, just google/youtube it.
that means if someone can reverse the process then we can convert .apk files to .gpk file.
It seems .gpk files are mostly for games.
So does that means we can install games to our avov?
It would be better if AVOV allows us to put android's 4.4.4 on these device and be done with it.
I did everything you said and mine wont download
The Avov does not like APK files...to install them...it has to be converted to a GPK file....................There was a tool called GPKMaker floating around a few years ago that AVOV claimed would converrt the APK to GPK .....in fact Avov was doing it for some apps and then let it go by the wayside ...........this is long ago history......
Here is a how to using GPKmaker.....
