What I do to install apps, is first to get file manager. Then use cloud storage. I use one drive. It’s the one from Microsoft that used to sync with Samsung. Anyway, I upload all the apps I like on the cloud. Then you can copy them on to firestick or ONN box through the file manager. U can also use [dropbox.com](http://dropbox.com) or any other cloud compatible with file manager.

With apps updating so often, I found it a waste of time and space. I just get what I need from Troy’s 🧰 Toolbox. If it’s not an app Troy has then I have other reliable 'droid sources.

I use [Uptodown.com](http://Uptodown.com) to install old versions of Surfshark and Stremio in Downloader that accepts V5.0 Fire Stick OS. Best to use a keyboard and mouse to speed up entry of the http:// address needed. Use a computer to get the address for the version. Downloader is slow to load the page and at the bottom is a download button wait for it to stop spinning. Couple times I had to click “ALL VARIANTS” button and select the 32 bit version.

Anyone have a location for getting downloader APK file? Many storage locations integrate the file into their software catalog. Am just looking for an APK and nothing else.

Ok, so I’m obviously having all sorts of issues, but for the time being, I updated my Downloader and am trying to reinstall Stremio from the Toolbox on my Formuler Z11 Pro Max and all I get is “Connecting…” then that “An unknown error has occured. Check your URL and connection”. I’ve tried both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions.

My VPN is off, Kill switch is off, I’ve tried rebooting the box and my wifi. Is this a Downloader issue or Stremio…???

Ok @sherbear97124 , the following is just an FYI…so you know what your dealing with…

The **Formuler Z11 Pro Max** is equipped with a **64-bit** processor, specifically the **RealTek RTD1319C** which uses the **ARMv8-A (64-bit)** architecture.

➡ However, despite having 64-bit hardware, the device currently ➡ ➡ **only supports 32-bit (ARMv7) applications**. This is a limitation of the firmware rather than the hardware itself, meaning users cannot install native 64-bit (ARM64) APKs.

and before you reboot…try to clear all the cashe–NOT DATA–that you can where ever you can…

To clear the cache on a **Formuler Z11 Pro Max** , navigate to **Home \> Settings \> Apps \> MYTVOnline 3** (or your specific application) and select **Clear cache**.

- **Warning** : Avoid selecting **Clear data** unless necessary, as this will reset the app to its default state, deleting favorites, login credentials, and watch history.

No dice. I did all the cache clearing, rebooted, tried the 32 bit one again, and I still keep getting the same error. I’m able to download other things from Downloader. I was able to successfully download Aptoide with no problem. For whatever reason, it will not connect to the Stremio downloads.

I tried on my 2nd Formuler Z11 and got the same result.

Going to the site through the browser on my Formuler box only gives me the option to download the Windows version. Do I just go through the Google Play store?

No. It doesn’t even show it.  
I’m beginning to think that I’m not meant to use Stremio lol

Did you install the google play store app like it suggests in the link I gave? Ok don’t have a formuler Z11 to test unfortunately.
