[Android Head-Units] vilden19:
There must be a root directory for the carpuride w101 and a path to install gemini.apk.

Please let me know if any of these plans seem feasible.

To install Google Gemini on W101:

Method 1: USB Transfer and Direct Installation

Connect tablet: Use a USB cable to connect your Android auto carplay device to your Windows 11 PC.
Allow file transfer: On your w101, you may see a prompt asking you to choose the USB connection mode. Select 'File Transfer' or 'MTP'.
Locate the APK: Use Windows File Explorer to find the .apk file on your PC.
Copy to your tablet: Copy the .apk file and paste it into a folder on your device's internal storage or SD card
Find and install: On your device, use a file manager app to navigate to the location where you copied the .apk file. Tap on the file to start the installation process.
Important Note: Before you can install, you'll need to enable installation from unknown sources.
Go to your tablet's Settings > Security (or Apps & Notifications).
Look for "Unknown Sources" and toggle it on

Method 2: Using ADB (Android Debug Bridge)

This method is slightly more technical but offers more flexibility.
Set up ADB:
Download the Android SDK Platform Tools from the official Android Developers website: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Open a command prompt or terminal in the extracted folder.
Enable USB debugging on your tablet:
Go to Settings > About Tablet (or About Device).
Tap on "Build Number" 7 times to enable Developer Options.
Go back to Settings > Developer Options.
Turn on "USB Debugging".
Connect your tablet: Connect your tablet to your PC via USB.
Verify connection: In your command prompt/terminal, type adb devices. You should see your tablet listed.
Install the APK: Type the following command, replacing 'path_to_apk' with the actual file path of your APK:
adb install path_to_apk

Method 3: Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)

This is relatively simpler if your Windows 11 PC has the updated requirements.
Install WSA:
Open the Microsoft Store.
Search for "Windows Subsystem for Android".
Click "Get" or "Install".
Set up WSA:
Open the Windows Subsystem for Android app after installation.
Enable "Developer Mode".
Note down the IP address displayed in the settings.
Connect with ADB:
Open a command prompt/terminal.
Type adb connect [IP address] (replace [IP address] with the one noted).
Install the APK: Follow step 5 from Method 2 above.

PART TWO
The instructions won't work directly if the w101 only has USB and Bluetooth connections, and the APK is on my Pixel 7a. Here's some other alternative approaches:

Challenges
Android-to-Android file transfer: Directly transferring files between Android devices typically requires both devices to support File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over Bluetooth or specialized apps designed for peer-to-peer file sharing.
ADB limitations: ADB, used in Method 2, generally requires a USB connection to a computer to work.

Alternative Solutions:
Cloud Storage:
Upload the APK file from Pixel 7a to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
Download the APK file onto tablet from the same cloud service.
Install it as described in Method 1 of the previous instructions.
File Sharing Apps:
Install a file-sharing app that works over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct on both your Pixel 7a and your tablet. Some popular options include:
ShareIt
Xender
Nearby Share (built-in to newer Android devices)
Use the app to transfer the APK file from Pixel to tablet.

Email:
Attach the APK file to an email and send it to yourself from Pixel 7a.
Open the email on your tablet and download the attached APK.
Then, follow the installation process from Method 1.
Which Method is Best?
Cloud Storage: Easiest if w101 had a cloud app
File Sharing Apps: Good option if you need to transfer files frequently, especially larger ones.
Email: Quick and simple for transferring a single APK file.
