How to side load third party apk on HTV5/A2

Hi all,
I was a long time TVPad user. Due to the recent issue with that box, I finally purchased an A2 (American version of HTV5) box.
Everything works with their standard app store apps. However, I would like to install apps outside of their app store. (e.g. showbox)
May I ask what is the best way?
If there is an existing thread, please point me to the right way.
Thanks in advance.

    copy the showbox apk in the usb drive and find the app installer inside the a2 box. it will install it. u can also install the es file explorer app from the a2 app store. that will work too.

  • @tylerlee, es file explorer sucks, I would recommend 小白TV Files Manager, it's much better.

    It works for me on A2. I installed the following file:

  • Has anyone gotten SHOWBOX to work on HTV2? My said cant connect to the internet. And if you got it to install and work, how do you navigate it? Air mouse or keyboard?
