How to install apps from USB device for TVpad M233 (TVpad2)

If you may have noticed, TVpad2 (TVpad M233) normally does not support apps installation from an USB device. However, there is a way to install TVpad apps from an USB device. Follow the instructions below in order to install TVpad apps from an USB device. A couple of HK livestreams apps and HK video on demand app can not be find in the TVpad store, so you have to install them from an USB device. If you don't care about the HK apps, then you don't need to do this. All the other apps can be found in the TVpad store. See the video below of the apps installation progress.
