Editor's Overview

TV Remote is a remote controller application developed by Legvan, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.5 weighing in at 3.85 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 3.85 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Legvan" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

TV Remote turns your Android TV into a self-hosted web remote that any device on your local network can control — phone, tablet, laptop — without installing any app on the controller device.

HOW IT WORKS

The app runs a tiny HTTP server (port 8080) directly on your TV. Open http://<tv-ip>:8080 in any browser and you get a full remote control interface. Input is injected via ADB loopback — the app connects to the TV's own ADB daemon at 127.0.0.1:5555, so no root is required.

FEATURES

• D-pad navigation (up, down, left, right, OK/Enter)
• Back, Home, Menu buttons
• Volume up / down / mute
• Power / sleep toggle
• Channel up / down rocker + numeric keypad (0–9)
• Keyboard text input — type into any focused field on the TV
• Google Assistant launch
• Works from any browser on the same LAN — no app needed on the controller

PRIVACY

Completely local. No data leaves your network. No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics, no ads.

REQUIREMENTS

• Android TV or Google TV device (Android 8.0+)
• Developer Options enabled on the TV
• ADB over network enabled (TCP/IP mode, port 5555)
• Both the TV and the controller must be on the same LAN

The app starts automatically on boot and runs as a foreground service to stay alive when the TV is in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TV Remote free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does TV Remote require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is TV Remote safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Legvan. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update TV Remote?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
