Summary: How to update the Velocity APK on the VTP-1000VL

1. Preparation

• Download and install Platform Tools for your OS (Windows, Mac, or Linux)
• Download the APK from soon to be provided link
• Ensure your computer and the Velocity Touch Panel are on the same network

Note: The instructions below should work for both Windows and macOS.

2. Connect with ADB

• For Windows users, I would recommend extracting the Platform Tools folder to the root C: drive. 
• Move the APK into the Platform Tools folder as well. This will make locating the file easier.

3. Connect with ADB

• Windows: In a terminal window (Command Prompt on Windows), navigate to the Platform Tools folder you have extracted:
  

  • cd c:\platform-tools

    • Hint: You can right-click the folder location and click copy to make this faster
    • 

• Type the following command:

  • adb connect [touch panel IP address]:5555

  • Example:

    • adb connect 10.0.0.80:5555

4. Install the APK

• In the terminal window, type the command

  • adb install -r --user 0 "path to file"

    • Replace the "path to file" with the actual path to the file. You can use the above-mentioned Hint to copy the file path. 
  •  Windows - If you have placed the APK in the platform-tools folder:

    adb install -r --user 0 c:\platform-tools\velocity.apk

  • macOS:

    adb install -r --user 0 /users/username/Downloads/velocity.apk

5. Notes

• You do not need to uninstall the APK first.
• Installing the new APK will over-write the old APK.
• No programming/custom UI's will be lost. All settings are stored in a separate file.
