How to switch off the OS

I just downloaded this android os for my raspberry pi3 and installed successfully.

I have just two questions to start:

1) how do I switch off from android ? (I had to switch off the hardware)

2) how can I tranfer apk from one andro device to raspbarry? ( via usb I didn't succed)

Thank you. Very happy to have met you! This android os for my raspbarry pi3 was one of my dream.

    1) Use preinstalled "PowerOff" application
    2) Check out https://help.emteria.com/kb/devices-rpi-3#installing-new-applications

    Dooh! My raspberry is dead! It doesn't work anymore even with linux ( I have used linux for month with this hardware with no issues) I tryed android and I killed the hardware!

    How is it possible? Just becouse I turned off the power supply since I could not find any other way to swith off via software?

    Very bad! And a very sad Sanday for me!

    Dear Alberto,

    I don't think it is caused by the software, as I am using emteria.OS on multiple devices for over a year now. Pulling the power cable might be dangerous, but I wouldn't expect it to kill the hardware. From my experience, electrostatic discharge is more likely to be dangerous, but we had this case only once.

    Hi kakkov, thank you for your answer. No could not be electrostatic discharge, since the harware was securely closed inside its plastic box ( has been there ever since I did purchesed the board and the enclosure).

    Now I need to buy a new pi3 to continue to experiment with the android os.

    Could you please give me some tips on how to load on the pi3 my apk? ( tryed with the usb without any success)

    You can use ADB over Ethernet: https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/90001546/task/android/t_faq_connect_with_adb_android.htm

    OK, I finally got my new RBP3 board and tested with the with the Andro memory card. Everything seems working correctly and all the software I had downloaded prior the hardware failure is still there and working!

    Now I would like to buy the licence and keep everything as it is ( no new installation) How do I proceed?

    Thank you for the help.

    I've seen in our database that you were successful with a purchase? Just in case somebody else also needs it:
    * the license can be purchased at our homepage https://emteria.com/#pricing
    * after the purchase, the activation code can be used in emteria.OS without new installation
