After downloading some apps including nexflix, I get an error that says I need the google play store. Amazon disney and chrome work perfectly! Thank you
Thank you very much for your informative video. My old treadmill died and I’m looking at a Nordic track. The company isn’t keen for anyone to install apps but I’m glad to see that there is a work around. 😊
I have the same machine but getting a “App won't run without google play services…” error. Can I ask if you came across this, and where did you get your APKs from? Cheers.
Yeah. I got as far as taskbar and chrome working but most apps won’t work and google play service errors. Any help or apk version numbers appreciated. Looks like I didn’t pin android settings so after iFIT updates I can’t get back in to see what version of android it now is or back into downloads. Will try again but particularly for proform 9000 keen to know what versions of what apps work.
I have a Proform Pro C22 - This is the best guide ever. I had to play with the settings of the task bar app to get it to show in the left hand corner and even though the apps were open, I had to go into the app list and from there pin to recent. Outside of those 2 things, this work AMAZINGLY well. A recent update has prevented the method of PIN for the lock screen from working. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!! With Andriod being open source, I am hope the legality side of what ifit is doing here get some traction so that others don't have to go through this.
It's impossible for any updates to make this approach not work. The button is hard wired into in the hardware, and will always initiate a factory reset. We are installing our software before the system does an update and blocks the access level needed. So, as long as you have task bar installed and a browser before ifit updates, you are in.
Thank you for sharing the video. Your trick works very well for every step. I had been struggling for few days looking at others video online, but your video really solve the issue immediately.
We need to boycott all iFit products until it enables us to use our machines to the greatest capacity. It needs to let us download apps and it needs to allow us to connect with Bluetooth. Until they do so, boycott all of their products and urge others to do so as well
Superb video, thanks! Everything worked perfectly. I would love to connect my laptop to the console as a second monitor so I could walk and work, but I don't suppose they included a port to connect to. 😀
Great video. I would suggest that you also add information on the firmware/hardware/brainboard in your bike too. I purchased my bike in 2020 and it's running android 5.1.1. My next door neighbor bought the same bike two months later and his came out of the box with android 7.1. After spending several hours arguing with tech support about this, I was told there's no way to flash the later version of android on my bike because of slightly different hardware. The reason I'm posting this is that the android version you are running has a bearing on whether those APK apps will install and run. Netflix is a perfect example because it took me a while to find a version that would run correctly under android 5.1.1.
Great Work! I now have the ability to cast to my big TV again. You did not mention that the setting control can be accessed by touching the clock and then access the cast display menu. You need an older firestick to do Miracast since it is disabled in newer models.
Hi Richard, I am trying to set up casting to my big screen from my Bike and would like to try your "touching the clock" method. Question1 : When you access the cast display menu by touching the clock, were you in Privileged Mode or regular mode. (i.e Do I have tor do all the factory reset and taskbar steps before I am able to setup casting?) Question 2. Could you explain a little more about the "touching the clock" method. Thanks
When you have the taskbar app installed, just slide the taskbar out. On the far right hand side you'll see the clock. Tap that and a screen will pop down from the top. On that screen is the cast icon I was not able to get the device to cast to my tv though.
Thanks for the great video! I was wondering if I could do something like this for my 2021 Commercial 1750 treadmill (with the smaller screen). It would be really awesome if I could use an app like Rouvy to control the treadmill and not need the iFit subscription.
Hi! This worked for a few months but now when I am watching Netflix and doing rides, it takes me back to Ifit and shuts out the ride and my Ifit goes black and then logs me out of Ifit so I lose my ride. I've done all the updates, I'm not sure what else to do. Do you know how to fix?
Privileged mode does not stay active anymore. After some time, privilege mode automatically times-out. After powering the machine down, the machine will not be in privileged upon next power-on boot-up. Will the taskbar, with all of the side-loaded apps, still boot-up and run automatically even though the console is booting up into NON-privileged mode?
Would the peloton app open as a window what I mean is, can you watch the app while the iFit numbers are in the background? I don't subscribe to iFit so I just go to the manual readings with the track overlay. It would be great to watch the peloton app over this so I could check on resistance and rpms. Thanks!
Do you have the way to get privilege mode on the new 2.0 ifit version since half their machines don’t get Netflix on them unless they are 2022-23 or newer and my 2019 won’t accept the Netflix full update
Thank you for this video it was very helpful. Is there a way to utilize split screen so you can watch the workout on one half the screen and Netflix, Disney, etc on the other half?? For s22i?
@@GearsAndTech an issue that I am coming across is when attempting to watch Netflix, etc iFIT will automatically switch back to the iFIT app after a few seconds. Any thoughts on this?
Can you watch the peloton app as an overlay? What I mean by that is, if you don't subscribe to ifit, you get the track with your resistance and rpm. I was wondering if you can still have that as a backdrop, then have the peloton app over top of it, only smaller so you could still see the numbers and adjust them during the workout? To me, if you can't see the NordicTrack numbers, how can you bike and follow the instructor on peloton when he or she asks you to pick up the rpms, or increase the resistance when you don't know the numbers? Thanks!
@@GearsAndTech thank you for your reply. Well, the cadence is easy to figure out because it's with the rhythm of the music. But it sure would be difficult to figure out the resistance without an on-screen display
Great video and very easy to follow, with full explanations. However, after a few days of this working well, I am unable to get any apps (Netflix, prime, chrome etc) to stay open, full screen for longer than a few seconds until iFit overrides them? Do you know why this might be and do you have a fix? TIA
I have a work around that will be coming out. It's still about a month away unfortunatly simply because I recently moved and have not setup my bike at the new house yet
So glad that the software is built upon Android. This all makes sense as I side-load apps on my Android phone occasionally. Now, question, if I am getting the bike new, then it would seem that I could start with the steps by not connecting to WiFi and not allowing for the update setup? Do the hack right out of the box and won't have to reset the device. Would this work? Also, it is the 2022 model. Will the hack void the warranty? Great video. Look forward to your response.
Worked great for the most part so thank you! I am able to access the pinned apps however, chrome won't stay open. It closes on its own after a few seconds of use. I also wasn't able to find an apk of TH-cam that would work after download. I tried 6 or so from pure apk. If you have work arounds for these issues I would owe you for life :) thanks!
I downloaded a TH-cam app from the amazon store. It works good But you can also open youtube from floating windows. That allows you to have it float overtop of everything. You can resize it as well so you can see part of the ifit app if you want
Follow up: After a few days it seems that any app I have open will start to close automatically and go to a black screen. I can launch it again but sometimes starts closing very quickly. I'm just guessing maybe it's iFit trying to load itself on top. But it never actually shows and if I try to open I fit when it does that it will never actually come up again. I will try and see if task manager might be able to help
I know this is an older video but just found it now, Any info on how to download Netflix or other apps when it says not enough storage available? I was able to download the taskbar but nothing else
The method to activate the privilege mode works. But as soon as you download any APK like TH-cam or Netflix the app won’t work. I get the massage saying “App wont run without googleplay services, which are not supported by your device.” Tried everything but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for this. I got a new rower and followed your instructions. Everything worked great! However, I was unable to pin the apps onto the taskbar. As a result, once I updated Ifit, all was lost. ☹️
Even if you can't pin them, you should still be able to open the taskbar and run the app. If not, try my new video with access to the unlock code, and make sure the settings on the taskbar are correct
I trying to figure out which video in newest. The both say 1year ago , I want to make sure I follow the most recent instructions. I just ordered my bike .
2 QUESTIONS- I HAVE THE NEW 1750 FOR 2022-FOLLOWED YOU AMAZING STEP BY STEP PROCESS. GOT ABOUT HALF OF THE APPS DOWNLOADED, AND THE TABLET PERFORMED AND AUTO ANDRIOD UP DATE ON ME AND LOCKED ME OUT OF PRIVLEDGE MODE. ALTHOUGH I CAN ACCESS THE APPS BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THE ORDER YOU SUGGESTED, I WASN'T DONE. THIS NEW VERSION DOESN'T HAVE A HARD RESET BUTTON ON THE CASING. SO SHOULD I JUST TRY TO UNLOCK THE PRIVLEDGE MODE AGAIN OR TRY AND FIND A WAY TO HARD RESET. -ALSO THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A DOWNLOAD FOR NETFLIX THATS UP TO DATE ON THE STEP 5 SUPPORT SITE. MY DOWNLOAD SAYS IT UNSUPPORTED.
As long as you have a browser installed you can keep sideloading apps through there If you want priveledged mode back I do have another video with a code generator that will unlock it without resetting
@@GearsAndTech can you link to the video? I can’t find it. And to add, seems like lots of folks here are having issues after successfully following all steps and then having iFit issues with it trying to take over the screen. No replies to those from you. I’m curious if you know what this issue is and if you know how to resolve?
I have a proform 22 studio bike and I need help putting these apps on. I'm sure everything is different now on how to do this. So can u please get back in touch with me to unlock these features
Hi, thank you for your videos! I was able to follow and download task bar but I really want peloton. It keeps saying can’t open file or problem parsing this file. Any ideas? Thanks
Great video! Thanks for this! QQ: Does casting work with this? I have a small screen treadmill which I used to be able to cast to my Roku TV. Can that be done with this hack? Thanks in advance..
I had it briefly but lost it. I believe it's due to having to check the box "enable wireless display" in privilege mode. Need to find a way to ensure it stays enabled after reboot.
Very helpful video, I’ve downloaded all the apps and they work fine. However, there is no taskbar showing despite downloading it. The taskbar icon is there & I enabled ‘launch on boot’. Is there something else I need to do for the taskbar to show up along the bottom?
Had this issue, you need to make sure the app has the correct permissions enabled. I can't remember how I got it to come up, exactly, but fiddling with the app will eventually pop up the permissions query. There were 2 or 3 separate instances where it asked for permissions.
Does your manual resistance work when using the peloton app on the bike? Mine won’t 😔 I need to use the bike in ifit manual mode and have peloton playing on a tablet for my resistance to work
Hi, I also tried it. With the Nordic Track ifit Rower. I have to switch between ifit app for changing resistance. @gearsandtech: Is there a possibility or an app for having a split screen or 2 parallel windows (like in chrome) for switching easy? Greetings from Germany!
I got this privilege mode working on my girlfriend’s Nordictrack bike. She’s now asked me to put it back the way it was to begin with. Is that done under the “backup & reset” section from the settings menu? Does that put the iFIT software back to factory reset?
Thanks. It's dumb that they lock us out of the system we bought. I want to just walk and watch some news or shows and their platform makes that difficult. Cheers.
thank you for all the info its much appreciated but I have a NordicTrack elite 1000 and its giving me a little trouble only because I'm not computer savvy . I really wish you could do a treadmill privilege install
I have a proform bike c22 , I got youtube and chrome to work just fine but disney, netflix and hbo all say they are not supported by device. Is there a way to fix this ?
I would like to link my phone to my proform pro c22 to be able to multi link my headphones so i can listen to Pandora and the bike audio simultaneously. Is that possible? Thanks!
Great question This would likely be a headphone thing and not a bike thing. Bike supports phone connection to track your heart rate from your watch. But it doesn't let you put music from your phone through to headphones
I have a nordictrack exp 10i and some of the steps you used I didn't see on my unit. I didn't see a way to pin the apps to the task bar, after updating I have no access to my apps.

Can this also be done to an older model?having a problem getting the app to work.
It should. It takes a bit of trial and error to get the right app for each processor and android version
I don’t want use the iFit app. Is it necessary to add the iFit app and updating once I get into privileged mode and load the other apps I want?

Hi! What’s the difference between apk and xapk, does that affect the downloads
Xapk is proprietary and not trustworthy. Stick with apk only
Thanks for this. I got a new rower and followed your instructions. Everything worked great! However, I was unable to pin the apps onto the taskbar. As a result, once I updated Ifit, all was lost. ☹️
Even if you can't pin them, you should still be able to open the taskbar and run the app.
If not, try my new video with access to the unlock code, and make sure the settings on the taskbar are correct
I tried it. And installed a taskbar. It seems to have worked! Fabulous help. Thank you
@@GearsAndTech I didn't find a video with access to the unlock code. Would you reply with that link? Thank you.

I trying to figure out which video in newest. The both say 1year ago , I want to make sure I follow the most recent instructions. I just ordered my bike .
How do you turn the locations services on for DIRECTV stream app
2 QUESTIONS- I HAVE THE NEW 1750 FOR 2022-FOLLOWED YOU AMAZING STEP BY STEP PROCESS. GOT ABOUT HALF OF THE APPS DOWNLOADED, AND THE TABLET PERFORMED AND AUTO ANDRIOD UP DATE ON ME AND LOCKED ME OUT OF PRIVLEDGE MODE. ALTHOUGH I CAN ACCESS THE APPS BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THE ORDER YOU SUGGESTED, I WASN'T DONE. THIS NEW VERSION DOESN'T HAVE A HARD RESET BUTTON ON THE CASING. SO SHOULD I JUST TRY TO UNLOCK THE PRIVLEDGE MODE AGAIN OR TRY AND FIND A WAY TO HARD RESET.
-ALSO THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A DOWNLOAD FOR NETFLIX THATS UP TO DATE ON THE STEP 5 SUPPORT SITE. MY DOWNLOAD SAYS IT UNSUPPORTED.
As long as you have a browser installed you can keep sideloading apps through there
If you want priveledged mode back I do have another video with a code generator that will unlock it without resetting
@@GearsAndTech can you link to the video? I can’t find it. And to add, seems like lots of folks here are having issues after successfully following all steps and then having iFit issues with it trying to take over the screen. No replies to those from you. I’m curious if you know what this issue is and if you know how to resolve?
I have a proform 22 studio bike and I need help putting these apps on. I'm sure everything is different now on how to do this. So can u please get back in touch with me to unlock these features
Watch all my videos. Process is the same now.
does this unlock the training videos?
No
@@GearsAndTech Is there any way of unlocking those?
Hi! Do you have any advise if I can’t get it to reset after pressing the button?
Hi, thank you for your videos!
I was able to follow and download task bar but I really want peloton. It keeps saying can’t open file or problem parsing this file.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Where is this hoke in the new 2450 tread ?…do I need to have IFIT activated to do this ? TIA
No ifit needed
Thanks
Great video!
Thanks for this!
QQ: Does casting work with this? I have a small screen treadmill which I used to be able to cast to my Roku TV. Can that be done with this hack?
Thanks in advance..
I saw the option to cast but did not try to actually do it
@@GearsAndTech could you please do that and share your findings?
I'll add it to the list of things to make a video for
Yes this will allow you to turn on casting!!!
I had it briefly but lost it. I believe it's due to having to check the box "enable wireless display" in privilege mode. Need to find a way to ensure it stays enabled after reboot.
Very helpful video, I’ve downloaded all the apps and they work fine. However, there is no taskbar showing despite downloading it.
The taskbar icon is there & I enabled ‘launch on boot’.
Is there something else I need to do for the taskbar to show up along the bottom?
Had this issue, you need to make sure the app has the correct permissions enabled. I can't remember how I got it to come up, exactly, but fiddling with the app will eventually pop up the permissions query. There were 2 or 3 separate instances where it asked for permissions.
Does your manual resistance work when using the peloton app on the bike? Mine won’t 😔 I need to use the bike in ifit manual mode and have peloton playing on a tablet for my resistance to work
Hi, I also tried it. With the Nordic Track ifit Rower. I have to switch between ifit app for changing resistance. @gearsandtech: Is there a possibility or an app for having a split screen or 2 parallel windows (like in chrome) for switching easy? Greetings from Germany!
Hey, It’s all worked great up to the part where you Goto general settings and look for launch on boot, I’ve spent two hours looking for this, help 👍
Same
Great video but tried adding some apps and it gives me a “problem parsing the package.” On all of them :(( anyone know how to fix this?
I got this privilege mode working on my girlfriend’s Nordictrack bike. She’s now asked me to put it back the way it was to begin with. Is that done under the “backup & reset” section from the settings menu? Does that put the iFIT software back to factory reset?
Yes. That should reset it.
Is this work on the new S27i aswell?
Don’t see a launch on boot in my settings
Can i do this to my nordic track elite 10.9?
If it has a screen and runs ifit then yes
Thanks. It's dumb that they lock us out of the system we bought. I want to just walk and watch some news or shows and their platform makes that difficult. Cheers.
Yes does not make any sense.
I know right. Lol.
You did it great video!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this also work for the s10i?
thank you for all the info its much appreciated but I have a NordicTrack elite 1000 and its giving me a little trouble only because I'm not computer savvy . I really wish you could do a treadmill privilege install
I have a proform bike c22 , I got youtube and chrome to work just fine but disney, netflix and hbo all say they are not supported by device. Is there a way to fix this ?
I would like to link my phone to my proform pro c22 to be able to multi link my headphones so i can listen to Pandora and the bike audio simultaneously. Is that possible? Thanks!
Great question
This would likely be a headphone thing and not a bike thing.
Bike supports phone connection to track your heart rate from your watch. But it doesn't let you put music from your phone through to headphones
I have a nordictrack exp 10i and some of the steps you used I didn't see on my unit. I didn't see a way to pin the apps to the task bar, after updating I have no access to my apps.
When I click on Taskbar I don't have general settings to make launch on boot ...any other ideas ...am on echelon
