Cricfy TV for LG Smart TV (webOS)
LG Smart TVs run webOS, not Android — so the Cricfy TV APK cannot be sideloaded directly. Here are the two methods that actually work in 2026, ranked by reliability.

Why Cricfy TV can't install directly on LG webOS
webOS is a Linux-based operating system built by LG — it is not Android, so it cannot run Android APK files, and the LG Content Store does not list sideloaded apps for the same real-time broadcast retransmission reason Cricfy TV is not on the Google Play Store. The two workarounds below cover almost every LG TV made since 2018 (webOS 4.0 and above).
Method 1 — Screen mirror from your phone (fastest, no extra hardware)
LG TVs support Miracast-based screen mirroring out of the box. Install Cricfy TV on your Android phone first, then mirror the phone screen to the TV.
- Install Cricfy TV on your Android phone. Use the Download button on the homepage — 24 MB, no login required.
- Open LG's Screen Share. On the TV remote, press Home → Screen Share (or Settings → All Settings → Connection → Screen Share).
- Enable mirroring on your phone. Samsung: Settings → Smart View. Other Android phones: swipe down → Screen Cast / Smart View → select your LG TV's name.
- Open Cricfy TV and pick a match. The stream mirrors to the TV in real time, typically 100-200 ms behind the phone.
- Lock phone orientation to landscape for a full-screen TV picture (Cricfy TV Settings → Lock landscape).
Mirroring uses your phone's CPU to decode the stream, so battery drains faster — keep the phone plugged in for long matches.
Method 2 — Add a cheap Android TV / Fire TV Stick (best long-term)
Plug any Android TV box or Fire TV Stick into an HDMI port on your LG TV, and Cricfy TV installs natively with full remote control, 4K decoding done by the box itself (not your phone), and zero mirroring lag.
- Buy any Fire TV Stick 4K/4K Max, Chromecast with Google TV, Mi Box S or Nvidia Shield.
- Plug it into a free HDMI port on the LG TV, switch the TV input to that HDMI source.
- Follow the Firestick / Android TV install guide — same steps apply to any of these boxes.
- Set the box as your TV's default input via LG's Home Dashboard for one-button access next time.
This route costs roughly ₹2,000-4,000 one-time but gives you native Cricfy TV performance — full 4K @ 60fps, no phone battery drain, and the TV remote (or a paired one) controls playback directly.
Which LG TV models are compatible?
| webOS 4.0 – 6.0 (2018-2021 models) | Screen mirroring works; some older Miracast stacks are choppy — Method 2 recommended |
|---|---|
| webOS 22 / 23 / 24 (2022-2024 models) | Screen mirroring is smooth up to 1080p; add an Android TV box for 4K |
| webOS 25+ (2025-2026 models) | Best native mirroring performance; still no APK sideload support |
LG Smart TV troubleshooting
Screen Share doesn't find my phone
Make sure both the TV and phone are on the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network with client isolation enabled). Restart the TV's Wi-Fi: Settings → Network → Wi-Fi Connection → toggle off/on.
Mirrored video is laggy or pixelated
Move the phone closer to the TV / router, or switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi if your router supports it. If lag persists, Method 2 (Android TV box) removes mirroring lag entirely.
No sound when mirroring
Check the LG TV's audio output isn't set to an external soundbar that's powered off. Settings → Sound → Sound Out → select the TV speakers to test.
Can I use webOS's own browser to stream instead?
LG's webOS browser is heavily sandboxed and blocks most HLS players from initializing — it is not a reliable path. Stick to Method 1 or 2 above.
