  • Both are valid commands.

    adb install is for individual apk files.

    adb sideload is for compressed zip files to load images and system files that usually include apps.

    But yes, I did conflate the two and forgot the command syntax.

    Either way, I don’t fully understand the hate for the word “sideload”. I don’t find it has a negative implication, but I can see how some other people might.

    Installing apps from Aurora, F-Droid, etc. are not “sideloading”, though, and that does bug me how people conflate the two like the Play Store is the only valid way of installing apps on your phone. If you’re installing them from within an environment on your phone, it shouldn’t be called that. Only when you’re loading apps from a PC via adb should it be called “sideloading”.
