Apps and Launcher on Android Based Set Top Box

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to the Caribbean and had a set top box installed along with an antenna. The system runs on Android 7.0 but the provider has their own interface installed by default. The box supports wi-fi, bluetooth and a range of other features that are normally hidden in the default interface. The only part of stock Android interface that's visible is the settings menu.

I managed to install Chrome with a USB drive and it's working perfectly fine. The issues I'm having however are two-fold:

1) How can I launch apps once installed without a regular interface? Currently the only solution I have is to install the app every time and then open it from the option after installation.

2) Can I install a more user friendly launcher that launches by default while still having access to the original interface to actually watch TV?

Thanks in advance!
