Hello,
I am trying to run home assistant or fully kiosk on an old android 5 tablet (ASUS ZenPad 8, base model) to use as dashboard control around the house, but i cannot install the app through google play store since the version is so outdated. The only way i can run it is through a browser, but it is not fullscreen and cannot have any configuration like always on display. I couldn't find anything on the internet and decided to reach out here. Any ideas?
Sorry if this is not the right channel, i am new here and still learning things.

I was the one actully droping the version but my memory is bad ^^.

like notification through FCM, localisation, ...
You can check the companion app docs it is written what is the differences between full and minimal.
