If I recall correctly, it was either the Android SDK preview image or the first OTA from http://gtvhacker.com/index.php/ADT-1_Android_TV#Updates

I didn't turn on my OUYA for quite some time so I didn't test the OTAs. Although, I may test the newest Leanback Launcher on my phone running a self-made Android L port as soon as I've got some free time.

Hi all,

Please can someone tell me what I would need to do in order to get the Leanback Launcher to work on my Minix Neo X8 running KitKat?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
I can upload a copy later, or you can pull it from the system dump. its Backdrop.apk
[Google Chromecast] Ryan 619:
Please upload!

There you go.
[Google Chromecast] Ryan 619:
Thanks.

Pull it from the latest GTV OTA dump last night.

Backdrop app doesn't do anything after it's been installed?

Installed LeanbackLauncher.APK and tried to launch it, but it kept crashing. Any idea how to get it working?

Basically, I'm looking for is this: http://www.android.com/new/images/tv/smarter-2.jpg
[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
Backdrop is under day dreams.

What you are actually wanting is the leanback launcher. I haven't messed with trying to get it working on phones or tablets. Really don't plan to either. Sorry :/

This is what backdrop looks like (Pictures rotate automatically after some time):

[Google Chromecast] Ryan 619:
Any chance I can get you to see if you can have a look at getting it up and running? Would be great to see it in action.
[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
From the logcats I've seen it seems to be because of missing APIs/Classes that are in 5.0 and not KitKat
[Google Chromecast] Ryan 619:
So no chance of getting this working presently?

I would try install Android L onto my X8, however no ROM dump exists at this point that would support the device.
[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
Most likely not. Sorry

AndroidTV Remote receiver

Out of curiousity, has anyone with an ADT-1 looked at how the receiving side of the Android TV Remote (com.google.android.tv.remote) works? Does it register as an input device, or is there a (hidden) receiver app, or is the receiver activity baked into the open source portion of the OS?

TV UI looks compressed/ portrait mode

Leanback Launcher in Android TV.

I have installed this apk on my board but problem is the UI is not fully covered the display and UI looks like portrait mode.

I tried changing manifest file for landscape mode also but no use still same effect.

Any changes i've to do get full screen TV UI on my board.
[Google Chromecast] supremazy:
How can you install the leanback launcher ? I have cx919 hardware and i can't install the apk ? It says "install failed shared user incompatible".
[Google Chromecast] Narratordgeek:
Sign the apk with your hardware keys .
[Google Chromecast] supremazy:
How can i do that ? Can you do this for me ? I'm really noob at Android developing.
[Google Chromecast] Narratordgeek:
Use following command to sign the apk

java -jar signapk.jar platform.x509.pem platform.pk8 lean.apk lean_sign.apk

SignApk jar source code at build/tools/signapk and platform keys are at build/target/product/security/

build the jar and try it out.

[Google Chromecast] I.Am.Nam:
I successfully installed lean back launcher on my Ouya running Lollipop using ZipSigner from the play store and using platform keys.
[Google Chromecast] supremazy:
I have CX919 Android Stick. Can you send me the platform keys ? Or where can i download ?
[Google Chromecast] I.Am.Nam:
Everything you need is in the app itself. Download the apk, download the app from Play Store then sign it using the instructions within the app.

Also, you need lollipop to run this

[Google Chromecast] Narratordgeek:
Even I have installed the apk but my UI looks portrait mode , how about your's?? is it covered full screen?? Do u did something extra??
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Just a note here...

It seems Google has released the AndroidTV Launcher to the Play Store for better and easier upgrade support and feature additions.

Of course it is only available and compatible with AndroidTV devices so don't go expecting to try it on your phone or tablet.
[Google Chromecast] Bright09:
Can only hope someone could make a mod for it :)
[Google Chromecast] maraca:
Hi, do you share the launcher working for ouya please?

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
You really wouldn't want to run it on any device that is not an AndroidTV...

It is such a featureless and stripped down launcher that it would never work for a Phone or tablet anyway.

Hey, I can't seem to be able to get the launcher apk to install on my Nexus 7 2012, even after signing it. Can anyone help me?
[Google Chromecast] saunderez:
I've been working on fixing the layout issues with Leanback Launcher and have made a bit of progress. Orientation is now correct and status bar is hidden. Next step is to get Immersive Mode working to hide the nav bar and then work on tile size and spacing. First time I've pulled apart an Android app but I'm learning a lot. WIP as displayed on Nexus 7 below.
[Google Chromecast] I.Am.Nam:
What did you change exactly?
[Google Chromecast] saunderez:
Not a whole lot so far. Enabled screen size and orientation configChanges in AndroidManifest.xml and forced orientation to landscape.

Edited configChanges

Force landscape

This didn't have the desired result but I kept digging and found the parent style was a dialog. Changed McLauncherTheme in styles.xml to a more fullscreen friendly theme.

Getting immersive mode working is harder than I imagined, it's getting real crashy when I add the code to do it so I need to do some more investigation into that.
[Google Chromecast] saunderez:
Well I got Immersive Mode working after a lot of messing around and a bit of trial and error.

As displayed on my Nexus 5.

You can't see it in that picture but there's still a problem with padding but that should be relatively easy to fix by modifying the style.xml. What I can do is fairly limited as I'm only able to edit the smali code, no amount of trying could get converted Java to recompile so I've given up on that idea entirely.

[Google Chromecast] saunderez:
LeanbackMod v1.0

A quick and dirty mod of Leanback Launcher to make it run properly on other devices. Requires Android 5.0+

Changes

- Fixed portrait display when in landscape (forced landscape)

- Enabled immersive mode

Known Issues

- Clicking Notification icon causes launcher to crash

To Do

- Fix Preparing Recommendations loading

- Modify display layout to better suit non-GoogleTV devices

- Fix notifications icon

You will probably need to sign the APK with platform keys in order for it to install (I used ZipSigner available on Play Store)

First of all, thank you for your work with the launcher.

I have a Nexus 5 with Android 5.0.1. I downloaded you APK and signed it using ZipSigner with the "platform" option, but i still only get "The app has not been installed". What am I doing wrong?
[Google Chromecast] Grishka11:
It's been a while since my last post. Now that I have the "final" version of the Android TV ROM on it thanks to OTAs, how do I do a full dump of the /system partition to post it here?
[Google Chromecast] Bert98:
I guess adb pull /system would be the best way, if it's rooted and you can use adb

[Google Chromecast] BenjiHansell:
after signing the .apk you need to create a folder system/app/LeanbackMod and copy and paste the .apk there
[Google Chromecast] nasty000:
After signing the APK I moved it to "system/app/LeanbackMod", and after a reboot of the device, the app was installed. Thank you!

[Google Chromecast] GabbyWC:
How difficult would it be to modify the Leanback keyboard so that it could be used with universal remotes? I have a Google Nexus Player connected to a Flirc USB infrared dongle which I use with a Philips SRP5107 universal remote. I have my universal remote's main OK button mapped to emulate the ENTER key on a keyboard and this works fine in most cases but not with the Leanback keyboard. It isn't a problem with some apps like Netflix or Kodi that have their own keyboards but for the Leanback keyboard that's used in apps like Google Play and YouTube, pressing the OK button on a universal remote causes the keyboard to close off. This problem does not exist with the original Nexus Player remote's select button because it is context-sensitive. So what I'm basically asking is can this Leanback keyboard be modified to *not* close when it detects an external ENTER key being pressed? If I could use my universal remote's OK button to press the Leanback keyboard's on-screen keys, that would be ideal.

[Google Chromecast] troublebrewing:
I have been able to install the leanback launcher apk from the play store without issue on an Asus TF701 and HTC M8. The launcher has no touch input and only works with directional keys (keyboard on tablet or bluetooth remote).

It will properly list all the installed apps that have the appropriate manifest flags for android tv but launches them into mobile layout rather than leanback layout.

Does anybody know how to force android to launch apps in 'leanback mode'?

My first guess is a build.prop flag but I have glanced through the ADT-1 and Nexus Player build.props and nothing stuck out to me.

Also both devices get "unable to get recommendations" so the first row is gone. Unsure what causes this. I will try any suggestions to fix this.

Ultimately I would like to 'roll my own' androidTV device.

Maybe if you try to install some earlier apk of the factory version? There are sites like apkmirror.com that should help finding different versions.

Thanks for the Netflix link. I've downloaded many different AndroidTV apps from various sites, and a lot of them are working. I own a MK809iv chinese HDMI stick, and it runs Android 4.4. Many ot these TV versions requires Lollipop to run though.

Around 11PM last night my phone's screen suddenly just stopped "turning on" - I recently had to replace it but it's been perfect in the last month. The digitizer is still registering touches and I can hear the clicks and notifications, just no screen.

Can anybody tell me which cable is the one that feeds the signal to the screen? I've torn it apart twice now to the same result. Tried gently "bending" and wiggling the phone with the back off hoping to see something pop up on the screen but no dice.

No offense but your customers are at fault for trying Sprint dialer codes when they should have read (it has been discussed here before) that it will get stuck on the activating/provisioning screen when no longer on the Sprint network.

Hi all,

I hope you can help me because I'm having the following issues:

- When saying "Ok Google" or tapping the main screen to enter in search/command mode, I start speaking, the device starts converting voice to text and, sometimes (almost 50% of total times), it suddenly shows the "Disconnected" message with the cloud icon... But the device is still paired (I still receive notifications and so on).

- When I receive any message from Hangouts and I want to reply it through voice, an error message appears: "Can't reach Google at the moment". But if I select a default reply from the available list, I can reply with no problems...

Notifications are working great. It looks like it's related to voice search/commands...

I may have just had a weird experience, but I think FlashTool is able to use drivers without them actually being installed.
