It's great to see the first true Android TV ROM emerge, nice one [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION]. I had lost hope. I thought that the Leanback Launcher was closed source and therefore very difficult to work with? I might be completely wrong.

Is it possible to flash both gapps packages?
[Nexus Player Android Development] bkjolly:
Why would you even want to flash both Gapps Packages? Just use the leanback ones you have the option to change the default launcher under the home menu.
[Nexus Player Android Development] BenjiHansell:
doesn't the Leanback package only come with the more restricted Android TV Play Store?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I don't think it's possibly to have both apps but if they are different package ids it might be possible.
[Nexus Player Android Development] toe451:
Thanks for the Overscan ,it was much needed for my setup .. Thank you...
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Fix for the day dream wake bug coming down the line! Great job dhacker29! Heck at this rate all the bugs will be fixed in the next couple weeks.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Action123:
Works well! A little glitchy with the transitions, but nothing super noticable. Any ETA of if/when the mic will be working?
[Nexus Player Android Development] bkjolly:
You know the golden rule about ETA's right?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Action123:
Lemme rephrase then. Is there a possibility of the mic ever working or is that something that isn't doable? I haven't seen any aftermarket roms for the NP that have the mic working so it could just be that it's not a possible feature.
[Nexus Player Android Development] bkjolly:
He's working on it.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
He has to reverse engineer proprietary binaries.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I guess the second half of the bug fix didn't make tonight's nightly ? hopefully next nightly has that plus some other awesome stuff though ?
[Nexus Player Android Development] ste_mir:
Hi guys, looks like Nexus Player is finally coming to Italy, so I ordered mine a couple of days ago, and of course I was thinking about installing CM12 right out of the box... I have only seen a youtube video that shows that you need a mouse to use it, is this still true? I would 90% use the leanback launcher because I mainly will use the NP as Set Top Box - so I would like to be able to just use the remote all time...
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
That's not really true I saw that video and was kind of sad about how much misinformation was in it so I made my own video with more accurate information. As long as you flash the lean back gapps you won't need a mouse at all for basic functionality. I do highly recommend getting the app DroidMote which stimulates a mouse in your phone or tablet for when you do need a mouse for things (mostly sideloaded apps or non-android TV settings). Basic setup after flashing the lean back gapps requires no mouse at all.

Nexus Player with CM12.1 Review: https://youtu.be/a6kjrUDIVZM

On a slightly related note [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] can you fix the CyanogenMod Update menu on the Android TV settings to not need a mouse to click the download new update button.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nunyabiznas:
overscan

when i goto display on the latest nightly overscan is not there. just blank page. is there something special i have to turn on etc...

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

leanback gapps seems to have fixed it
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Trying to haven't found the fix yet
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Ok cool well as long as you're aware of the problem that's half the battle. Hopefully you don't have to redo the whole interface since it's only that one button that's not selectable for some reason.
[Nexus Player Android Development] metaljr81:
Have to use mouse to select the download button in the cyan updates screen... Can't do it with remote or nexus controller
[Nexus Player Android Development] nunyabiznas:
finally

i finally got thus just how i wanted. i had to install with leanback gapps first and install tv versions of netflix crackle and plutotv. then used esfile explorer to copy the folders from /system and /data for those apps and the tv youtube app and i took the overscan apk. and then reflashed everything with regular gapps and place those folders where they belong. so now i got leanback apps with overscan and full playstore. woohoo. awesome work on this rom. thanks a million.
[Nexus Player Android Development] ste_mir:
thanks for this, I will take a look to your video tomorrow.

What else do I need to know? I am totally new to Android TV and furthermore to CM on Android TV... Do you have any useful information? For example - I read that on NP someone usually sideloads apps: what's the purpose of this? Can't I simple install them? I also new that there was an APK that made you capable of installing any app on Android Tv... What is this APK?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Sometimes you can't install them from the play store because they aren't officially compatible that's why you sideload then. Using es explorer's ftp server feature you can easily copy apks to your internal storage. An APK is an Android App kind of like a .exe file on windows.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Yeah we we're talking about that above and dhacker29 is in the process of fixing it.
[Nexus Player Android Development] thunderthumbs02:
Compatible Apps

By chance has anyone tried either Xfinity TV Go or the Fire TV's watchESPN app? Both of these apps on stock seemed to work until you clicked on a video it would then crash. I believe it was mentioned in a different thread that Xfinity worked on Lollirock so I was hoping that maybe it worked on this rom?
[Nexus Player Android Development] kittysmonks:
VPN issue ?

Great work on the CM 12.1 and CM recovery!! , easy to install for a noob like myself. I've encountered a VPN issue with the leanback Netflix app on CM 12.1 . I use unblock-us to enable all the different Netflix international versions, BBC iplayer ,Hulu Plus etc... They all work fine except the leanback Netflix app . It recognizes when I'm not in my own countries region, but the same app (tried 3 different versions) works fine on the standard nexus player 5.0 ,5.1, 5.1.1 . Does anybody have any ideas ?
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
First time writing an entire application, but why have to go to the web and install SideLoad Launcher when we can build the functionality right into the rom. :D

[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Did you try turning off Wi-Fi location?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Awesome! can't wait to try it out! Is there any reason why the other patch to fix the day dream bug hasn't merged yet? Hopefully it makes it into tonight's build.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nunyabiznas:
not compatible

i went ahead and went back to leanback gapps for now because the full playstore says not compatible with my device for most apps and games. might be something i did on my end. i can still sideload so no biggie.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Ambious:
This rom is awesome!

Also, FYI, HDMI Passthrough in Kodi works better with this rom than on Stock (where it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't).

One thing though - do you think you could make it possible to remap buttons for a gamepad?

I have an OUYA gamepad I paired, but button mapping is off and I'd love to be able to use it.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
You can do button mapping Kodi or in games usually it's not at the system level.
[Nexus Player Android Development] tjsooley:
Sweet just got a nexus player and waiting on the mic fix.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Honestly unless it's something you use on a regular basis you went miss it. It's probably going to be a while before it's fixed since reverse engineering easy.
[Nexus Player Android Development] tjsooley:
I just got my player 2 days ago (ouya upgrade). How does cm12.1 work with XBMC?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
It works really good be sure you to get it from here. https://plus.google.com/communities/108183048951505359159/

I highly recommend using the theme eminence it works really well. Also if you use the kiss anime add on use the right click menu to play URL instead of opening the stream normally. Also recommend this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree
[Nexus Player Android Development] tjsooley:
Just flashed stable as hell and performance on KodI is great keep up the good work
[Nexus Player Android Development] pbanj:
just grab the keymap file from the ouya and put it in the right folder. you should even be able to change the mapping in the file if you want
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
It looks like the day dream fix should be in tonight's nightly! Oh yeah!
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
:D I bugged them til it got merged

Also a fix to App Drawer to sort alphabetically AND fixed apps2(USB)sd :D

[IMG="apps2sd"]http://i.imgur.com/9lVCPwY.png[/IMG]
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Just installed going to test it out tonight!
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Looks like the App Drawer fix and the apps2sd just barely missed tonights build.....So tomorrow :P
[Nexus Player Android Development] bkjolly:
Nice bro.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Dang wish you could do an unofficial build I'm too impatient! lol. The Day Dream fix seems to work though!

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

@dhacker29 is there anyway you can add Move to USB Storage to the TV Settings for the next nightly as well? That would be super helpful since right now you have to go to the other settings.
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
That's a major undertaking lol
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Oh ok I didn't know how hard it was to edit the TV Settings :P If you can't do it that's cool but it would be a nice feature to see eventually. Do you know what other features you're thinking about adding to this project? I think that the App Drawer was a cool idea I'd be interested to know where else this project was going.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Ambious:
Didn't realize it was as simple as that.

My ouya is bricked, but I'll try finding it online.

Thanks!
[Nexus Player Android Development] bkjolly:
It's harder than you'd think. The hardest part IMHO is not overthinking it. I think a good question would be where would people like to see the project go. I mean personally I always wanted it to stay a TV device but D made sure it could be anything anyone wanted. I can't speak for D but I'm interested in hearing what people would like their Android TV device to do. I think at this point D's made it a much more user friendly device than Google released.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well I thought it was easy because he could just copy/paste the existing code from the regular settings but I guess not. For me I'm not sure except I want to be able to move my apps to external storage and do video calls in hangouts using my USB webcam. It would be kind of nice to be able to move around the banners on the lean back launcher I know there is some kind of file you can manually edit so maybe there can be a setting that does it for you.

As far as bugs assuming moving apps to USB is fixed in the next nightly just the microphone is left to fix it seems. I have occasional video distortions but it's hard to know if that's Kodi or cm. In general it's not been a problem though.
[Nexus Player Android Development] bkjolly:
I've noticed minimal video distortions but only in Kodi. Nothing on Netflix or Hulu and I suspect that's dependent on the source server you're streaming from in Kodi there's nothing that can be done about that. To some extent you're correct in regard to copy and paste that works but the way cm phone settings is written vs the way Tv Settings is written is way different. They're two completely different apps meant to run on two completely different devices. some things are easier that others obviously. Look at advanced reboot commits for TV Settings vs Phone Settings and you'll see some major differences. I'm honestly surprised D didn't call me a dumbass during that addition to fugu.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well all I know is [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] is doing great at getting things working on here. I hope some day I can be more useful since I'm a cs major but right now I'm mostly useless except for basic testing and debugging.
[Nexus Player Android Development] tjsooley:
What is the dir to put it in?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Ambious:
Yeah, I couldn't find any info on this either.
[Nexus Player Android Development] tjsooley:
What dir is it in on the ouya?
[Nexus Player Android Development] pbanj:
It goes in /system/usr/keylayout and the perms should be rw r r the file is pretty much just a text file with a different file extension. You can find the file in a download of the ouyas firmware if u can't get into the ouyas system.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Action123:
CM works flawlessly. The nightlies are actually really reliable for fugu. Thanks to [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] for all the hard work on this!
[Nexus Player Android Development] Ambious:
Thanks for the tip, here's the file for anyone interested (remove the .txt before pushing to device).

[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION], can we have this integrated?

Edit: While this does seem like the correct file, just putting in the right directory and restarting + re-pairing didn't seem to have made a difference.

Any ideas how to make it work?
[Nexus Player Android Development] GabbyWC:
Although I haven't flashed the CM software on to my Nexus Player yet, I've been following the progress in this thread. I look forward to trying it out on my device once the stability level moves up above nightly status.

x posed has a 3dot mod maybe someway to use it to get the dots for foldermount?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Enigmafied:
dhacker29, are you the developer for cyanogenmod on the Nexus 6?

If so could we get some support? We have an antiquated official page started by nowy57 for CM12.0 here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/nightly-rom-stock-cm12-builds-t2995039

We also have the much less popular unofficial page for the official CM12.1 here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/discussion-cyanogenmod-12-1-shamu-t3088447

We have no official 12.1 page, nor has any developer for CM posted in either of those threads since I believe nowy57 on the 7th of January.

If you are not could you figure out who is supposed to be?

Thanks.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] the new nightly build is awesome it finally lets me move (some) apps to my external storage! However others are not wanting to move to happily it might not be something you can fix but I log catted it anyways just incase. Just the fact that we can move any of them is awesome because it lets us free up precious space! Also the day dream fix worked like a charm! Here is the log cat I copied one app that failed and another app that copied just fine in that order on the log cat. https://paste.ee/p/lC65j

So I have a feature request you may or may not be able to do but I thought I would ask anyways. So I really want a button on the launcher by the settings to be able to turn off my TV (this should be possible via HDMI CEC) if it can't be on the launcher and has to be a separate app or in a different menu that's ok too but that's one thing that annoys the crap out of my I can turn on my TV via HDMI CEC by playing a movie but can't turn if back off without the remote.
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Those dots are in the action bar which is tied to status bar which we don't use in leanback
[Nexus Player Android Development] ste_mir:
So, here I am back.

I just had Nexus Player yesterday and I am already tired of the standard interface (expecially here in Italy there are really few apps on Play Store). I am ready to switch to CM 12.1 :D
[Nexus Player Android Development] Cuzz1369:
[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] I am really happy and impressed with the progress you've made with the NP. I actually had to dust it off and flash this last night. Very impressive. Thank you sir for all the hard work!!

obb

anybody figure out a way to move obb files to usb? foldermount isnt working for me. the buttons to click on to accept destination folder are not visible.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

i had it working on lollirock.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Silentwidow:
Should there be a notification bar on this rom? I don't seem to have one and I can't seem to enable it, but I see it in the screenshots.

I have tried clean flashing as well, and I am on the latest bootloader from Google.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Cuzz1369:
You don't need foldermount anymore, it has it built into the ROM on the latest nightly.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
There should only be one with the regular gapps honestly you don't want it it's mostly annoying.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Silentwidow:
Yea, just not sure if it's something I did wrong, I get a lot of random issues, and the bluetooth speed sucks for the gamepad, I can't play a game without a good bit of lag on it.

I also get a bunch of Google+ install errors, not sure why those even show up. Make sure I am not missing something here lol.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nunyabiznas:
it only moves the app not the obb files

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

if you changed gapps without doing a factory reset you get the google plus error because it updates to /data
[Nexus Player Android Development] nunyabiznas:
obb

guess ill try a binding script. maybe tomorrow. its bbq time now.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Do you mean a script to move the rest of the files?
[Nexus Player Android Development] ste_mir:
I was not able to install CM on my NP :(

I flashed Recovery, then I adb pushed the .zip file, then I went o "apply Update -> Chose from Internal Storage" but when I select the *zip file, I get an error like "could not verify device signature"... I don't know what to do :(
[Nexus Player Android Development] danigraham:
I tried sending you a PM, but it said you cannot accept them.

I see you said you got moving obb files to work in Lollirock, can you explain? My husband and I are debating coming from LR to CM but are worried we still won't be able to mount, and really don't want to change up and risk losing everything if we can't get it working. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

@Link_of_Hyrule

I see that the 05/07 nightly is out.

If and when you test it, could you tell us if apps2sd is working?

We are on Lollirock but want to change over, and that would just be awesome if apps2sd worked! Or is this your review of the newest nightly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60578768

Thanks!
[Nexus Player Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Link2sd from the playstore can do it just fine. I think you need the paid version though, I just tested. Although when I move an app USB it shows all of it in USB storage.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nunyabiznas:
app2usb works but its not moving the files in android/obb some big games have like 1gb + obb files. i can move them manually but the game cant find them on usb so ill try a binding script that binds usb to sd for those files. unless link2sf works. havent tried it yet
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Make sure you download it from am official source and not a delta update because using cm update our cyandelta doesn't have a proper signature and won't flash the file. Also make sure you're using the cm recovery and that you're bootloader is unlocked. Also try using adb sideload you can Google how that works it's easy.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Are you going to submit that as a patch to cm?

Except for one app that has an error copying and a few that had copying disabled by the developers (the setting was greyed out) I was able to copy mostly all my games to my flash drive. I haven't tried anything that's like 1GB+ yet since I had to order a bigger flash drive the one I have is only 2GB. But I'm going to test more once I get the new one that's 128GB.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
It looks like there are several patches that are going to merge that are app2sd related and could help it function better.

apps2sd: Only allow "move to ___" if the media is mounted [1/2]

apps2sd: Only allow "move to ___" if the media is mounted [2/2]

Fix app installation when installLocation=preferExternal

apps2sd: Enable apps2sd for apps with unspecified install location

I used lollirock before this I used stickmount and foldermount to move kodi and gta app and obb it worked fine
[Nexus Player Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I'm thinking if there is a way to do it with those tools they can probably coffee it to do something similar. Although Kodi takes up like 500Mb I don't feel the need to move that since I can move mostly every other app that's t taking up that much space.
