Thanks Zulu :good:

I will send you name of the IPTV app from google play store,user and pass.

by the way i have found and have tested USB(micro)DVB-T2 tuner which works on Shield TV.

If i want to revert from your rom to stock 2.1 i have just to flash system.img taken from nvidia recovey files?Not to flash all files like:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash staging blob

fastboot flash dtb <DTB file name>
[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
ok cheers

Im in a conundrum then, i did'nt get my replacement from nvidia, i got it from amazon, so i dont know if amazon got the fixed batch or replaced my shield with the same batch with issue

I think your right, nvidia should really give out more info about this, like given us the ability to identify good batch vs bad batch via serial number or about page version numbers, something like that........instead of finding out by flashing something, and if you dont get a brick, your ok..........if you do get a brick, you've got a paper weight

I luv the feeling of getting a $200 dollar paperweight and not knowing if ill be able to get a replacement........its a great feeling, thanks nvidia............apart from that, nice hardware
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION]: I wouldn't worry about flashing a custom recovery. I've yet to see a verifiable report of twrp breaking a system. And the benefits are worth it, backups and restores and all. Personally, I'd be wary of flashing something inside a running system. What happens when it replaces a running app, locked files, etc? To my knowledge, nothing I've released has resulted in verifiable unreversable problems.

Hmmm... It's possible that only the older units have the blob flashing problem. My old unit had been upgraded to 2.0 previously, but had never run 2.1 until I bricked it. But I'm not testing that theory on my new one. That's staying on the 1.3 bootloader until I get verification that the hardware button can bring up the fastboot menu.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Spiteful Monkey:
And chance to get the ftdi driver included in with the kernel? Would be nice for those of us using the shield for projects. I sent a PM about it, but I'm sure you get many.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
My dear Steel01, all that you say is right. And TWRP is very necessary for all. And you are one of the best developers on nvidia devices. I trust you very much.

With my words, I just wanted to reassure new users not very experienced.

I wanted to share methodologies to remain as stock as possible even for beginners.

For this reason i created a system.img with all inside and i suggested FlishFire as alternative recovery to flash zip files and normal backup / restore operation in a working Android OS.

But i know how TWRP is important also for future development.

Unfortunally, the Nvidia world, is not like the Nexus world. There are many users without the base of Android. And I'm doing a lot of sacrifices, responding everyone to any demand even the most trivial. But is normal, we were all beginners once.

With my words, i wanted also sharing the fact that if a device works well, don't have defects, flash a custom recovery, boot, system, are the most normal things in the Android world.

That's it, nothing special.

p.s.

My mission here is just to explain to the world that Full Android is the only way to have freedom on Tv in future, if Google not destroy also Android, and that Android TV have a lot of limitations made on purpose that in future will be increased because is a stripped down version of Android made after pressure of sellers of movies and songs. In the Tv world there is a big mafia and i know this world very well because i work on DroidMote from many years, serving thousands and thousands of people already using a full Android version on TV.

I hope that many more developers will come in this world to remove imposed limitations to our freedom of choice. I'm against impositions.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Yes, i have many private messages, but unfortunately i can't respond in private. Otherwise I would not have even a second to engage in development work.

( i'm sorry for this )

In future, we can develop custom kernels without problems, like i do for Nexus Player and in the past for many others devices, but for now, considering that the stock kernel have almost all inside for general purpose, i prefer to stay stock to do less work and concentrate on the basic firmware functionalities.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Good, what is this DVB-T2 tuner model ?

To re-flash stock you need only reflash the stock system.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot -w
[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
Thanks for info.

Then changing from your rom to stock rom is one minute job,nice.

This is tuner which works on Shield TV:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/pre-...-T2-DVB-T-TV-on-Android-Phone/1860516816.html

I did not test HD channels,because i dont have it on my network.

1.Place it direct to micro usb port on Shield TV.

2.Take from play store PAD TV HD app.

3.Install mini antenna.

4.Open app and mark your country for channel scan.

5.Thet is all.

POSITIVE:

-Only usb android DVB-T2 tuner on market under this brands(Geniatech,MyGica,Horizons.....)

-Nvidia cooler,because tuner can make phones or tablets to be hot.

-Extra small dimensions.

-Fast install.

-Epg works.

-REC works.

-Price.

Negative:

-Air mouse is must have.

-One full usb port is cover by tuner,only to buy USB extension cord for Tuner to use all full USB ports.

-There is no 75 ohm IEC adapter in package,you can to use only small antenna which came with it with very specific connector.MCX adapter can be found here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-DVB-T-A...er-for-Pinnacle-PCTV-nanostick-/151878214934?

-Tuner is made for tablets and mobil phones and picture on big tv sets maybe will be not so fine for some picture aspects.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Thanks. Good test. i will buy one.

Instead i'm using this http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00...m=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&pf_rd_r=0GN7W86KZS2ZASQXRXSS

Very good when it work because you can have the TV on all devices in your house in wireless mode.

You have a very good android app that can also overlay on UI. Like in this video i made:

https://youtu.be/g7OZIzMMHfU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPffXH-iXmk

https://youtu.be/L6tDAwuAQFM

you can move, resize, full screen the window on the screen and you can record very well.

Very useful for me when i play with Google Plus and i want see Tv at same time. but the uses are endless. This is Tv 2.0 not Android Tv. :)

Problems:

Very often not connect to my new router, and is only wifi n. If a new model will come with wifi ac 5Ghz, is the best solution i think.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
How did you get Picture in Picture?

Where to find thet Nexus player?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
It work also on Shield TV and better, on all Android devices. Is the Tivizen app that do that. For this reason i also think that Android TV is based on an old concept of TV.

We are in the era of multi tasks, cmon Google... Your live channel is prehistory for us. :)

but this is just the start, Android offer endless beautiful things. The limit is only what you don't know.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
tivizen works only with tivizen HW?

I want to have pip on myshield now:laugh:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Yes only with tvizen hardware.

But there are some iptv apps that do that. i tested one, but i not remember the name.

when you have the link of iptv you can add it where you want also on a video app that support pop-up videos.

In this moment i'm recording a new FREE multi touch game for my collection :) Pinball Fantasy HD :)

I love my Shield TV with full Android inside.

Hi zullu99, making some request for droimotte client, it's possible to have a notification icon to control the notification task and can we launch an application like the browsers icon in droimotte client,about the gamepad can we have others choice, like to play fighting games and basic gamepad games. I know this is not the droimotte forum, but I was trying there.

About the SATV some person from shield TV forum is making or doing something about like reengineering app and games,his name is Shane, did you have any idea,is possible, I think good this king of application, for oldest games, like the conduit HD,run before in shield portable, but not in the tablet and TV, I don't know ,if was you playing the game with droimotte in the shield TV in yours video.

Salute........
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
The correct name is DroidMote. Thanks.

I prefer DroidMote questions and support in the right place. I support 24/7 everyone in dedicated forum and via email.

Anyway,

With the mouse or touch mouse or multi touch gastures you can open / use everything.

With Gamepad2touch you can play all multi touch games

And the controller is by default a normal controller if you don't enable gamepad2touch, therefore you can play also with games with standard controller support.

99% Android games and emulators games can be played with DroidMote and 100% Android apps can be controlled.

Yes the videos are my gameplay on my Shield TV with full Android inside. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2E8D73B9D757086B

http://www.videomap.it/dmcguide.htm

P.S.

Maybe in your question you want open the status bar / notification drawer:

Point the mouse on statua bar and with two finger swipe down the notification bar.

Or point the mouse on status bar and long press to drag down the notification bar.

You can also swipe away the nofification or open it.

In settings, don't forget that you can select "fast scroll" to enable drag or scroll with long press on touchpad. Therefore you can do all the mouse operations without look the phone.

Was thinking of getting one of these. Just 2 things, this is a TV tuner and not a satellite tuner, right? Also, you won't be able to use the Live TV app in conjunction.

Webcam + Usb Audio

Does this rom support webcam and usb audio? I have a hub hooked up to a usb airmouse + Webcam and the usb audio connected to the 2nd usb input on the shield. When I have it connected this way I do not get audio via the usb audio out, it is routed to the tvs hdmi audio. When I unplug the webcam I then get audio from the usb audio. Is this an isolated issue or is this just how it is when using a webcam and usb audio?

Thanks in advance
[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
It is DVB-T2/T like from link.

I dont know what you think about Live TV.

Just to mention,this tuner is for phones and tablets and on big tv live picture can have some problems.Recorded files are normal,without problem which can be seen in live watching.For example on some channels or video material on thet channels edges of object are not perfect,or numbers and letters which go fast are not perfect or all picture can have some light lines.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Sure that it support webcam and usb audio. Skype and hangouts work very well. You need an UVC webcam. Many Logitech webcam are working.

I tested with my Logitech C525

You can use also bluetooth headphones and mic for private audio.

Your problem is caused by your Chinese input device.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] gsmarena1644:
Not necessarily as I am using a logitech c920
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
C920 should work well, others users can confirm.

Start the device with webcam connected and don't use the Chinese stuff. Use a normal mouse for test.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
i confirm about the webcam and mouse,you can use a usb hub too with it own power suply.

Hi zulu

Can i ask why you dont reccomend rovo's latest official xposed framework in your first post, did you have issues trying them with our shields?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Sure, you can use the last version. I not update the second post every day. Thanks.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Deeco7:
Apologies...but, how do I get the Shield Remote to work and is their LAN support? Thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Deeco7:
Great work, not doubt about it, but not being able to use the official shield remote with this rom is a dealbreaker 'for me'.

Could you kindly tell me how I can revert back to stock firmware and relock bootloader?

Edit: figured it out

Many thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
You can to remap almost any air mouse,any button to work with Shield TV

Deeco7

For full android experience on official and custom rom you need to have Air-Mouse not infra red remote or Harmony or Shield remote.

I have Mele F10 first model and have working all directional keys,back,home,menu,volume,mute and have add play,stop and all keyboard works.

Some buttons can not be remaped, but some others with no use can.

On stock launcher i use directional keys,then i press Nova launcher and have full android desktop with all my apps and using air mouse function.

Have placed stock shortcuts on Nova like:settings,power and all which is must have for not to back to stock launcher to activate it.

Did you make Antutu video test?I see in your video thet you run some videos from Aatutu videos tester.Does all have passed in KODI?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] cronikman84:
Amazing work!!!

i must say that i'm very impressed with full android running on the shield TV, i already had all the files in order so i can install full android but not being able to use the original Shield TV controller wirelessly is a big deal breaker for me, i don't want to have to buy a used Xbox 360 controller with the pc adapter to be able to game on my shield, is just a complete waste of money when i already have a wireless Shield TV controller available, i already also own 2 OUYA Bluetooth controllers and 1 GS Red samuraiV2 Bluetooth controllers but i doubt that they will work without mapping some or all buttons which is a PITA... Once again, Amazing work and i'm really happy to see people messing with the shield TV:D
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
If you need only directional keys and volume buttons, not very useful to control Android, you can use also the remote of your TV. The Shield have hdmi CEC, so if you switch hdmi input and select CEC xxxx, you can use the remote of your tv.

The Shield stock controller work in wired mode very well, but is not a standard controller in wireless mode so it use proprietary things. This proprietary things, a subspecies of wifi-direct protocol, create also interference with normal wifi usage.

So the full Android firmware is better than stock firmware on wifi operations. I love the wifi ac.

Not only, every standard bluetooth or wireless controller work very well with this firmware.

We can have all, bluetooth audio and mic, usb audio and mic, webcam, skype, hangouts, full google play store and all standard android apps working.

Kodi and all others x apps like all others videos apps incluse video apps with widevine drm are working well.

We have also chromecast functionalities.

But if an user prefer, can run also leanback apps, apps specific for Android TV.

That's all. I'm very happy with this firmware, all that i dreamed from an android tv box.

Thanks for your comment.

P.S.

Thanks to the administrators of this forum. I appreciated. Was the best decision. Is not simple for me you can understand why.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
well yes the provided controller still works in wired mode but some extra keys work like the controller volume controll or the home,return or menu keys that work,but not the included mic i guess.

the mic and the wifi direct connection is using proprietary drivers.

to bad nvidia keep them closed source.

if you want better controlls bluetooth or usb wireless hardware are compatible.

(xbox 360 pads,trackpads,media keyboards,remotes ect...)

I did the test in antutu video 3.0 and the result was 1024 behind 3 others devices, I Will make another test.

About the antutu the score in the full Android was 71000+ and the stock was 61000+ and 2.1, before 63000+ in 1.8 both rooted.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
so much?????

whoa realy good news,it seems full android is a lots lighter!

[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
My Stock 2.1 Shield have 70.000 Antutu.

Antutu video tester 3.0 results are not valid.There is massage thet 4 video files are failed,but from Kodi and MX player all 30 files are ok.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Also if full Android have or not have higher scores in benchmark, i don't know, i don't base my approval on a firmware based on scores.

I see the daily usage on all apps and games and many others pratical usages.

One thing is sure, full Android is better than stock firmware in all operations because i have two devices, one with stock firmware and another with full Android face to face, monitor to monitor :) To make comparisions.

And in every single task full Android is a monster compared to Android TV.

My interest, is that users can have the best firmware and can run all apps. Is not a question if is my firmware, stock firmware or a firmware of another developer. I repeat, for who want understand, my interests is that users have a very good firmware with all apps and without limits.

I just hate imposed limitations. I think that an user must have the ability to choose and should not be forced to use or not use things.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] cronikman84:
not only do i need the nvidia controller for volume, but for the mic and to play cloud gaming, to use the nvidia shield controller wired is not an option as i play it on my room where my 7 month pregnant fiance walks in and out all the time and don't want her to trip and get hurt or for my shield to fall and break, see the thing is that i don't use my shield TV to watch youtube, Kodi, facebook, skype or netflix, that's why i have a nexus 5, 2 tablets and a chromecast for. This is my main gaming rig and for gaming only and to be Honestly i have no issues with my shield controller interfering with my Wifi connection, i don't cloud game over wifi even tho i have a great dual band router, i only game on hardwire and hardwire only because is more reliable... Also not to go OT but i have pure android rom installed on my nexus 5 and all of my Bluetooth controllers don't operate correctly and 50% of the buttons are screwed up, meaning if i play MC5 on my phone with a bluetooth controller and press the "fire trigger" button the character walks forward instead of shooting and this is on lollipop or marshmallow, it also happens on my OUYA with full android so i'm guessing the same will happen with the shield TV with full android. Have you tried using or paring different Bluetooth controllers yet to see if they work as advertised with games? i don't need the shield controller to scroll threw the homescreen on full android but i do need it for cloud gaming and i would hate to have my controller wired to the back of the shield as the reason i got a shield was to lay back on my bed and play video games with a wireless controller and not have to be sitting right in front of my TV to Game on, i understand that is not possible to use the nvidia controller with android but that's what is keeping me from going ahead and switching over. Correct me if i'm wrong and this came straight out of nvidia themself, but the reason why Nvidia went with wifi direct controller connectivity for the shield and not bluetooth was for performance purpose? meaning bluetooth slows down console performance which is true... Don't get me wrong, i love what's going on here with the Shield TV with Full android plus Full playstore, it's what i dreamed of for the Shield TV but not knowing if any other Bluetooth controller works perfect without having to remap/reassign button input or that is not going to affect console performance is stopping me... Full android is the best thing to happen for the shield TV and i'm sitting here drooling over it :silly:. Man all i can say is amazing work has been done, keep up the great work!!!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] kdb424:
Just want to preface this with, I'm not here to argue, though I know I sometimes come off that way. Just my response, hope that it helps :)

1. They did say it was for performance, but it's a really really small difference. Your TV type should have more affect on it than bluetooth VS wifi. The main thing they gain seemed to be audio quality honestly over the headphone port by going to wifi. Bluetooth controllers would be hindered with bluetooth audio, so it did make sense.

2. It's been tested, and the wifi link that they use does degrade wifi performance on the device. Things like ping and download speed on the shield itself, not issues with the controller being wireless. That was fine. If you are wired, it wouldn't affect you.

3. You probably know, but nvidia closed off the wireless controller from other OS's with closed source. I got massively bummed when I came to full android, and hardly game comparitively, and really missed the way you can stream to twitch so easily (yes there are other ways, I know). I will admit that if you want to use this for gaming exclusively, than stock is your best bet. There are more game related features, and it's amazing at that.

This is just my thoughts and opinions of someone who has used stock firmware for about 2 weeks, and has since June/July of this year, been running this firmware. I know both sides of the fence, and really miss some things, but I ended up using this as my desktop replacement more than a gaming device. In a perfect world, some awesome dev would get multirom working, and we could run both roms to get everything. Yes, it's being looked into, but that's low on the priority list from Steel it would seem, and I don't blame him.

TLDR: I love this firmware, it's amazing. Running for months, but IMHO, if you are just gaming on it, stick to stock. Wish I had a second box to have both experiences, as both are amazing, but different.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I'm very tired to have in this forum Android TV users that want discretit this firmware.

I think, and everyone can test, that full Android is many times better than stock firmware

We can do everything, we can download all apps directly from Google Play and we are very happy.

We use an alternative controller if we want it wireless

But we can play also with thousands games FREE that we can download directly from Google Play. Not only 5 apps and 6 paid games lile on Android TV.

If you like the Android TV firmware, please don't come here to troll.

I'm very very happy of this firmware.

And 90% of this videos are recorded on my Shield TV, to avoid troller.
