I managed to flash this rom fine but I have some history with flashing roms. Although I went back to stock as I realised I kinda like the simplicity of the stock rom when controlling from the sofa.

Someone noticed that Amazon Prime is not playing Videos in HD only in SD?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I don't know because in Italy Amazon prime video not work and i not tested with a vpn, however i can suggest to read this page:

http://www.amazon.com/forum/amazon video on demand?cdForum=Fx3EQAX98ED5WQ3&cdThread=Tx2KXVROU9JDBW2

If someone can test, is an information that i need.

P.S.

I'm against piracy, but when i read things like that, i listen the song linked below and i'm more happy :)

Selleres of movies and songs can't ruine the future of IT

When i listen or watch something, is already part of myself. And no DRM protections can stop this fact.

So do not lose time with strong protections in OS because this type of protections only block the growth of technological development.

You can not hinder the growth of information technology to safeguard the interests of a few.

When i love a music or movie, in a way or another i pay, also if was not imposed.

Thanks zulu99, tailslol, gnoober, and others in this post! :)

It is more clear to me what this ROM do and do not.

One other question, I read some devices with Nvidia firmware does not work properly, is it the case for the official controller and remote sell with the Nvidia Shield TV box? Or are they fully supported by this firmware?

Thanks again! :)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
Nvidia remote are not supported and shield controller is supported only by USB..

It is because those product use proprietary drivers and binaries to work by wifi direct.

Those product are known to reduce wifi speeds during streaming too when used with the stock firmware.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
As you can see, also if i added in the first post a note about the Nvidia controller, you will see always this question.

Do you know why ? And i know this from times. Because some users, i'm not referring to anyone in particular, are just "Trollers"

full Android in general and expecially this firmware is one million times better than Android TV for a simple reason:

Android TV was invented for services like Netflix, Hbo and some others paid services, if you need only this services, i can suggest also only a chromecast dongle that is also more simple to use.

Many others users lose time with Android TV with sideload, complain that some apps not work or the option menu is not accessible. Some others want a vpn or others special things. When an users do that, It is not using Android TV as it was invented, doing these things is already transforming Android TV in full Android.

After some time, he understand, why i'm doing that if i can have everything with full Android ? I can run all standard apps directly from google play and when i want i can run also apps invented for Android TV, also only with directional keys. I can use well the Chrome browser, i can use webcam, skype, hangouts and everything Android can offer.

Shortly before the final decision, or to find a reason why not install a full Android, looking for some excuse to restrain himself, and at this point that you can see the questions about the controller.

But after realizing that still has the ability to control everything and even better, take the final decision and become a lover of the firmware full Android.

This is the story.

i'm stuck at language selection, how to select it? A button doesn't work for me, I can only scroll up/down languages (controller wired with original usb cable)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
connect a mouse for the first setup, is more simple.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] montusk:
lol thank you, worked.

[MENTION=6954171]tailslol[/MENTION]: Thank you for your answer, it is exactly what I wanted to know. :)

[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION]: thanks again for your great work. I know very little the Nvidia Shield for now, because I discover it recently, but it seems a wonderful product and I think to buy it in a short amount of time. At the moment, I am gathering pieces of information to know its capabilities, limits, etc. I use different smartphone ROMs since a long time, but I am completely new to this one, it is maybe because my questions seems basic.

But maybe you think too much about what may think others. My questions did not have any afterthought, and I am used to see this kind of information in the first post. I read and understand why you did not write them in it, but I will not be surprise to read what you think about Nvidia firmware, Android TV, etc in the first post too. I agree with you and it does not bother me to have a long first post to read, on the contrary of looking for an answer in 125 pages. Of course, it is your post, your work, and I will respect anything you chose. In particular because of the quality of your work. I only wanted to clarify my questions, no troll, nor anything else, only questions expecting answers without anything else after.

P.S.: Sorry if my english is not perfect, it is not my first language.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Schrotty35:
Can i use a Harmony Remote and how can i setup this? The Rom is great but i miss the Remote function.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
with this firmware it is better to use a mouse with keyboard,or a trackpad or a all in one keyboard by usb or bluetooth.

in fact it is a must have,it need to be added to the first post.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

it will cost you nothing to add those information,in fact you are a bit like google when you hide those key informations.

Hy, i'm using nvidia's remote on different devices, also on Shield with this ROM. It's working over BT, not wifi. Also the voice search is working.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
If it work in bluetooth, i'm very happy. I not know, because i use only DroidMote to control all my android TV box. I use every app and game on my TV also multi touch, for this reason a normal remote only with directional keys is not sufficient for me.

An hardware mouse and keyboard It is cumbersome and lacks many functionality like voice dictation, touch mouse and gamepad or real multi touch gestures. I'm too used to DroidMote, for this reason I love full Android and I have no limits of interaction.

But thank you for your post, so i have another feature to add to the already long list for others users.

Many thanks :)

I suspected what you said, but i not have one to test.

I'm very happy.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
good to know ;)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darktyroll:
I bet ur just a liar.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Don't change my life, if works or not work. If it works i'm happy for others. This is the sense of my post :) All full Android users know that directional keys are not sufficient to control a full version of Android on TV. And this is the basic difference that add also barriers and limitations in Android TV.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Hello, I am enjoying the ROM very much, thank you!

The only problems I am running into are:

1: ) No on screen keyboard (I only use an airmouse and really need on screen kb)

2: ) Cannot seem to get remote control software (Mobizen) to interact with the SHIELD.

The screen displays fine, but mouse/keyboard/hard buttons etc won't do anything.

3: ) The physical keymapping/mouse buttons seem a bit different from all of my other Androids.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mandark_a:
I don't like to speak from the "clouds", and for your peace of mind just watch the video. It was tested on an Tab S 10.5, Galaxy S6, and works like a charm. The volume touch is a no go. But everything else is there.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
1 : you should see your android keyboard settings and check the show keyboard option.

Or use google keyboard.

2: never heard of it but see your settings.

3: I am assuming your devices are kitkat or older versions. And this is your first lollipop one.

Google switched some key in it.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Anybody?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
1: ) Google keyboard is installed, and set as input method, still no on screen keyboard.

2: ) It's not too bad, a little slow but has a nice interface.

3: ) Nope, running 5.1 on all 3 systems, this ROM is the only one that acts different.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mandark_a:
It's in the first post as a feature of the 2.2 version:

Changelog:

2.2

Fix Power hardware button

Fix build.prop to avoid google play update to TV version
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
If I remenber correctly the fix was just to change the device name in the build.prop

To something else ,for example add full_ in front of the device name.

So Google does not reconise it and force the android tv play store.

I think but not sure again.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Agreed, it is soo close to being exactly what I want, but also not quite there. I saw someone is working on a CM12 rom, which would be excellent.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] m3dd0g:
The Problem is that there is no source so i would compile a build.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
To do ? A serious firmware for this device can't be better than this. Is impossible, for this reason you don't see others custom firmwares. In this firmware you can have 10000 things more than stock firmware and everything work excellent. What you whant more than this ? Compare all firmwsres and devices that you know and if you find one that is better and more stable of this report your result to me. I don't know one that is better and i have many new android devices and i test many stock and custom firmwares. Incluse cyanogenmod. ( because i test my android apps, therefore test others devices and firmwares is my daily work )

For Android 6 we will see.

P.S.

I hope that others developers will create a firmware better than this, so i can do less work and dedicate my work to others things. But for now is just a dream.

Thanks for looking into this, and I agree with your views around DRM (you should see the complicated setup I have, just to manage my HDMI routing, keeping it HDCP & HDMI 2.0 compliant).

It is disappointing google removed this functionality within play services, these type of TV/STB android devices are crying out to be the controllers/casters in a multi-room audio setup. For my New Years party, I had to use a samsung tablet with Kodi, to cast music to all my chromecast audio dongles, with the Shield relegated to displaying a simple music visualization... Not a big deal I know, but frustrating non the less........

Anyway thanks again...And Happy new year...!!

Hey friends, do you know FlyIptv right ?

https://youtu.be/p8DzsNY241w

For me this app is the most useful app for my Shield TV, because i watch all my preferred live tv channels in a popup windows while i do others things, like check xda forum, google plus, some news or read email.

You need only the source link, for example from kodi iptv links, or just an url from a web tv or any video url you want, you can add it in FlyIptv and have your TV 3.0 :)

You can watch also two channels at the same time, and listen the audio of one or of the other just pointing the mouse icon. You can resize, move the video or have it in full screen and the app is very stable and fast. You can import also urls from files.

Quick question, do you know if there is any drivers available for this tunner on Android: http://www.ixbt.com/monitor/images/astrometa-digital-tv-dongle/astrometa-digital-tv-dongle-2.jpg

Thanks.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
Wellp ,great it seems the marshmallows are almost ready :p

Happy new year!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I don't have an answer for your question but,

many tv channels are online today, and i can suggest something like tivizen if you need a DVB-T receiver.

An independent device that stream tv in your lan compatible with all devices in your house. You can also record.

Like this: https://youtu.be/L6tDAwuAQFM
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Oh man

I just flased the CM12 port and it really helped me see how awesome this rom is! I also went back to stock, and even tried the dev vesion of stock and man does Android TV suck!!! I think I finally have decided to stick with this most excellent rom!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I share this thing because I did not know and was new for me. But i know that many others users already know.

When you have installed the last version of PopconTime, that work very well on Shield TV ( i tested the community edition mobile arm64-v8a version ), and you download a generic LEGAL video torrent from your Chrome browser, the app work also with the external torrent that you have downloaded. You can click on the torrent file from es file explorer and the torrent open in the PopCornTime app. So you can watch also others video torrents not incluse in the list of the app. Because many movies in the list are illegals and i do not use it.

This is very useful for users that not speak English as main language so can watch also others torrents in the original language.

Sorry if you don't like this post, but i must test everything on Shield TV to understand if things works or not.

My main purpose is development and i'm against piracy.

p.s.

I'm testing also a good vpn service https://vpn.ht/en

If you need the apk that work very well on Shiled TV but is listed as incomatible in google play you can download the apk of vpn.ht from here:

https://apkpure.com/vpn-ht/ht.vpn.android

Like all free android apk, in case one of this is listed as not compatible in google play.

In this rom, on what resolution logitech camera works with skype please?

Is Full HD, HD only or just 480p?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mandark_a:
Is there any software to change the output resolution? I have a Dell u3014 but is just getting 1080p signal.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
the signal seerms full hd but then for the sending it is the limitations of skype android app.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Great work. But not having wireless and losing the other essentials makes this a no go. I'll check back time to time to see if things get ironed out.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
Which other essentials?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Nvidia shield apps for streaming and voice search.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Nvidia shield apps for streaming can be downloaded directly from Google Play and is the same app for tablet, tv, console and work very well

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nvidia.tegrazone3

You can voice search with a bluetooth headset, a bluetooth mic, with a usb mic and also with a webcam that is useful also for skype and hangouts.

Why you write before read previous posts ?

But regardless of these functionality, full Android is a real Android OS and Android TV a pure garbage. Because all app that you can download from Google Play, are working on a standard Android device and not in a stripped down enviroment where many components of Android are not present.

Some Android TV users try to trasform Android TV in full Android with sideload and tips and trick and not use it as was invented. If you are doing that, you are losing time, because you already have full Android with wich you can do everything an Android device can do. In Android TV also if you sideload, you can't have a good experience because the default dpi are 320 and not 220, you don't have regular settings, the base framework is different in some parts and the missing status bar create many problems on regular app. And others missing things, too long to write everything.

Android TV was invented for paid services like Netflix and few others, if you use only this services i suggest to buy directly a chromecast dongle, instead if you want a real Android on your TV, the alternative are only full Android on your device or buy directly a good chinese android box after read communities and forum posts to understand if the device is valid and is supported by independent developers.

An Android box with a full version of Android inside today can't be certified by Google, for this reason i use certified devices like Shield TV and Nexus Player and i restore Android to have also services like Netflix in hd and others drm app.

Do you know why a generic Android tv box with full Android can't be certified ? Because big companies want users with limitations on TV and to fight the expansion of thousand and thousand android tv box that you can buy from China in thousand of shop online, with little money and good hardware.

Full Android on TV is dangerous for big companies, for this reason Android TV was invented. So the user can be a real monkey in the hands of this big companies.

This is the true, and i know this market from many years.

In US there was already many problems on a phone that you can use or not with a tlc provider, do not transform also the TV world in a monopoly.

1- Can we have full stock launcher (with working mouse) on this rom?

2- From what i understand, we can use voice search in Youtube over Logitech webcams? Mine is 920.

3- How to make dual boot full android and stock one? Any tutorial please?

You know what is my problem zulu, i wanna play some games and i really need stock android, also my wife is watching every day cartoon movies and kids songs for our lil 1 year girl, she use ONLY the voice search on Youtube.

And stock rom killing me, i need full android for me (i can buy a keboard with mouse pad from Logitech) but for gaming i wanna use stock rom (for the controller) and i need to keep my wife and kid priority too :)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
the android tv launcher on this rom has no mouse support,but aosp stock launcher and google now launcher works with a mouse yes.

2: yes it will work .

3: no dualboot on this device is not supported.

the default controller will work only by usb but you can use any bluetooth controllers or xbox controller by usb or by using their usb receivers dongles.

if you need more usb you can use a powered usb hub,i use it to see my movies in my hard drive.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Grippen50:
Well back here to post after some trials. I still like the idea of having full android but I went back to stock for the following reasons which are not at all related to gaps or problems in this rom, far from that its just a personal choice and again I would like to thank zulu99, tailslol and others for the development and support. I hope you continue with your dedication to this matter:

1. Use of the nvidia controller without further addons like droidmote

2. I actually like the menus from Nvidia ROM they are simple and direct, maybe I can do the same with this ROM but I would have to loose time searching for launchers and customizations

3. Main use will be Kodi for movies and series don't need other apps there, I have a smartphone and a laptop for other things

4. Games I wanted to play in Android all have the same problem in both roms, touch screen is required.

So in summary if you want to have an all in one package Full Android is the best by far, but if you're like me and your major need is Kodi, both roms will work just fine. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The Full Android one is the lack of support of the controller, actually this is Nvidia fault because they could have used BT or opened source the protocol. I decided to go into stock because I do not want to worry about updates and loose time in customization etc.. I just don't have the patience I had in the past. Nevertheless I'm sure that I will go back into Full one day, either because Nvidia stops the updates or because something will pop up in Full Android and I really want to use it.

By the way don't know if anyone had the same problem but with Android TV I cannot find my Wifi network which is really weird. In full Android I had no problem. This is not a major problem for me as I will be using Ethernet but its a very serious bug which I'm guessing is in the SW. I will be reporting this by the way.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] oppressed11:
I have installed full rom android and I tried to install bein sport (mena) but google play says "this app is incompatible with your device"..

then I edited the build.prop file I changed :

ro.product.model=SM-N920G

ro.product.name=SM-N920G

ro.product.device=SM-N920G

ro.build,product=SM-N920G

also I changed every word "nvidia" to "samsung" after that I rebooted the device which I got the blank screen ..

any ideas ?
