Right, first thing i'd probably do in this situation, is try to rule out whats working whats not

the triggers, DisplayOn/Display Off.......try using a different task, to test that the DisplayOn/Off event is actually being triggered/recognised, i.e. try alert > beep (make sure sounds not muted) or alert > flash (only works for display on as you cant see anything if displays off)

If the shield beeps when display on/off then you can rule out the trigger i.e. the profile events (display On/Off) and probably look more closely at the led light tasks. If the shield doesnt beep/flash when display On/Off, then its likely you need to look more closely at the event triggers Display On/Off

As for why having a lockscreen, probably the same reason i dont keep the front doors or windows ajar......plus, an unexpected benefit is, if i accidently wake the shield from sleep by moving my mouse or accidental button press, it sleeps again after 5 seconds(thanks to: display OFF > display timeout > 5 seconds).

When the display is unlocked, it changes the display timeout to 30 minutes.......i dont have to worry about the shield being accidently awake for an extended period of time.......adds some flexibility you know......like turn on bluetooth when "unlocked" not when "display" accidently "turned on" and set to 30minute display timeout(two seperate triggers)

Edit

It helps that i can also quickly unlock the shield by pressing a mapped button

I tried flash the image and got the write failure. Same with stock ROM. Now it boot stuck at nVidia logo

Any idea how to recover. Thanks!

Edit: I have fixed it by relock and unlock the bootloader.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] justkidding2009:
thanks a lot. I was finally able to manage it. To be honest I still don't know what the problem was exactly but I just tried the Display on / off event with the beep as you suggested.

That worked immediately. After that I created the profiles for the LEDs event new and suddenly they worked as well :)

I didn't know you can unlock the shield with a button. Are you using a button of the harmony for that?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] keith2012:
Just wanted to say thank you sooooo much for fixing my overscan issues with the stock apk ...I have spent days and downloaded everything trying to fix it ...thank you for all your hard work Zulu
[Shield Android TV Android Development] bigootang:
Zulu, I've not had access to reply until just now so first thing I wanted to do was say a massiveTHANKS for this amazing ROM. It is because of your development that I bought the Shield!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] deeciple:
Can you navigate the home screen with remote?

This looks like an awesome Rom and I agree that Nvidia should at least offer a full android option. Although I do admire them for being so open with the source and allowing people to modify their images like they do.

One quick question before I jump in. Can a remote be used to navigate through the home screen? I have seen many videos with people using a mouse but for my kids and wife this will not fly. If they cannot get around and open up the apps with a remote then I will take a lot of heat :eek:

Thanks,

Ken
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
yea the fix should be put in first posts now.

it is realy usefull.

Shield Android TV Marshmallow Vulkan Preview in full Android Style

https://youtu.be/kSqTD9A13FA

This is the stock firmware with some modifications. Mainly Nova Launcher as replacement of leanback launcher in system partition, Market Helper for apps compatibility, 230 default DPI in build.prop and some permissions added to have webcam in skype and to install apps like google plus.

With a restyle, you lose standard google play and status bar, but you can install every app with the help of market helper app or with website like apkpure.com or transfer the app from phone to Shield TV via es file explorer. The wifi will be worse, but you can use the controller in wireless mode.

The stock marshmellow vulkan preview is not ready for daily usage, many bugs, but when final version of Marshmallow will come out, a restyle like this can be sufficient ?

What do you think ? I need your suggestion, because i don't want lose many times in development if for you the stock restyle is sufficient.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Does the remote now fully work?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] duanim:
Banderos101 what about to notification like the apk called notication for android tv to work in booth ways or have a second home screen launcher in you tab for the shield tv of course you are not to going to see in the SATV but you can controller in you tab. Everything is possible for peoples that want to try and some skill to do it . Good luck
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
If is the stock firmware, what do you think ? works or not ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Sweet full access to play store and fully working remote sounds perfect to me. Let me know if you need testers I'm on 3.0 now.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
heh just a laucher change mostly,the lack of on screen button and general unstability of this should be a no for me.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
Im curious about this, "second screen" could you perhaps clarify this a little

Its funny you should mention this actually, if your saying what i think your saying, as one of the ideas running through my head is, "i wonder if there's any kind of vnc/screencast pop up overlay app/widget out there with tasker support hopefully, that i can make pop up when i open the airtask scene, so i can control the shield even further and have visual feedback while doing it"...........probably wishfull thinking, but im still curious about this "second homescreen" of which you speak......whats the app name if you dont mind me asking?

Edit

Sorry for offtopic zulu..............as for ontopic, pretty excited to see what marshmellow/vulcan/community might bring(graphics,new features, security updates, performance, bootloader fix, recoveries, kernels, roms, sources, documentation etc etc).......i guess time will tell
[Shield Android TV Android Development] duanim:
There not an app I believe, this is a wishful thinking, I am saying this because I used my droidmote app in my 7 " fire tab and I want more.

Like the current droidmote app interface but more, like the second home screen with favorities app and swicht interfaces like droidmote does ,mouse, keyboard and others things like you said in my 7" tab to control my SATV not seeing what happen in my SATV,I don't know if I can't explain better I want to control my SATV with my tab, no remote no gamepad, this is the basic control or a companion app. Off topic just thinking.

By the way Zullu99 this marshmallow full Android version looks good,but if this have so many bugs forge it.

I did mees my SATV pro version with this Vulkan 6.0 but its OK for now,I'll wait
[Shield Android TV Android Development] kennethmdavis:
Stock fw 3.0 just came out a couple hours ago.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] keith2012:
no ty i like the full android experience you have given us so if this will be the direction you go ill just use 5.1
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Funny, I just did a similar thing this weekend with 5.1 stock rooted and Nova Launcher! It's kind of nice because you get the working Nvidia controller and mic, but it is still pretty weak compared to your Full Android, but it is better than Leanback.

My only question is, were you able to get widgets and live backgrounds working in Nova Launcher? I basically just installed Nova Launcher from their website, and then Froze the Leanback Launcher. It almost feels like Nvidia left out the components/services for widgets and live backgrounds. Mainly need this for a desktop clock and weather app, as those are the first things I check every morning.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Oh also, there are A LOT of needed Android config dialogs missing when you do it this way, the main one I had issues with was the toggle button that displays or hides the onscreen keyboard, which was a total mess... Eventually I found it through a really obscure workaround.... But normally it is just there in the Input Config screen with a normal Android.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
Wait, i had'nt realised what zulu meant

Im with this guy, unless maybe, if the compatibility with the more "advanced" apps is also good with stock

If not, ill likely hang on to 5.1 for a while, so a vote for "full" android like your previous versions here.........but no obligation zulu, do whatever you have time to do, or inclination to do, as long as its still exciting for you to do so and does not feel like a chore........im sure they'll be plenty of appreciative folks around here whatever direction you take it in

[MENTION=308669]Zulu[/MENTION]

i need a stock rom with nova (my favorite launcher in rom 2.2) to bring back the real mouse behavior with gforce now game (fps). actually i can't use a mouse with fps game.. android send bad data to gforce now service and it is unplayable. Also the pointer is badly show in mouse/keyboard mode with fps games. i remember it was working with stock rom.

If i can install all apps with the market tool, it s ok for me.

Concerning the wireless gamepad, i use ethernet only so it s ok too.

or if you can fix or explain how to solve the mouse issue with gforcenow service, i would prefer a real full android rom.

a guy seems to fix the issue : "Ok. So for the mouse issue I was able to solve this after fumbling around with my tablet settings. On the NVIDIA shield (not sure about other Android tablets) you must disable the option in Settings>Controller>"Treat mouse as touch". Once disabled you will be able to right click and have the mouse track normally. Still unresolved on the other issues mentioned here, but hopefully this post will help others."

--> i can't set the controller with the 2.2 rom, or i miss something
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Zulu, with Marshmallow out now, any updates on full 6.0 version of your rom?

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

I think this is the right idea. While stock android is great, losing the controller use is a deal breaker for many.

I really like what you've done here, and I'd love to use this.

What are the downsides of this over stock android? Seems like with this, we are getting the best of both worlds.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] UppGr4de:
Same here, I'd rather have a working controller and remote. (although I still prefer the airmouse)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
if next rom is just a simple launcher change,i will concider it a failure,anyone can change a launcher.

but a full android is different.there someone who is porting cyanogen 13 to the shield tv and ill switch if the next full android is not a complete experience.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Go make a Rom yourself then you ungrateful person!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Don't be that guy.

He's not being ungrateful, he's providing feedback, which Zulu specifically asked for.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Saying he considers it a failure and that he will switch elsewhere was not really necessary.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Amd4life:
My vote is for whatever method/rom allows full use of the stock controller on marshmalliw
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Ludo13B:
Hey Zulu!

Thanks again for your work! :)

I vote for a full Android experience, like you did before. ;)

P.S. : I sold the Nvidia controller, and for the same price, bought two Xiaomi MI Gamepad, Android compatible. :p
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
I have to agree, just changing the launcher isn't really a "ROM"... It may not be easy for everyone, but if you can install an actual ROM, you should be able to figure out how to: ROOT +Install Nova Launcher APK + Freeze Leanback Launcher (in that order). I don't even think you need root to do it. IMO, the end result will be kinda meh though, but at least it is an option.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
actualy it is true what i said sound kinda hard,but changing the launcher and adding on screen buttons is easy,no need to root.

just install this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andyroid.launcher

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ace.jun.simplecontrol&hl=fr

the problem will be the rom stability.... lots of games and random apps will suffer of crashes just because they will not be meant to work on android tv.

ho yea you will need a task manager/ killer app because android tv doesn't have one. in case of crashes...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.taskmanager&hl=fr
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
I have noticed some minor glitches (with 5.1). The biggest problem I have with stock + other launcher is that the Mobizen app just won't work, which is super lame because that is my prefered remote connection app. Certain games also stutter and crash after freezing Leanback Launcher, and adding widgets seems to crash the launcher as well. HOWEVER...... Even with the crashes etc, still better than Leanback Launcher... But I hate advertisements, especially on my damned homescreen.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Look the screenshots, is based on the last today OTA.

Is not just a Launcher replacement, there is full google play inside with all apps installable and many others things.

With the Stock ReStyle Firmware we lose the status bar, but we earn all the stock functionalities, stock settings and the hardware accessories and i can create a new firmware very fast after every Nvidia update.

what do you think ?

Personally i think that this new firmware, will make everyone very happy, and even many Android TV users will adopt this modified version.

With a firmware like this, you can have everything. stock and full
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Looks perfect to me !
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
I'm confused.

Are your screenshots Nvidia Stock + new launcher,

or Full Android 6.0 with Nvidia apps installed?

Also, do you have screenshots of stuff like working desktop widgets, and the ability to use different on screen software keyboards, and full Android system settings?

[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] please keep devolving full android I hate android TV ...

This work that you have done has been a heaven sent..

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work

Thank you thank you thank you
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
This is exactly what I am looking for!

Thanks!

When will you release it ????

Any chance you could bake it Adblock & Xposed?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] r2d2_boss:
Grazie Mille [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] thanks for your hard work you deserve a beer, let's donate guy's [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION]
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Yes you can have widgets and different on screen keyboards, you can do everything you can do with full android. The difference is that you don't have status bar and you have the stock settings. But you have the standard google play with all apps.

Status bar very often was removed by us in full Android with xposed. You know the reasons.

About settings, is better have the hardware settings of the manufacturer, for hdmi settings, overscan and hatdware accessories like controller and remote.

I think will be the right compromise for all. For me is very usable in this way.

I use DroidMote to control, therefore i don't have limits but should be very good and also better for users that don't like control with the phone.

A firmware like this, will destroy Android TV because is better also for Android TV fans.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] keith2012:
im willing to try this when do you think it will be available?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] duanim:
What about the gamepad support in this full android 6.0 update, works
[Shield Android TV Android Development] keith2012:
if i understand correctly what he is saying EVERYTHING works in this build
[Shield Android TV Android Development] duanim:
That's what read but as far I know the last full android no support so how he made possible in this one. I hope this is true

Zullu99 can we have the regular stock launcher and another android launcher both of them working in the same ROM.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Yeah, sounds like the best way to go.

I just updated to 6.0, Leanback still frozen, but still can't apply widgets without it crashing Nova Launcher.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Also Zulu,

Any chance TeamViewer with work with your build? With stock we can connect, but cannot control.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
i have 3 question?

stock have no task view,

can you show the one you added for multitasking.

speaking of multitasking the build.prop add the new window manager that enaple multiple window support do you use it?

and how you can enable on screen buttons? (task,home and return?)

one last thing: android tv does not support europeans physical keyboards,only full android does this.

so how will you support those keyboards?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] netvlada:
for on screen buttons i use simple control app on stock lolipop.I have all ,home ,back and more.

For zulu restyle firmware, do we have working web cam skype and how to get skype notificatons when someone make call to me?

What willl be installation procedure for thet new firmware?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
no statut bar so dunno how it will show notification,because android tv have none,for the buttons thx i know i gave this trick already in my last post page 190...

im speaking about native system ones...

for the installation procedure it will be easy,you need whip and install stock firmware again then the new rom on top with another whip.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
If Nvidia will publish good source code, i will made two versions full Android and StockRestyle

StockRestyle is ready and i can publish it also tomorrow.

A stock firmware with full Google Play inside and an alternative launcher that you can change easly is something that many users want. Also Android TV users.

In StockRestyle you can have the controller and in full Android no, but this is also another reason why full Android work better. Nvidia to add controller functionalities add many garbage in the firmware in addition to the fact that Android TV by default lacks of many components necessary for many apps.

I tested also the Nvidia controller as mouse, like in Nvidia tablet, but after some hours of comparisions, DroidMote is many times better.

The Nvidia mouse on controller is not very fast and not precise for small movements, you can't have it on 90% of games and is not good to write text. Apart that in multi touch apps is not usable, for example for scroll, slide, zoom and others multi touch gestures. Also with the controller 100% working, mouse incluse, i need DroidMote for a better and full control of everything.

We all know that full Android is unbeatable but we need also a StockRestyle, i think.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
well,you dont answer about notifications,multitasking,keyboard settings support and other key fonctions sooo it kinda scare us yea... we know the mod stoped you for advertising 3rd party paid apps so we are scared you just put the minimum effort in the rom because of your lack of money reward basicaly.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
When i spoke about StockRestyle firmware, i spoke about this:

Shield TV StockRestyle Marshmallow Firmware Preview.

I'm testing everyting, soon i will upload. maybe tomorrow.

https://youtu.be/UOLdmjaCuOg

I'm just considering whether to start or not a specific thread in xda also for this firmware. Many of us know that in this thread i was attacked from an ungrateful user that forced me to remove from my signature that i'm the developer of DroidMote. The administrator imposed this to me after this user complains.

Now i'm just thinking what do, but do not worry, in a way or in another you will be able to do everything with your Shield TV thanks to my development, also if i must publish my works in others places where i can remove forever the ungrateful user.

StockRestyle is a better alternative to the stock firmware before we have full Android 6.

( full Android 6 is possible only if Nvidia publish good source code nad specific binaries and not break things, as I expect. )

To have all the latest info, follow me in Google Plus.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
rules are rules zulu,no one is better or on top of the rules and you just had to follow them like everyone does.

ungratefull or not.

now lets speak about the video you put.

the lack of task view,the lack of notification center and the lack of multitasking kinda worry me .

now lets see for nvidia marshmalow sources for tegra x1 you got:

this

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

this

https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source

and this

https://android.googlesource.com/device/google/dragon/

https://android.googlesource.com/device/google/dragon-kernel/

it is still a lots more than what we had for 5.2.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] s--c:
Can one use xposed with stock restyle?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
So does this mean that Zulu could do a full Marshmallow Android without losing the controller/netflix & youtube 4K/etc.?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
sadly nope the controller code is still android tv only.

same as some 4k app support.

this is why he want to do a reskin of android tv but it is a bad idea in the long term.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Why? What are we even missing out on with him baking stuff in?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Make you're own ROM!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
mostly ,the sources,the code cant be just copypasted.

without source we cant locate the code or just know how it work.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Specifically, what can't you do on Zulu's modified stock, that you can do on full android?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
i messed one time with a reskin of 1.3.

most bugs was:

well apps like skype will have strange compatibility issues.

same as some other apps that use some missing system files.

task switcher (the square button) will not work.

and notifications and statut bar ,default on screen buttons will not work.

multitasking (using more than one app in same time) will be problematic because android tv have those parts removed.

you will have android tv settings panel.

but in the other hand yes you gain the compatibility with some leanback apps.

you will have the controller and remote working.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] bchrisream@yahoo.com:
So can I update to the new android 3.0 with Marshmallow while running this or what do I have to do first to get the new 3.0 update while I am using the full android rom? thx
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darktyroll:
[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION]

I think you need to add a new thread for StockRestyle firmware, people should use separate roms and talk/ask separate questions/bugs.
