I know, I just remembered I had this one in use on other device and decided to test it just to see if I could power off shield with it, I tested it earlier on shield before and notticed I could get it in sleep mode with, but never tried to press and hold the power button before... :p. But one thing is true, all mouses work funny on android tv / leanback launcher (at least the one's I've tried), I have a logitech k700 keyboard + touchpad combo, keyboard works great but the mouse cursor stops moving after a few minutes of use. :confused:

As I said before, the remote I intend to use on shield is a minix neo a2 lite, I borrowed one from a friend to teste personally on my shield and it works fine, appart from fast forward and rewind keys, but (on kodi) I just have to use left and right d-pad keys to do the same. ;)

Thanks to you, I have one less problem to solve on my shield, thank you very much! :good::good::good:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I have different need, i use all apps and games on my TV not only kodi and i don't like limitations, for this reason i use only my app droidmote to control the Shield TV and others android tv box. It work very well on both firmwares stock and full Android.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Grippen50:
Well I don't think I can do that with the harmony. I tried long press nothing happens. But I will have to dig in to see if I can configure something. For sure long press doesn't exist on it reason why this doesn't work. I have to see if I can configure one button to send signal for more time. I think it's related with this, power button always send a stream and that is because the button in activities will control more then one device. Anyway right now I have an app for this and a button in the launcher pity I don't have a restart option. However the launcher developer said he may be including a power button on the launcher desktop hopefully will have restart option also.

One question I do a Bluetooth keyboard with a power button on it, but it doesn't work, nothing happens when I press it, any ideas why?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
could be just a sleep button,my keyboard has sleep but when you hold it,nothing happend,the shield just turn off the screen but it stay on and wake up the screen when you move again.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Grippen50:
Well its a no action button I think LOL nothing happens either with one click or long press. It's weird it doesn't work I think. Maybe any of those mapping apps will solve the problem, will have to look into it.

mouse issue with gforce now game

hi there ! i experiment 2.2 rom and i really recommand it.

but i have ONE big issue with the mouse while playing gforce now games.

There are double pointers in all games : Android pointer + streamed pc mouse pointer.

The effect is very annoying because i can't play FPShooter anymore... Android cursor is still displayed and it interacts wrong with the stream cursor. The mouse precision is horrible, terrible effects... and settings doesn't help, i tried all without success.

Note that

i did NOT experiment this problem before

with stock rom.

What's wrong ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Grippen50:
I truly doubt that is an issue of this ROM. When did you install this ROM? Nvidia Hub and GfE had recent updates. Plus Nvidia doesn't say Nvidia hub only works with their own ROMs so if this problem exists it will exist in other devices for sure. Try Moonlight its much better than the Hub. You can try other streaming combos that exist with server PC and Android Clients. GfE is ok but the hub sucks. I'm using Moonlight now and it's much better.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] redgabber:
I think you are right. I m not sure it's due to the rom. I just comment what i see. It was working with stock rom maybe because the gforce HUB was outdated or something else... actually, it does not work and i must solve the prb asap because i play with mouse with gforce games.

Moonlight description says : "This app is specifically for rooted devices. It enables full mouse capturing which is not possible without root. This means no double cursor or being limited to the bounds of the screen."

That means the double cursors is a known issue.

But Moonlight seems to work with Gamestream from local pc only, not Gforce now services.

??
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Grippen50:
Ah wait you are talking about GfN nevermind than :\
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
What's a solid Shield TV remote replacement that's similar in style/design/size/shape?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] redgabber:
if someone have the old 'gforce now' app .apk, not HUB, i could check... i m bored with this bug??? very very annoying

Edit: i tried older HUB apk, but same prb

Maybe the amazon fire tv one

Logitech F-710 issues

First off, let me say thanks for this great ROM. I've had my 16GB Shield for just 3 days, an disliked the stock front-end right from the get-go. This stock experience is so much better.

Now to my issue: I attached my Logitech F-710 to the unit via its USB transceiver, and the controller's operation is very erratic. Button presses frequently go undetected, and/or a single button press results in several being sent. I have tried two sets of batteries in the controller... same results... so I'm pretty sure it's not that. Also, I am no more than 4 feet away from the Shield when testing.

Any ideas what might be causing this, and possible remedies?

Thanks.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Grippen50:
Did you try to switch from dinput ot xinput or vice versa?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
battery or reception issues?then dunno. you should check the android compatibility on the net.

or try to use a powered hub if the port have juice problem.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] imacmill:
Yes, I tried both, and same result regardless.

[Edit]: I am going to try to get my PS3 Sixaxis working.

Who can test a FPShooter game from Gforce Now with a mouse ? just to see if you have the same issue about double pointer and mouse bug like me ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I'm not very sure, but i think that the wireless dongle of the F710 controller, create some interferences with Shield TV. Try with a long usb cable and at end of this cable connect the wireless dongle. The wireless dongle must be the most far as possible from Shield TV. This help. Therefore i experienced your same problem with this controller. Instead the 360 controller that have a more long cable connected to the wireless part of receiver, work very well.

Also with others Chinese Android TV box, when i tested some input devices for comparision reasons, I noticed very strange behavior when a wireless receiver is connected. Not with all, but frequent. I don't know the real reason of these strange behaviors, is possible that the wireless signal not standard , can interfere with some hardware components inside the device.

In general, with an Android TV box, if you are using a wireless receiver and you note strange behaviours, the first thing to try is remove this dongle.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
This is an ancient problem with Microsoft Windows, and is caused by the way the Geforce Experience software works and not related to this rom. There is no real single solution to the problem either, other than just not using the software causing it.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
probably a 2.4 ghz frequency problem that can interfere with the wifi.

it can happend,this is why wifi start to use 5ghz.

anyway the cable coold be an idea.

I am a REALLY big fan of this one, the battery seems to last for months, and it recharges quickly:

[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:

[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
No, but their Pro version has one:

http://www.amazon.com/Mele-Wireless-Keyboard-Intelligent-Computer/dp/B00DI4GMVG (Sold out on Amazon, but you can find them for around $30 USD)

It was cool, but I don't use mic's though.

Never get the Melee remotes that take batteries though, as I have one of them too and it eats 2 batteries a week!

I don t use GFExperience but HUB and Gforce Now.

I don't know if it s due to the rom or something else but i confirm that it was working very nice and i played hours on FPS games before i decide to flash the 2.2 zulu rom.

i repeat it was working like a charm without any double pointer with mouse and keyboard, even with the gamepad . i used the right gamepad to strafe and the mouse to view and fire and it was excellent !

Now, it's broken... :( rom or not ? hub app or not ? i don't know but it suxx

If someone could check it would be nice...
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Looks like it happens in the stock rom as well, unless that is also you?:

[Edit: regarding F-710 behavior problems]

Thanks, Z99. I don't have a USB extension cable to try, so what I did instead was install Sixaxis all and mynPS3 controller works beautifully through Bluetooth. I am not going to bother sorting out the F-710.

Something else of interest, though: I received a MINIX NEO A2 Lite remote control today (and really love it from an operational standpoint, but not so much ergonomically), and it works beautifully on its 2.4GHz dongle. Perhaps the F-710 dongle is just low quality?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Usually i don't like airmouse because for mouse functionalities are not confortable when you are lying on the couch or in bed. The mouse movement is not precise and the scrolling is very very bad.

I can't also do pinch to zoom, rotate and others gestures like swipe up down left right, and in many games the normal mouse is not supported, you can't click.

For this reason i use my phone to control my Shield TV and others android TV box.

For touch games there is another long story that you already know.

The new Amazon fire tv game controller 2015 edition works, I get it to pair, but then I can't get sound to work at all.

Not through the headset, nor through my TV.

I'm super bummed. I picked up two of these expecting them to work.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] lartomar2002:
Go to this Amazon.com page http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ps&field-keywords=air+mouse+with+microphone.+ There are many with a mic and some even have a speaker plus a learning key.

A very useful app that not many users know:

n2n android version

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zhoubug.n2n_gui&hl=en

n2n windows version

https://www.vpnhosting.cz/n2nguien.exe

In windows use the same supernode that you find in the android app when you select n2n_v2

Mainly you can connect a device under NAT to another device under NAT. When both devices not have a public IP

examples:

both devices are under a gateway

your shield tv at house to the computer in your office

the computer of your office to shield tv at your house

a phone in your office to shield tv

Expose a service that is inside a virtual machine etc. etc.

you create a virtual private network that reach also devices under NAT

can work with all services that need a tcp connection, maybe also with nvidia streaming games from pc to shield tv if you can insert an ip

otherwise, as you know, there are many others services for game streaming in local network.

the beauty here is that you can create a local area network over internet and is also very secure.

tested with Shield TV, Windows 10, Galaxy S6 and work very well.

i suggest this app for the creation of the virtual private network not for remote desktop functionality, for which you can find better apps like splashtop or others. but when you have IP visible you can do everything.

The limit is only your upload bandwidth
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
try to select the sound output device with soundabout app,the remote could have a sound output that mess with the shield.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
What's the soundabout app?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
i don't understand why a controller should have the audio if you have bluetooth to do that. However try to disable usb audio routing in developer settings. You should solve.

But is so difficult buy a standard / normal directinput controller also of 5$ if you need an hardware controller ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
yes, but I still want to be able to plug in a head set for audio to the controller.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
i suggest bluetooth headset that is better. An usb audio out device work for sure, i tested many, but i'm not in the mind of the person that invented your controller. I not know how it made the audio out on your controller.

when i use Netflix with a bluetooth headset, i use the normal version not the android tv version because the standard app work better with bluetooth headset
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
That's a bummer, it could also be that Amazon has made the devices proprietary to their hardware. It even says on a few of the Amazon listings "Only compatible with the all-new Fire TV ".

http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Controller-Compatible-All-New-Ultra/dp/B00NO8LX7E

I personally use one of these, both on my SHIELD and on my PC:

http://www.amazon.com/Cideko-Air-Ke...54699968&sr=8-1&keywords=cideko+air+conqueror (No mic though)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
but you can use it without problems, disable usb audio routing in developer options and if you need private listening you can use a bluetooth headset.

I don't understand why some users will complicate the life this way
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Complicate?

Adding more devices is what complicates things. If I can use the built in headset option why wouldn't I?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Because Amazon don't want. Is simple. Or better because Android by default not support this functionality. But you could read this also on Internet before buy. For sure many others users tested this controller on phones and tablets.

I'm referring on this about the "complicate" word used.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Gotcha,

I only picked them up because users here told me it worked.

Is there anything you could possible do to get it working with this build?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
i really don't know, i'm sorry.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:

Question on your fantastic ROM.

Hello [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION], Xda members,

First I would like to thank for the work zulu99, because it unlocks Nvidia Shield TV potential !

I have 3 questions for you:

1- Does your Android ROM 5.1 version supports USB DAC audio devices ? I'm asking as I need to connect the Nvidia Shield to my Playbar from Sonos. Something like that: maudio super dac (sorry can't post the link because of newbie status).

2- Does streaming game with Moonlight work ?

3- Does Logitech unifying (with mice) work ?

Thanks by advance for your help.

Regards,

Romain.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
1 yes if they are already compatible with regular android.

2 it should.

3 yes keyboard with mouse combo are working,i am using one right now.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] barichon21:
Thnaks for the reply

1- How to know if DAC is compatible with android none of the model I have found specify it ?

ESI Dr. DAC Prime

M-Audio Super DAC

U-CONTROL UCA202

2- Not sure, it will work. I am asking this because for example I have updated my LG G3 with this rom: and moonlight gives an error:

This device or rom doesn't support hardware accelerated H264 playback.

3- Thanks for the answer :)

Romain.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] bchrisream@yahoo.com:
Yes I have a rii wireless mini keyboard touchpad air mouse with a headphone jack 3.5mm downloaded soundabout selected the type of earbuds I plugged into my controller and bam worked nicely so thanks to ever who suggested that app! and as the other guy said I always used bluetooth headset when needed works perfect easy to use but it is nice to know that now if the batteries are dead or whatever I can use the 3.5mm jack in my controller as a backup :)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] barichon21:
Do we know something about the kernel version ? Does the kernel is >=3.11 ?

I need to know if the drivers "snd-usb-hiface" is in that rom. Does anyone of you can do a command such as: sudo insmod snd-usb-asyncaudio ?

Regards,
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
1) yes

2) yes

3) i don' know because i use only DroidMote to control my Shield TV and others Android TV box. In this way i can control everything also multi touch apps and games.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
np :p android realy need a sound manager.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] barichon21:
Thanks [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] for replying. Can you please let le know which kernel version this rom is using ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Should be 3.10.61. Is the stock kernel, in this firmware we don't have a custom kernel like in the Nexus Player. For shield tv i developed only the system.img, all others parts are stock.

Sorry for the late response, today i'm not at house.

In setting -> about device you can see the precise version.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] barichon21:
Hello [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION], thanks for your reply.

Can you just tell me if doing: sudo lsmod snd-usb-asyncaudio

I don't have the nvidia shield yet ;)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
I am trying to get this SoundAbout app to work. I get errors and it doesn't seem to work. I had to download the APK since playstore says my shield is incompatible.

Do I need root?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
it works,try latest version.

it need root yes but this rom is rooted, lots of app apear not compatible but they are. it is just a mall market problem.

you should use market helper. it is free and with that you can download uncompatible apps from the marketplace.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Makes sense.

I haven't switched to this yet. I'm currently waiting for Marshmallow, then when this switches to Marshmallow I'll make the jump. If I can get a good controller that functions.

I wanna sell my Nvidia controller and pick up a game controller that has a Headphone jack on it with voice/mic. I was hoping the Amazon Fire TV 2 game controller would do this, but the audio issues are frustrating.

android initial configuration

hello i recently instal full android for my shield tv now im in the initial set up process but my shield does not recognize the X, B, X and Y buttons to continue the set up....what can i do in this situation?......thank for your attention
[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
If you happen to be using stock controller, it doesnt work on this rom

If you happen to have any RF 2.4ghz devices like a mouse or keyboard, that should help you get past this screen initially

Might be other methods, but someone else will have to provide that knowledge, if there is'nt, and your dead set on sticking with this rom, might be worth investing in a cheap RF mouse/keyboard+touchpad (they tend to come in handy on many devices over the years)

Edit

"they tend to come in handy on many devices over the years"

The bluetooth versions, more then the RF versions, but the RF versions do come in handy.........such as your situation, where you cant get to the bluetooth settings

If you happen to have a usb mouse, that should work too.

Having an issue again... maybe you can help?

Hi Zulu,

Thanks again for everything. I've run into another issue.

Last night I opened TWRP, did a backup, then did a wipe and factory reset. I then tried to restore backups from your ROM.

None of them worked, though one appeared to. When I rebooted I could not longer get into recovery (perhaps it failed during flash) so I resorted to trying to flash stock nvidia images one by one. I'm getting the same fastboot error remote: partition write failed for recovery, system, userdata, etc.

Is my hardware damaged? Can I get TWRP back on here? I have my backups on SD Card.

:eek:

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
I am looking for a Gamepad controller that works with this wireless but has the following:

XBOX 360/One style

Voice search/mic on the controller just like the shield

Headphone jack on the controller.

Are there/is there? I tried the new Amazon game controller, I got it to connect, but like I already mentioned, it breaks audio.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
i can't assist you on TWRP recovery. is not my work.

I use FlashFire to backup and restore firmwares on Shiled TV and it work.

If you don't have the twrp recovery, maybe because you restored the stock firmware that reinstalled the stock recovery at first boot.

you can reinstall everything with fastboot. If you have problems, check your usb cable, make sure to have the last fastboot executable. If you can access fastboot menu, you can reinstall the stock firmware and after the full android system.img as explained in the first post.

you can reinstall the stock recovery firmware 2.1 following this page: ( i suggest to use the flash_all.bat command to reflash everything, after you can reinstall full android with fastboot as explained in first post )
