Happy Shield TV Setup

Very happy with my Shield TV setup now.

I gave the stock experience a go for a good week before getting fed up of the limitations of Android TV, despite loving the well polished user interface.

Now running full Android 5.1 (v2.2 of zulu99's build), rooted with TWRP recovery and Xposed framework installed.

With a variety of Android TV apps sideloaded from apkmirror.com, I'm now pretty close to having everything which I had before on stock:

Slick, remote-friendly launcher: HALauncher (with lovely background / wallpaper images)

SHIELD Remote as primary input / control device, 90% functional (physical buttons, volume control, audio output when heaphones connected all work, microphone doesn't work yet)

Remote-friendly TV versions of Netflix, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, Emma for Spotify and SHIELD Hub / GeForce Now

Casting entire screen (or specific cast-enabled apps such as Netflix) from Android works and performs well enough to cast an entire movie

With all the numerous advantages of having full android, such as:

Multiple user accounts / profiles (my wife's Spotify plays no longer feed into my last.fm profile, thank god!)

Fully automated video downloading setup, thanks to Pushbullet, Advanced Download Manager and Tasker

Chrome web browser, for web browsing on your TV (finally!)

Casting screen from wife's Macbook Air and/or iPhone now works too, thanks to app "AirPlay Mirroring Receiver"

Thanks to all here who have helped get me to this stage! - primarily zulu99 for his full Android build, but everyone else who has helped by sharing tips/tricks to improve various bits of the experience.

The only thing left to get working as far as I'm concerned is the SHIELD Remote microphone.

This is a really frustrating one, as it's such a nice to have feature and really makes it feel like a futuristic device when you never need to type anything again - Google's voice recognition is outstanding.

I'm also at a bit of a loss as to what to investigate next with it; I've attempted to debug the remote from my PC but could only get it to create a single uni-directional A2DP channel for audio playback.

I guess I should start trying to dig through the kernel modules included in the stock system image.

Anyway, here's the top bit of my home screen:

and a few other screenshots showing the rest of the home screen, settings and the microphone issue.

How do you change the home launcher without changing away from stock.

Almost a real Android now!

Loving some of the setups you guys have! I'll have to get to work on setting mine up.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] justkidding2009:
Hey,

how did you manage it to have the volume buttons of the Shield TV remote working?

I am also running zulus' Full Android and paired the remote with bluetooth but the volume buttons are not working...

Did you do anything special? :)

A working microphone would make it just perfect ;)

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] andrewthecoder:
I'm actually not entirely sure, the volume slider on the remote wasn't working for me initially either.

I had written it off as something that wasn't going to work, but then noticed it was working accidentally later on after I'd set up more apps.

I believe all I did between the time where it wasn't working and started working was:

Install a few apps made for Android TV (e.g. Netflix, BBC iPlayer, HALauncher, Emma for Spotify)

Disconnect and reconnect the controller a few times

Restart the Shield TV (NSTV) a few times

If you give the above a try and the volume controls on your remote are still not working, post in my other thread about the remote and I'll try and narrow down what's making it work for me!
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] justkidding2009:
Thanks for your support.

I will test that during the weekend :)

Are the volume buttons for you only working inside HAlLauncher or also in the "normal" Android Launcher?

Only question is how did you get such detailed shortcuts to android apps/android processes?

Mac/iPhone fanboy here. I love jailbreaking my iPhone and playing around with my rooted shield has been very fun and a great learning experience. Who knows maybe if iOS 10 doesn't add anything new or good I may have to switch to Android, this is fun :D

Using a 50 inch 4k tv. Running at native 4k with "resolution switcher" app.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] n1gh7mar3:
There are 3 ways off the top of my head that I can think of...

1. Use super favorites extension to edit the activity to open the settings screen.

2. Use a Kodi build specifically for the shield. http://spmc.semperpax.com

3. Use an app that links to the settings activity. I would love to give credit to someone for this but don't know where I got the app myself.

Its great

Is there any possibility to configure HAlauncher to auto-open the launcher just when you turn on Shield TV??

I mean, when you turn on the Shield, instead of opening the original shield launcher, I would like to auto open directly the HAlauncher.

Anyone knows if it is possible????

Thanks in advance!!

I'd love to have the "exact" setup you have. Is there any way you'd be willing to share your process and apps/tools used for that setup. That's the slickest Shield setup I've seen THUS FAR! Respect my man.......RESPECT!

Only a few app i can go back to kodi with the back button form the remote but spotify and netflix not.

In your video it is working, is this comming because you have rooted the shield and are not using leanback launcher?

First I rooted using CF-Auto-Root by Chainfire Root was verified working used the tablet for a couple hours. Then I booted into TWRP and did a back up and factory wipe then installed IronRom When the installation was complete it said rebooting but TRWP seemed to freeze. So I held the power button until it turned off. It automatically rebooted to the Samsung GALAXY TAB S boot image and thats now where its stuck. If I Hold the power button it does nothing. If I hold the volume down with the power button it shuts off for about a sec or 2 and come right back to the Samsung GALAXY TAB S boot image and stays there. Is there any hope for me?

Model is a T800. was running 4.4.2.

[LG Optimus L90] krchi:
So the in Storage under settings it doesnt recognize the sd card? Also did you have to format the card to fat32?
[LG Optimus L90] Sadcamp:
Im pretty sure every MicroSD card that you put in an Android has to be formatted in Fat32. Will not recognize any other format; AFAIK
[LG Optimus L90] crosswire:
Does it work smoothly even when the used space exceeds 32Gigs? Say when you store files up to about 40GB?

Hi,

I have broken my sons Nook by trying to install CM11 on so he could install and play newer games.

The error message I am getting is Error 7 everytime I try and upload the ROM. I have googled and googled and cant find an answer as it seems to be the newest one. 6.0.4.6 status 7

I have tried a restore, from the 2 x back ups I did however some file is corrupt and it gets stuck on boot.

If you go in to recent apps, you can grab a multi view capable app by its header and drag it on to the screen. It turns the app in to a pop up window. So if you're using the browser in full or split view doing this turns it in to a pop up preserving all your info.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Alta1r:
You can also do that by dragging down your current active window from the left or right top corner, drag it down to the center of the screen. Need so practice before u get it done, but when u do it correctly u will feel so easy haptic feedback.

If u got root and have an app like MW Commander which u use to make every app multi window, it will also enable this pop up view for all apps.

Hey there. Are you getting a Note 5? It's really an amazing phone and you and I both go through enough phones to know the difference. Samsung's pulled a bunch of features and settings out and I miss some. But the benefit of thinner and lighter s/w paired with uber fast memory and storage is a smoothness and tightness you'd expect from an iPhone. It's pretty too. ;)

You would access it by opening the side panel (thats now gone from the note 5) and then simply tapping the app you want. It would bring it up as a floating app.
