Hi guys!

Do you know any Xposed mod that works with this ROM v.1.3 so as to make all the UI black? I refer to the OS UI. At night, with all the lights off, all that whiteness burns your eyes!

Certain Xposed mods work great with this ROM.

Cheers.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
If there will be a version 1.4, could you please include whatever is necessary to enable the activity to open overscan.apk

My television is older and it has been impossible for me to get the screen to decrease in size. I know CM had the activity built in which could open the app, but on your aosp it seems to be missing.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
My tv adapt the screen automatically, i not use overscan app, but

if the overscan app is inside, or you sideload it, you can create a shortcut with the app QuickShortcutMaker

like in this video: https://youtu.be/NMqz8e33oq8

in this way you can run also others leanback-only apps.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] treezy26:
I'm having issues with certain games not working with my gamepad. For example, hungry shark evolution works fine with a gamepad on stock but on this ROM it doesn't. Why is that?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
Google play will give you a different version on the apk based on which version of the store you have. The leandack version of the play store will give you the "TV version" of the app. I had the same issue with the Mickey Land of Illusion game and others.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] treezy26:
So I'm sure I can find this apk on apkmirror?

Never mind. I found it. THanks.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
Yes on some apps, they should say something about leanback on apkmirror. If it's a paid app, it's almost impossible to get if you are not using the leanback based ROMs.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] treezy26:
I have a question... If I install the leanback version will I still be able to download apps that aren't available for the Player?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
I have tried this a few different ways and have been unsuccessful. If you find a way to have both play stores or easily switch between store, please let me know.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] treezy26:
So I can't get the leanback version to install and there's no way to uninstall updates. So how did you get it to install?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
I kind of gave up trying honestly and switched to pure nexus leanback for this reason. You might be able to flash gapps, if it's written like the open gapps and remove the other versions of the apps before it installs the new verson. I would read the script that is included with the leanback gapps before trying this. Remember at your own risk.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
If you need a good selection of games that you can play on TV i suggest to look this:

https://plus.google.com/collection/MJ8l3

Many of this games are touch-only games, but in the description you can find also the link of the touch profile.

This are all compatible with Shield TV, many of this can work also on Nexus Player.

If the game not support immersive mode, with xposed you can force immersive mode, therefore all touch profiles are compatible also for Nexus Player

Nexus Player and Shield TV have the same screen resolution for games 1920x1080

If you can't find some games in Google Play, you can take a look also in apkpure.com
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] treezy26:
So I read and read but I'm still a little confused on how this exactly works??? Droidmote seems awesome but I don't understand how it works. Do I need another Android phone/tablet for it to work or just a controller?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
I have attempted to use quick shoetcutmaker as well as an app called activity launcher in order to try to launch the overscancalibrator.apk with no success. I continuously get a toast that "this activity cannot be found"

I tried installing overscancalibrator.apk as a user app as well as copying the .apk to /system/priv-app and changing permissions to match the other apps in the same folder(rw,r,r) and neither way will work with the above mentioned activity launchers.

Can someone who has successfully done this advise me on what I am missing here please?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
I did some investigating for an alternative to the overscan calibrator activity(which just would not work for me) and found this app pictured as a recommendation.

The app allowed me to set overscan adjustment as well as adjust the DPI to 213 and changes implement on the fly. 213 is supposed to be a default TV for android on a set top box, makes it so everything stretches correctly to utilize the wide screen on our TV's without cutting off portions of pop up boxes.

Glad I got something figured out[emoji41] and I def recommend giving this free, and useful app a try should you have a similar issue as mine. The app also features a per-app adjustment, in case you don't plan on using xposed+app settings

I control every app and i play all games, games multi-touch-only and games with controller support just with my android phone.

But, to play games, if you want, you can also tether an hardware controller to your phone or install both client and server on Nexus Player and connect via loopback address 127.0.0.1. In the last config you can also connect the hw controller directly to Nexus Player and use droidmote touch profiles for touch-only games. Like in this video: https://youtu.be/HDAT59PyYT0

But to control all apps in general and control touch-only games i suggest to use direcly just the phone. The software controller of DroidMote is more suitable and simple for touch-only games, apart the fact that in many touch-only games you need also the touchmouse because a normal mouse is not supported, so you can't click on menu or pass some screens without the touchmouse.

Google April security update

Just curious....

Grazie
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] rvjr.arch:
I tried installing this last night, but the lack of a USB mouse only got me as far as the TWRP Swipe to allow modifications screen. I'll be more prepared tonight when I borrow a mouse from work and I try again. I'm looking forward to having a tablet experience on my Android TV...I do have one question:

Being that this is full android, would apps like Optimum, used for streaming live TV (which does NOT allow casting from phone/tablet to TV) work on this ROM? I have tried sideloading the app on the stock ROM and it FCs. Has anyone tried this?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
I figured as much. Would you try this?

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
get the new apk from stock firmware, if you need this keyboard.

this is the new apk tested.

https://mega.nz/#!qdYGjQTb!btItfl0GAoOzWZ59A69rCDoY6NKSE9R1S3gvkq0yLy8

install like a normal apk.

Please, we must find first if there are serious problems. and after we can add all others little things. help me in this.

Test well netflix normal app and the leanback version and please let me know if there are problems.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Cool man. Thanks for the link. I'll try it out!

No serious issues for me really. Normal Netflix works fine, but leanback Netflix constantly gives me can't play title errors. As I stated in my previous post. Other than that, so far so good!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
Not sure if this a problem with just the build or M thing. I downloaded GTA vice city from the play store (about 1.5ish GB game), it played great, but when in uninstalled it, the 1.5gb files were still occupying my NP. I had to use a file explorer, search for the game files and delete them. Let me know if you need any additional info.

Also had some trouble mounting a hard drive that worked on the lollirock version but I think I just need to back it up and format it from the TV.

Love this build, so snappy with performance!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
I also noticed when I use UHD wallpaper it sizes wrong big and blurry.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey Zulu,

Tried the keyboard you linked and still no go. It'll install properly, but I can't enable it. Won't appear under input method. Did you say you had tested this keyboard?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Play in the settings and you will find it. You must enable in language and input, enable keyboard. when enabled you can chose it. i tested before send the apk to you. :)

Chrome hangs and crashes all the time, might just be chrome.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:

Do you have System webview installed ? Chrome work very well in my configuratiion.

I'm writing this message with Nexus Player and Chrome.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Is in Language and input , Current Keyboard, choose a keyboard. Enable the leanback version. After in current keyboatd you can select the Lenanback version.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
I suggest also to go in development settings and set the windows, transition and animation scale to 0.5

restart

To have a firmware even faster.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] georgecarstoiu:
Has anyone tested how the casting goes with TuneIn or Google Music? Had problems in the past with discover-ability in these two apps.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
No I did not! Thanks! Much better! Weird, shouldn't systemwebveiw.apk install with chrome or update after?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
Very strange. I cast all the time and have not had an issue with casting yet.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Suggestion for all.

Uninstall Chrome and install Chrome Beta. The beta version work better with Android 6 and expecially in this firmware.

With the normal version you can see some problems when you go in full screen on videos. And i note also others strange problems, like the browser consume many resources.

UPDATE:

This is a problem. From tomorrow i must ivestigate and solve. To understand the problem, play a video in browser and go in full screen.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Got it! Got it!

Haha.. that was surprisingly tricky for me. Duhhhh.

Thanks buddy!!

Live Wallpapers

I did as instructed, replaced both folders and changed folder and .apk file permissions and I still get the same error :(

/system/app/LiveWallpapers

Is there anything else I must do?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
the new 1.1 firmware in first post have this already inside. i tested some live wallpapers.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Mefesto87:
Is possible to use cast funtionality on this?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
sure and work well. you need only an app for full screen before you cast. because we have the naviogation bar by default. but is a thing that an user can also remove from build.prop
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
Anyone use Showbox app? Mine hangs and freezes all the time but same show playing smooth on nexus 6, I starting to think nexus player not cacheing enough of the video maybe? Can someone try it and let me know, about five minutes into show or movie it will freeze and stutter.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys,

Can everyone Cast without issue? I've completely lost Cast capabilities. Nexus Player won't appear in any of my devices. It was working, though sporadically, with the previous version. Thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Some problems that you see on some apps, all coming from one problem that i'm investigate.

I found out what is the problem, now i'm working for the fix.

I hope to solve soon.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
Netflix non-leanback works great no 1080 but all is well! I don't have Leanback version but I'll see if I can find and try that.

I have YouTube Leanback and non-leanback and Leanback version seems to not buffer as much.

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] jacoghi:
Can't cast as well. Haven't installed version 1.1, though. Will do it tomorrow.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Same here. No Cast. Is 1.1 supposed to offer Cast fix? I haven't tried it yet.

I'm ivestigating another problem, but only now i see that CAST stop working. I thing that google are trying to disable it from remote.

Google is starting to become a serious worm inside our own devices.

The problem is that you may not know when Google steps in to disable something.

Until two days ago it worked well.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Thanks dude! Really appreciate your good work!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
One moment, please.

Investigating why cast functionality are not working today, when two days ago are working very well, i found one thing.

If i update google cast receiver on nexus player ( the apk is updated today )

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...receiver-1-16-45911-x86-android-apk-download/

it work again.

i updated also googler play services on my phone, but i think this is not necessary.

let me know
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
I have casted to every device I have from every tablet, phone, ect. Although it does work it is very buggy in 6.0 devices, hangs, freezes and force closing. Google has some work to do here. Zulu99 will probably fix faster.

My info nexus 6, 9, 10 and player, vizio tv, Samsung TV, tronsmart Draco meta, mx 8, Asus router, 60 Mbps down, 7 Mbps up.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
I confirm that after update google cast receicer the chromecast functionality are working very well.

And also the firmware seem faster. maybe because the old one cast apk create problems inside the firmware.

Thanks Google for the update.

Now i have to fix only the last one thing. The component libisv_omx_core have problems. The error is in AOSP

Mainly on some apps, when you put the video in full screen, you see a green bar.

In all standard apps that we use there isn't this problem, but if you want see the problem in action open chrome browser and open some videos of youtube mobile, not youtube full desktop version. Or if you have some videos in the photo app, try put the video in full screen.

The problem is on libstagefrighthw.so that open libisv_omx_core.so to do this operations.

Dear Google read, and help us to solve. The problem is in AOSP and for sure will create some problems also on stock rom.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] gravewormx:
I can confirm that after updating the Google Cast Receiver app, the cast capabilities are working (with a few problems). The cast function seems to hang a few seconds before starting, Netflix is giving me a message to update my app even though it's already on the newest version, and I couldn't get WatchESPN to cast.

Apps that I can confirm working:

Google music, YouTube, TuneIn Radio, HBO Go,Pocket Cast, At Bat

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the navigation and status bar when casting content to the TV?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
How can I rename nexus player? I have multiple nexus players and when casting to one it can be confusing.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

Zulu99 touched on this in post 60 of this thread (edit build prop) or use apk hide system bar link below. Leave it in normal mode, super mode doesn't seem to work. When it hides swipe up from bottom to return. Also if you need on screen keyboard you have to swipe down from top click hide/unhide and the original bar will return, onscreen keyboard will now work again. Full screen immersive app says with pro version you can set on per app basis.

UPDATE: bought pro version of (Full screen immersive app) and per app works great so far I'll keep trying it, it however doesn't work with Leanback YouTube or Netflix cause as bar hides gray overlay and pause everything.

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] rawdealer:
Thanks. :)

But funny anyway. On stock rom (and default YT off course) is 1080p also.

[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] - Wow! Just Amazing!!

Got the Nexus Player yesterday and flashed this one today and gotta tell you, it's amazing piece of work.

My main apps, WatchESPN, Kodi, Chrome Beta (installed Android System WebView), Cast (had to install Google Cast Receiver 1.16.45911) all work great. Couldn't be any happier!

Thanks again for the wonderful AOSP port.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] RainGater:
Ok, got the first issue: Youtube doesn't seem to play well. Click on a video and it opens up and nothing shows up in the screen although I can hear the audio. Had to hit the home button couple of times to take out of the black window.

Anyone with the same problem?

Also, the Contacts app doesn't seem to sync with the gmail even though the Email app works fine. So, two issues so far.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Cast is fixed! Thanks buddy!

Now I'm just waiting for the various NavBar removing apps to become Marshmallow compatible and this NP will be mint! And of course also Netflix leanback fix! ;)

Thanks again!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
I'm not near my NP this week (traveling now) or I would try this myself first. Changing or adding the value qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the build.prop should disable the nav bar. Works on some nexus devices but nor others.

How do you create a shortcut for Leanback Launcher in the Home screen like the video in the 2nd post? I am using GoogleNow launcher and I tried few shortcut apps in the Play store but none of them lists Leanback as an option. Any ideas?

it was my router it took a long time to keep the connection to stay on and not cut in and out i have one more question zulu99 can i install the elite kernel on this software i need a speed boost on my proformace to make game apps run smooth
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
If you do that you lose functionalities. Mainly some things are in the ramdisk, and few in the kernel. You can try to merge my ramdisk and your preferred kernel repacking a new boot.img. ( the procedure to repack a generic nexus boot.img is on xda )

[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] thanks for the awesome rom. Never had stock after using ur rom.

I used to use lollirock and switched to this. Been awesome so far. One problem am facing with Skype (your link in 1st post), i cant seems to get the webcam video working. same logitech webcam worked in lollirock without any issues. Tried to re-flash this version again, same persists.

no other app is installed, its fresh from flash of 1.1

Skype initiates, logs in, when i click the video calling button it crashes and goes back to skype contact screen.

Tried usbwebcamera app, it shows the feed from the webcam, but skype isnt able to pick th feed from webcam.

Any ideas? [MENTION=373710]others[/MENTION] anyone else facing this?

is strange. Make sure that you start the NP with the cam connected.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
I want be clear with everyone.

This firmware is not perfect. The cause is not related to me but there are some problems of rendering. The problem is in AOSP on the component stagefrighthw.so and subcomponents.

Mailnly the errors are inside this folder:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/intel/common/utils/+/android-6.0.0_r1/ISV/

Can someone confirm that you see a green bar if you go in full screen on chrome browser with youtube mobile videos and with the Google photo app if you watch some videos ?

This problems are not my problems, but is pure AOSP source code and is the same of stock firmware. But i don't see corrections. I hope in a correction from Intel and Google soon.

My modifications are all related to Audio and webcam. All others parts are pure AOSP.

So if someone is near Google developers, please share what i wrote here.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] gdsbalaji:
Same issue with Hangout also, will try a diff Skype version and share the result. Does it work at your end? Any others have this problem?
