We will always need heavy processors for pc, simply because all this code has to be written and compiled somewhere, and x86/64 is just where the tools are at. Everything makes sense according to trend though. I'm sure Intel will still have a division for that since they are so far ahead of everyone else in raw workstation performance. PC gaming was never given a real chance outside of steam, and the APU train has been in full effect on consoles for years. General computing is middlewear now days, and is mostly offloading to the mobile/embedded market. It makes sense and I hate to see PC gaming dying a slow death. Games just look and play so much better with heavy hardware behind them. Mobile platforms will never ever take over the workstation market though. Everyone else just surfs the Web or plays on Facebook, there isn't a need to waste energy on a 400+ watt machine to do that. I'm ok with the current trend. Sadly the "beta test" phase is causing more useless electronics to be tossed in 6 month spurts, but that's humanity.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of where to get a new build. I was still using 2.2.12.

[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Did the new build work?
[Nexus Player Android Development] djerick3:
Idk I'm downloading it now....my problem is getting to transfer to the np itself. I get random errors and keep trying different usb cables. I can't get twrp to last long before it constantly goes back to stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

OK IT WORKED!!! Thank you so much! Now where can I find a gaaps package?
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Use a flash drive connected to a OTG cable for all your flashing needs. Flash a non stock rom, such as Pure Nexus if you don't want it replacing the recovery over and over again.
[Nexus Player Android Development] lightmastertech:
I'm still using the one from the first post.
[Nexus Player Android Development] djerick3:
It keeps failing via twrp for me
[Nexus Player Android Development] lightmastertech:
Does it give an error message or anything?

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I had installed the ROM and gapps from the first post mo the ago, and updated to the 05/07 version posted the other day. Couldn't find an updated gapps, so I just didn't install one with the update and seems to still work fine for me.

I did a dirty flash btw for the update
[Nexus Player Android Development] djerick3:
No and Kodi makes it freeze. I'm going back to stock now. I just dont have time for this anymore
[Nexus Player Android Development] treezy26:
I'm with you. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everyone's effort in keeping the NP up to date with the latest and greatest, but it's too much of a hassle. I returned to stock and gave it to the kids. Waiting on my shield TV and I'll be good.

Again, thanks to everyone involved in making this ROM for the NP. :good:
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
If you can't mod a nexus device then mods are not for you.

1. Unlock the bootloader(direct google instructions ) ,

2. Flash a custom recovery(posted in op),

3. Flash a bootloader for whatever version of Android you plan to use(free in the factory images),

4. Use recovery to flash the ROM(updates are posted monthly, subscribe to Android security alerts to know when you should expect a build).

5.Flash Gapps. The ones in the op work, and I'll start rolling out new builds at some point.

Basics still apply for userdata. Dirty flashes work on stable ROMs, don't use data from a different ROM and expect it to work.
[Nexus Player Android Development] djerick3:
I flash roms all the time. I can't help it if it's broken. Kodi makes it freeze instantly and I'm just not wasting time anymore. Stock with Kodi works just fine. I mod any android device with no issues as I own a company that strictly roots and mods androids.

[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
I highly doubt anything you say considering I'm watching raw on SPMC while I type. Update your bootloader and it fixes the blank screen on 3d GPU apps
[Nexus Player Android Development] lightmastertech:
This is exactly why I love Nexus devices. They come with a locked bootloader that keeps people who don't know what they're doing from messing up their device. However the bootloader is easily unlocked so you can modify it and customize the software however you want. Also with a great community providing updates regularly, they tend to last a long time and keep going strong.

Hell, my Verizon Note 4 was way behind stock ROMs and slow as hell, but then someone hacked the bootloader and a custom ROM made it fast as a new device again. (Lost a lot of the S Pen features, but small price to pay)
[Nexus Player Android Development] djerick3:
I'm very proud and happy for you. My bootloader is updated and I still get the blank screen. I'm not trying to argue with anyone. I was just looking to figure out why I couldn't flash the rom and after flashing it, I've decided not to use it and remain on stock while waiting for android n. Have a great night!

New version working great here. Thanks everyone for keeping it alive!! Kodi and spmc working fine too.
[Nexus Player Android Development] rawdealer:
I always download the rom directly to NP :) No problems with transferring:)
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Do you use a download manager, or do you just do it via the browser? I thought of doing that but I am so much faster just downloading on my computer and throwing it on a flash drive.

---------- Post added May 10th, 2016 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was May 9th, 2016 at 11:58 PM ----------

Yeah new version is extremely good, best ROM on the NP by far. I'm really amazed how well SPMC/Kodi is running on it.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
EDIT: Wow now XDA servers are automatically double posting our replies. LOL
[Nexus Player Android Development] rawdealer:
I usually download it on my phone and upload it to Drive. From drive I download it with ES or Drive itself on NP. :)
[Nexus Player Android Development] -lukin-:
Looking forward to flashing this. Thanks for breathing life into the Nexus Player :good:
[Nexus Player Android Development] adot111:
Thank you for your reply, dhacker29

I reinstalled the ROM, now it's much better, however, I still can not uninstall apps, it shows me " unfortunately package installer has stopped"

Tried reboot, still not working.

I just found the apps that I installed from GOOGLE PLAY STORE, I can uninstall them, the apps that I installed from Cloud server, those can not uninstalled and show me the error.

Thanks

You need to install the new gapps first then reflash the room

dhacker29 does using a 32gb usb work for twrp backups?
[Nexus Player Android Development] pumm3l:
Is anyone else having a problem with usb debugging with this rom? I can see the nexus adb interface listed in device manager but when I type adb devices nothing is listed.

My rooted stock rom (MRA58K) is detected without issue so it's not driver issue on my laptop as far as I can tell. Oddly when I enabled developer mode usb debugging was already turned on and if I turn it off and on it doesn't ask me to "trust" on the purenexus nexus player.

I'm on 12-3 purenexus rom
[Nexus Player Android Development] adot111:
Did you try to turn off the nexus player, and turn it back on after 2 mins. It works for me
[Nexus Player Android Development] pumm3l:
I have powered it off and on, I didn't wait 2 minutes though. What's the 2 minutes get me that pulling the power cord and putting it right back doesn't?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Mr-Glass:
I use it that way - mine is kinda slow because I have a non-powered USB hub coming off of my OTG cable with mouse dongle and 32gb Sandisk ... but it works.
[Nexus Player Android Development] jacoghi:
Rom is just great, thanks for sharing! When trying to download anything from the browser, it force closes. So far that's the only problem I've run into.
[Nexus Player Android Development] heroes96:
does this support fat32 or nfst?
[Nexus Player Android Development] PainToad:
Can someone please test NTFS OTG support?
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
https://github.com/PureNexus/androi...mmit/ed11e23b36806e53ffb6cd84c6d5c1a5bd569515 It is enabled, should work fine.

Looks like we would have to pull in some changes from CM to old to get that going

I have added support now, I have a micro SD (ext4), 8 GB flash drive (fat32), and 16GB flash drive (ntfs) all connected at once.

I'll start the upload before I crash out. You should see it here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44278 as pure_nexus_fugu-6.0-20151205-ntfs-exfat.zip when the upload finishes.
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Did you enable USB debugging in Developer Settings and accept the ADB key?

I have no issue with ADB, allbeit I never use Windows only Linux for everything.
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
New build dated 12-5 is up at link in OP, or here for quick reference https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087011173 Fixed up the cLock layout to look better for TV. Also set the default transition animation to .5 which does away with a lot of the lag. If you dirty flash you can manually change it in developer options to .5.

Does the play/pause key remap works in Kodi?

I am using Kodi 16 beta 2 and ContextMenu is not working.

I have a K400 wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse attached as well as an air mouse, along with my cruzer 32 GB usb drive for backups on twrp. all working smooth. thumbs up dhacker29 and thanks for a great build!!!
[Nexus Player Android Development] goose2600:
Thank you!
[Nexus Player Android Development] pumm3l:
Well developer mode wasn't enabled by default so I turned it on and usb debugging was actually enabled already oddly. I tried to turn it off and on a few times as I know how finicky it can be but it never asked to accept the adb key. Usually though once enabled it will show up in the device list when I run the adb devices command as "unauthorized" it doesn't even do that.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

Do I have to reset all my settings if I sideload 12-5 over my 12-3 version or can it be updated without loosing all my settings and apps I've installed?
[Nexus Player Android Development] goose2600:
I had troubles using adb and I solved installing PdaNet on my pc.
[Nexus Player Android Development] pumm3l:
simply just installing pdanet fixed your problem?
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Mentioning ES I might as well just use it to access my PC directly instead of even bothering with a flash drive transfer. But like I said, its just so fast to throw it on a flash drive and TWRP flashes no problem from flash drive. I bet if I tried to do it another way directly on the NP, it would take me more time... lol
[Nexus Player Android Development] lightmastertech:
I just connect my Nexus Player to my computer and sideload the ROM, skipping any intermediary device.
[Nexus Player Android Development] gr8st:
I'd like a CMTE version if possible :angel:

Does it have accessibility settings like a normal phone/tablet? I've been trying to get autovoice google now integration to work so I can program custom voice commands, but the lack of normal accessibility hooks in android tv base rom has made that difficult.

Thanks in advance

Do you have a picture of your setup? I'm curious to see how it actually look, is the nexus player taped to a PS3 hub connected together by OTG cable? Too bad the hub doesn't have a lan port, I really dislike the dangly lan/usb combo hubs they're selling. Hoping to find a more solid one.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
I can show you a pic tomorrow, but my cam really likes to highlight the dust that I cant even see with my own eyes, lol. But yeah give me a day to get to that for you.
[Nexus Player Android Development] npjohnson:
No. PureNexus doesn't do alternating threads for Layers/CMTE builds, should be in the OP or nowhere. The reason they did it this way is that as of speaking right now, there are zero Android TV themes, and I (personally) as well as DHacker, see no need for a CMTE version on a TV build.

I don't mean to be that guy, but unofficial builds for supported devices are usually frowned upon by the PN developer (Beanstown), and, he and DHacker worked closely on this build.

You need to ask Beanstown or DHacker before distributing builds. ESPECIALLY for supported devices.

Nope, that it is not. Full build should get its own thread, but pry won't happen in the foreseeable future. I am currently working on it, and will probably have a full PN (& CMTE) Build out sometime in June (when exams cool off).

My device tree and vendor are build-able, though, please don't build off them, as they are not ready. They can be found at https://github.com/PureNexus-Ports/android_device_asus_fugu.git (branch mm-tablet).

Is there a trick to fix issues with Kodi? I've cleared it's data and I have disabled my network connection. When it runs for the first time, it kicks me back to home/launcher screen.

does anyone know of a good app that lets your clear the ram easily? sometimes after i open levin tv, it makes the player a lot slower and frustrates me. i downloaded tv boot or something like that so i can at least reboot the player, but would rather just clear ram
[Nexus Player Android Development] diesel13:
Hi I could really use some' positive, maybe a little help ? First post here . . .

I just re-done my nexus player, I used the current files, md5'ed them, all is well.

rebooted in recovery twrp 3

formated, then advanced wipe, wiped everything

loaded the rom, rebooted, on completion of setting up, loaded the gapps, same, but now I get that dumb "Google Play service" has stopped working" error popping up non stop, i brought the files to the fugu with a thumb drive through an otg cable.

tried a whole mess of stuff, can't use the browser, it keeps crashing

the build could use a file manager if I may add so it would be easy to run apk's [downloaded or usb]

That aside, love the work, blows my mind, 3 thumbs up

Thanks
[Nexus Player Android Development] diesel13:
ok so this morning, I said I'll try again. re-downloaded the files, plugged in the fugu machine via USB and re-formated everything, adb push *.zip / and after i get the gapps done, it starts again with the exact same error.

so I thought that it may have been because I was through an otg usb 3.0 hub with an ethernet port and had wifi disabled. But I guess it wasn't the case. any idea which is the right google play service apk ?

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/

i thought it would be the 64 bit x86 but I was wrong :(

so. restarted using a totally different approach and still have the same exact error at the same place . . .

i.e. after gapps install, first is language (if I recall right), then it wants to connect to google store and asks either using the tablet and pin or the gmail address and password, I am using a galaxy tab2 10.1 (CM 13 and it rocks :) ) and that don't work, so I tried using my gmail and password which don't work either . . . and there is no way to go any further.

please help this dude, <-- way over my head in this :)
[Nexus Player Android Development] diesel13:
Fixed

First off, you

MUST

be using the “PureNexus Recovery”, if not, download and sideload it . . .

Yes, also

MUST

use “adb sideload”

But . . . the Minimal ADB & Fastboot tool works well and is plenty for the Nexus Player PureNexus Rom install;	http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Follow the very well detailed instructions from Post #31;

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-player/development/rom-pure-nexus-t3260232/page4

Unlock your bootloader using fastboot. (fastboot oem unlock)

Flash PureNexus recovery. (fastboot flash recovery "purenexus_fugu_recovery-112515.img")

Reboot Bootloader (fastboot reboot bootloader)

Once in bootloader short press bottom button once until you see recovery option then long press the bottom button.

Once in recovery short press until you get to ADB then long press to get to the ADB sideload screen.

Sideload Rom (adb sideload pure_nexus_fugu-6.0.1-2016-xxxx.zip) where xxxx is the date of the rom you are flashing

Sideload Gapps (adb sideload purenexus-gapps-mm-x86-leanback-20151202-signed.zip)

Short press until you get to Wipe data/factory Reset then long press (Clears data & cache)

Select reboot now

Once booted setup everything including Kodi

Then go back to recovery and sideload Kodi Mapping zip file. (adb sideload NexusPlayer-kodi-keymap-streaming-fix-signed.zip)

All should be well, my Tab2 10.1 is paired and all works well.

Thank you dhacker29 for all your hard work, well above my pay grade as I said Before. I’m not sure on how to return the favor but if you’ll accept it from a now disabled veteran, I fought to maintain our freedom and way of life, Thank you.

Thanks goes out to dhacker29, Chainfire and Shimp208 and a lot of other people unmentioned but this post can be amended to include such individuals who I have missed.
[Nexus Player Android Development] RainGater:
Awesome [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] for a wonderfully *cooked* ROM and is flawless :)

I know there are detailed instructions, but I just condensed a little bit for flash-a-holics to get it going fast ;)

1. adb reboot bootloader

2. fastboot devices

3. fastboot flash recovery purenexus_fugu_recovery-112515.img

4. fastboot reboot bootloader

5. adb sideload pure_nexus_fugu-6.0.1-20160202.zip

6. adb sideload purenexus-gapps-mm-mr1-x86-leanback-20160202-signed.zip

7. Wipe data/factory Reset

8. Reboot and enjoy awesomeness!

PS: I know you can go to settings and turn ON wireless debugging but you have to do it after every reboot. To survive reboots, setup wireless debugging by editing build.prop and add this entry:

service.adb.tcp.port 5555

Then, adding kodi keymap and other config changes are as easy as:

1. adb connect device_ip

2. adb push NexusPlayer.xml /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/

I run pure Nexus on my Nexus 6p and love it. Just got a second Nexus player and decided to root it and install pure Nexus on it. But it's giving me issues. Never had this much trouble before. I have adb setup and I can fastboot the pure Nexus recovery.img with no problems but then when i try to sideload the ROM or Gapps it tells me "error "null" device not found". I've restarted computer, gone into fastboot, tried toolkits, tried pushing them thru with fastboot and same error. Again no issue at all pushing the recovery file over. But no luck at all with ROM or Gapps zips. Drivers are installed correctly or else I wouldn't be able to push the recovery thru fastboot. I've been following the detailed instructions someone put in I think post#37 and was stickied in the op. Please help!!
