It is pure nexus, plex is one of the few apps available on play for it. So no need to sideload anything, just go to plex and install.

And (sorry for language) well ****, that would have made it so much easier to just download apps on s6, backup, then toss to np and install. Instead of using pen drives.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
I don't even back them up. Just grab it from user data and if it works then yay lol. Search xda for rotate screen orientation and just keep that as a regular tool. It forces apps to landscape if they won't cooperate.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
Already done. I have apex launcher and some other normal apps. Now stuck on xbox one controller install, about to just get a ps controller and call it a day
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
No advice there, I use the overpriced Asus controller that they sell for it. It was free lol
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
I want a free one lol. I almost got the firetv gamepad on cl but it sold fast. There are just lots of cool games, plus all the emulators
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Not many games that work on the np really. Emulators work fine since they are controller based. It does plenty for 50 bucks though. The shield has a lot of native games that work well, but I already have the tablet so yeh.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
I wish i paid 50, i couldnt find any cheaper than 80 on sale after christmas. I almost just got a cracked screen tab s to use with a hdmi dock for 60, but wanted to play with the NP
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Still worth it. We cast on twitch while casting to an np on a deck screen from the tablet on game night. Saves external bandwidth and everyone has Android games/tv if they get bored. Saves me headache.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
Yeah I'm sure I'll get it down. Casting has been a drag since I currently don't have dedicated Internet. Just my tethered unlimited lte... So casting while offline is like impossible. Casting and screen mirroring online works fine.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Jhdoubleoseven:
Will this ROM support xposed? And can I get the regular Play Store? And what about a status bar? I'm considering switching from Full AOSP to this, but a status bar is important to me (I want to get notifications from my Android apps, like gmail and hangouts) and CM didn't have it.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
No to all of that. Exposed may work with the right modules, haven't tried, the hooks will be totally different though. This is a ATV ROM. You can experiment with open Gapps and a third party launcher I guess. That would require a mouse for the regular app store/launcher. With everything you want I would say you are already on the right rom
[Nexus Player Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
ES File Manager(I own the pro version for add free) also has a browser feature built in. You can use that do goto apkmirror for example, or any site for that matter, to download .apk's directly onto the nexus player, regardless of what ROM you are using(es is available from all stores). Also has a built in app installer, so its as simple as clicking the file and selecting install. For more complicated app installs, it has root control, just make sure to open root setting and select everything as r/w first. Then you can copy whatever you might need into the root directories.

Hey [MENTION=1047416]dacker29[/MENTION] I have some ideas for this rom, though I'm not sure if they're possible.

1. Could multiple Google accounts be baked back in? I hate that you can only have one account, my music subscription is on a different account from my games and bs stuff. I have a feeling this is proprietary in gapps though :/

2. Would it be possible to get the np remote working with volume control? I'm thinking holding the play button or something could have a volume slider come up then just adjust the volume with the directionals.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
Volume? That would negate your surround/tv sound. There is a reason there is no volume adjustment on these devices, it's a well hated feature that blows speakers and ear drums lol
[Nexus Player Android Development] Tattoo_Paul:
Netflix BROKEN! :(

The streaming fix makes HBOnow work like a dream, but it completely breaks Netflix. Will give errors and progress on my attempts to fix. Beautiful ROM btw. Thanks!!!

I managed to use livewallpapers.

You have to install live wallpapers picker app

And you must move nova launcher on system folder

Truble with adb over usb.

Hi, just flashed pure-nexus.

I can not use adb over usb. ADB over net is ok. Fastboot ok, Cable and drivers are the same I used for adb backup before flashing. Usb debugging is on.

Do not know what to try next. Annyone ?
[Nexus Player Android Development] easy_mac:
Eh I love being able to control my volume on the nexus player. If you don't like it, don't use it but Google should not have removed the option. The nvidia shield has volume control and I don't think it's hated at all.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
Why would it? That makes 0 sense to have a secondary device control volume when a primary device also controls volume. It's like a volume knob to control the volume of the volume knob. So you can volume while you volume. Lol. I'm not talking smack, it's a logical concern. Your TV controls volume, your surround sound controls volume.

If the Sheild has volume options, that's an odd function.
[Nexus Player Android Development] easy_mac:
Simple, convenience. If I'm casting I can easily change volume from my phone for example without having to find where the damn remotes went.

[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION]

I tried CM13 today and noticed CM13 also has the exact same Overscan app that Pure Nexus ROM does. May I ask you, is this just an app that I can pull from CM13 and install into my system folder on AOSP? Is that all that is needed to get the Overscan function working? The reason I ask is that all the apps I have tried just dont work properly, except for that one from CM13 and your ROM.

If possible I would like to have that app in my arsenal of apps. Is that possible as a stand alone app by chance? Just curious...
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
The app is pulled from stock without a settings link you'd need to create a shortcut with anycut or something
[Nexus Player Android Development] Asitaka:
is it possible to edit the overscan manually? I need to pull in the sides by the width of a single letter to fit my stupid old TV
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
There is an app that lets manually edit it called ui tuner. But the setting is a 4 digit number like so, (0,0,0,0). The second and fourth number are the sides I think. Each change of the number is a very small adjustment. You could use that app to at least find your proper setting and then figure out how to do it via manually somewhere in the OS.
[Nexus Player Android Development] BenjiHansell:
The Shield TV has volume options because it has the ability to transmit audio to the headphone jack on the remote or game pad. It would also come in handy if you had two devices connected to the same sound system (or TV speakers) and you wanted to adjust the Android TV device to have roughly the same output volume as say your BluRay player's default volume. Otherwise you would have to adjust the sound system's volume every time you change from one device to another.

I do agree that it's a pain in the ass to juggle multiple volume options on multiple devices. However in my opinion the inconvenience of too many options is usually better that the potential roadblock of not having enough options (something which the designers of Android TV seem to generally disagree with).
[Nexus Player Android Development] easy_mac:
Agreed, that's another good example of why it's useful. Not to mention how little having the option gets in the way of anything else.

Another reason is that, with my tv at least, the volume volume controls can be too drastic leaving you with the desired volume between two volume points. Being able to control the volume on the Nexus player can allow for finer adjustments.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
If you still want to manually edit your Overscan, you can install a Terminal app and then do the following

Type "su" and enter. Then grant root when the SuperSU app pops up.

Then just type "wm overscan". That will show you some info on what you can do.

Then just use this command "wm overscan 0,0,0,0" and changing each number will change the scan accordingly (0,0,0,0 = LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM). I had to use "wm overscan 56,32,55,33" in order to get my 2007 Sony Bravia to fit perfectly. Some apps will not adhere to the changes though and I'm not sure why. Example is Youtube, the UI seems to be OK, but when the video launches it appears the overscan is still default. I tried App Settings module for xposed, and it doesn't do anything for the actual Youtube video. Might try Gravitybox, what ever that is to see if it helps. I spoke with Sony and they said hundreds of millions of TVs did not have a 1:1 setting, and the same goes for Panasonic, RCA, Samsung and many others, they just did not start adding the feature until they started recognizing people were using TVs as monitors. So it gets tiring to hear people tell you to use the built in functions when hundreds of millions of TVs, if not billions do not have it. I have a $2500 55" 120hz TV built in 2007 and it does NOT have a setting for 1:1, dot2dot, just scan etc.

I found some info on wm overscan if your interested, link below. It works system wide for the most part, but is sorta tedious. Some apps seem to ignore it though :confused:

[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
How about if your tv doesnt support HDMI-CEC you need to use two remotes. Tv remote for volume and the NP remote for everything else. It drives me up the walls

The NP should have a huge warning label on the packaging saying: "You might have to sit and use two remotes constantly"

It should be a freaken legal requirement for this type of stupidity.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Not to mention if you have a really nice aftermarket Android remote such as the Air Mouse C120, MINIX NEO A2, or the killer MelE F10 Deluxe, all of these aftermarket remotes have volume buttons for a reason. As do the hundreds of Android TV boxes on the market. My TV remote is thrown into the dresser and I only use one remote for volume on the Android remote itself.

I logged out of Netflix and went back to the Lean Launcher and my language changed from English to an Asian language. I switched it back to English but why would that happen? Is it a form of malware/virus or is it a glitch in the OS?

I am using the latest PureNexus Rom (1-5-2016)

Hey, any chance of getting Amazon prime to work with this rom? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3278778)

It was working while I had pac rom lollipop installed. Could it be because real pacs rom was based off full android rather than an android tv build? Any insight would be appreciated!
[Nexus Player Android Development] Asitaka:
I have android prime installed and the videos, but when I choose a video it crashes, haven't read the log yet to see if it has any good info there for me. .. if anyone else has it fully working that would be awesome if you shared how.

Kind of off subject from me here, but I had never used the Rii 8+ the girl purchased for me for another project until I saw the volume update listed here and everyone talking about remotes - I highly suggest it now - really nice to have backlit keyboard and mouse in a small package -

And what about overscan on apps ?

Are they all ok ?

I can fix some of them, but not all apps looks good

Inviato dal mio Find7 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
They aren't going to all look good. It's just the way Android handles overscan. Chromecast does the same thing. Native apps need individual adjustments. Even the launcher adjustment is flawed because it makes full screen casting(mirroring) show up as letterboxed in the amount that you adjusted.

Yes. You can use es file explorer to sideloading from your phone. You can also use the net or an alternative app store like Aptoide as well.
[Nexus Player Android Development] sidepart:
Is there a way to remove or reorder the apps under the PureNexus Apps line on the leanback UI? My Kodi icon is stuck down there and I'd rather have it up with the other apps. Actually, I'd just assume remove the PureNexus Apps area altogether.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
Does everyone have the volume either at full or mute when pressing volume up & down? Still have this problem. Hoping the next build will fix it.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
You can't really modify the leanback launcher without changing the code a little. Purenexussettings.apk is where all the extras are I think. Not by a pc at the moment.
[Nexus Player Android Development] goose2600:
I have the same issue using a Logitech wireless keyboard.

Moreover, when I restart Kodi or Netflix the volume slider looks like the volume is setted to maximum level but, actually, is lower and I have to play with volume down and up to set it to maximum.

Is there a way to disable the volume control feature?
[Nexus Player Android Development] wizeup881:
I had no volume control. It had a slider that moved to no effect. I was getting this using the right joystick on a xbox controller. I just installed the new kodi (jarvis) release cantidate 1 and now the volume works great
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
They are talking about the Android controls. Kodi armv7 has multiple issues, some of wich aren't even resolved using a proper x86 build. Jarvis is supposed to address some of those
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
This is exactly the behaviour on mine. Can't just be us either because i wiped and formatted everything including, system, data, and even storage then reflashed the last build with the same result.

Anybody using a Mele F10 Pro with this build? This is the model with sound, so as soon as the dongle is plugged in, you loose all audio from the Nexus Player (it re-routes it to the audio jack on the remote). I had thought I'd be able to use SoundAbout to switch the audio port, but it crashes on load with this build (could be a Marshmallow problem though). I was wanting to use the pro version so that I could still use the voice search, and use the headphones when I wanted to watch something without disturbing the rest of the house. I tried several versions of SoundAbout (several in the 5.8.x.x, they'd load and run, but get jve errors and not actually swap the sound ports), and none of the 6.x versions will load at all, they either fault out, or hang on the title screen. Anybody know of a working version for this rom, or an alternative that will let me force the USB audio device to not be default??

Other than the audio issue, the remote works great, so hopefully I can figure this out.

[Nexus Player Android Development] nickhaven:
I have been thinking it get fixed when I use YouTube or YouTube casting but I'm not sure if casting is the trick or just YouTube.
[Nexus Player Android Development] prophetjinn:
i dont cast very often and i've successfully had it fix without it. but it might be youtube. or it could be a service with a delayed start? I leave my NP on 24/7 so it's not really an issue but when i reboot, it's annoying waiting for it to "fix" itself lol. I'll update if i can pinpoint the culprit.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
The truth is, the entire Android tv base is just buggy lol. The volume looks to be implemented correctly in the repo.

On a side note, does anyone use kodi for local media around here. I have severe instability issues when I scan my local library and was wondering if it's an x86 bug, or maybe I just corrupted my watched database or something.

Edit: nevermind, cleared cache and it fixed its self, gave me a reason to switch to Jarvis... And it is awesome lol

volume

Is there any way to boost the volume on this rom? Seems to me that the volume is 50% lower then on the stock rom. I usually had my Tv at 10-12 for good volume and every step was a nice increase, but with this rom I have it around 35 and still cant hear much. Tried to install volume booster from the play store but did not help.

Any ideas?
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Volume and particularly voices from content and the volume slider not working correctly are the reasons why some of us can't use this ROM. Try the full Android ROM if you need proper volume/sounds as it has perfect sound output and you can install a TV launcher still. On this ROM I can't hear anything unless I turn it up to 50 or so then ambient sounds are far far too loud and make everybody in the house angry, lol. So I can only use this ROM if I learn to read lips. I'm not very good at reading lips sadly.

I did that, same problem. Digging deep into the thread I found mention of bootloader being out of date. Sure enough my bootloader was. So I updated and all was well. Why an older bootloader causes Kodi to crash is beyond me.
