Thanks for this thread, been a Linux convert for about a year myself. Had to use my old windows machine for odin until now

This all sounds interesting, i will try it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lucaoldb:
Sorry for not sharing any video, but last week end I was very busy for work and I'd got some troubles with my pc due to a bad update of the javaws platform that I must rely on (the so called PCT: telematic trial... Garbage! Each update a bug, especially for poor linux users lol).

Anyway, I have checked and tried myself my own tutorial and found a little mistake: it's not Saburo Jiro's andoid.git, but Heimdall.git

Sorry for the mistake, but I had written this little guide very fast:)

The other steps do work.

Thank you,

Wow, I can't believe I've never seen this post. Ive searched for a verified working heimdall for the note 4, on and off for a year. Ive been trying to get rid of windows for over a year. Every search I've always done always showed unsuccessful results. And i never wanted to attempt it without knowing it could work. Don't want to brick my device.

So your saying, if i compile heimdall from source that it'll work. Can you or anyone please confirm this? And does it work for complete tar?

Thank you much!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lucaoldb:
You are welcome:)

It worked one year ago and I still have a working heimdall in my pc. In the meanwhile, the version you can install via apt-get could have been updated.... I would try this route first.

Regarding the full tar, you just have to extract the single files so as I wrote in the OP.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AnnoDomini1993:
So, today 24th of September, Linux says:

remote: Repository not found.

fatal: repository 'https://github.com/SaburoJiro/Heimdall.git/' not found

Do you have the old repository or is there another way to compile the repository to flash the Note 4 with Heimdall?

So i found that you copied the old repository, can you change the old repository from SaburoJiro to https://github.com/fat-tire/Heimdall?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Deleted member 8530624:
Heimdall is a very interesting choice, specially for linux users (like me) who don't have access to a windows computer or Odin itself. I've compiled the Command line version and saved it somewhere, so I can use it in every distro I got. It works very well and doesn't need any dependecies (except for libusb which comes with almost every distro).

It's just a bit more complicated when you have to flash a stock ROM that comes with many files at once and you have to know every single partition to flash. The command for it gets big and with a lot of parameters (I am not complaining about that) which makes complicated for most of common users.

Just yesterday I have flashed a stock ROM on my Grand Prime, that was complicated to figure out which file fitted on each partition. Even though it was hard, I still managed to get my phone working again.

So, you were able to replace the voice search button by context menu access? If yes, can you explain how? Many thanks
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
No, that's not possible I think. That's what the picture says.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoNRG:
I guess I'll have to find a compatible replacement that has all the funtions (media and context buttons) that the stock remote doesn't, altough mine was for free (shield + remote bundle), it's just too limited, a simple context menu access button would make the remote much better...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
The Amazon Fire Stick remote works perfect for that. It's only $15 from Amazon.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoNRG:

I don't know if this Minix Neo A2 Lite (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lite-Wirele...438176?hash=item1eaa0476e0:g:t-sAAOSwpRRWmFjX) works on shield, but if it does, I would rather buy one instead, the only problem is that they seem to be more compatible with full android than with android tv...

I've read about Kodi Jarvis 16.0, the problem is that I need to backup (export) my kodi library to a micro sd card or an external hdd before I update / uninstall the current version of kodi... Any idea how to do this? I get an error saying that the destination of the backup is not writable.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Oh that's what you meant? Yes, all the buttons work great on the Shield, including the context menu button! I hate the Shield remote, it needs as many buttons as the Amazon Fire TV remote. Nvidia got too cheap on their remote.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoNRG:

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grippen50:
I think numeric keypad would also be useful. As I have an harmony and an universal IR receiver Flirc I simply added another device that has much more buttons to configure and made proper assignments. I was using this device in my previous media center. With the keypad I can shortcut to movies starting by a given letter, for example if I click "2" two time I go to movies startin with B. In a big library this is quite useful. I don't know why they go cheap on these remotes with only a couple of buttons.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoNRG:
I accidentally (I bought it for an MK802IV android tv stick I have on other tv) found a 5 usd remote that also works on shield, it feels kinda cheap (because it really is :P) but

all buttons work

, even the mouse and power buttons, it's powered by 2 triple A batteries, I tested it on shield with the remote's usb receiver plugged to the micro usb port in the back of the shield using an otg connector .

Here's the link if anyone's interested:

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
That's cool! Can you post a picture of how it's connected? So it won't work unless you use an OTG cable?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoNRG:
It also works connected to any of the "normal" sized usb ports, but they're being used by two 4tb external hdd's, so I connected it to the micro usb port instead, I also could've used a powered usb hub, my d-link dub-h7 works fine on shield, I guess I was just too lazy to do so :p. Remote size, when compared to the stock remote, is not very different, just a lot thicker (as expected, since the stock remote is really very thin), on top of the photo you can see the otg connector ("normal" size usb female to micro usb male) and the usb receiver that comes with the 5usd remote. I should mention that I only tried it on kodi, es explorer and shield menus, not sure how it does on other apps.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I just noticed that it's missing a PLAY/PAUSE button. Too bad, I use that a lot.

Agree, I wish the OEM remote wasn't so thin. It's ridiculous. I'd rather have a thicker remote that feels good in the hand and I don't have to charge as much because the battery is so tiny.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoNRG:
I've been searching a lot about this but, I'm yet to find a remote that's compatible with shield, is powered with batteries (that way you don't have to charge it all the time), has proper media control buttons on front, a decent keyboard on the back and can connect via bluetooth / wifi without the need of a usb receiver :mad:

MeLE F10 BT, connects via 4.0 bluetooth, is powered by 2 triple A batteries, but is missing media buttons...

[IMG="MeLE F10 BT"]http://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MeLE_F10_BT.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="MeLE F10 Deluxe"]http://androidpc.it/wp-content/uploads/620_mele-f10-deluxe-controller.jpg[/IMG]

The major problem is that, besides not finding what I want, I have no way to know if it's compatible with shield untill I actually buy and test it myself...

The Minix A2

Lite

(has no mic / voice search function) is fully compatible with kodi on shield, the only two buttons that don't work are the fast forward and rewind buttons (which we don't need anyway, just use the directional pad), the Minix A2 is also compatible but the voice search won't work so save yourself a few bucks and buy the Lite (costs about 24usd) version instead. ;)

Is there not a way to disable the "O" button? I'm looking to prevent users to "get to the menu" of a Nvidia Shield TV from Kodi using the remote. I'm looking to basically make my Shield TV a strict Kodi box.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFlye:
To all potential Mele, RII etc. RF remote buyers: I've got a Xtreamer AirMouse Pro, which is internally the same as the Mele and Rii versions.

To make a long story short, you'll need ROOT (to modify keyboard layouts) to be able to use all buttons properly. If not, the media buttons just send a F1 to F8 keycode. (using generic.kl)

Most importantly, the OK button which sends 'enter' (scancode 28), needs to be remapped to DPAD_CENTER, otherwise it won't be accepted in some Android TV UI elements. (like the on screen keyboard)

I have done extensive research on this matter and have (re)mapped all Android scancodes and Kodi IR codes to make it work like I want it to.

If the remote had a context button or a "programmable" button Id love the remote! But I had an idea that I am gonna try out. You can buy a "programmable" button for android and ios that basically is a button that goes into the 3.5mm headphone jack. It essentially is the same as pressing the middle button on a headset you get with your mobile phone. There are apps out there that basically let you choose the function of the button so you could run a tasker profile, set it to load kodi or whatever. Ive ordered one and Im gonna see if it works when plugged into the remotes headphone jack. I dont think any of the apps on the playstore that support it are Android TV compatible but I guess it wouldnt be hard to write something or sideload the apk. I shall investigate and let you guys know if it works.

Mele f10 deluxe FIXED.

I got the MELE F10 Deluxe because I've been using it for a while on other boxes.

It's great because of the programmable button for tv.

As people have mentioned above the home button won't work with this box.

The home key gives an output off 122 instead of the 102 it normally gives on other boxes.

I've been using a file i made a while ago and upload somewhere but that doesn't work with this box.

The fix goes like this (root required)

Take a copy of the Generic.kl file and put it somewhere else to mod it.

DO NOT CHANGE THE GENERIC.KL FILE.

Rename your copy to MELE RI.kl then look for the line that says 102 MOVE_HOME.

Change that line to 122 HOME

Move it into the folder where they live.

This is a bit vague i know but all the information about doing what I'm telling you is very easy to find but knowing what to name the file and what line to edit are a bit harder to work out.

Good luck

P.s any other buttons for this remote can be altered in the same way.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdrodge:
Until the new update came along......

Now it seems like nothing will let me have a home button on this remote.

I've tried the previous technique. Also the proper product file seems to be in use according to ADB so I've tried moding it and even generic.kl and out of desperation everything else.

I tried to use the game button instead (key 136) and also tried the mybox button (key 140)

Nothing happens at all.......

I love these remotes because they have IR and 2.4ghz

I don't know of any remote that is half as useful.

I've owned 5 of them so far (I've killed 2.5 and still have 2.5)(.5 = dead ir)

I need to get this controller working.

I've smashed tv boxes for less!!!

(Or bricked them and i have a pile of dead boxes to prove that)

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Software nolonger gives me a keycode for the home button on the MELE F10 DELUXE.

It's like the button is broken.... I've tested it by swapping remotes with the box upstairs (x912) and there is nothing wrong with the remote.

hey guys :)

I made a wallpaper with a Moto 360 on the background. using this on Google Now Launcher with a circular clock placed on it looks really cool. It's like a smartwatch for the time on your wallpaper. (Tested on Note 3 SM-N9005, It should work with any device with the same resolution)

Sorry that I can't put screenshots in here because I just started posting. Check it out for yourself it's easy! :)

THIS DOES NOT ONLY WORK FOR THE CLOCK WIDGET!

Every 1x1 or 2x2 resizable widgets should work! Of course to look good they need to be circular too. I got 2 examples that I like the most to use on the other pages.

-Shazam (resize to 2x2)

-Battery disc (2x2 widget)

-Of course many more!

Instructions:

Download Google Now Launcher from the Play Store

Download Google Clock From Play Store. (Pre installed on aosp based roms)

Download Zedge from Play Store

Set Google Now Launcher as your default Launcher

Search ''Moto 360'' or ''ClockWidget'' by ImVisualz on Zedge and set it as your wallpaper

Now place the clock widget into the Moto 360 on the background for all the pages on the launcher that you use

(this might be possible with other launchers that have the ''resize widget'' option

Let me know if it worked with your device info :D
