[Shield Android TV Android Development] Xstar410:
nah, Im saying I been using it for everything & its great, but I would like to see my non-native tv apps on the leanback lists for games...I hate to modify them manually since it is a bit annoying
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Why don't you guys just use Kodi as your launcher?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] xNixon:
I've looked into the same issue, mainly because of the norwegian TV app GetTV that is ment for customers to watch TV on any device in and out of the house and with NSTV i would have 1080p native from the IPstream instead of the 1080i the cableboxes they deliver can handle.

To make apps work that way, they need a layout compateble with DPad navigation, so changing the manifest wouldn't help much i think, and if you create an app to launch with an overlay for the app you would need to run an emulated new version of android and in that instance launch the app and have cursor/leanback support for non-native apps, that would drain the power and create even more issues, best way to do this would be for Nvidia to add a cursor mapping profile for the gamepad controller og tv remote (ex. "trippleclick search to start 'mousemode'." and then use the directional keys to move the cursor around)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Beefheart:
Speaking personally, because that would make this flagship device very limited in terms of what you can do outside of Kodi. Who would buy a device as powerful as the Shield TV then use it simply for watching video in Kodi?

Leanback is terrible. I use Smart Launcher Pro myself, lots of options, support for remotes and automatic categorisation of applications and games.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
You can create links to android apps within Kodi.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Beefheart:
Yes, I'm aware of that. But the whole process is limited and the interface less than ideal for a device of this type, or at least if used to its potential. If we were talking about a system of limited specification that was used for little else other than video playback and a few additional apps (for example, an Amazon Fire Stick) then it would perhaps make sense. But I have 60+ applications and games installed on my Shield TV. And the idea of having to access them from within Kodi, an application which was not designed with this in mind, is unappealing to say the least.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digitalhigh:
This is funny. I enjoy how the discussion is on modifying Leanback Launcher, but all the suggestions are "Don't use Leanback Launcher".

I for one actually like Leanback and the way it works on my TV with a remote. Like it was designed for it.

In terms of the discussion at hand - this isn't that hard to implement. You don't have to hook *every* package - you just need to hook the bit of Leanback Launcher that enumerates the packages and then modify that code to always return "yes" when asking if it has the Manifest permissions for Leanback.

As I find this quite intriguing and know a bit about Xposed - I think I'll take a look at this today if time allows. I happen to have both the nexus player and shield TV system images lying around (access to both versions of Leanback), so I may just be making this.

I'll post back here if anything comes of it. :D

Also, I wonder if I can force the "Live Channels" app to display at the top of Leanback's home interface, like it does on my parents' Samsung w. Android TV. ;)

While we're modifying leanback...Should we put the "non-leanback" apps in their own row, or in the same row as all the other apps?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Drakknar:
Its own row would be great actually.. Otherwise I feel that things could become a little bit too messy. Or you could simply let the user select that via the module's option[emoji14]
[Shield Android TV Android Development] guap:
can't wait for this :) I hate HAL, costomizing the stock launcher is the way, best of both worlds: original features AND customizations:good:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digitalhigh:
A little update:

I did some initial research into this, and found the method we need to hook in order to make this happen.

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/development/hooking-protected-list-inner-class-odd-t3306186

I haven't had more time to dive into this further, but I do have the initial framework started for a module. No idea when I will be able to tackle it more, but at least we have an idea of what needs to be done for anybody else who may be interested in this and know Xposed.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] duanim:
i do like the stock launcher,but needs more cosmetic,but i did found that the apk call OmniSwicth is wonderfull,the only thing is not fully working if somebody make work that would be remarkable,i do like the interface and using my fire tablet 7 inches with a combination the droidmote apk is the best so far for my shield tv if someone try this would know what i am talking, i am not a developer but i will be happy is somebody from XDA make this app OmniSwicth works
[Shield Android TV Android Development] lickarock:
Anyone remember GEL Xposed before it became GNL? Thats what we need for this. I actually like the way leanback works, I just want it to load all of my apps.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] brando56894:
Yea that's the thing that kills me about AndroidTV, its so crippled in terms of apps. I love the interface but the lack of apps sucks, it would be amazing if someone could figure out a hack that would allow the play store to show all apps.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] daniel644:
ME TO, if it weren't for the crap play store and the lacking all the installed apps.

I installed this ROM http://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/development/rom-t3321787 last night and I already miss the Leanback Launcher and how it "just worked" with the remote, the stock interface (and Nova for that matter) just don't navigate well with the remote.

honestly my dream setup would be the factory OS with the Leanback Launcher, but rooted with the FULL play Store and all the installed apps shown in the Launcher.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] pspbyer:
I installed the leanback launcher and it works well on restyle
[Shield Android TV Android Development] s--c:
How did you manage this. I tried and it would not let me install leanback launcher
[Shield Android TV Android Development] pspbyer:
I found the link on Android police for Leanback launcher I just Googled Leanback launcher Android Police and it installed then I use Xposed Framework app settings module to change the size
[Shield Android TV Android Development] daniel644:
I did install it, but when I launched it it just gave a single row of apps, not all the categories it had before, so I just went with HAL, it's good enough for what need to do.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ElwOOd_CbGp:
Ive been using OmniSwitch for a while too. it needs to be installed in priv-app for it to have recent tasks permission for full functionality. Here (gdrive) are some recent versions I've pulled from the ROM I use. A new feature called launcher mode (g+) has been added recently to the one in the 10.4 folder. Also shortcut has been added so you can assign any method to launch a shortcut to pull it out. I haven't had a chance try it out on the shield yet. Its new.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] duanim:
Nice I will check later today thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] MartiniGM:
Thank the heavens Get introduced get.no/tv. Now we don't have to use that crapy android app anymore and instead watch everything using Chrome.

Problems with 3th party launchers is often support for the basics.

Most have no Power control option ( Sleep/Restart/Power off ) or the handy functions like Long press Back-button for power menu.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] b6836ksf:
I just want to share with you what is in box and hows the result when taking picture using this Zenflash .

i don't have any basic of photography so its really taken by 100% amatir . sorry for my bad English hope picture can explain everything.

First what was inside the box

there is blue rubber for covering Zenflash if not using , user guide , warranty card and one spare of sticker ( which will use for stick Zenflash to device )

on top the is back up of sticker , if sticker which is stick on ZenFlash doesnt tight enough anymore, so you can replace it.

at the back you can see there is sticker to stick the ZenFlash to the device

Cable was put around on zenFlash so no need to worry about the cable when not using

For easy measure lenght of the cable , i put the cable beside my Zenfone 4 , so i assume you can imagine how long that cable

and here's looks like when attach on my Zenfone Selfie

before use need to install Zenflash App on your device , you can get on App store

and will shown like this on your camera

now lets check the result

Night mode

Flash light

Use Zen Flash

another picture with far object

thank you
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] mr_gourav2000:
Good
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] mibses:
I'm curious if this works with a long micro-USB extension cable. Getting a flash off-camera for more control over light direction is a great way to improve the quality of a flash photo. Even a meter or so off-axis can really help.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Aerandir14:
Too bad it's not available in europe for now ... :(

Is it a "washable" sticker or is it a sticker with glue ?
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] b6836ksf:
it with glue but didnt make any left mark on your phone when you remove the zenflash
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Chan18984:

How I wish this is available in the Philippines.. The ASUS Store here dont have much items to shop online. I havent visited some Kiosks though but still its best if these kind of items can be purchased online since they have an online store to begin with...

Still hopeful though..

If you flash your device using the RUU method and then your OS still hasnt changed it means your device is not CID unlocked. This is written in the wiki and in the wizard forums many times.

From your IPL/SPL it would appear that you have a G3. Read this thread to learn how to CID unlock your G3. Make sure you read everything THOROUGHLY before starting.

And use more appropriate thread titles. 'Help' is not a suitable title.

It's hard to gauge how popular it will be, but most of the people will probably see the Note 3 as a better deal. I personally don't care for the fingerprint, bigger screen or better camera, I'll take the increased battery life and better ergonomics (even though my hands are large enough).

After a few days of usage I can write my personal review:

PROs

- Battery is great, 2 days of intensive usage and I've still 10%

- CPU is fast, no lagging

- Audio is good

- GPS is good

CONs

- MIUI Rom with chinese bloatware is awful

- Display auto brightness doesn't work well

To Be Improved

- 2GB of RAM is enough right now, maybe in future could be a bottleneck

- Notification Led is placed in the bottom
