What can i do????

Best regards zulu and thanks for share your great work with all people.

I don't know and support Kodi add-ons, especially the addon with pirate content inside.

I can suggest only one thing, in Android Marshmallow, the first thing to do if an apk have a problems, go in settings and grant manually the permissions of this app. When you are sure that the app have all permissions granted, test again the app.

Wifi-direct controller

On the original post, [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] you mention that the Nvidia game controllers cannot be used wireless with the full Android ROM.

I'm currently running the StockRestyle ROM on my Shield TV, but I also have a FIre TV 4K which I mainly use for Amazon Prime Video content.

In order to limit the number of controllers and remote that lay on the sofa, I tried to pair the remote and the game controllers from the Fire TV 4K with the Shield TV.

Like the Shield TV game controllers, the Fire TV 4K remote and controllers use Wifi-direct (instead of Bluetooth for their previous versions). Thus, they cannot be paired via Bluetooth, but they pair well using the Shield Accessories tool.

Once done, the Fire TV 4K controllers work like a charm on the StockRestyle ROM:

- joystick, pad, buttons, Home, Back, Play/pause... buttons are functional

- even the Menu button, which does not exist on the Shield TV controller, is working

- voice search is working

- only the headset I cannot confirm because I haven't tried it yet (I'll come back on that tomorrow).

- after sleep, the game controller repair as soon as you move it, no need to press a button like on the shield game controller

- BUT, these controllers don't appear in the list of controllers in the Shield Accessories tool. Not a big deal, I would say, because even if you don't see them there, they are working very well.

Thus, I would said that the drivers for these controllers are maybe not open-source but they seem not to be too closed. I haven't yet tried it the other way around (using Shield controller on the FIre TV).

I haven't found and APK of the Shield Accessories tool, and it may not work on full Android.

But, is anyone aware of an app that can pair standard wifi-direct controller on Android?

All what I've found on Wifi-direct are apps for file transfer and apps for pairing two Android systems, nothing on controllers.

Thanks

Portrait

Hey [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] any chance you have the source for this rom online anywhere or even just a list of any modifications you made to get it to work. I need to force the screen to rotate 90 degrees for a portrait tv. Any idea where I would start?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] marsipulami73:
Hi zulu

Many thanks for this great work! I enjoy it very much

But i have got one question. Is it possible that the Android 6 has problems with the new 200GB sd card from scan disk?

I put it in the shield with your android firmware 6.0.

The system see the sd card and ask me if i want internal or externel storage. (He shows my up,180gb of free space on the sd card)

I choose internal. The formating of the sd card finishes without problems.

But in the next step...when the system whant to move files on the card, i got the message: not enough disk space.

Same error on the original shield Firmware.

Is there any fix?

Sorry for my bad english...hope you understand my description ;)

I reinstalled the stock ROM, wiped my data, tried Skype: no success. Skype 6.14 running can log but can only initiate an audio call (no icon to initiate a video call).

Then I reinstalled the StockRestyle ROM, wiped my data, tried Skype 6.14, same problem as before i.e.:

- If I make a audio call everything is fine,

- if I receive a video call but answer only using audio everything is fine,

- but if I make or receive a video call using the video and sound from the Shield TV side, then both videos are displayed correctly, the sound is sent correctly (so no problem with a webcam compatibility) but the sound is not received correctly. Turning off back the video doesn't solve the issue.

Could anyone else confirm that it's also working for them?

Or better would anyone have an idea where the problem could come from?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
you are in full android thread and yes skype is compatible with full android and no skype is mostly not compatible with android tv.(stock and restyle)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JulienPr:
Sorry for mixing the thread. My initial question was about this ROM, to decide if I should switch to it instead of the StockRestyle.

Then, in this post, [MENTION=2328720]darktyroll[/MENTION] answered that it was also 100% working with Skype 6.14 on StockRestyle.

Also, in the first post of the thread on StockRestyle, [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] wrote that Skype is working.

Thus, my wonder.

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
You should switch if you don't mind about android tv and nvidia wireless controller.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darktyroll:
I tryed that version of skype in stock restyle and for me was fine. That`s why i told u 100% it is working.

@zulu99, some times my notifications in status bar are black and not white (font), very hard to read from a 2-3 m distance. Any advice?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Strange, i never see this.

Can you write how can i reproduce this ? Which app you used that have black text in notification ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darktyroll:
It show me black notification from when i power on the Shield.

An example:

- in every app, notifications are fine, white font;

- in my screenshoot, i use youtube app. When i press home button and exit to main desktop, notifications are with black font;

- on black wallpapers, i cant even read the notifications.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
it not happen to me. Is something that you have installed.

i use Google Now launcher and i have updated the google apps. But i never see this black notification problem.

maybe your widget ? or something in xposed ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ataristfm:
Google Play

Google Play doesn't work. Error Google Play is not compatible with this device. Remove updates and try again. No updates installed. Cant download Google play apk from Browser as this crashes.

Doing factory reset now.

Not impressed.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
This is why the wipe command is important.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ataristfm:
All instructions followed to the letter. Issue seems to be with external usb HDD when used as external storage which worked fine on stock. As much as I want full android I am going back to stock. To many small things.

Thank you for all the hard work that's been put into it. Full android on a big TV using the same apps from stock don't look as polished, Plex and iPlayer plus not being able to use the media controller (Yes im the only one who uses it) :o . There are other issues but has nothing to do with the rom. I would like a mix of both worlds.

Thanks again.

Was Nova Launcher fault, after a fresh install of Nova, everything is fine now.

When trying to boot to TWRP it tries to download, then failed, command write failed (unknown error))

Any ideas?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
Yea it is a boot problem,the best is to enter in the recovery mode by using the power buttons instead of command lines.

We are also better than Galaxy S7 ?

Usually i not trust, for judge a firmware i need to use the device for a month. But for now i'm very satisfied.

I do not settle for having a good firmware, I want the best firmware in the world. It is understood a real Android firmware and not a subspecies.

Someone know an Android firmware better than this ? Android TV is not Android, can't be compared.

:)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
I have decided to move from Android TV to full android and sell my controllers.

Question though, I am currently rooted and running the StockRestyle. Can I just install straight from this to that or do I need to fully wipe? If so, any good way to backup as much as I can?

Also, I still can't get teamviewer quicksupport to let me connect/remote in. Has anyone else yet?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
Zulu said you can install but me I prefer go to stock in every rom changes to have better stability.

And no sorry never tryed team viewer .
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
For the Kodi / SPMC lovers:

As you know, i not use Kodi very often, because my multimedia contents are inside others apps. But, after the division Kodi, SPMC, what do you use on your Shield TV ? Kodi or SPMC ? Can someone better explain what is happening in this world ?

Envy of old developers against Android ?

Joking aside, I think that to have a good Kodi on Android, the Android version must have a separate life from the original Kodi project. So long live SPMC
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JulienPr:
After some further tries, it is indeed working OK.

The problem is that somehow the sound is not send to the same IO, and it works fine if I switch the sound button on the interface during the call (the third button on the attached screenshot).

[Shield Android TV Android Development] justkidding2009:
Hey Zulu,

to give you some clarification about SPMC and Kodi as I understand it:

Koying the former Android maintainer of Kodi has had internal trouble and thus decided to leave the Kodi Team. He now develops SPMC to meet the specific requirements for Android.

The Kodi team at the moment doesn't have an android maintainer. They are looking for someone but it is hard to find it seems.

The biggest benefit of using SPMC on a SATV at the moment is the fact that HD sound and passthrough is working perfectly.

Koying also promised to do all further developments for SPMC and with the SATV as main device in the foreseeable future.

But I hope they will find a way to solve their internal problem and Koyjing will join Kodi team again.

The good thing is everyone can try out SPMC without any hassle. SPMC and Kodi work side-by-side independent from each other.

Best regards,

justkidding
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Thanks, therefore for now i will base my tests on SPMC.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] eastbayarb:
I rooted my Shield last night, and installed Team Viewer on it. I got my PC to connect to it, and was able to text messages between the two, but I never got my PC to see or control the Shield TV. Anyone else get Team Viewer to work?

I am looking forward to development of SPMC. If it was exclusive to Android TV, perhaps it would deter all those amateur modders selling cheap Kodi modded boxes, which I believe is ruining Kodi.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] nccong:
Is it possible to change HDMI resolution to 4K@60?

Does anybody know how to change HDMI to 4k in the full marshmallow for Shield TV? The setting is normally found in Display settings but I can find it there anymore. I guess the resolution is set to 1920x1080p by default even though the unit is connect to a 4K TV.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
I really want teamviewer working, it's super annoying that it doesn't.

Hey, quick question. I get that you believe full android is vastly better than android tv, but EXACTLY you do on Full Android that you can't do on your modified stock?

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
For the boot image / kernel that have full xbox controller ( flashing light ) support, you can try it when you want. full Android is only system.img and vendor.img

All others parts can be stock, or modified for specific reasons, like in this case xbox flashing light.

Differences from StockRestyle and full Android, apart Settings, Status Bar, Navigation Bar, are many and are inside the framework.

Many apps can't work or work well without status bar and Android TV don't have some Android permissions that apps can request.

An example is "draw over others apps permissions" that is used from many apps. An example of this permissions is also the new PopOut player of Youtube Gaming app https://youtu.be/hF4IDIO8xw4

Is just an example, many others apps use this permission for others things.

The framework is different in many others parts, and apps or show in different way or not work at all.

About teamviewer, that i never used and tested, i don't understand the use of this tool. Why you need it ? What you have to do precisely with this app ?

Do you know that you can mirror the screen of Shield TV full Android to Chromecast dongle ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Thanks Zulu.

Teamviewer allows you to connect to the device from ANYWHERE. You don't have to be on a Lan. It allows you to remote in, view the screen, and completely control the device as if you were there physically in the house.

This is obviously very useful for people like myself who have setup 4-5 shields for friends/family members who aren't all that tech savvy. When they hit problems, I can remote in and fix it, instead of trying to walk them through it over the phone.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] eastbayarb:
[MENTION=4553394]Zacharybinx34[/MENTION],

Did you ever get Teamviewer working on a Shield TV? Furthest I got was being able to text message between mine and my PC.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
No, never got it to work. =(

By following these exact commands will I have any problems going from Modified Stock to Full Android? I want the cleanest install possible.

2) fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

3) fastboot -w

4) fastboot reboot

Any recommendations for youtube? It's not working, and SD isn't really an option for me.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
What did you say ? You are serious or you under the effect of drugs ? :)

No offense, Youtube like everything else works wonderful.

If you have problems, reinstall and clear cache and old data that come from android tv. fastboot -w or a factory reset after firmware installation.

If you want see the firmware in action, you can watch this playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2E8D73B9D757086B
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
O i understand, maybe you need to configure addon in Kodi for your customers.

You can use Mobizen for remote assistence, it works.

Android is the most simple OS in the world, also for this reason is perfect for tv. I really don't understand what can be difficult for an user. For fastboot stuff you need the phisical device.

But maybe you are right, anyway Mobizen is for you.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] jb_alphamale:
Youtube works perfect here. Installed from play store and works in HD very well.

Team viewer works great for me for multiple computers and android devices. Ensure you install the add-on that sneaks up on you download folder. Then run the host file it creates.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] IamSonoma:

I would always get a message on screen stating "No activity found" and the message would fade away.

For whatever reason, I download Team Viewer, but the add on doesn't show up in my download folder. I don't suppose you can upload the add on APK?

Strange app vanishings

I tried searching for an answer to this, but made no progress so here goes. I am having trouble with 2 apps vanishing after reboot. Firefox and Firefox Beta both vanish every time I reboot leaving only a grayed out icon. The strange thing is it is only happening to these 2 apps. I am using 128GB sdcard that has been adopted as internal memory. I know they both work fine or will work fine because I had them installed before without problems, but reinstalled everything from scratch last night starting with the stock 3.0 then this ROM then rooting and installing exposed and lastly installing other previous apps from play store. Any ideas preferably not starting over once again?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:

I gotta say, sorry for doubting you on Full Android, this is truly amazing.

Hi zulu I write you if you could help me, because I am not able to connect ndivia gamepad to the console.

My problem is that when I connect droidmote server to client but I dont known how i can change in droidmote server the ip to connect this with loopback and put the ip 127.0.0.1 manually in droidmote server, i dont know how i can put this ip manually in droidmote server.

Thanks and best regards
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
yes because i want in this way and is the best way.

when the device is in standby, i must know that is not turned off, therefore the light is necessary to understand the difference.

I turn off my device when i not use it for long time and the light is turned off.

In this firmware, the device go in complete standby if you not use it for the time that you set in settings or if you press the power button, but with the light i must know that is in standby and not turned off. To turn off the device i long press the power button and from the power menu i press POWER OFF. The Shield hardware button have the same behaviour, one press and long press like all power buttons of remotes, keyboard,DroidMote, phones and tablets.

the stock Nvidia implementation is illogical and confuse users.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
In Android 6, to see the Shield TV disks on your PC, you must slide down the notification bar and put the usb mode to MTP.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] keith2012:
So is this worth upgrading to from 5.1? i would just like to know before i go through the whole process?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Tested both the games and both work very well.

Alto's Adventure requests permission at first start, make sure to grant permissions.

In general in Android 6 , with phone, tablet and TV, if you see a crash, the first thing to do is go in settings -> apps -> your app -> permissions and see if the app have the permissions granted.

P.S.

Consider that when i test a game, i always use DroidMote and not others input device.

If a crazy developer of a game check for touch screen, you have also this. I don't know if is related to one of this game, i write just for info.
