Android does not support NTFS by itself. You need a program to mount it. Stickmount for exemple.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
with es file explorer with root, you can read and write NTFS disks without problems. You can connect also to Pc via MTP.

Android in AOSP not support NTFS but Shield Tv yes.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
attention, download the last version. The last version now is 6.4.13.C-all [0] 2754070

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...tore-6-4-13-c-0-2754070-android-apk-download/
[Shield Android TV Android Development] TylerDurdenK:
Rooted this afternoon and my problem is solved. Thanks.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I had a strange problem with es file explorer pro. It always worked, but yesterdayi had a force close at start.

I not solved the problem, but i imagined that was a conflict with something.

So, i reinstalled everything and es file explorer pro is working now.

I write this to say that sometimes. especially with Marshmallow, some apps can go in conflict.

When you have a strange problem that you can't solve, reinstall.

I suspect also that Google is creating some problems on purpose because want that we change the build.prop

for example we can change foster_e in full_foster_e inside the build.prop

but i don't want change the build.prop, as you know i don't like impositions :)

Or can be also only that some apps are not ready for Marshmallow, and some of this can create problems to others.

Anyway, i reinstalled, updated the last google play from apk mirror, installed root and the last xposed and now all ok.

the beautiful command fastboot -w solved all problems :)
[Shield Android TV Android Development] shentheory:
For whatever reason, i can't seem to get Xposed framework working. It worked at first, i installed a module and used it. but then at some point after a reboot, i now get an error in the installer that it's not active. "install/update" is greyed out in the installer. I tried flashing the uninstaller and re-installing, but same issue. I used the links in post #2, sdk23. any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I reinstalled the firmware yesterday and as first thing i installed gogole play 6.4.13.C-all [0] 2754070 from apk mirror, supersu and xposed

xposed-v82-sdk23-arm64.zip XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk Gravity Box for marshmallow and App settings 1.13

All ok.

I suggest to reinstall and clear also the data partition with fastboot -w

In general, i suggest to not restore backup, because inside backups you can have also garbage.

The only thing that you can backup are the obb of games if are big in size.

When you restore the obb, google play reinstall only the missing part. (the apk that is small in size )
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
I suggest Taichi Panda: Heroes

If is not avaiable in your region, you can download it from apkpure.com

In apkpure.com, you will find all the free apps and games present in google play and the apk are original, not modified. you can check the hash.

https://youtu.be/3X3Iw9yE-Ug

P.S.

Why i suggest apkpure.com ?

Because Google are breaking the balls with all restrictions, limitations and impositions on Google Play app and services.

I think that the users must be able to try and install everything, if something not work not problem we can install others things.

Quick question - whats the best way to set up a screen saver with this on the shield? Day dream doesnt seem to work because there is no battery so it's never seen as "charging" or docked. right now it just goes to sleep after an allotted time, and my TV basically looses the input, if i register any input it comes back on.

So i'm just thinking it's be nice to be able to set a screensaver/slideshow in place of the sleep option so the TV doesnt go blank. any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] wanb1i:
First, go to development, set Stay Awake on. Then download Project M, open it, click anywhere and click the 3 dots in the top right corner, select set visual as wallpaper zthen settings, scroll to the bottom and unchecked the box by use single visual. Now you'll have a wallpaper that dances to whatever sound is be made & your device will not sleep. :D:cool:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] RebelebeR:
It's not exactly a screensaver app, but since I use SPMC (Kodi) it has a few screensavers you can install that work while SPMC is running so I generally keep SPMC running all of the time and use its screensavers.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
Yes you need to install backdrop for daydream and choose when you enable it.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...backdrop-daydream-1-3-0-android-apk-download/
[Shield Android TV Android Development] joebobfrank:
You also need to make sure system settings are set correctly. I think these are all the relevant ones:

# 10 minutes
settings put system screen_off_timeout 600000
settings put secure screensaver_enabled 1
settings put secure screensaver_activate_on_dock 1
settings put secure screensaver_activate_on_sleep 1
settings put global stay_on_while_plugged_in 0

You then need to install a daydream app like tailslol suggests, and go to your settings to select it. Personally, I like star daydream.

Hello,

I desperately need help. I was able to install this full version marshmallow but I am unable to download anything or install any apps. Everything else works fine, wifi, Bluetooth ect. Please advise.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] joebobfrank:

[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:

I wanna install this, and use Kodi as my launcher, and I am wondering what skin I should use that is best for gaming? I want to do Android TV games, regular Android games, emulators, etc, and I would like a gamer friendly skin that let's me to put games in catagories, have game synopsis, preview videos of games, and other extras.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] shentheory:
Thanks for this, and thanks a ton for assuming i would know where these settings are! lol you had too much faith in me- where am i suppose to set these in system settings? Thanks again!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
mean that you not have a correct installation.

maybe you not cleared well the data partition during the first installation. Maybe the problems is another but for sure you not have a correct installation, because when i install the first time, i can use the browser and download the google play.

tested two days ago.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
ntfs disks work by default without any config. connect the disk and you will see it in status bar, the OS ask to you if you want add this disk as internal or external disk.

select external disk and you will see it in es file explorer without problems. ( you can try also with a new formatted ntfs disk if you have poblem with your current disk )

instead to wite to ntfs disks you need root. otherwise you can't write.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] joebobfrank:
Those are commands you can enter into the shell (adb shell), which is a lot easier than finding them in the settings menu :P
[Shield Android TV Android Development] sensai2g10:
Success! I got it working! I did a factory reset and everything is running smoothe now.

All I need now is to root with Super Su. I noticed that in recovery the only option to update is adb sideboot.

Do you know of a way I can root Super Su using the sideboot or some other way without formating my system? Thank you in advance.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
no sorry,you will need twrp for marshmallow shield tv. it is on xda.

with that you can root.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] sensai2g10:
If you don't mind could you give me the link for the right one?

Hi

I own a shield android tv 500gb

I was previously on 3.0 rooted

upgraded to 3.1 OTA

and tonight I though I finally gave this rom a go

follow all instructions in the 1st post

"fastboot -w" did take quite some time but I suppose this is ok given it is the 500gb version

but then at the end of this process, after the creation of the filesystem

I got a

"sending 'userdata' (169075 kb)

FAILED (remote: data too large)

finished. Total time: 5642.721 s"

--> should I worry about this failed operation ?

anyway, at the pompt I carried on with the following instruction, "fastboot reboot"

and on rebooting, the shield restarted with nvidia logo followed with the little android droid with the blue ball revolving in front of it and it says erasing...

--> not too sure whether this is ok, anyway I shall give it some time if it is erasing the 500gb again...

any advice/experience/feedback on this please?

thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] IamSonoma:
That is a long time before you received the error. Try a different cable. Do expect it to take 1.5 to 2 hours. I have the 500 as well. I have seen a bad cable do this. And waiting is tough. Especially if you do not know what is going on. In my case my hdtv samsung is about 10 years old and the text gets cut off the screen.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Meastersquallx:
Hello zulu99

Nobody is breaking your balls, you have brought this on yourself with your continued breaching of the rules of this site, after many fair warnings. You are not following the very simple rules of XDA, rules that you agreed to when joining, and therefore, we're having these problems here.

As for needing to close all other threads that feature paid apps, nope. As has already been explained to you at least once in the past it's ok to link to a paid app as long as you're also providing a free version for the XDA community. You are not doing this. You are not providing any free version for the community, you are simply advertising and promoting a paid app in order to make money from this site. Once again:

this is not allowed.

Yes, everything does have a limit, you've been given at least three chances to stop this unacceptable behaviour and yet you continue, so yes, our patience for your rule breaking has reached its limit. If you can stay within the rules of this site there will be no further problems.

Once again, not ok. If you're posting development here on XDA it is for everyone, it is for free, nobody owes you anything. You can think it's for your customers only but this is not the case. Once again, read the rules of this site:

How can I see Vevo in HD on this ROM? I tried to find a version for android TV but so far I found only one version for all devices. I thought it will be the same situation as with Netflix but it isn't. On top on no HD it closes after 1 clip finished and the control for play/resume fw/rew doesn't work. It works though in the Nvidia stock MM.,Anybody has that apk?Thanks you.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] mythamp:
Hey Zulu99,

You might need to look into this issue of apps crashing when starting after you setup any external storage as "internal storage."

After testing multiple times between your full rom and the stock nvidia 3.0. It seems only in your full rom games/apps installed on usb/sd cards will crash when you set it up as internal storage

(all permission granted) - nvidia stock 3.0 runs games & apps on usb/sd cards (internal storage) without any issues.

Just take a look, or do a test. If you want me to test this on your stockrestyle, I can do it but as far I can recall my sd card was running fine as internal storage on that rom (stockrestyle).

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
Can we twrp/flasfire backup, ONLY DATA PARTITION, on our current full android 5.1 rom, then wipe everything for the marshmellow update, then restore 5.1 data partition on top of our marshmellow 6.0 update.

Im thinking, since were not touching anything else, like the system image when restoring, then this MIGHT be ok

What do you think, is this a safe way to restore cleanly, or do you happen to know of anything specific that might give issue
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Was wondering why I have been having all sorts of crashing etc that's exactly my issue.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] bobjoanRN:
Sir zulu99

May i ask in this full android marshmallow does ethernet connection is enabled?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
The data partition of full Android is different from stock and is specific for any firmware, but you can wipe also with twrp and all others way that you know. Important is wipe if you change firmware. the answer is no.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Yes is enabled and work.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
When you reinstall a firmware, make sure that you completly format the sdcard in window deleting all the old partitions. When you use one time the card or disk as internal storage and you not format at low level when you want use on another firmware / device, you can have strange behaviour. This in all marshmallow firmwares.

Let me know the name of apps / games that crash in this full Android firmware, the apps that i tested are working.

But this is a new functionality and i want test everything well.

Usually, in marshmallow this functionality is very buggy and useless for many pratical reasons, but if is not an app problem i want see.

P.S.

I used a very bad sd card as internal storage, i installed Beach Buggy Racing, Sky Force and some apps. All work well. When you restart the device, if you have a slow sdcard like my, you must wait to have all working well. I had a strange behaviour on BB racing at first start after reboot but after small time it worked very well.

Let me know your apps, and if you used the card on another device as internal, i suggest to format at low level in windows with diskpart tool. After setup in android this card as internal.

hi,

is wired network manual configuration possible?

thanks

[Shield Android TV Android Development] NiHaoMike:
Bluetooth isn't as good audio quality wise. USB is good except for those who are specifically looking for an untethered solution. And some users don't care about wireless network performance as they just plug the unit into Ethernet. Would it be possible to make the controller support an optional add on? Or maybe someone could explain exactly how it works so I can add it myself.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
on the router, you can set a static ip if you need it otherwise dhcp work very well.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] haxorr:
This Version Can not Test it. I have a 4k TV Not 1080p TV.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
usb audio work and is better than bluetooth if you connect a good external usb audio device. the bluetooth for sure is better than the bad audio on the controller.

Therefore, usb audio is good, this not mean that also usb audio on controller is good.

The wifi functionality expecially 802.11 AC 5Ghz is wonderful and without any lag and i prefer wireless, so i can connect the device where i want and not forced in a point of house where i have ethernet plug. Sometime i connect the shield on others tv in my house where i not have the ethernet plug.

Apart this, in general, a controller must be a regular accessory that you can connect in every device. can't be part of the framework.

When you modify android so hard, you don't have a regular android firmware that follow google guidelines and this can cause problems to apps in google play.

App developers are obliged to follow Google guidelines to have apps in google play, also a manufacturer must be obliged to follow Google guidelines when create an Android firmware that is Google certified, otherwise the firmware can create problems to apps. The stock Nvidia firmware have inside many bloatware in the framework and can't be a certified device, it have all the part related to input devices not standard. the cause is the controller implementation.

I created also the StockRestyle firmware for users like you. So you can install StockRestyle if you need the Nvidia propietary controller.

On full Android we can use all standard controllers and have all the real Android functionalities.
