So glad the Nexus Player is getting regular updates again. Thanks [MENTION=5501864]USBhost[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION].
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
;) NP man!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] mboord:
link for GAPPS is bad

This is great. gonna try out the new Android N DP 3 first then probably switch over to this. I'm sure DP3 is still very beta.

Just a heads up the link for the GAPPS is showing the text "404 not found" message when I click the link.

Any chance you can re-upload the GAPPS or is there another link you can supply.

Thanks so much for all your hard work on this. I love my NP.

-Mike
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Good luck man! Have fun.

You may want to update the changelog based on a different devices PN changelog. If you copied the one from DHackers OP, it was quite dated. For ex. we are on 6.0.1_r44 now.

Oh and a quick heads up. Nate is rebasing EVERYTHING.

If you want to try to update Fugu to the new base, sync PN in with the branch mm2 selected.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] sup3:
Good Job Guys

Cool, does this ROM have usb camera support for skype?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] easy_mac:
Thanks for doing this!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] giant22000:
Is this a tablet interface or android TV interface?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] lightmastertech:
Android TV interface (leanback launcher)
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
thanks

its fixes now

we are using marduk191 gapps

hopefully soon we will get opengapps

awesome thanks for the info!

im thinking of just updating when every one else does because im busy with school atm
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] SkOrPn:
Most excellent news and congrats, but concentrate on school for sure.

Will the Android TV launcher stay the one dhacker had built in, the one that is semi configurable? Thinking of retiring my Moms Roku and giving her my NP since the launcher is so much less cluttered.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
Idk I need to learn how the build system works because its my first time maintaining a ROM :D

but it will most likely go back to stock. ( don't ask me to mod apks )
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] npjohnson:
If you have any questions, hit me up on Telegram (same username) or Hangouts (johnsonnolen@gmail.com).

Quick note, Leanback Launcher NEEDS to remain 'PRESIGNED', and the cert needs to be Google's. Otherwise you won't be able to use any of the services that tie into Leanback Launcher. Unfortunately, with ATV, the vendor repo needs to remain almost untouched to prevent signature errors.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] marduk191:
Don't count on a reliable openGapps. It's a really weird build compared to normal Gapps. I can send you a homebrew script to pull updates if you want to build your own, or just hit me up in pm and I can add a new build to my AFH folder on release days. I'm subscribed here as well.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] xconwayx:
I just wanted to take a second and say thank you to everyone who is keeping this alive. Your efforts are appreciated to keep this community going.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] hashil1:
can i dirty install on top of the feb version of pure nexus
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] rawdealer:
I flashed it over January build and it works fine. :)
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] YaKillaCJ:
Gonna flash later today. Question tho. I've been having issues with Netflix on Feb build. Am I missing something and will this 1 fix that? Right now I just use the phone version of Netflix.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] stupidy:
What is your issue? This build works fine with Netflix.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] hashil1:
Sweet. ill get onto it
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] glitchsta:
Thanks man, been waiting for something to happen for the nexus player!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] lalord69:
would u mind shedding some light how its urs working? I am also having issues with netflix... i have tried different versions of netflix and no go, i tried wiping EVERYTHING including internal mem then reflashing everything and nothing... i get the error "we're having trouble playing this tittle right now. Please try again later or select a different tittle" on every show/movie. I know my network and account are good...

any ideas? using TWRP recov, PN 6.0.1 20160507 and purenexus-gapps-fugu-leanback-20160409-signed-marduk191
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] stupidy:
My setup is totally standard as per 1st post.

That sounds like the message that Netflix thinks you are using a vpn or proxy.

They don't like that anymore.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] andrep182:
Hey thanks for doing this man. Quick question though, can you please post the changelog for the latest build in respect to the February build? I can't seem to find it anywhere ...
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
Will do on the next update

A little busy ATM
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] andrep182:
Ah, for sure bud, take your time! Thanks =)

[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
The Nexus player uses an 32bit ROM even if our CPU is 64bit

So that will not work but if... someone where to build an 64bit ROM...
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] SkOrPn:
I think Intel would have to release 64bit Android kernel source code for that Atom though in order to build a 64bit ROM+Kernel. And I'm not sure if they ever did, but maybe.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
The kernel source is x86_64

The kernel is built as x86_64

But ROM is built as x86
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] SkOrPn:
Hmmm, very good to know. So there is a chance then. :good:
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] porschet:
Your continued support is much appreciated! Looking forward to future releases. Dirty flashed your latest release over the 2/2/2016 build and everything is working perfectly. No issues before or after. Thanks USBhost!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] marduk191:
A 64 bit ROM is time consuming and offers no advantage, plus some slight disadvantages on this device . I'd assume that's where the decision came from.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Actually, it is device firmware, more specifically, the wifi driver (drop it in IDA and you can tell). It EXPLICITLY targets x86 and discludes loading on x86_64. We could probably actually use a version of the upstream wifi driver, but, you are completely right, it makes no sense to put time/work into a 64 bit build.

Its manufacturer lazieness to be honest. Haha.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nikfam:
Thank you for the effort! I also have a question: has anyone used a custom kernel with the latest built that thinks/ proved to increase the overall performance?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] alpenglow:
Is voice search functional?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
I think so... Don't remember.

--------------------------------------------

Looks like guys there will be an update soon so stay tuned.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] stupidy:
Voice search works great for me on this ROM.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] julesism:
Hello. I asked this in the "other thread" but did not get an answer. I'm now using this build but still cannot get Kodi to work. I've cleared it's data and I have disabled my network connection. When it runs for the first time, it kicks me back to home/launcher screen. When I run it again, it sits on a greyish screen. I'm running Pure Nexus on an ADT-1 (molly) and it's fine there.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
Download and install SPMC by Koying

Google spmc

Is an optimized fork of Kodi for Android
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] julesism:
Heck yes! It installed and opened! Thank you sir!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
ok guys the new update is up enjoy!

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1cOHQ70J9vla0FxNE0wc25jZWM

i recommend you do a clean flash but theoretically it should be fine on a dirty flash.

Note: cmte is no longer being supported... so no build for it.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] porschet:
Dirty flashed and it works just fine so far. Thanks for the update!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] martinedu:
the installation did not give any error but does not allow me to run any application. I returned to perform a clean installation and still have the same problem. I had to reinstall the version 20160507
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
What do you mean by applications?

Your apps FC / don't start?

I need more info
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] martinedu:
Any application that you install from Play Store gives me FC except Google applications
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] porschet:
Did you also flash Gapps? I did not.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ered15:
Unfortunately, Backdrop has stopped. Using last build...any fix for this? Want to use daydream.

Also Weather info not showing in home, already checked option using yahoo and Custom city, any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
Idk.. I was not able to test this build because I'm been to busy(GED).

I will try to test later this week
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ered15:
Thanks [MENTION=5501864]USBhost[/MENTION] will be waiting for updates.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
Did you attempt to use OpenWeatherMap as your weather provider? AFAIK Yahoo Weather has gone through some api changes. I know my ROM on NY cell phone for a period would not fetch weather information unless a non yahoo weather provider was selected.

Also may need to goto settings/apps and give cLock permissions for location.

Did you attempt to update backdrop via play store? I know google put the .apk on the AndroidTV play store for easier updating.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ered15:
[MENTION=1857544]ElfinJNoty[/MENTION] yes I tried everything you mentioned above but still having the same problems with Weather and backdrop... I was using a stable version of PureNexus 6.0.1-201605 before this one and everything was working fine expect for mic voice for Google that's why I updated, mic is working fine in this last update but have these other issues I mentioned.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] stupidy:
I dirty flashed this new build had all the same problems, I also had apps force closing, then reverted back to the previous build and all the issues are gone.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] furius:
Hey , thanks for this build!

Can I ask which is the difference between this Rom and original pure nexus Rom from [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION]? (which seems to be hanging on February build?)

Thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
dhacker29 he seems to be on a long vacation....

i just doing builds until he comes back.

News update!

sorry guys for no updates last week

i will try to get something done this Sunday
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] SkOrPn:
Hello again my fellow xda friends.

Hey I managed to talk Mother into letting Dad have her living rooms Roku 3, but now I am forced to pull the Nexus player out of its box and set it up in the living room. The device shows it is on 20160507. Is that still the most recommended version at this time?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
yes
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] SkOrPn:
Most excellent. Thanks again man.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] phil3322:
Stable?

Can anyone tell me if this ROM is stable enough for daily use or still testing? I really want to be on the latest one for security reasons as the official Pure Nexus is from 2/2/16.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
5/7/16 is stable

But any newer have problems

Because of the rebase of PN

Also it would help if we had better Gapps support
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] phil3322:
Ok thanks for the quick reply. So for opengapps.org if i have it set for x86, 6.0 and stock settings chances are it will not work (because rom is 32-bit and cpu is 64?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
Those Gapps are for normal Android not TV

So... You know...
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] phil3322:
Ah Ok. Thanks again!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KLit75:
Netflix wasn't working on the latest so I clean flashed 5/7 but still not working. Everything else seems fine (especially happy adb over network is working out of the box.) Anyone have suggestions? Tried clearing data, cache, signing out, reloading netflix etc.

[MENTION=5501864]USBhost[/MENTION] I'm on stable 5/7/16, and on 02.11.img fugu bootloader (for 6.0.1 I believe). Everything is fine for the most part, but I experience videos pauses in kodi(spmc) almost every 5 minutes. I've read the users of the shield experiencing something similar on MM, any idea for a fix?

I've tried the kodi cache optimizations by dhacker, on wifi or otg lan adapter, but the pauses keep coming.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Bruno_Tec:
is this rom based on aosp roms right?

i mean, by flashing it i will get the same design as a phone/tablet running aosp right?

not the android tv design.

please clear this question to me. Thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] miguelfp1:
nope, this version uses the Android TV interface
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] furius:
where can I find 5/7/16 build? from first post I can only find link to your gdrive 20160622 build ...

thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] agentdr8:
While patiently waiting for the Nougat factory image for my 5x, I happened to notice Google's posted one for our fugu! [MENTION=5501864]USBhost[/MENTION] are there plans to continue PN with 7.0 on the Player?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
Off hand I don't know (I don't have as much time as I had before.)

It will probably happen if we get better Gapps support!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] easy_mac:
Hey [MENTION=5501864]USBhost[/MENTION]

Thanks for continuing this ROM development. Sadly I'm switching back to stock for now to test Nougat and the feature I will miss the most is the volume control.

I know [MENTION=1555922]dhacker[/MENTION] added this feature but thought you may have some insight into whether volume control can be added to the stock ROM or not :)

Any insight would be appreciated!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] MapTap:
I am having netflix issues with this build. Netflix version 3.2.2 build 1470. I keep getting the "We are unable to play this title right now" error. I am not using a proxy or DNS. Is there another build/version I could try? This nexus player is for my mother, so flawless Netflix is a must.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] xconwayx:
Maybe stock 6.0\7.0 would be the best bet here.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] MapTap:
Thanks went to stock 7.0 and everything works. I was afraid usb local files would not play, but they play fine on Kodi.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] rczrider:
I realize it's been over a month since you posted, but I assume you found the "old" folder in the OP's Drive and downloaded it from there.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] furius:
oh... no I didn't look at old folder ... I used February build ... thanks! I will try it when I get the time!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] renoob:
Thanks to @Perseus and @USBhost for your help in keeping this going-

Just a quick verification, the procedure is:

Flash ROM,

Flash bootloader extracted from the corresponding Google img.

Correct?

TIA

oh and BTW- Yes, the Feb build must have had problems with the Netflix Playstore app.

Netflix would work if a different version was sideloaded, but it would not show an icon in Leanback.

Drove me nuts, was on the phone with Netflix for a couple hours, then saw a post in the PN thread about it.

March update fixed it.

Flashed June build, and our Comcast TVgo app crashes. Same with Nougat.

Nougat has a crappy small icon interface anyway... not good for ATV, IMHO

I'm going to try the May 7 build and see how it goes.

edit- May 7 works fine.

Great ROM
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] failmatic:
I having a hard time getting Netflix leanback version to work on Pure Nexus. I flashed 2/02/16 with the recommended Gapps on that development page. I flashed may 01, may07 and jun22 from this development page with the recommended Gapps and Netflix 3.3.1 build 1513 keeps saying -116 connection error.

Im using Twrp 3.0.2 to flash. wipe each time. help. Im on may07 right now since 6/22 didnt have supersu flashed during rom flash.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] montajd:
Anyone know if the kernel in this ROM will work with 7.1.1? I'm considering trying to go a little more stock but still want ExFAT support
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] USBhost:
Just to let everyone know I'm no longer working on this ROM

I don't have the time anymore. But I'll probably start an AOSP ROM in the future.

Good luck everyone :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] easy_mac:
Hey thanks for the work you've done ? this device doesn't get enough attention from a lot of devs so its appreciated.

Was wondering if you had an idea about the difficulty level of adding volume control to the stock rom. Could it be a build.prop tweak or something more complex, always wished the stock ROM had it. [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] maybe you have an idea since you originally added the feature?

Edit: Also just realized you're handling the mx player all in one codec as well, good stuff!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] SkOrPn:
Stock 7.1.1 is just fine as it is anyway. Hell stock 7.1 on this NP is near flawless for us, quite surprising actually.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] gr8st:
Glad there still a few of us around. Are you able to rearrange home tiles (long press center button) on the Android TV launcher like in PureNexus with 7.1? I'd probably stay back just for that heh.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] easy_mac:
Certainly, but you'll lose volume control. That's the one feature I loved about pure nexus
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] BraianV:
Is a pure nexus rom with Android 7.1? I only see pure nexus with 6.0.1
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] gr8st:
Nope, it's stock 7.1. Pure nexus has been abandoned for time being.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] mlvn:
Does anybody have a backup of the May 7th build? OP links are down and looking for stable way to watch Netflix without crashing.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] stupidy:
If you are still looking PM me and I will give you a link
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Do you still have this build by any chance? Looking for it myself. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] micahs:
I'll hop on too, if it's still available anywhere. Thanks!

It'd be nice to have my NP running smoothly again.
