First, install Opera browser (there's TV version from Opera, use this one if you use the remote, else use the regular version, better with the controller. Please note that the controller's right stick will work as a mouse)

TV Version:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-player/themes-apps/opera-tv-browser-2-0-t3543518

Regular version:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/opera-software-asa/opera/opera-42-8-2246-118317-release/

if you got opera, you can sideload any app from there.

After you've sideloaded your apps, install TV App Repo (

[MENTION=5173535]Acid0057[/MENTION]):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=news.androidtv.tvapprepo.playstore

There you'll find all your sideloaded apps, and from there, you can create shortcuts for them in your main screen.

And I second your statement, no need for full Android OS.

To answer a previous question from you, I've installed the following emulators:

Play! (Too slow, still in early stage I guess)

Dolphin (Some games works pretty well, you just need to play with the settings)

PPSSPP (Works very well in HD)

FPSE (I've switched to OpenGL from settings and set the resolution to HD and it works greatly)

GPA.emu (work very well)

Those are the ones I tried, Arc Browser app is good to combine all emulator games in one place.

Also, some Android games although they're listed as not supporting Android TV, they indeed are. For example, LIMPO.

Also if you want to stream games from your PC and you don't meet Nvidia's GameStream requirements, you can try Remotr:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotrapp.remotr

Simple app, setup is the easiest, and the controller will work out of the box, actually all you need to do is to install the app on the shield and the server app on your pc.

Those are some of the tips to maximize your experience.
[Shield Android TV General] Acid0057:
Thanks for those tips. And on the plus side when you stay stock, update will be a lot easier!

Thanks!

I disagree with [MENTION=7509087]techjunky90[/MENTION], as I found the stock leanback launcher very lacking. The recommendations bar got really annoying, and even when I disabled it, it wouldn't go away. Also, only two rows of app icons and having to scroll to the right to find stuff wasn't the most ideal setup. I prefer the simplicity and customization capabilities of TV Launcher to be perfect for my needs. So I uninstalled the leanback launcher, and use use TV Launcher, and I couldn't be happier in regards to that.

I'm on unrooted stock Android TV 5.2, btw.
[Shield Android TV General] Acid0057:
Good point but the original recommendation stands. There is no reason to install a custom recovery and full Android os. The stock unrooted shield os works fine in most use cases.

If you are a gamer and love it to play mobile games on TV, the most Games wouldn't run, because NVidia has not implemented the from Shield Tablet well-known gamepad mapper. If this little Tool would be available for Shield TV, you really don't need a full Android.

Are the mobile games you are referring to games like family feud live?

I have the nvidia shield tv and I would really like to be able to play these games on there but do not know how. I search for them but they don't come up. Only can get them on my galaxy phone. Is it possible to get these on the tv? If so, How? Thanks in advance.
[Shield Android TV General] suburbadroid:
search for your wanted games in google, type the game then apk. do this on a pc or phone. download them. plug a usb drive into your computer or phone via otg and then plug the usb with apk onto the shield then browse for them via es file explorer. enjoy

I have an old HP 22 android monitor in my kitchen and love the "ok google" capability, the apps (250+ card game and Spectrum cable app) that don't work on stock shield. I am worried about it OS at 4.4.4 and want to update but Android TV seems to lack a lot of functionality I would want that full android would have. I have a shield and would like to use it but not sure the touch would work anymore if I usb the monitor back into the shield (I can use mouse and keyboard as alternative). This is why I would want full android.

I don't use windows so.... I've read that the driver security can interfere. You'd have to boot to windows recovery and disabled driver security under advance settings. Then reinstall your usb drivers.

You're stock, but if using TWRP instead of stock recovery, make sure it's current.

Hello guys, my phone one plus 5 has stopped working when I wanted to change to a ROM called (Resurrection Remix) which does not give any problem according to the users of the forum. I have another version of (Resurrection Remix) in my ONE PLUS TWO and without any problem. The topic is the following I have done all the steps as they are indicated but at the time of restarting the phone when the installation is finished, a load loop has started and never ends. I've been searching the internet all day to unbricke the phone but it's impossible, I try to install different ROMs and I still get nothing.

Sorry for my bad English, my language is Spanish

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ArkAngel06:
I had this same problem, and can almost promise this will unbrick it. Unfortunately this will put your phone back to how you had it when you first unboxed it, but it will work again.

1. Download the official OOS 4.5.5 zip

2. Wipe cache/dalvik/system/data in TWRP and flash the stock zip.

3. Within TWRP, flash the stock OP recovery image. You do this the same way as a zip, but click images in the bottom right while browsing for the file. Choose recovery as the partition of course.

4. Go to TWRP power options and boot to Bootloader/fastboot

5. Hook up to your PC and run the command to lock your bootloader "fastboot oem lock" (this will wipe your device and encrypt it again. I believe at this point the stock recovery will come up, do another factory reset to be safe.

6. Start your phone, at this point it should load up like new and all you have to do is unlock bootloader again and flash TWRP through fastboot so you can root again.

I don't have an answer for why ResurrectionRemix bricked your phone, but it did for me too. I followed the decrypt instructions to the T, but the same thing happened and I spent an entire Saturday trying to get my phone running again. I would guess that ResurrectionRemix is not to blame, and any other Lineage based ROM would end in the same result.

Good luck.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wouter Vork:
Hello guys, first post here.

So I have this problem with my Z1c: When my headphones are connected, the notification volume goes all the way up and when I am listening to music, the volume of it randomly goes up and down (without me pressing any buttons). Also, the power button stops working, I can't turn the screen off.

I think my phone is recognizing my headphones as a headset (Smart Connect says so) and it thinks I am pressing some non-existent buttons.

I have tried disabling Smart Connect and even factory resetting my Z1c. Neither has solved the problem. Is the headphone jack busted?

By the way, the problem exists with both my in-ears and over-ear headphones.

I haven't found anything online about this particular problem.

Thanks,
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] levone1:
Haven't ever used smart connect myself, but there's obviously bugs with it, (quick search turns up pages of complaints on Sony forums). Seems like one of those things they just didn't get right, in general. Since it's persistent after hard reset, my guess is hardware, but just to be clear - when you did a factory reset, it still did the same thing right off the bat, without you adding or tweaking anything, right? Also did you just factory reset, or did you reflash the rom? If it's a problem with the system flash, a reset won't change it.

I would try to reflash system, and see if the same. Also, are you rooted? You can try removing smart connect app, etc. (make a backup)...

Also, have you seen this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...key&pcampaignid=APPU_1_kgNwWerXJYbf-QHv8Jy4Aw
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wouter Vork:
Thanks for your reply levone,

Smart Connect was working flawlessly for me since i got the phone which was a couple of years ago, but unfortunately these last few days I have run into this problem. My phone isn't rooted, so I can't remove it. (it's a system app)

I just did a factory reset, not a reflash, and it did the same thing right off the bat. I don't know how to reflash, so I'll have to research that if the problem persists.

I will try the Smartkey app, thanks for that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Wouter Vork:
Alright, I tried Smartkey, the problem is still there. Next I tried reflashing the ROM, the problem is still there :mad:.

Next I tried disabling Smart Connect and installing Smartkey on the reflashed phone, just to see if it did anything, it didn't.

So, this must be a hardware problem, right? Headphone jack busted in some way?

Appreciate your thoughts,
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] pseudom:
Hello,

i had also issues with the headphone jack. In mine were fluffs (lint, dust - not my native language, so sorry for using bad words).

after removing there weren´t any issues.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Jonfensu:
I had the same problem. Replacing the headphone connector was the solution, in my case of course. But you could first try to clean connector. If problem persist you have to change definitely the connector.

Hello, so I downloaded my phones stock firmware (G9006v) and it had a lot of chinese bloatware and after some time it started saying "unfortunately google play services has stopped working" and after some time nothing from google works, even google play doesn't open up. I rooted my phone using CF auto root and then I wanted to install TWRP to install custom ROM, but then I learned that I need to enable OEM or bootloader, but when I go to developer settings there's no OEM unlocker or something like that, I watched a lot of videos, but couldn't figure it out. I saw that I can use ADB, but that's very complicated (for me). Isn't there a bit easier way to unlock bootloader? And by the way, when I go to recovery mode there's a line that says: reboot to bootloader, when I press on it, it just takes my to download mode (maybe it should do that, I don't know). I really need Your help, cause I want my phone back. Thank You :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] ragedpolak:
That is because the Verizon overlords decided we did not need an unlockable boot loader and have encrypted it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tech15:
So it's the encryption that cannot be bypassed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] fdigl:
Yep, this seems to be a recurring theme with Verizon devices. I used to use a Verizon S4 as my daily driver and that was locked up tight too. I remember there being significant trouble installing AOSP-based ROMs on the S3 as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] morrowa2:
The S3 bootloader was encrypted upon first release. We did eventually get the bootloader unlocked thanks to a leak from within, not by any decryption effort. So for a while, AOSP ROM's were flashable, but most likely Verizon OTA updates, stopped that. I never took a Verizon update on the S3, so I was able to flash ROMs like a boss, for the time it was my daily driver. The S7 is likely to be the last Samsung phone I own, and likely the last phone I purchase through Verizon. I will most likely order the Pixel 2 when it's available, and put an end to this nonsense.

TWRP - Unable to copy files to a totally wiped phone &weird folders on my wiped phone

I'm trying to install a custom rom on my HTC One M8. I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, did an advanced wipe of everything, but now I'm unable to copy the rom image to the phone.

When I boot in recovery mode, TWRP shows up and the phone appears on my computer. But when I browse it, it has 4 folders:

-TWRP

-_nero_sync

- albums

- mobile

This looks weird to me, as I remember TWRP should be the only folder right there. Also, windows wont let me copy files into any of the folders for some reason.

I actually managed to fix this probably by repeatadly wiping the phone yesterday, but now I did it for at least 15 times and it's always the same.

What can that be?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Storage may be corrupted. You can try the "format data" button on the main TWRP "wipe" screen, which often fixes such corruptions issues. Somewhat obvious, you'll lose data when you format; but if you are wiping everything, this shouldn't matter to you.
