[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scribe:
T-Mobile really have no business sense. I am due an upgrade and would like the MDA Vario IV / HTC Touch Pro. They can't tell me when the Vario is out and they wont cut me a deal if I get the touch pro off a reseller even though expansys seem to think it's worth their time offering it on my current contract at £2.50 cheaper a month for £110! Rather than give me a similar deal t-mobile'd rather lose a customer it seems ( and make me wait for my new phone :( ), they're even asking for £100 just to upgrade to the diamond/compact! I don't see the logic :S

I'm tempted to get it off vodaphone business when it's out later this month, if anything just to not stay with t-mobile! (Also although vodaphones coverage sucks they have good contracts and in some places support 6.8mbps 3g).

I feel sorry for anyone else trying to get this phone without paying the £496rrp lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NutsyUK:
Just got woken up by a tmobile rep at a store to tell me the reason why the vario 4 isnt out yet is because the device is currently over heating and HTC need to fix this issue before they sell them :p

I don't know weather this is true or not but it sounds a bit far fetched for a device that's meant to be technically identical to the touch pro.

I dunno maybe there changing hardware specs as well...

Oh and exspansys deals are not fair the contracts are 5-10 quid more expensive per month for the equivalent deals on o2s shop and website.

And untill exspansys changes the details on the site i have to assume the data package does have a 200 mb FUP

Have you tried Parallel Space? - See if that works out better for you.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] rolandliu:

Maybe you have some good advice what im possibly doing wrong?
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] upright619:
I had the exact same issue as you.

I think I know where I went wrong. You probably are making the same mistake as me.

I think you and me both kept copying the original XML file or changed that XML file to a TXT file and then changed that TXT file back to an XML or something like that.

I think you to save the github file for the original 'twin apps' list.

(Go to the code, right click 'raw' at the top-right, click 'ctrl + s', and save the file as an XML file)

You can add whatever app you want from the play store to this new XML file but do not make any more changes (No copying the original XML file or editing this original XML file in any way, except to add more apps through the play store) and try to update the CDN list again through the command prompt/powershell/terminal.

I hope this helps.

Sorry if this has already been posted but I don't see a thread or anything about it yet.

Has anyone figured out how to get the normal Android TV launcher to work on the new Chromecast with GoogleTV? I like the device for our bedroom but I really dislike the interface how it shoves everything in front of you. I just want a plain simple interface like my ShieldTVs have if at all possible.

I've tried some ADB commands on other sites but no luck.

Just wondering if there's an actual way to make this happen or not.

Thank you.
[Google Chromecast] DoubleL03:
I used button remaper to just go to the launcher that I want
[Google Chromecast] WestonWW:
You can turn the "suggested" content off (well, 90% of it) through the menu. I think it's under your user account settings. It does leave a nag label on the screen saying how you are limiting "your experience". It slims the main page down to a row of your installed apps on the launcher, but does leave a background of suggested content.

Thanks for the suggestion for the key remap, I'll have to try that. Is there any lag or page flipping with the key remap? What app are you using?
[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
What exactly do you mean by "I've tried some ADB commands on other sites"? What did you try? Where did you find these things to try?

[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
Anybody want to try a quick and easy experiment? (note that I haven't had the opportunity to try this yet)

Run under ADB:

$ setprop persist.debug.user.package_whitelist_mode 0

Then reboot.

See if the much preferred android tv launcher decides to work.

Here's the reference for it;

services/core/java/com/android/server/pm/UserSystemPackageInstaller.java - platform/frameworks/base - Git at Google
[Google Chromecast] Intenti0n:
sabrina:/ $ setprop persist.debug.user.package_whitelist_mode 0

setprop persist.debug.user.package_whitelist_mode 0

setprop: failed to set property 'persist.debug.user.package_whitelist_mode' to '0'

I get the above error when I tried that.

Anything else to try ?

I did try and install com.google.android.tvlauncher and com.google.android.tvrecommendations from an official Android TV 10 device but when i disable the stock launcher and select "Android TV Home", I just get a blank screen.
[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
Damn. Thanks for trying it. Apparently you need to have greater privileges for that to work. If there were some way to achieve elevated privileges, even temporarily, or otherwise access the USERDATA filesystem, the property could be set and would remain set (since its a "persist" property).

If anybody's got any idea to get a temporary root or boot the thing on external media...?
[Google Chromecast] Alexandre-P:
Really interested in this -- if anybody has any other idea... :)
[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
My next idea would be to modify the apk with a different package name.
[Google Chromecast] lfrst05:
com.google.android.tvlauncher would need the com.android.providers.tv.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EPG_DATA permission to read the Channel data from the com.android.providers.tv provider.

To quote the docs:

Only signatureOrSystem apps can acquire ACCESS_ALL_EPG_DATA permission to access the entire database.

signatureOrSystem = A permission that the system grants only to applications that are in a dedicated folder on the Android system image or that are signed with the same certificate as the application that declared the permission.

As com.google.android.tvlauncher and com.android.providers.tv are signed by two different Google certificates (Serial number 8e02e4498c0a21a8d995f16a28dadd6d53879a27 and fe270bc94d9c0c984c7e3a2f825b6a80055da82c respectively) the TV launcher would only work it it was located in /system/priv-app/ which is not possible without root.
[Google Chromecast] Intenti0n:
That's some fantastic analysis lfrst05

So it looks like unless we can write to system/priv-app , we would not be able to use the leanback launcher.

Thing is, we are able to use a custom launcher, so what if we copy stock launcher, rename the package and then just select that as a launcher to use?
[Google Chromecast] lfrst05:
Custom launcher and stock Android TV launcher are two different things.

To start a launcher, the system looks for an app that can handle the "android.intent.category.HOME" intent (at least on phones, I think it is the same on TV).

On the CCGTV it seems this process has a hardcoded condition in there "if com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx is enabled, ignore any other launcher" (this might be controlled by the persist.debug.user.package_whitelist_mode property mentioned above). However, if the original launcher is disabled, the normal rules apply and you can use any launcher.

The stock Android TV launcher com.google.android.tvlauncher adheres to the same rules. The system starts it, if it is the only launcher available (or if you select it in the list when prompted). The problem is that it immediately crashes because it expects to have system level permissions (to access all data in the TV/channels content provider). This causes the black screen.

Renaming the package will not solve anything. You would still need Google's private keys to sign the package for the system to accept it as an update for the stock launcher.

The only way I see to solve this would be rooting the device and installing the com.google.android.tvlauncher in the system partition. (but with rooting you most likely loose access to DRM content like Netflix) But I am not 100% sure on all of that. There might be some other way around all of that.
[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
Not necessarily, but it may be more involved than renaming since, as you've mentioned, its looking for permissions that aren't available. 3rd party launchers don't need to be signed by goog, therefore neither does the atv launcher, AS LONG AS it is stripped of everything that depends on the signature, which CAN be done, but may be more work than its worth.

Its disappointing that goog hasn't provided an open source launcher for atv as they have for phone/tablet and car. I guess because they really really really want to ram advertising down everyone's throat.

Perhaps this issue with the new CCGTV will be enough of a catalyst for a few of us to contribute to such an objective?

This is the ONLY open sourced atv launcher I've been able to find, and it hasn't been updated in 7 years; https://github.com/rharter/Android-TV-Launcher

Any notion of HOW to achieve root? I couldn't care less about DRM trash.

For some reason Wolf Launcher causes my whole Chromecast to crash, after a few button presses it says "Resetting to factory settings" and reboots to recovery. It doesn't actually do a factory reset, but I have to climb behind the TV to reboot it.

I was able to install LeanbackLauncher for Fire Tv, which seems similar to what others were suggesting. It looks like someone took the source of Leanback and got it working on Fire devices as a new package. On my device it loads, then but it kind of freezes itself after I go to an app and back.

I used appcloner to "clone" "Android TV Home". If i install that, disable the stock launcher, press home - I can select the cloned "Android TV Home" and the launcher starts !

The cloned apk has the package name com.google.androidtvlaunches (notice the s at the end).

The launcher works, i.e I can launch apps. However, I can't add/see any extra channels (playing next etc)
