On 4.30.

I have a custom remote that whenever I press a particular key an “HDMI 4” logo appears on screen for a few seconds. Sometimes when used it is listed as an app in “select favorite app” feature that my android tv device has. But it is not listed in the “Applications” settings so I cannot disable it.

It has something to do with inputs but I cannot edit any input setting in “launcher settings” and I need this input selection to be disabled since it is linked to a very important button on my remote.

Also in the latest release version the “tick boxes” disappeared from “launcher settings” so I cannot see if the setting it’s enabled or disabled.

Also, congrats for such an amazing launcher. It does everything I need and have fantastic features that others lack of.
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
By chance do you have "None" set as your background? I noted that a few weeks ago.
[Android Apps and Games] V9ch:
That’s correct. I have it set as none. I like a pure black background on a OLED tv.
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
That is my preference as well. Someone suggested as a work-around if you have purchased premium you can use a black image as your background instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
Whats wierd is I didn't have those tick boxes at first either... Then later I did a fresh install and they are there, same apk lol
[Android Apps and Games] V9ch:
Yep this seems to be the way, it solves it. A black wallpaper could be better than “none” as default “non-premium” feature. I like the launcher and find it fantastic so just got premium to support it, but still imo black should be available as default.

The “HDMI 4” apk doesn’t appear anymore, although I’m using another box now. On a Nokia SB 8000 it appears and seems to be mapped to a button. But it doesn’t appear anymore on a Nokia SB 8010, neither it is mapped. So I’ll stick to it and set a black wallpaper instead of none.
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
OK I see what you guys are talking about now... I always have a wallpaper so didn't really see the issue.... Only once when I must have gone to general settings before activating wallpaper.. But yeah with "none" as wallpaper the check boxes disappear in General section

Dear friends. I recently installed Prejectivy Launcher on my Formovie S5. I installed Youtube and other apps, but I would like to login with my youtube account because I am youtube premium. But do not log. He exits the application. Is it possible to install Google Play Services?? I looked here but I couldn't. There's a lot of stuff, can anyone help me? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
Why don't you install SmartTubeNext (STN) Beta, which plays youtube without ads, and without need of premium account. I think it doesn't need play services.

How do we remove the big blanc empty space top of the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Appearance -> Categories -> Top margin

Just found they disappeared for me, and I was using Dynamic colors.... Switched to a different background and back again, and check boxes and sliders are back.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeusFFWD:
Weird.. I do not have that Top Margin option. Just row opacity, show headers, title and app names.

Wow, this looks so much better!! Thanks! I didnt thought of checking github for a newer version. Much appreciating your help!
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
Damn I hadn't noticed that top margin feature either.., and I had the github version haha . Just made a little adjustment that makes me like my homescreen even more lol
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Sorry, I have absolutely no time to elaborate now, but I wanted to release the fixed version before the weekend: https://github.com/spocky/miproja1/releases/tag/4.31

The release on the Play Store should follow as soon as I have free time (hopefully next week).
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Thank you!

Long-press settings option is brilliant, and I can now see the Prime Video cards!

I could not understand what this new feature was about though: "Added : long press on the left header of a channel category will start the associated app".

Also, I tried to purchase premium in the Play Store version but it would not let me select the Play Store account I wanted to use.
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
Thanks, @spocky12 for the update with many fixes. Highly appreciate your hard work.

However, I noticed that the seekbar color in various settings make the seekbar almost unreadable when the background of the launcher was set to (Reddit) wallpapers other than dynamic colors:

(EDIT: This only happened now and then.)

I don't know if this has been done on purpose.

On the contrary, when the background of the launcher was set to dynamic colors, the seekbar could be seen very clearly:
[Android Apps and Games] bacusa_unlimited:
Hello tks alot for the apps, i tried it for about 3 days and so far the only little trouble is how to change user profile, i'm using tcl c635 google tv, and when the launcher running pressing android setting then pressing the profile picture doest bring up profile selection menu, only blink and back to the launcer. The work around is multiple step, either open setting, go to account and choose profile or open youtube and switch account on youtube.

Anyone have any sugggestion for apk or shortcut to achieve this profile switching?

Thank you

Now the gray or normal windows do not appear , the category appears empty in the channel and simply nothing appears in the menu

I think the same thing happens with the a3player apk with previous versions of projectivy the empty category appears in channels and does not show anything in the main menu

Bug in new version , channels options don`t working , on the main screen too .
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
Me too. Confirmed that Channel option not working in v4.31.
[Android Apps and Games] JPHCCFC:
Really good app, is there anyway to get the VPN status in the top right corner?
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Definitely not on purpose (and never experienced it myself)

That's weird, the code used to tint the checkboxes is the same than the one for the seekbars. I can't understand how you could have a screenshot like the second one, with 2 different colors at the same time.

I'm having a hard time trying to reproduce this bug. Your pictures show that going to a channel options from the main settings->channels provides a screen that isn't bound to what you see in the launcher (changing the options there won't do anything on the launcher screen). Am I correct ?

Is that the same if you go to the channel settings from the left hand side menu ?

Are all the channels affected (ex: try to enable a channel you've never enabled before) ?

Are any "standard" categories affected as well ?

Not yet
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
The first two pictures were taken on 2 different devices (ONN 4k TV box running stock Android 10 and X96 Max running Slimbox fw 9). That's why they had different colors. If the focus was not on the seekbar you can hardly see its slider.

As for Edit Channels option, I clean installed v4.31 on one of my devices and saw no problems enabling or disabling channels. But on a device (running Slimbox FW) updated from v4.30 to 4.31, the channels already enabled before would not turned off (removed from the home screen, ex: SmartTubeNext) when I disabled them. In the below screenshot you can see a strange behavior that History and Recommended of SmartTubeNext had been disabled:

But on the previous screen they were still shown as enabled and their channels were displayed on the home screen too:

Channels not enabled before would not be displayed on the home screen when enabled (ex: Youtube which had been played from time to time). I don't know if this issue was OS related or not.

As for Edit Categories option, I saw no problems enabling/disabling exisiting categories or add/remove categories.
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
I can confirm this channels behaviour on my shieldtv after upgrade to v4.31.

The visible toggle for channels does nothing here. They stay as they were configured before. It does not matter if they were accessed from launcher menu or channel menu. 🤔
[Android Apps and Games] HunterNet:
@spocky12

You're correct

Standard categories working well

apk's with channel problems detected :

Smartube

Spotify

Haystack News

Youtube

apk's with no problem:

Live TV

Xiaomi TV

RTVE Play

unknow with the bad programmed AtresPlayer channels mistery still on it
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
no problem at all here with anything on new version im on gcgtv
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
App categories could hide / show without problems.

Same behaviour on my Sony A90J.

Tried all app channels on both devices.

Only the watch next row shows / hides.

All other channels stay as they were configured before.
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
Clean installation of v4.31 or clear data of the launcher if upgaded from v4.30 seemed to fix issues in Edit Channels option. Remenber that channels such as Recommended, History or something alike of media playing apps eg. SmartTube or Youtube etc. would only appear on the home screen once they had been played for sometime.

I have some of the reddit wallpapers not working right now, and some are working... The ones that don't apply just go to the default wallpaper. Earth, Astrophotography, Sea, Car are ones that are not working of what I've tried so far. Anybody else experience that?
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
There is a remote key shortcut that opens settings without going home... I'll have to check on my cube, it's a long press of something and you can jump right to settings I think, and avoid the horrible homepage
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
OK it's just long press home button lol. That will take you to settings directly, then use back button to leave and you come back to custom launcher... Avoid amazon homepage completely
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
Half of reddit is shut down thats why ! lots a of subreddit are not coming back after going private to fight against reddit new terms of service.

The Dev should look into new sources for wallpaper since reddit is killing its third party access API too !

Oh yeah I forgot that lol, I mean I knew that but I didn't connect it to the wallpapers lol, a few are still working so not a big deal for now. We'll see how all this pans out. Reddit are shooting themselves in the foot

I'm having an issue with Channel Connect where its channels only display grey placeholder icons instead of the item posters from Plex. I updated to version 4.31, but saw this issue with 4.3 and 4.24. I tried a clean install of Projectivy, but that didn't fix it, unfortunately.

I did confirm that the posters are showing correctly in the default Android TV launcher. I'm on a Shield TV, is anyone else experiencing this issue with Channel Connect? Otherwise, Projectivy has been phenomenal.
[Android Apps and Games] ngcard:
I'm using an NVIDIA Shield TV 2019. I upgraded to version 4.31 a couple of days ago, and this morning when I turned on my Shield I noticed the launcher wasn't running. When I tried to run it, it crashed immediately. I tried clearing cache and data on the app and it still wouldn't launch. I then installed 4.30 and it worked fine, upgrading to 4.31 again reproduces the crashes. Not sure what the deal is, but you may want to hold off putting 4.31 in the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Basche:
For some reason, when I updated from 4.2.4 to 4.3.1, I no longer see channel connect rows in the home screen. When I go look at the channels, I see the crossed-out eye symbol for the Channel connect, but in the launcher settings details of each channel connect row they are set to visible.
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
Channel connect Dev stopped working and maintaining the project by the way as he moved on to a new project which is combining channel connect to his own launcher he is making called dispatch launcher.

The previously detected bug with channels affects moving them up or down on the main screen. It is another bug or a derivative of the same one above.
[Android Apps and Games] Grindy78:
Any ETA on when the newest version is gonna hit the Play Store? Also if I install the github version, is it automatically premium or only free possible? I want custom background and the ability to edit the empty top space.
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
When i installed github version over the top of the premium version it retained premium. I could not purchase premium in the GitHub version.
[Android Apps and Games] Grindy78:
Oh sick, that's great to know! I just got my Nokia 8010 today and have been playing with the Prductivity Launcher for the first time, absolutely brilliant piece of software! I'm guessing sideloading the github version won't automatically update from the Play Store in the future right?
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
I would not expect it to update automatically, but an assuming that you will be able to manually update it from the Play Store. Not 100% sure though...
[Android Apps and Games] AbejoSid:
Hi, if I disable the Play Store it does not recognize the premium, have you thought of validating the license in some other way?
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
I think instead of using Channel connect the Plex users can use the Stock Watch Next channel (top one in Projectivy settings) and then hide other apps from there, and leave Plex and the plex posters will show okay afaik. I don't use plex but my cousin uses it like that and said it works. At least Plex Watch Next can be shown.
[Android Apps and Games] Grindy78:
I just found out that HDMI One Touch CEC Switching whatever it's called to switch from another input device to my Android TV Box doesn't work when I have Projectivity Launcher as my launcher active, it only works with the standard launcher. That is unfortunately a no-go for me, since I use it constantly. Anything that can be done about that in the future or not possible to implement?
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
I didn't disable the Play Store version - just updated the app with the Github APK.
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
people use channel connect not for the play next but to make custom channels with plex.... Like new released movies or special collections
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
OK understood, I've never really used plex, played with it a bit that's all. So channel connect is going extinct then?
[Android Apps and Games] ooftymcgoofty:
Hello—I am thinking about buying a v58. As I understand it, it has a modified version of android TV (not android) for the os. If this is true, can you tell me if the channels function works in projectivy? Thank you!

It's a great launcher. But I can't figure out how to disable the start page on Xiaomi TV, so that this launcher won't throw me out there.

Thanks for your response.

In the meentime I did a system reset and rooted, I installed the latest version of Projectivy Launcher and installed the Google Play Services. Unfortunately Google Play doesn't work, I have to use Aptoide to install apps. I also tried to uninstall Google Apps but the message appears: Couldn't uninstall Google Apps/Services. Were they installed?

Having connected a PC to the projector, I don't really care that Google Play works for now, the only problem is that I can't activate the paid version of Projectivy Launcher. I tried to pay by mobile but it's not compatible :(
[Android Apps and Games] Tautologica:
My hypothesis is that pressing several time Home button activates TalkBack now that Accessibility is on. This used to happen to my son and I've instructed him not to start the TV by pressing multiple time Home button but just one time. Hasn't happened since the issue anymore.

Hey, 4.32 is published on Github, hopefully fixing most of the recently reported bugs, and adding a few improvements as well.

Next, I'll focus on the Google Play release.
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Nice update again.

That channel bug is fixed for me. 😎👍

Would it be possible to move the title of the track in "now playing" to the right (or left) side of the icon in a future build?

This would probably look better and the text field could then use more screen width to show even long track titles completely. 😀

Hey guys! I got to the ADB and Fastboot part where we have to enter "adb reboot update" but that just gets stuck in a black screen with a slightly elevated fan sound. I think it might have to do with my Productivity Launcher version? According to the video on youtube we have to install 2.17 first and then the latest version, but I couldn't find 2.17 neither in the forum or apptoid tv. Freeze apps don't work as well. Highly appreciate some feedback on how to fix this issue. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
you should only take directions from the actual dev and not someone who repacks the app to get click and make clickbait video

I meant this step:

Type "adb reboot update" (This will restart your device and make it boot the TWRP on the USB drive.)

Hello, I've been having a problem with Skyshowtime and the "Continue Watching" section for a few days now. The first problem started when it stopped updating the progress I was making on the Skyshowtime series. I decided to delete the Skyshowtime cache and reinstall it and delete the Projectivity cache.

After that, directly, Skyshowtime content does not appear in "Continue Watching" and when I turn on content recommendations I get what you see in the picture.

I have updated to the latest version of Projectivity on Github and the problem persists. The rest of the applications work normally, does anyone have any idea what could be the cause?
