I've just installed this launcher per a TP video review of the app. At present I do not have the premium version but am considering doing so shortly.

I have a few questions and concerns.

1. I have 57 apps installed on my 2019n nVidia Pro but only 47 apps are present in the Projectivy Launcher.

2. In the Projectivy settings the "Input" feature is greyed out.

3. The "Pick Image" feature is greyed out.

4. In Launcher Wallpaper the "User Defined" feature is greyed out.

5. I would rather have all apps appear on list in settings and to be able to assign their location from there.

6. I would be more convenient when relocating an app to another group. That the app you are moving would automatically be removed from the group you transferred it from.

7. It would be visually more pleasing to be able to relocate the positioning and spacing of the rows.

8. Adding more levels of reducing card size would be of value.

9. Adding more customization features for the cards would be a nice upgrade, i.e., transparency, shape, shadow, or importing user made.

10. Resizing the clock would be nice.

11. Ability to add widgets such as weather, stocks, calendars, etc., would be a nice upgrade feature.

12. Adding animated backgrounds would be something no other launcher has done. Although, maybe for good reasons?

This app has a lot of potential to become the premier launcher and can become the go-to launcher of choice!

Btw, these are just my observations and opinions and are not intended to be critical in any way. As I stated previously your app piqued my interest and I downloaded the basic version. I will be purchasing the premium version soon to evaluate the added features to enhance my experience using this app.

Update: I purchased the premium sub, but unfortunately it did not activate any of the premium features. Therefore, I have requested a refund from the Google Play Store. If this issue can be resolved, I will be more than happy to re-purchase the premium subscription.

Hello Projectivity Launcher developer. I ended up paying for the premium version but premium features are still greyed out.

It's (app) asking me to pay again for premium but on my Google play budget and order history it's clearly stated paid and I received receipt from Google.

I found this troubling since it had to do with payments.

I have proceeded by requesting a refund via Google play store.

Please correct this issue.

Any plans to offer premium version on Amazon Appstore for FireTV?

A bit annoying that you can't change the Wallpaper, as this is for premium only.

Looking for further versions, but for now I'll stay with Wolf Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Powerfader:
I agree with you. Wolf is far superior in customization with the one main exception being Wolf does not offer a rotating background option. Since Sweeny has quit doing any updating. It isn't likely to be added any time soon.

The random, rotating background option is a nice feature within the Projectivy Launcher, but that is the ONLY feature at present sets it apart from Wolf.

I do like the ease in setting up the app, but even after paying for the upgrade I have yet to have access to the 2-3 premium features that I paid for! Such as importing my own backgrounds.

Wolf offers a lot more customization which makes the Wolf Launcher appealing for the seasoned user. The Projectivy launcher with its ease in setting up and the rotating backgrounds makes it a pleasing user friendly experience for the more basic user.

I just discovered this launcher alternative after my device needed a reset to stop the stupid “your device is critically low on storage” alert

Hadn’t had a problem with Wolf Launcher in forever, so I was shocked to find out the Feb update blocked all launchers and made it impossible to delete with Total Commander.

I downloaded this, but neither the Accessibility Service nor Android Settings sections will work. It tells me the shortcuts are missing.

I’m working with a Toshiba FireTV and “My Fire TV” is completely gone, but I’ve managed to get Developer Mode off, turned off tracking settings, turned on ADB debugging and…still can’t get the home button to remap to Projectivy…help…

Has the developer of Projectivy Launcher abandoned the project? He hasn't responded to a post or posted any new updates in about 3 months. MIA?

@spocky12, I do like this launcher and just purchased it tonight, my issue is, I like using a wireless keyboard (Logitech USB dongle attached to hub) to edit list names/general typing passwords and such... when editing the category I can't hit enter, I have to use the virtual keyboard, now I thought this was because an app I use called nokeyboard (gets rid of the on-screen keyboard) but I disabled that and still can not get rename to save after I type it (I think wolf launcher has it set up to where the ok or back button saves edit).

Also, I can't wait until you figure out the rows. 1 row of 20+ apps is frustrating, but I know you're working on it.

Widgets would be nice, but I can't even get them working in wolf launcher on CCwGTV Android 12....

Any chance to randomize a wallpapers folder? I'd like that. and I agree with these suggestions from @Powerfader:

5. I would rather have all apps appear on the list in settings and be able to assign their location from there.

6. It would be more convenient when relocating an app to another group. That the app you are moving would automatically be removed from the group you transferred it from.

Hi everybody! I have troubles installing it on a TCL T7K V8-T653T11 tv, It says the system has blocked the app

Can anyone give me some tips on what to freeze in ADB or just how to install it? :)
[Android Apps and Games] KaBoS.:
Hello, there is a problem choosing a folder for background When I click on Choose Folder it does nothing

There is no problem in choosing one background, the only problem is in choosing the folder,

There is also a problem with app titles appearing on the home page (Shown at the edge) Its location needs to be improved

Example

thanks.

Um i currently have a Wisdom Share Smart Cloud Tv Android 9. i currently have the app but when trying to enable the accessibility settings it wont press at all. is there a way to enable this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] FamRot4:
Sorry, I can't read through 60 pages, but this link was the result of scanning the QR Code in the Projectivity TV app .... where can I open a support ticket? I bought the app and now it doesn't work anymore like through the testing before I bought the "premium" pack.

I tested it yesterday and everything worked fine including rebooting the TV and launching with the Projectivity launcher and my settings.

Today, when I turned our TV on, the launcher didn't start. So I started it from the build in launcher and noticed that all my settings were gone! I reconfigured all my settings and tried to "Export" them, but that doesn't work also: when I click export (either local or other) I just get a message "Die Aktion kann von keiner App ausgeführt werden." (roughly: "The action can't be executed from any app").

No matter what I do: move the app to internal storage, switch off and on all app rights, starting it again ... all my settings are gone and the app starts as new with the welcome screen and default settings!

I am really angry because I bought the premium yesterday and now it doesn't work anymore. What can I do?

(We have a Sony Bravia TV from 2015 with Android 7)

In addition: through all those try and errors to somehow get it to stay, it suddenly goes crazy: 1 click up/down results in 5 clicks up/down until I reboot the whole TV! (Already happened 2 times.)
[Android Apps and Games] Duvel999:
Check Playstore for support ticket.

You can mail the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] VisualWarlock:
I made a post about this a few pages back but I'm restating it because I can't figure out how to solve it and its driving me crazy.

Simply put, every time my wallpapers changes/refreshes (I use the Reddit wallpaper option) on the launcher main page it changes the size of the app icons. I can't tell if this is caused by the "timer" between wallpaper changes, interference from the Chromecast I am running it on or another setting altogether. I can reset the change by restarting my Chromecast but it is occurring more and more frequently making it at nuisance. If anyone knows what the cause might be, please let me know.

I have tried changing to no wallpaper and dynamic colours to stop the problem, but it keeps happening regardless.

Also, can someone please explain what the wallpaper timer does? if its to indicate how long a wallpaper displays for before changing, is it possible to have the same wallpaper indefinitely? (I am currently using the free version of the launcher)

Installed on Nvidia Shield. Great Launcher! I created some new categories. Noticed that when I try to Add or Move to... it does not give me the option to move to those new categories. Only lists Video, Games, Favorites and Music as an option. How can I move to these new custom categories?

One more question... is there an option to add a weather widget to the Home Screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Ad Fundum:
Hi all,

For me, the "autostart on boot" option is not working to launch Kodi (or any other app) on my Shield TV Pro, even having "...and upon resuming from standby" enabled. I have disabled the stock launcher through ADB and have granted Projectivity accessibility options access as well. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] gft77:
I just recently installed Projectivity Launcher and I'm enjoying it. The one question I have though is, is there a way to have Google TV Live as one of the "apps" I can click on? I have an Onn 4k Pro, and it has a Live TV button that will take me to Google TV Live, but it doesn't work with Projectivity.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] steef84:
Using this launcher with much joy on my 75” Philips Miniled TV. Thank you for making this available.

Is there a function too see a “now playing card”? For example when Spotify or TuneIn Radio is playing in the background?
[Android Apps and Games] raouf77:
great job, good luck and wait for next update
[Android Apps and Games] timekeeper:
Love your work and this launcher. The random wallpaper options are so nice and I appreciate the touch of being able to get a QR code in the wallpaper details.

Does Android provide any API to tap into the ‘Up next’ or ‘continue watching’ row in the stock Google launcher like on the Shield? It can pull in continue watching data from apps like Emby and Plex and would be so useful.
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Hey,

It's been a long time, sorry, I wanted to focus on the new release, which took more time than expected.

I'll try to catch up on the last messages, but I'll keep it short.

Next release seems to work fine with this launcher. There's also an alternative accessibility configuration available because there doesn't seem to be a unique config to satisfy every device :(

Thanks !

I've just added the project on crowdin : https://crowdin.com/project/projectivy-launcher

Any help with localization is welcome !

It's on my todo list ;)

Root is required to edit the thermal configuration file, so this is not an option for now :(

You can find the option in FengOs settings. Just use Google translator on your phone to use real time translation on the camera input.

I didn't give up on this idea, but it won't be in the next release unfortunately :(

I haven't checked the Amazon store requirements and API regarding in-app purchases management yet.

1- Could you please tell me a few apps that are not visible in Projectivy but visible in the stock Shield launcher ? A current limitation on Projectivy is that it only displays the main icon of each app. If other activies in the same app have launcher icons, they are not visible. I could fix that, but that would be a breaking change that would probably require users to reconfigure their icons from scratch. I might do it in the future, not sure yet.

2- It should be only available on devices which offer input sources

3- Only available on premium

4- Only available on premium

5- I'll think about it

6- Done in next release

7- Rows can already be reorderd, spacing no customizable yet

8- Done in next release

9- it's on my todo list

10- it's on my todo list

11- it's on my todo list

12- Not sure why they did it, but the Wallpaper Manager available on mobile is not part of Android Tv. Without it, it might no be really efficient

Purchases should be resolved in next release

Purchases should be resolved in next release

Customization may not be as advanced as in Wolf, but it's improving, just give it time. I find your comparison a bit harsh, Projectivy offers unique features such as : input sources, parental control, calibration patterns, idle detection, "material you" colors management, shortcuts to engineering menus, third party apps install, as well as many root-only of xiaomi-only features (display profile management, web remote control...).

FireTv is not known for its openness. They rather close as much as possible and prevent most customization. It's not easy to support. Next release should be more compatible though.

Hey, still here ;)

- text edition should be fixed

- multirow supported in next release

- widgets are on my todo list

- wallpapers folder are on my todo list

- next release will support notifications. Now playing card information will be visible there but it won't be clickable. This will have to wait for the release after that.

- available in next release ;)
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
...speaking of which, Projectivy Launcher 4.20 has just been released !

I hope you'll like it

If everything goes as expected, the Google Play Store version should be updated by the end of the week.

Changelog is on the first page.

A few notes :

- Channels support requires at least Android 8. Then most Android Tv devices should support it (of course, not the FireTv :/)

- Pinned shortcuts requires Projectivy to be the default launcher (only the launcher recognized by the OS as the default one can access them). Moonlight shortcuts should then be supported.

- Custom categories can mix any card : app/setting/channel/shortcut... This means you can create a custom category linking to programs of different streaming services.

- Notification support requires a special access. This can't be required directly from Projectivy (on Android TV at least, as Google is not very coherent in its APIs), you'll have to go to apps permission/ special access, and allow notification access there.

- "Default launcher choice popup" is a system feature. It doesn't seem to be honored on my FireTv or my Shield2019. Not sure for the other devices (it works perfectly on smartphones fwiw)

- Battery is only displayed in status bar if your device has a battery

- Category multiline support is a bit special : the category will never overflow the bottom of the screen. If it requires more space, then this category will have internal vertical scrolling enabled.

- Ambient mode on "back double-press" will launch the screen saver on supported devices (Chromecast w/Google Tv, Nvidia Shield...)

- The accessibility services seem to be supported differently on different devices. With one configuration, this will cause a long volume display timeout on FengOs. With another one, this system bug won't be triggered, but on Nvidia Shield's stock launcher, a simple press on an app will behave as a long press and trigger the contextual menu. There is no universal configuration that works everywhere. That's why I added an option to enable the "alternate accessibility settings". If something doesn't work as expected on your device with the accessibility enabled, just give is a try.
[Android Apps and Games] i420piate:
Hey Thanks for getting back to everyone and myself, So I had to reset my CCwGTV to defaults today and I guess I installed the new version just after it updated, the inputs are greyed out, now I read you said it will be on unsupported devices, but it worked good on CCwGTV before, and with me moving my TV to another area with other devices (Xbox, sat, Bluray) I was hoping to have a quick way to change inputs. before after i installed Projectivy, the input icons also added on the wolf launcher too (I bounce between the launchers) It would just be nice to get them back.
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
My logs show an early bug in the 4.20. A new 4.21 will be uploaded later today, sorry for this.

Not sure I understand : CCwGTV doesn't have any physical input, so there shouldn't be any input visible in Projectivy.

Or maybe you're talking about your TV ? Could you please give me more details on your issue ?

Of course, everything that worked before, should still work now. If not, this is clearly a bug (which is totally possible, given how many things I've changed).

1, How to add hidden apps to the main homescreen ,(i have hide some apps now i cant able to see or add those apps to home screen)

2, Music player widget is missing (In stock launcher when i play music there is music widget appear in homescreen, but in your launcher its not working )

3, Time is not getting updated correctly without internet connection (need to connect to internet in order to update the clock time)
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Just recently discovered this awesome launcher. I tried a lot of tv launchers and none was really satisfiying for me. This one is great and the new update looks promising. Have already bought premium. I hope developement and improvements can continue for a long time to come.

I tested version 4.20 and noticed the app crashes when you want to access edit categories / channels in the launcher menu.

Tested on my shield tv & bravia tv. Both the same.

Otherwise good job. 😀
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
1- If you used the "hide app" feature on "Mobile Apps" or "Tv Apps" category, just edit this category parameters (go to the left hand side, then click the cog). There you'll find the apps you've hidden, just click to restore them

2- widgets are not supported yet

3- I can't replicate your issue. If I use airplane mode, the clock updates perfectly fine here. Even if I go o the android settings to manually change the clock, it's automatically reflected in Projectivy as it should. I've used the exact same code used by Google on its launcher, so I doun't understand how that could be. If you have a way to reproduce it, don't hesitate to share (please also tell me the device on which you have thi issue)

Thanks !

Regarding your bug, that's the reason 4.20 has been pulled off.

Edit : the new release is available.
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Version 4.21 works really good here. Just found out that categories rows will stop to slide out of the screen when configured as multi row. This is incredible. I always found this behaviour a little annoying. 🤔

This launcher is really almost perfect now.

Channels work great.

Awesome job. 😀👌

Only this new notification support does not always work for me it seems. Sometimes a notification for the app that plays in background is shown, sometimes not.

The top of the cake probably would be widget support in a future version.

(Especially a media widget that shows what plays in the background would be super awesome.)

Please keep up the good work mate! 😎

Sincerely, a super happy customer.

Hi all - the launcher is great! Nice, clean UI and easy to customise!

The only issue I have is when I double-press HOME button I dont see the list of open apps to switch between. Im using it on NVIDIA SHIELD PRO.

Is this something Im doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
I think double-tapping Home is not supported while using the accesibility service of projectivity launcher. 🤔

But you can configure the menu button of the shield to open app switcher as workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] gumson3000:
Menu button already taken but just tried Button Mapper app and works!

It would be nice seeing this feature in the Launcher itself.

Thanks anyway!

welcome to the forum :) for some time I have this great program from the play store, I even bought premium because I think you did a great job!

I noticed that there is a newer version on the forum, so I decided to update.

Unfortunately, now there is a problem on my Xiaomi 4k:

When I don't touch the remote control for a few minutes and, for example, I press the volume down, in addition to the volume window, the power window also pops up :( I didn't have this problem on the older version.

Can I somehow restore the projector to factory settings? I would reinstall everything and see if the problem persists

Additional question, has anyone managed to change the HDMI input using ADB? Of course, on the Xiaomi 4K projector.

The "HDMI1" or other command does not work.

However, the LEFT, RIGHT, BACK commands work

@spocky12 My projector model is L176FCN. Using the official kodi 18.9 cannot be hardware accelerated. Using the kodi-18.5-aml-api23.apk you provided is perfectly compatible. So wondering what you changed on the official 18.5 version. Can you provide code for me to learn?

I tried to modify the above code in version 19, but it didn't work

WARNING: For those about to UPGRADE to the latest version, be aware that on my NVidia Shield 2017, my home screen settings were completely wiped and I've had to recreate everything which is annoying as my Home screen took me months to get it just so :)

[Android Apps and Games] i420piate:
Yes, the TV inputs would show up, I could've sworn they worked too, switching TV inputs. I could be wrong on that but I thought I tried them and they did in fact change the TV inputs, and they carried over to Wolf Launcher too, looking just like an app banner. I could be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] Kaudii:
Hello @spocky12, it gets more and more interesting with each version, but I am interested in the issue of renaming the input connectors. I know you can change it, you can set that when you switch it shows you the changed name on the screen, but in the Lanuncher selection menu you see the names HDMI1, HDMI2 etc. Is there anything you can do about this too? So that the names changed in the settings are displayed?
