about the new version :

still broken on new version

gray thumbnails still broken too

-missed the old option on old tv launchers pressing the left arrow can't push the apk icon for open the main apk on videos . One need go up and press the correct apk window.

still broken

-the running videos like on Haystack News and similar, don't show on live windows , showing the static window only on launcher.

still broken

-*******(Solved on new version) Maybe a wifi Icon connection status at upper right should help more than a battery icon on a smart tv and finally i see much space lost on upper screen.

Thank you for the new version i appreciate it so much and looks better now.

Bug:

If you select "none" for background image, many of the elements in settings menu are not visible.

An easy fix, select a completely black wallpaper.

I have the same issue as well, I wasn't sure if GoogleTV has to be older than a specific version for this to work.

Mine is at: Device Build: STTE.221215.004.A1

I have com.google.android.tvlauncher disabled.

There is also com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx

But disabling that plays havoc, the screen goes black.
[Android Apps and Games] Rundamenealuh20:
Well that's really helpful
[Android Apps and Games] stevevalo:
Thats the same thing that happened to me, I tried re-installing Play store and now it doesn't open at all.

It also stopped being my default launcher which I can't seem to set anymore either.

hi there, every time i power off the projector, i get a message that the system is going to update, 2 seconds after, the update fails, and the projector reboots itself, anyone know how to fix this?

I can't buy premium. I have bought other in app purchases from other application. But when I try to buy premium for this app I get unavailable service. Later I will update with precise message
[Android Apps and Games] miztahsparklez:
Mine started doing the same. Seems Like the projector is trying to update over OTA despite having smart/auto update Disabled.

It will not force update with network unplugged, so at least external sources are okay. May have to do a factory reset or un-root.

Rainmen running v4.01 the input cards were there in the beginning. After installing the recommended apps on the list including googleplay/services it disappeared. The inputnfiepd under the launcher setting is greyed out and even if i reactivate on the contextual menu it doesnt return.
[Android Apps and Games] gqbigpaps:
Not sure if its an isolated case but after trying to fix the greyedout or absemt input bug Ive found out that there was something wrong with root. While the launcher reported it had root access l, i couldnt freeze or unfreeze apps/launcher etc. So i rerooted again and now input is back. Yay.
[Android Apps and Games] kcinickgx:
have you try multiple reboots, mine come and goes on every power on, it's a lottery.
[Android Apps and Games] gqbigpaps:
After rerooting everything is fine now. My guess is between after the first root and installing the recommended packages root got messed up. So rerooting once again seems to fix my problems. Hopefully it will for others. As well.

Ps. It also fixed not being ulable to update anything through playstore.

Ps2. After few reboots root seems to be lost again. Ive tried a couple more reboots to see if input comes back but it doesnt until i go intpo twrp amd reinstall the root zip.

Nice Work @spocky12

I've installed this on my MiTV3 and wanted to get Premium, but since it is without Google Services in the first place, is there no way to purchase Premium at all ?

Also, since MiTV3 is on Android 5.1.1, i assume the installing of Google Services framework does not apply here, since it's meant for Android 6 ?

check how to flash to factory on the original thread, link on the first post...
[Android Apps and Games] Brutoloco:
Hello, thanks for your Launcher, I have been testing it with a Mi TV P1 43", because precisely I have the problem that when I uninstall the original launcher, I cannot use the input button to change input.

With your launcher you still can't use the input button, but at least you can change the input. About this I must say that the "com.google.android.leanbacklauncher" application must remain active, otherwise all input options disappear from Projectivity Launcher. On this TV that app is not the android launcher, but some kind of legacy system app. The stock app that is usable as a launcher is called: "com.google.android.tvlauncher" By the way, I use this app: adbappcontrol to manage TV apps by adb.

Another interesting option that Projectivity Launcher has is that it allows you to leave the original launcher and replace it, without uninstalling it, in this way the input button would continue to work. However, this consumes additional resources so it is not optimal. Those resources are then needed for high-resolution video playback or native interpolation.

Feedback on problems I have encountered for which I am writing this message:

- In the case of activating the accessibility options, the volume up and down button lose the effects of long pressing, with which the volume is raised or lowered from high to low values or vice versa, quickly with a single press. With the accessibility options activated, you would have to raise or lower the volume one at a time, pressing and releasing the vol+ or vol-. The other buttons, however, the direction buttons for example, do not lose this same ability, and can scroll from top to bottom in a list or in the application panel from left to right with a single press. Even if the accessibility options of the launcher are activated.

- In case of not activating the accessibility options, everything works fine, in fact I personally don't think I need this function, however, it would be useful to be able to deactivate the warning that appears from time to time at the bottom about activating the options of accessibility.

- Not strictly a problem, but I would like to be able to buy the full version of the app without having to use a google account. I don't usually use google apps on my tv, for performance and privacy reasons, and I don't know what would happen if I bought the app and then turned it off again. Would it still be active?

- The remote control qr code does nothing, my phone does not detect that qr. I do not know what it could be. But the rest of qr works. Could you give me the remote control app link here?

- It would be great if the input button with access to the input options side panel could work independently of the factory launcher. If this were implemented it would be a great advance.

I am going to attach the applications that I have mentioned above, related to the input problem, in case they are useful to you.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Kassiopl:
jI already checked and tried 😕, unfortunately I don't have any more attempts, I was thinking here, if I could access the option I moved In the Miproj application and being able to deactivate it even without having a visualization, tioo following a step by step kkk would work, remembering that as I restored I will need to install miproj again And access that image profile area and enable image and not background erased like I did for this to happen 🤦🏼‍♂️
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Hi,

Sorry for the lack of activity recently, I've been really busy.

Yep

You probably need to freeze the play store (of course, before it gets updated). This happens on some models.

Of course I remember :)

There's unfortunately no easy way to update the system.

Have you tried :

adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.spocky.projengmenu/.services.WindowChangeDetectingService

to enable the accessibility service directly from adb ?

No problem, pm uninstall won't really uninstall the app (system partition is read only). The instructions I give can totally "freeze" and "unfreeze" apps. I don't remember exactly, but I believe pm disable did not work in some cases (old android version?), whereas the pm uninstall does.

It's on my todo list (right after fixing the current bugs)
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Edited : Unfortunately, there no "intent" to change android tv input, this is totally partially vendor specific (at least regarding Xiaomi devices, which are the only android tv devices equipped with hdmi input that I own). I've added the intents working on the devices I had access to (mostly xiaomi devices on amlogic or mediatek SOCs), and a fallback Tv view developped by myself and based on Android Tv Api).

The Activity source you linked to is not complete and can't change anything :(

Do the input links in Projectivy work for you or not at all ? If they do, why do you need an input panel ? If they don't, I would probably need a rom dumps to reverse engineer the intent.

I also paste my answer to Brutoloco below :

Displaying transparent activities (ex: side menus) is forbidden by Google on Android Tv. The first version of Projectivy Tools did this and Google refused to let the app on the store because of it :(

However, I could probably add this on a side menu inside my own Tv View (which doesnt support CEC unfortunately, due to Android Tv limitations)

With the accessibility service however, you can double press the menu button and while the toast is on screen, use the left/right arrows to navigate between input channels.

Does that fit your needs ? Or is there any use case I'm missing ?

Concerning the pinned shortcuts, are you talking about this ? It's on my todo list to make projectivy a pinned shortcut "receiver", but I don't understand how you could pin a shortcut to the apps page of settings and bind it to a button. Could you enlighten me ?

Xiaomi can force update their devices even though you disabled the auto-update. There's not much you can do against it if you need internet access.

I4d be interested in getting the error message because when Google Paly is installed, this should work fine.

There's a bug on the latest version that won't show the input cards if the android tv input framework is not installed (this was to prevent showing cards on devices with no input (ex : tv boxes). It's fixed in the next released.

Next on my todo list

Yes, the Google Services that can be installed on rooted devices through "intell 3rd party apps" is only meant for Android 6.
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Thanks for your feedback.

That's a bug I've noticed at least on FengOs with mediatek socs : as soon as an Accessibility service is enabled (not only Projectivy's, Button Mapper accessibility service behaves the same) the volume buttons lose their long press function. Worse, on my accessibility service, I don't even receive the volume key events, so no workaround is possible on my side :(

Good idea, will be on next release.

Projectivy uses the standard android billing library. There's probably a cache, but I suppose that it makes a verification from time to time. Without any valid answer, it might consider your purchase as not valid anymore.

That's weird, it's working fine on my phone. It links to mireco.hopto.org (head to the other thread, dedicated to Xiaomi Projectors, for more information). This remote uses an api available on MiTv and has been tested woring fine on Android 6.0. It doesn't work on FengOs. Not sure for international models.

Displaying transparent activities (ex: side menus) is forbidden by Google on Android Tv. The first version of Projectivy Tools did this and Google refused to let the app on the store because of it :(

However, is could probably add this on a side menu inside my own Tv View (which doesnt support CEC unfortunately, due to Android Tv limitations)

With the accessibility service however, you can double press the menu button and while the toast is on screen, use the left/right arrows to navigate between input channels.

Not sure how this can be fixed. Do you remember which value you set and which one was selected before ?
[Android Apps and Games] Kassiopl:
I remember navigating to launcher settings, image profile, messing with rgb and out of curiosity I activated an option to leave the display off, then I couldn't deactivate it anymore because it turned off , then I thought that if I restore my TWRP backup everything would go back to zero, but it didn't, now I don't have the application installed anymore and even then the image goes out right after starting
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
@spocky12 ,

It's great that the Projectivy Launcher now fully supports Now Playing on the home screen.

Feature request: visual effects of the Now Playing.
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Sounds like a work-around possibly - not a fix. Are you talking about the "Pick image" option? I am assuming you have to have Premium for this, as it is disabled for me.
[Android Apps and Games] trilogiasx:
I had been looking for a launcher for Android TV that I liked for a long time. I have tried many and this is the first one that I liked and that I leave it on. Congratulations. Just one question; the SkyShowtime card is completely transparent, the name appears but not the card icon, why?
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
Yes, it needs the premium version.. And you are right, work-around is a better description.. English is not my native language..
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
I appreciate the info!
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
Thank you, @spocky12 for your quick attention.

1. Description of Settings - Status Bar: Took note

2. Display of Vietnamese characters: The 3 three workarounds are possible, thanks for your efforts to support for our language. But in my opinion, the easiest is to force all UPPERCASE.

3. Missing boxes/sliders should be fixed in next release: Took note.

4. Clearing of notification messages: Thanks for your instruction on how to clear them one by one using left or right arrow when they're focused.

EDIT: I did try using left/right arrow, some notifications were dismissed, some not and it restarted the Projectivy Launcher.

As for the left headers, I ALSO almost never trigger it, unless I want to reorder or change a category setting. It's nice that you are thinking of modifying the behavior of the "back" button "to mimic the stock launcher : long pressing left stops at the 1st card, you have to release the button and press it once more to display the reorder button".
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Here is a screenshot of me selecting the screen height slider. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
This is exactly what I experienced though I selected dynamic colours as my background, the checkboxes on the left and sliders were missing. @spocky12 said that this would be fixed in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Danpergal84:
Hi. I have installed the launcher on my Firestick 4K Max and everything works perfectly except for a problem with the "Watch Next" section. In it all my streaming apps appear correctly except Netflix, of which the content I'm watching does not appear. I have tried installing different versions of the app but none of them have appeared on the screen to select the apps that should appear in the "Watch Next" section.

Does this happen to anyone else. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Interesting! I have not noticed this with Dynamic colors. I am curious, as the menu accent color is different depending on the color of the background when you go into settings, is it happening with a specific background color or all the time? For example, have a different icon selected on the top row before going into settings.
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
I did not noticed whether it happened when any particular colors were used as background. It just happened a few time when I went thru different settings of the launcher and for now no more issues. Maybe a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
A crash sometimes happens when dismissnig a notification. It's a last minute bug I added when implementing a recent feature. It'll be fixed in next release.

Couldn't reproduce here, but I see why this happens. This should be fixed

I have a 4K max, I'll test it when I get home.

[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Netflix content never ever adds content to watch next, even on stock launcher. 😒

Seems to be some google vs netflix thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Does "Now Playing" = "Watch Next"? For me, I only see Prime Video content.
[Android Apps and Games] HunterNet:
I don't understand the "missed the old option on old tv launchers pressing the left arrow can't push the apk icon for open the main apk on videos . One need go up and press the correct apk window."

1. - Pressing the icon (ok) the main app starts (now its like press the back button)

2. - Haystack on development way ok

3 ,- Gray icons , strange for me , i understand your response but i think that dont show for unknow permissions or something not discovered on the program;

Is there a reason why some apps disappeared from channels? In 4.24, Torrserve and NUM apps are available and work pretty well. But for some reason in 4.30 they're not available from channels menu.

I'm using an Xiaomi TV too. Everything was properly set up for the Projectivy Launcher in the Watch Next section but could not have Now Playing shown on the homescreen either though I could still hear the sound of the app (SmartTubeNext) playing in the background. I don't know what was the problem, perhaps no access permission given. I have no problem with other Amlogic Android TV boxes running custom ATV fw. Can @spocky12 give an insight?
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Configurable in Edit Categories.

Just set it to visible there. 🤔
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
I did it earlier. Everything set up on the Projectivy Launcher but nothing shown on the homescreen just the sound playing in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
On stock launcher you can configure your streaming services to show suggestions in the for you tab. Guess what, there is no netflix.

For me so far prime video, apple tv+ and twitch do add content to the watch next row. Disney+ content sometimes shows sometimes not. And Netflix has no support for googletv / androidtv integration at all... 🤷🏻‍♂️

No matter if using stock launcher or the watch next channel in projectivity, content is the same.

Its not the fault of this awesome launcher. 🙄

So this watch next is and was always kinda useless because of missing content for me.

Sadly... 😒
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Per default it shoul be added under the last row when something is playing in background. So try to press down until you reach the end of your launcher rows. 🤔
[Android Apps and Games] lvdoan:
Sadly, nothing shown on my Xiaomi TV. But no problem with several Amlogic android tv boxes of mine.

Using the launcher on nvidia shield tv. Added the On Now channel from Channels DVR app as a channel on the home screen. Now wanting to hide it again but toggeling its visability has no effect. I also tried to reorder it to the bottom of the screen but this just crashes the launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] johnnylavah:
Is there an ETA on when the updated version will hit the Play Store?
[Android Apps and Games] choppadeee:
Just out of curiosity what are you looking for in an update?

Apart from extra apps added to home screen it is quite solid.

Personally, I would like the option to change the sidebar icon colours instead of them being dynamic, for example have them all white or even change the icons. Or even better have the option to disable the side bar,

Maybe some parental controls to lock the layout of the icons on screen?

I would like widgets.. but not really a major thing.

I would like to be able to add device logo at the top like on wolf launcher

E.g fire TV, Google Xiaomi etc

I would also like to be able to hide the settings button at the top right with possibly just add a warning that removing it may cause issues.

*Edit for grammar spellings

@spocky12 is it possible to add a full screen background imbd type thing when you select a tile

I would really like to get involved in this project I don't code but have experience in reverse engineering and also lots of ideas that may help your development move forward
