Feature request: Improved integration with Play Next channel. I use it regularly to bookmark long Youtube videos for viewing at a later time. I use Smarttube and not the stock Youtube app.

For example, I have Smarttube Subscriptions and Recommended channels active on the home screen. With the stock launcher, long press on any video gives an 'Add to Play Next' option, and long press on any video already in Play Next gives a 'Remove from Play Next' option. These options are not available in Projectivy.

My workaround in the meantime was to hide Play Next from Channels and create a new Play Later category. Similar functionality but a bit clunky and a couple of extra steps needed compared to the stock launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
dude the dev is one guy and cant make every features from the stock.....

people dream big and should respect the dev more
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Well, I'd love to support most of the stock launcher features, but it's sometimes impossible :

- cleartext not allowed on play store : this prevents channels from displaying thumbs hosted on http (Google allows it's stock launcher to access everything on cleartext)

- in the request above, I haven't found how to add a program (obviously not owned by my app) to "watch next". There seems to be a permission issue. Once again, Google adds system permission to the stock launcher, so it can do much more than 3rd party apps

- CEC requires system-only permission
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
It's not something that can be done

Unfortunately in the new version 4.34 they did not fix the channels in the Vokino application

Hi. Is there any way to fix the Battery indicator for Nebula Capsule 3?
[Android Apps and Games] Thegreatcow:
Almost perfection! Thank you for developing this great launcher.

Feature requests:

1: Able to make/summon a shortcut within the Projectivity Launcher and/or long press a app to replace it with a shortcut

2: Background music

3: Widgets ( that doesn't get highlighted via remote as an option)

4: Folders within a category

5: The biggest feature needed is the ability to change the icon pictures ( a lot of icons are very low quality or missing )
[Android Apps and Games] Fivestarov:
everything is fine, thanks to the developer. I would like to have more convenient control and management of notifications. Now you have to go into a special menu to manage \ remove the notification. Too many actions. It would be better to manage it right from the launcher screen as it is done in android tv. Of the side shortcuts that are in front of the cards, I would like to immediately open the application by pressing, and not by long pressing.
[Android Apps and Games] PuckBass:
please none of those !

i dont get people wanting to make this more clunky that the stock. widget format and design doesnt fit with the launcher style at all ! different era of android design would break everything.......

background music .... WHY JUST WHY! there absolutely ZERO reason for wanting this .... sometimes i wonder who write these comments has to be a troll like on reddit or something
[Android Apps and Games] Sarikazzz:
I agree but one thing i would like to see in this launcher. Weather widget/line by wifi icon on home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Thegreatcow:
Take it easy, everyone has different requests, If you don't want to use it, just leave it disabled
[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
Agreed. The developer has created a great product so let's trust his judgement. Let's ignore the immature fools who slam others ideas.

How about maybe we talk about today's update to 4.35?

I really like this launcher, I paid for premium.

But now I notice annoying issue, while using it, any time while it is opened, all my remote control buttons become sticky.

So when I scroll default android menu and release the button, it stays pressed for a longer time than using any other launcher.

Is there some option that I can disable to make it stop delaying input clicks?

Also input freezes time to time, for a 3 seconds, and than repeat everything expected to press at time.
[Android Apps and Games] Garageflower82:
Love this launcher. Great work!

Although I am having an issue. I can't seem to change the title of categories.

When I click on the title section to edit the text, the on-screen keyboard doesn't appear. When I use my Bluetooth keyboard, I can edit the text, but there is no way to confirm.

I'm using the Nvidia Shield Pro.

please help :)
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
Works fine on my shield using default gboard on screen keyboard. Please check your shield keyboard settings. 🤔

Also it may not appear if physical keybords or shield remote app is connected.

[Android Apps and Games] Thegreatcow:
I found a bug. If you hide shortcuts from the menu it will disappear completely from the home screen as an option if you close or reboot the device. Only way to fix is to restore the launcher to factory via settings.

Adding a new shortcut won't make it appear again.
[Android Apps and Games] ClearlyNotAware:
Launched this Launcher on my new TV two days back. Gave it all the permission it asked.

Noticed one bug:

In stock launcher, when I press and hold the volume up or down button, volume keeps on continuously increasing or decreasing. For example, if I've to lower TV volume from 50 to 42, I'll just hold the volume down button until volume reaches to 42.

But in this launcher, this doesn't work. I've to press volume up or down button again and again to increase or decrease the volume by one units. For example if I've to lower TV volume from 50 to 42, I'll have to press volume down button 7 times.

I hope I'm able to explain this bug.

Please fix it, if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] rb1213:
when I click the input popop app, the launcher says it can't find the application, who can tell me what application is used on a Xiaomi TV
[Android Apps and Games] GodfleshNL:
I wanted to say thanks for this great launcher! I used it for a couple of days now and bought the premium version to show some support for the hard work of the developer who made this possible.

I have two things I would like to see added in the future:

1. Being able to add a directory with wallpapers so can it alternate between several wallpapers every 45sec or something or userdefined time.

2. Add an option to change the colors of the icons in the menu and pick a color you like or fits better with your wallpaper.

Anyways...great work on this launcher and thanks again for making it.

Are you using a Amazon fire tv device? I used to get that glitch a lot on my 2nd gen cube, not with Projectivy Launcher, the device just suffered from that glitch, but since I've been on an Android TV box its smooth as silk and that doesn't happen. It definitely doesn't happen to me with Projectivy Launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] tldspectre22:
I recently installed Projectiv Launcher on my onn. Google TV 4K Streaming Box and am enjoying it for the most part. I do have one issue using the Emby app for playing movies and TV shows. The app itself works fine - the issue I'm having has to do with movies/shows listed on the home screen that are associated with Emby. When I try to play these, it always asks for my Emby Connect password. If I launch the app itself, everything works fine (no password needed after the initial app setup). Is there a fix for this so that the password isn't needed every time I try to play a movie direct from the home screen?
[Android Apps and Games] elusive-one:
I’ve been away from this launcher for a while. I installed version 4.35 from GitHub on my Fire TV Cube. Love the launcher. However, the “play next”/“continue watching” section is missing. Is there a way to enable it, or should I go back to an older version?

I'm running this great launcher on a Xiaomi Q1 TV with 1. 5GB ram .

I disabled all channels to free memory and disabled some apps on the TV

I also changed via developer menu the background tasks limit to 2

but still sometimes I run out of ram and Netflix stutters

does anyone know a good task killer app that runs on android TV ?
[Android Apps and Games] Danpergal84:
Don't hesitate, it works perfectly on a Firetv 4k Max.
[Android Apps and Games] OzKenny83:
OMG this app is seriously the best thing since sliced bread; in fact I think it's even better than that!

There are three main features that I've been looking for in a non-Google launcher since I bought my Sony X90K a few days ago. These are:

No more annoying ads or "personalised content" (just another term for ads really),

The ability to launch my sideloaded mobile apps straight from the home screen, and

The ability to re-order the app cards within any given category.

You have provided all of these, along with a plethora of other cool and interesting features that I look forward to exploring over the next few days. Thank you so, so much for all your hard work and brilliance!

The only thing missing IMHO is the ability to add custom categories...I'd especially like to have all my streaming apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc.) in their own separate row to make finding and selecting them much easier.

Even without that though, this is still the single-best Android TV launcher available as far as I've seen. I'd gladly pay for the full version if I could actually find it...the Play Store will only offer to update the version that I installed from here 🤔
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
Νο, it isn't missing. You can create as many custom categories as you like and move or copy every app there. I have done exactly what you ask. I don't know if it is a paid option and you have the free version or you haven't find how to do it, but it can be done.
[Android Apps and Games] OzKenny83:
Oh that's awesome news! Could you tell me how you did it please?
[Android Apps and Games] brackenhill_mob:
It's in the Projectivy settings from memory - did it so long ago I might be wrong ;)
[Android Apps and Games] OzKenny83:
I had already been through the settings before posting here, and just went through them again to make sure. There is nothing about "custom categories" anywhere.

There is a "Categories" section in the settings, but the only options there are "Show left headers on launch", "Show categories title", "Show app names", "Unselected rows opacity" and "Top margin (in screen height %)".

What am I missing?

EDIT: Although it's not quite a fully customizable way of creating your own categories, I have just noticed that long-pressing on an app tile gives you the option to move it in the context menu. And selecting that option presents the previously-empty-and-therefore-hidden "Favourites" and "Video" categories.

Adding my streaming apps to "Videos" and some extra tiles to "Favourites" now has me 100% happy with my new launcher interface :D

@spocky12 I really want to show my gratitude by paying for the premium version, even though I will probably never use any of its features. Where can I get it from? As I mentioned previously, it doesn't appear to be in the Google Play Store anymore...

EDIT 2: OMG I feel like such a noob, I just found the settings where you can edit the categories. One question though: why are the "Edit categories" and "Edit channels" options only displayed under the cog at the very top? All this time I've been looking at the settings from their tile *below* the categories, hence my confusion and assumption that editing categories wasn't possible!
[Android Apps and Games] brackenhill_mob:
Don't sweat it - we've all been there ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sosimple:
I was about to post how to edit categories as im home, but i see you found it..

:)

It's an amazing launcher. It needs some work as the one above that all settings aren't in one place but anyway, after you find it the 1s time, it stops to be a problem.

I had posted a video a few pages above, which you could see a custom category i had there:

I have installed the launcher to Nvidia shield which i bought recently. Everything works great there also.
[Android Apps and Games] OLO31:
Hello on my Z11 the input entry of the settings is greyed. I have some buttons on my remote controls which are set to switch to hdmi1 2 or 3. I want to disable this behavior. Is there a way ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Thegreatcow:
@spocky12 Is it possible to release a Hotfix for the shortcuts not showing up ? I posted about it and you closed/ fixed it on GitHub

I have maybe about 200 or so apps setup and would hate to have to restore to factory to get it back temporary.

Thank you so much

Hi i liked the launcher. Possible in new update to allow users to randomly assign wallpaper to a folder on our android device. Rather than just allow us to choose one picture at a time? I have aubsribed to Premium. Tks
[Android Apps and Games] Tanizhq:
Hey, I am having a bit of a weird issue, searched all of this thread and the other one and didn't find anything like it.

I am using a Fengmi T1 with the ProjectIvy Launcher version 4.24.

I also upgraded FengOS to version 3.0.0.3049 before installing ProjectIvy.

The issue is that when I select the inputs from ProjectIvy, regardless if its HDMI 1 or 2 or autostart to either. I then press the Burger button on my romote (the 3 horizontal lines) which should normally bring up some projector settings like selecting Brightness, image, Sound mode etc. Also allows you to Select HDMI version.

But instead it brings up the Mediatek settings, which I would rather not mess with normally.

But if I press the "Input Source selector" option to bring up the FengOS input selector, and then press the Burger button, it brings up the correct settings, not the Mediatek ones.

Not sure if it can be fixed, but not sure why it would be different depending on where you select the input from.

Would also be cool if I could just select the "Input Source" as the Autostart option, basically autostarting to the FengOS input selector. But it wont let me set it as that.

Any help is appreciated.

Since last night (I think), the Reddit wallpaper options don't seem to be working. I am just getting the default app wallpaper. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm assuming it's some Reddit nonsense.
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
Just came home and discovered the same issue, reddit wallpapers not working, just default wallpaper
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
I just downloaded one to use in the meantime... Option popped up to set as Projectivity wallpaper right from my file explorer, wasn't expecting that, so nice
[Android Apps and Games] alt130:
Same! I actually had trouble trying to pick one within the app, bit was able to "share to" from my file explorer.

I do like the random variety though. Glad to know it's not just me, at least.
[Android Apps and Games] frodo 19:
My TCL c825 tv has similar issue. When the launcher active, the volume up or down count not 1 but two step. So volume 18 and hit 1 up, go to 20. Or hit 1 down go to 16.
[Android Apps and Games] StreamRoyale:
Hey I have a couple of devices on my Google Play account if I pay for premium does it make my devices all able to use it
[Android Apps and Games] frodo 19:
Ok, I figured it. No need use Accessibility sevice, cos that made the button issues, I just used launcher manager apk, to make it run. Now works as need, after reboot too.
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
I did it from my file explorer first, and same for me when i tried from within the app it said "no application can handle this action", but I didn't care cause I can do it straight from solid explorer

[Android Apps and Games] jhedfors:
I can confirm that the backgrounds are broken for me as well (CCwGTV and Hisense GTV).
[Android Apps and Games] Spliffman1:
Yes a few of us have noticed and commented that the random reddit backgrounds aren't working right now, but if you have premium you can change from the default by putting wallpapers into your storage and selecting from there. I downloaded a few nice 4k ones and just switch between them every so often for now lol
[Android Apps and Games] tstack77:
I really like this launcher! The parental controls are so simple and effective! A feature I'd love to see (since the reddit backgrounds are down) is to have a folder of user pics that cycle every x minutes/each boot/etc/whatever, instead of only being able to select a single user wallpaper.

I'm super happy I stumbled onto this launcher, don't understand why it's not on any top10 launcher lists for Android tv!?
[Android Apps and Games] choppadeee:
Please add custom icon support soon, I'm having a hard time linking my own it takes aaages. 😂

That's all I need for the perfect launcher.

Maybe ask @SweenWolf for some info as his wolf launcher has amazing customisation options.

Sorry for mytherying you, I know it's just a hobby.

I respect and appreciate your hard work. 😊

When I tried to install it it say The Package conflict with an existing package by the same name. Is it possible to have a different name on the Launcher So I can get it installed?

It does have Google Play store but I think it recognize the projector as a mobile devices not a TV, so can't get it over Google Play(Straight up says not supported).

Aww thank you. Am I just blind or is this not anywhere in the original post (or 2 or 3 after)? Very possible (and likely) I missed it though. But thank you kind sir

Also why does the changelog on here go to 4.24 only? Is it because its the playstore version? Just odd to me not to have up to date info. Thanks

Hey guys, I just Update the launcher via Google play to the latest Version.

Im using the Xiaomi Mi 4K Laser Projector

I love the launcher, but I found 2 bugs/issues:

1. If I press the Power Button on my remote, normally the Power menu appears with 4 different options (shut down, restart, screen off,...). But now, after pressing the power button the screen goes off....but the projector is still running. I can wake the screen up by pressing power again. But I can't turn my projector off...only if I pull the cable... Very annoying.

2. When I change the volume I can't see what value I am at the moment, the speaker pop-up doesn't show up....but the volume changes.
