If you have been watching these forums your first post is identical to many others that were started by trollers. I don't get your logic and the reasoning behind it. You feel special because your browsing these forums on a phone on a slow dial up speed connection? So that means you can post and ask for help instead of search?

Maybe if you had posted around a couple times you wouldn't be seen as a troller. It is people like you that make developers want to stop helping those who indeed know how to search and use the search function.

In short, don't put yourself on that pedestal just because your too lazy to do the actual work.

[Android TV General] Nimx:
Hello everyone,

I've got a Smart TV with stock Android TV (v 11, can't disclose client , at the moment).

Is there any way to add a super minor customization to android tv ?

It's literally minor, it's adding an entry point for an App, which is not an App Icon Launcher, because they want it to look like integral part of the OS.

It could be anything like an Icon (next to the other system icons like settings, input, profile), or an Entry in system settings menu' , or something like that, to launch the Application.

It's so minor that redo all the work and get into AOSP is way too overkill, it would start a completely different project.

No, the client exclude the option to just have the App installed, they want the App as it was integral part of the Operating System.

I've read several documentations :

- Aosp : Way too many cons for such a small customization.

- Android Operator Tier with Custom Launcher : Could be viable to do a custom launcher, but the Smart TV is not eligible for operator tier (Not sold in leasing, do not sell any pay/linear channel, it's just a plain Smart TV)

- Custom Launcher on stock Android TV : Not viable, it would still be an Application with its launcher or would need some tricky configuration which wouldn't look like integral part of the OS at all.

- TIF (TV Input Framework) : Would just modify and recompile the TV App work ? I'm not sure if it is possible and how difficult it would be and if it is possible to "overwrite" just the TV System App on a Stock Android TV OS.

Do you have any suggestions how to achieve the desired "customization" without loosing all the built in supports/services that come with stock Android TV OS ? The simpler the better.

Thank you so much in advance!
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
from what you're explaining isn't a minor customization.

what you want is to customize the android tv launcher, however that launcher is an app just like everything else on the tvbox including your iptv app, youtube app, netflix app, etc...

so for your to achieve what you want, you'll need to have some dev knowledge, and you'll need to disassemble, modify and reassemble the launcher app + do whatever customization you need done.

it's not impossible, however it's not easy at all.

option2: you can hire a developer to develop your own tv launcher with whatever customization you want, probably won't be cheap, but will achieve exactly what you want.

option3: find an open-source tv launcher, use it, customize it as you like, you may or may-not need to hire a developer to do extra customizations, your cheapest, easiest, and quickest way to achieve what you're looking for. just google open source tv launcher, i'm sure you'll land on a few.

example:

[Android TV General] Nimx:
Hello!

Thanks so much for the answer, Don Mega.

Damn i hope there was an easier way to add an icon.

I see...

No need to hire a developer.

I'm a Senior android engineering and I got a skilled team but we never had to work on the android TV OS system itself tho ( we're specialized on mobile apps and iot solutions, not tvs).

Btw .. I could develop a custom launcher but it may take time and as I said as far as I've read on documentation, a custom launcher would still need AOSP if the manufacturer want to override the system one.

Doesn't it ?

I ask 'cause AOSP is too much of an effort (at least just for an icon!) and several manufacturer who started on aosp and various customizations are now abandoning it (I already worked on a STB for British telecom and yeah, i didn't work on their custom OS specifically but i know they changed their mind in the end).

Probably because once you go that route, you loose all the support and services out of the box, and you need to take care of too many things to keep it up to date.

So they usually prefer to stick to Android tv stock version (wise choice).

If that's the case I suppose the manufacturer will be better find a more standard way to launch their app 🤔
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
no need for flashing a different OS or Custom Rom to be able to install a custom developed app.

so if you make your own apk, all you need to do on the existing tvbox, enable unknown sources, to be able to install your own apk on there, it should be pretty straight forward.

put the apk on a usb stick, plug it into your box and navigate to any file manager app, you'll be able to find your apk, click on it and install, on your remote control press the HOME button, it should popup a msg asking which launcher you want to load, since now you developed your own launcher and the old launcher is still there, choose which launcher you want to be default. you can always go into settings > apps and disable the old launcher so if anyone presses the HOME button again, it always defaults to the new one you developed.

so short answer, no you don't need AOSP or any type of Custom Rom
[Android TV General] Nimx:
The manufacturer obviously don't want users to do this procedure to choose the new launcher, but should be able to persistently active it overriding the system one. And that's why I thought custom ROM was needed.

If that's not true then your solution is the perfect one ♥️
[Android TV General] Nimx:
Just to keep you updated.

Custom launcher need user to set the new one.

But we found a possible solution without the burden to do a custom Rom.

Adding a new Ad-Hoc button on the Remote controller to launch their ecosystem settings app and/or a custom launcher (since this Smart Tv is a new model that will initially be delivered to several europe countries).

In this way it will look quite integrated in the android tv system, and the android TV OS will be always kept up to date from regular google updates, without all the issues plaguing custom roms like it does for other manufacturers.

Thank for your help :)
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
sometimes i wish i was a developer, glad you found an easy solution.

thank you
[Android TV General] Nimx:
It's still quite easy to become a developer due to high demand.

Not sure how old are you but I started when I was 34 yo by myself with no prior experience.

Nowadays, 5 years later, I Interview many candidates and I can tell the discriminating factor is not prior studies but dedication, high IQ (logic and abstraction wise) and learning speed.

Good luck if you'll ever decide to get into it 🙂
[Android TV General] donmega_icecube:
i'm 44 :) i have no patience for programming in general, I never did, I'm a full time network admin, and really into hardware a lot more than software.

but when it came to Android, i got my hands dirty flashing custom roms on all my phones. i started to customize my own roms for tv boxes.

but I kinda wish I did have some android dev skills, it's the only thing i end up outsourcing when needed.

thank you :)

Hey people,

I've been browsing through the forums and im 100% sure there is a post about it, but I cant find it...

How do you "cook" an application into your rom, so that after a hard reset it still is present?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kyphur:
Search for making OEM Packages. That's the cleanest way to do it. The instruction for any of the Rom Kitchens (Hermes is where it first appeared I think) will work.

I did the same thing using the recommended Weather Database Editor, but new weather info wouldn't post.

Please advise.
[General Topics] brunokutta:

Is there anything extra to be done??
[General Topics] drjim:
follow-up on weather

Yes, I get the new cities in my list. I didn't know there was a "first" and second step. I just changed the city code using this template: NAM|US\CA\GREENBRAE (where I live) in Weather Editor.

I don't know anything about editing as you indicate. Can you clarify? Where do I do this edit and how?

Maybe we can figure this out together.

I have the same issue with my city. The weather app sends a requests to an international version of the accuweather.com website. If that site supports your city you can get weather info for your city. I have not yet been able to get the weather app working. Hope some of the senior members on this site are able to help you.

[General Topics] Imyman:
Take a look at my thread on the elf forum. There's a detailed break down of steps involved. It should lead you in the right direction. The instructions are for adding a city in Kazakhstan.....make sure you get the corresponding code for your city from the accu weather website. And you should be good to go.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=451001
[General Topics] drjim:
good info, but more questions

I will try your method for changing and see how it works.

What if I want to add several new cities. Please explain.

Thanks.
[General Topics] Imyman:
You can add as many cities as you want provided it shows up on the accuweather website. You need to code for every city which you will find from the website. You pick this up from the url once you have navigated to the page that shows the forceast for that city. Ex:

http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&loccode=EUR|SE|SW015|STOCKHOLM

That's the code for Stockholm, Sweden. Likewise, pull up the code of the city you'd like to add and enter it into the HH_0409_Weathercities.xml file along with the other info. Make sue you leave all the other lines of code intact while doing so.
[General Topics] brunokutta:
drjim : Is the problem solved now? I was able to finally get the additional cities working. Thanks to N2A' s post.

But the method i followed was somewhat different. I was not able to locate the "HTCHome.dll" file in \Windows in my HTC Touch Viva. Therefore as mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2780103, i had to edit

the Manila2D.exe file from the \Windows and along with the update of HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml i was finally

able to get weather updates for my city.

This forum is great!!

"Factory Unlocked Phones are not made for a specific carrier thus are unlocked out the factory. These phones can be used on ANY GSM carrier as long as the phone carriers the band widths that carrier supports."

In simple words yes It should work with no problems. However It depends on band widths your carrier supports.

About software updates you will receive everything. Don't worry

You may have to change the CSC to India for everything to work nicely.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wr3cckl3ss1:
Impossible...as the firmware only carries CSCs of the US. U and U1....

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, You will get update when curruntly set CSC gets update. (You can check from Settings - about phone - Software Info)

Though If your device is S918U/U1 may some network features won't work expected, specifically Jio.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jason.antao:
Now the sim is working fine. Only thing i want to change csc
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Getting updates should not be a problem. Some things may not work unless you change the CSC.

My phone from another region was not reading the SIM card. Once I changed the CSC, it did.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Not sure about now, but few years back I changed the CSC of my device to make it detect the SIM card. It wasn't from the USA though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] wr3cckl3ss1:
The option you're referring to is now housed in Preconfig.

MPS CODE.

Enable it....to prevent your CSC from changing over when you put in any sim card. Disable it and it will always change.

Last year Google announced it was retiring the Reminders app and instead transitioning everything to Google Tasks. Back in Feb 2023, Google provided an update that the transition would start on March 6, 2023 with the rollout taking place over the following 15 days. This transition would allow users to create tasks in Google Tasks using voice commands to Google Assistant.

It's now been a couple of months and I'm still not able to create tasks using the Google Assistant. When I say, for example: "Hey Google, create a task to call mom on Tuesday" I get the response "I can't do that yet".

Is this working for anyone else?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mahler47:
It looks like a server-side switch just turned on.

I was just able to tell Google Assistant "Remind me to buy milk" and it created a task in Google Tasks! Finally!!

I've been testing this periodically since March and it was still using Google Reminders. I don't know what triggered the change, though.

It doesn't seem any different from the global or eu firmware.

I use to run custom roms years ago. But these days, from what I have been seeing, the phones work best with the firmware that matches the phone model for best operation and hassle free.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Zeus0fyork:

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
You don't download TMOA UPDATES, and trying to catch the update before rebooting is difficult.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Masterchief87:
That's not something I know how to do, but if you msm back to stock then go through all the updates it should be available.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Masterchief87:
Well the consensus seemed to be that the full ota to A13 on the global and EU firmwares fixed the network issues as long as you didn't take any initial OTAs after the initial update to A13. That wasn't the case for me though.

I used to use custom roms a lot too back 5-10 years ago but now it seems everything I used to know is obsolete.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] weissco:
I MSM'd back to 11 and took the OTA to get to A13. It's working nicely. No more battery drain or 5G issues (losing connection, slow to connect after reboot).

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Masterchief87:
I don't know anything about using the msm tool to pull partition images from the phone, but here's the way I do know.

1. Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked

2. "fastboot getvar all" or "fastboot getvar current-slot" to see which slot is active

3. "fastboot boot name_of_twrp_recovery.img" to boot twrp recovery

3. run the "adb shell" command or launch the terminal emulator in the advanced section of twrp recovery

4. Once you've launched adb shell or the terminal run the "su" command to get root permissions

5. Use the command "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a.img of=/SD card/boot_a.img" if slot a is active, or "dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_b.img of=/SD card/boot_b.img" if slot b is the active slot

After a few seconds you'll have a copy of the boot image in the root of your internal storage.

Alternatively, you could just flash the latest magisk apk through twrp, but as I understand it this method is not recommended anymore, and I don't think you'd have an unaltered copy of the boot image this way.

Anyhow, I think it's something that would be fixed with a factory reset. I just don't care to go through the hassle of restoring all my calls and messages and signing back into all my apps.
