[Shield Android TV General] bernarbernuli:
Hi, I have uploaded to the forum a tool that I think can be useful to the community. It does a lot of things in a simple way, for example, you can change the launcher in a couple of steps. My TV device is a Chromecast with Google TV, and I don't know how well it works on other TV devices like Shield Android TV. I am on vacation for a few days, so depending on what I hear from you, I will release a second version with corrections and improvements that you propose.

I share this tool for free, I just ask for feedback for whoever downloads and tries it.
