Help with my new android TV - Android TV General

Hi,
I bought Haier Smart tv based on android for My room.
I have few questions:
1. I have inside the TV only 4GB, I connected SD card 64GB to the TV.
How can i use the SD as default memory for android system and apps ?
2. I want to use in Nova launcher as home launcher.
is it possible? How to do it?
I downloaded the app, but i got a problem..
When i am clicking on this white windows, this is refers me to HDMI 1 (My Cable Box) and if i use Nova launcher this is disappear.
is it possible to preserve it ? maybe from the default home launcher? (the one that come with the TV)
Or, I want to do something link Mini TV, is it possible to do a windows that show me live TV? from my Cable box in HDMI 1?
I want to change the home launcher, it not comfortable for me...
Please help me do it.
Thank you so much!

[HELP] Cursor/Mousepointer on NON-Rooted Shield TV Pro

Is this possible ? heard people have the touchpad on the controller to work on tablet and portable but not on det Shield TV.
I would LOVE to have this fixed when a whole lot of my sideloaded apps need it for touchinteractions.
Can't root the device since one of the main apps im running and want to keep running is Get TV (Norwegian TV Provider) and once rooted the app will not work, rootcloack ect can't hide it from the app, feel like i've tried everything.
Heard some had it working before the 1.1 update ? why did the support fall out after this and why wasn't it fixed ?

Sorry nvidia has said that it is not a supported function of android tv so it was removed in updates after 1.1 . Does not seem like they have any plans to add it back either. i installed the full android rom from zulu99 and use my jxd7800 as a controller and the touch screen as a mouse with droidmote.

Darn, was really hoping it would come back. But with full android, is it possible there to use the right stick as a "mouse" ?
Haven't tried unrooting a pre-rooted rom before but that might be a solution to my problem in that case, but will i then be able to nativly play games from the NvidiaHub/NvidiaGames + stream from my Gaming PC with a unrooted rom ?
Thanks for the reply ! Will keep on trying to find some good way to go about this, perhaps finding a bluetooth TV remote with mousefunctionality might work ?
I have set Logitech K400 (with unified receiver on a USB Hub) and with the app Logitech Keyboard Plus You can set whatever language You prefer in Android settings as the app adds an entry for the K400. You have to discard the Bluetooth request at the beginning.

It is that great yes. But you cant have a home screen like that, and since its Google TV play store, you have to sideload many apps that are common on normal Android boxes, ie. browser.
The only way to get a custom home screen, and normal Google Play store access is to root install a custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/rom-t3325771

Any way to get a Android TV like experience?

Currently it's kinda hard to navigate because it's not possible to type with joycons. Apps like YouTube are also impossible to use in docked mode. Does anyone already experimented a bit and got a better experience?
You could try to remote control your switch with your smartphone.
Something like DroidMote should work. I might try DroidMote myself but the Server app is paid and I don't really want to add my Google account to the switch (I am not using GAPPS on switch). Maybe buying it on my phone, backing up with Titanium Backup and restoring it on the switch will do the trick.
You *may* be able to get an android tv bluetooth remote and connect it. I have not tried.
Kodi can give you a great dashboard for an htpc setup with a custom theme. You can even have it auto launch when you boot into android so you never see the android interface just a nice tv setup. That's how I have my Android tv boxes. I use one of these style remotes as well for the keyboard:

You will want to use Android TV apps for landscape apps like youtube etc.
I use one of these when it's in docked mode. Just have the dongle plugged into the dock and you have an easy to use mouse and keyboard.

Try hal launcher and the leakback keyboard.
sorry for kidnapping your thread, but when you use docked mode, does it go to fullscreen? Mine stays with black bars up and down... would say that it's not outputting the correct resolution...
Just want to recommend airscreen so you can use it as a Chromecast.
Replace the default launcher with TV Launcher or HALauncher. Use a blue tooth or wireless keyboard until the soft keyboard get fix. The current Amazon Fire TV remote can be paired using blue tooth and works with this android build.
I think would be great if someone with more experience could port this solution https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByIKEmoQi-hpYXBpbV9Sb3JFeVk
It is way to convert Shield Tablet into Android TV Shield. I've found this pdf with guide and files in zips folder. It obviously doesn't flash because Lineage has different file structure, but maybe it doesn't require much tweaking. It would be great, because it comes with Chromecast support and there are plenty Android TV apps which require full Android TV structure.
The scripts itself seems compatable, the only thing that needs proper porting would be TV Gapps. If anyone can port these successfully let me know.
Think it shouldn't be to hard to transform the OS into a Android TV. Just don't have a Switch to play with it, but i really like the Idea... Think i will grab a Switch around Christmas and make it happen...
is it technically possible to implement framerate switching and widevine level 1 support for drm protected content playback in hd in the switch android port?
see my questions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ni...wers/to-change-tv-refreshrate-docked-t3992615
i'm really curious about that.
would be awesome to watch stuff with the proper refreshrate for smooth playback and the drm protected content in hd in docked mode

Permanently replace genuine FireTV launcher

Hi,
I've just bought an Amazon FireTV 4k Max (Fire TV Home Version) 6341067.1 running Fire OS 7.2.5.5 (PS7255/2444) and purchased and installed ATV Pro Launcher (0.1.5-pro) and I would like to be able to replace the genuine launcher by ATV Pro launcher in the sense (1)when FireTV boots, reboots or whatever ATV Pro launcher gets launched instead of the genuine launcher and (2) when i press the home button i would like FireTV to take me to ATV Pro launcher desktop instead of showing the genuine launcher desktop.
Does anyone knows if it's still possible? If I could do it through adb it would be nice.
I've been looking and trying different apps but it didn't seemed to work.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advanced!!
PD: I've tried FireTV Helper but it didn't work. I noticed it said accessibility service was disabled.

Finally I was able to fix it through Launcher Manager [1].

Novice in Miracast and similar apps, help please?

Hello,
Up till now I was using Windows 10's Desktop Projection to mirror screen to my TV.
- it works phenomenally and I'm happy
However, I have another TV which isn't a smart TV, so I bought an android TV Box.
- The Android Box has a preinstalled Miracast app
I want to know a way to use my regular desktop projection to connect to Miracast but that Miracast asks me to confirm a password or PIN that only I know?
- I do not wish to install another app to my PC
- I am okay with installing apps similar to Miracast on my Android TV Box
On the internet I found various applications like LetsView, Reflector 4, AirServer, Mirroring360, ApowerMirror, ScreenBeam Configurator app, Wi-Fi Direct Password-Protected Transmitter, AnyDesk, Chrome Remote Desktop, Microsoft Remote Desktop, Miracast Widget & Shortcut app, Miracast Screen Sharing App, Connectify Hotspot, but I fail to realize the potential of all these and which one to pick based on details and preferences (the less clutter, the better. I only need the password protection option).
Is there any app that I can only install to my Android Box and use regular Desktop Projection to connect to it, but that it asks me for a PIN that I have to enter on the device which I am using to connect to that Android Box (in this case laptop)?
If not, what is the closest alternative?
Anyone?
