The second icon on the button bar at the bottom is for dimming, your phone might have defaulted to the dimmed function!

Doesn't work for me either. I thought it had something to do with me not having Connected Media installed. But I downloaded and installed it now. Even though it works, HTC watch still does nothing. And the slideshow seems buggy as well for me. Doesn't matter what picture folder I choose, it always plays "all photos".

why would one pay for something that HTC is offering for free? the HTC solution also looks better even tho its a bit buggy.

For the dimming issue i found this as the solution. If you are on automatic but you non automatic setting is low, it will be dim. Switch off auto, choose medium then back to auto and all is well. This is in your phone settings, not in the dock settings.

works great on LG Quantum, although the Dim does nothing as expected.

The free trial is fully functional. The app has several themes one of which is the Zune theme that looks far better than the htc hub. I agree though that taste is subjective which is why I concluded my post with IMO

Here a few apps that aren't really advertised that might be of use or interesting to some people.
LG Cloud seems to be LG's version of iCloud and can sync between your phone, PC and other compatible devices. If you sign up they are giving 50gb backup storage too.

Its a direct reliable mirror and not all phones will have them in the market due to regional and device differences. If you want to search elsewhere and download them go for it.

awesome! Is there any app from LG that works like All share from Samsung? What's the best way to mirror your screen to an HDTV over wifi?
**EDIT**
I found online the Dual Share Dual Play with LG Smart Share, but is there anyway to do this without a LG smart TV? Like use my PC and monitor? Or a Samsung or Insignia TV?

As far as I know, the Smartshare app that should have come stock on the OG (on the AT&T one anyways) should work with with any DNLA certified device. Just used it last night to stream a movie from my phone to a Samsung Bluray player.
Not sure if that is what you wanted.

SwipePad - edge launcher!

Just a quick shout-out for this app. I was looking for something to replace the usefulness of the Note Edge application shortcuts, and came across SwipePad. It's pretty darn good for swiping in from an edge on the S6 Edge and launching apps from anywhere. I guess this would work on any phone, but feels so natural swiping over the curve to get this. Loving it!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android&hl=en
PS I'm not affiliated to the app, in case you're thinking that..

Thanks bud

Thanks mate, works really well, can't figure out how to take a screenshots of the launcher though

It's the very bottom option under "look and feel" when you select the notification. If you turn off the notification completely, swipe pad will fall out of memory and you'll have to manually start it sometimes. I just choose hide. Never leaves memory and i don't have the ugly icon

Thanks, nice!

i love this one. i put all my frequent contacts in it. marvelous

Hello
I use this app since Years and bought some addons. I couldn't imagine to live without. Now, this app disappeared from the store. Is it end of life? My app is running fine. I just wonder what is the reason for.

Hello XtraWater,
I have used this app since my SGS2. Sadly, I wiped my phone and as you said, Swipepad cannot be found in the play store anymore. I downloaded an APK from a third party site, which works (I'm rooted). But I am unsure how to get the addons to work after installing them from the third party site :-/
I purchased the morespaces add-on previously and that is not in Google Play anymore as well.

Hello
Swipepad started to behave weird. It needed an update... So I gave up. I guess I still have the backup from the more space add-on. I made the backup with titanium backup.
However, in the meanwhile I switched to xposed edge. The app is nice. Plenty of features. The responsiveness although is not perfect. There is sometimes a delay of a second or two. I don't know if there is a way to prioritize the app. I am on Resurrection remix.

Thanks, I'll try out edge since I have Xposed as well. I was looking for Swipepad alternatives today actually, but the results are all dated since this app is so old.
In the meantime, I'm attempting to make the Swipepad add-ons system apps based on a suggestion from this thread. My TI backup was wiped along with the rest of my phone. I may have a copy on my desktop when I get home. If not, can you send me a TI copy of yours?

Sure, let me know when you need the backup.
That edge app is actually very easy to use. Nevertheless, it took a while till I figured it out. At the beginning it's a bit counterintuitive.

NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0?

Has anyone yet figured out how to either find or port the "NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0" x86 APK to an ARM APK? We have waited over a year for a new version, yet its only for x86. It is disturbing that this new YouTube version is not available on the SHIELD TV almost immediately.
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-tvs-youtube-app-gets-a-refreshed-ui-with-latest-update

You've waited a year, you can wait some more. APKmirror is probably the place where it will show up first.

Yeah lets hope so. And no I didn't wait a year. I flashed Full Android on mine so I wouldn't have to wait for newer YouTube versions any more. It was the only reason I went to FULL Android because the Youtube for Android TV was really showing its age and crashing all the time. You pay a premium for a premium device, so you should expect a premium experience in return. Otherwise they are not doing their jobs.

What's interesting is that this youtube 2.0 UI is exactly how youtube looks like on my old and loud Xbox360!!

Yeah some say it looks like the HTML Smart TV version below. I'm not so sure until I actually see it on my SHIELD TV.
https://www.youtube.com/tv

So it can't be ported to arm format?

I have this new format on my Smart TV, and it may well do away with that crappy Red Bar that pops up when you try to pause on something. But that said, the new Layout sucks donky balls. And Google can take their sweet gentels with porting it to the Shield.
Though I have to say (Even given the decentralized nature), of my Smart TV), I'm kinda shocked the OEM has even botherd. Considering the TV was sold in 2015. And, picked up about a year ago on clearance. But it was hard to say no to a 50" 3D 4k LED set. Even if the Smart TV bits of it tended to also suck.

Good question. Maybe it is exclusive to the Nexus Player. Or they are just testing it on the NP before releasing it to 3rd party devices. Who knows? Without an official statement of what's going on we can only speculate. I guess Android TV must not be very big or as important of a platform to warrant updates.

Someone was looking at this threat actually was looking for some tutorial in how to port it, but google has done the work for us, we should thank them

Yeah they were working on it all along but released the x86 version first for some reason. Maybe the arm versions had a must fix first before release bug?

Really I don't like very much this new version, I don't know about you, but the app crashes when you try to type anything on video search.

No crash for me
But option to change quality video is gone:crying:

The user reviews are in the toilet as well. I'm no longer in a hurry to try it. However I can't get last year's YouTube version to not crash either. It's easily the #1 most unstable app I use by far.
Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk

I updated it and hated it and immediately rolled back to the old one. My problem is I got 2 Youtube accounts associated with my Google account. My primary account I created about 10 years ago with all my subscriptions and the G+ one it forced me to create a few years back, which I don't use.
Under the old app, it allowed me to select the account I wanted to use:

Under the new account, it won't allow me to select the account I want, and only shows the G+ account saying my other account isn't available.

I downloaded and installed it and I hated it as well... There's no rolling text on the thumbnails so you have to open each video just to read the full title... no comments as well, no add to watch later no anything good... rolling back to the old version as this one sux.

New app is ugly and slow (everything seems to require more clicks to get there).
Besides the ability to select resolution being removed, many Sony TVs lost the ability to play 4k (they locked it to a max of 1440p).
This version is going to need some work.

Do we really believe Google will be working on it??? :/
Yeah, and not only that, when I updated to the new Youtube app it used my "original" Youtube account before Google bought them out. So hundreds of my subscriptions and all my proper recommendations were missing and I couldn't recognize my own Youtube channel. It was like starting all over again on Youtube from scratch. And worse still, it wouldn't even offer me the ONLY account I ever use, yes the same one I have been using every day since Google bought Youtube, it was completely missing as an account option.
So I was forced to reset back to the original Youtube app and it immediately offered me and connected to the proper account. Is it really this hard for a multi Billion dollar corporation such as Google to code these apps?

I sort of meant someone HERE might take a look under the hood.

Question Android TV app weirdness or glitch

Hi everyone.
I'm faced with difficulties when I run Android TV remote control app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote) on my P6Pro. It appeared to behave like an obsolete app abandoned by its developer - it never opens fullscreen.

I really don't care about that and could live with it as the app works like it should until I leave it foreground and turn off the screen. As soon as I turn my screen back on my phone hangs up and there is no possibility to get to home screen or go back. It happens from time to time, not every time I use it. Power button just turns the screen on/off and my only option is to press power+volume up buttons to reboot the phone.
I remember I was able to adjust full screen behavior for my apps in the previous versions of Android somewhere in settings. Now that option has gone in A12.
Any ideas?

I don't have an Android TV, but I just wanted to let you know your link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote doesn't work for me.

Weird. Google must have it blocked unless you actually own one. On both the phone (Wi-Fi and Mobile Data) and the computer the link doesn't work and I can't find that app listed when I search for it by name.
Anyway, I know it's not relevant (I guess), just weird.

Another glitch? Unfortunately not the last one.

BTW, I just tried to open that link in chrome incognito mode
What's going on, Google? Is the app account-specific? Is it not available for everybody?

I just realized what the problem is. The app is really abandoned and it's obvious from my 2nd screen.
"Last updated April 4, 2017"
The reason I like it is an ability to enter login/pass details on my Android TV using my phone screen. This is the feature I was envious of iPhone users for its native integration into Apple TV.
Ok, RIP.
My only options are to get used to manual reboots or Force Stop the app after each use.

My understanding is that "Android TV Remote" is actually obsolete, and its functionality has been incorporated into "Google Home": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app

The standalone Android TV Remote app has been decommissioned by Google. The functionality has been moved to the Google Home app and is available as a Quick Settings tile

Not a glitch. Stop spreading misinformation. This is a perfect example of why half the complaints on this forum are bogus.

It is a frustrating change though in the very least, because who needs all the bloat of "home" when all you want is a remote control?
Anyway, I just ordered a couple of ADT-3's, which is the "developer" version of ccgtv. I'm tired of being locked out, and I don't give a flying f*** about netturds. Years ago I wrote a remote service for nexus player, which shouldn't be too hard to adapt to ADT-3.

Well, from Google's perspective, it is logical to have it as part of the Google Home app. Android TV/Chromecast is part of the Google Home (devices) ecosystem.
That being said, if you don't want to use the Google Home app, there is an alternative

Thanks, I know there are several alternatives by other developers but I always do my best to go google Just figured out how to enable Open Remote button in Google Home app at 3 different android tv boxes I own - Shield Pro, Onn TV and Dynalink TV. I had to manually update Android TV Remote Service to v.5.
Now I've got almost the same features, at least I can still enter text remotely on my phone.
