FTVLaunchX 1.0.0 – a simple helper application to allow custom launchers - Shield Android TV General

I found this in the Fire tv section but it works great for the Shield too. Just another option for people to change launchers.
Just install the FTVLaunchX 1.0.0 apk
Open the app and choose your launcher you want.
Reboot and after a reboot it takes about 10 seconds for it to change to your new launcher. The person who made the app says he is going to try to get it to change quicker on boot.
It is inspired by the famous LauncherHijack of @BaronKiko and tries to overcome several issues relating to it:
- Reliably intercepts any & all presses of the home button
- Starts the selected launcher on boot
- Starts the selected launcher when waking up from sleep
- Fixes the ominous missing-cursor bug in Silk
- etc.
FTVLaunchX needs the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to enable an accessibility service on your Fire TV device.
If you know what you are doing then simply grant this permission by executing the following command in an ADB shell on your device:
$ pm grant de.codefaktor.ftvlaunchx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX/releases/download/v1.0.0/FTVLaunchX-1.0.0.apk
Thanks go to @TheRealQubix and @BaronKiko

Thanks for posting!
A development version with a higher boot priority can be found at the original thread
Oh, and could you tell me which Android version is running on your shield? 7.x?

Ok, so this will be in the next official release too then

I'm unclear on the purpose of this. On the shield you can change your launcher and the home button takes you right to it, and it appears on boot. Is this for non-TV designed launchers?

This is for the current hotfix for the 2019 models.
Q. The ability to set an alternative default launcher is a feature a lot of users want and did have until this hotfix! Can the ability to change default launcher be re-implemented?
A. No, unfortunately not.
Q. Is that with this hotfix or is this something we won’t be able to do from here on out?
A. From here on out. In order for us to pass Google certification and release images, this rule must be followed.
Q. Not even when the final 8.1.1 image is released?
A. Not even the final production image. It's even more important for the final 8.1.1 image. Full production images need Google certification, past hotfixes did not need google certification but Disney+ will only install on Google certified images so even HotFix images that have Disney+ install support need it now.
A. It applies to all future SHIELD experience updates for all models.

So eventually it will happen to all models in a future update.

I wish I knew this. Bought the new Shield tv pro and changed the default launcher in TV launcher. Set it on default. But now I can't find the option to go back to the android launcher. Need some help with this one.

I have also tried "disable" instead of "enable" and now I can see Disabled apps/Android TV Home.
Android TV Home is now set default but if I want to get back. Tvlauncher will start but I don't know how to set it default. And to toggle between the launchers.

Nexus like navigation panel?

Is it possible to change Hero Sense navigation panel ( the one which is in the bottom, like semicircle ) to one that Nexus has? Or even android standard one?
You can change to android stanard very very easy without doing any modification of your phone.
Go to your apps list and select "htc sense" or "touch flow" whichever is what you see and then click "clear defaults"
Then press the home button.
At this point it should give you an option to go home with either "home" or "touchflow" click home and you have default android. But will not have any of the htc specific stuff e.g. widgets.
You can always revert back by clearing defaults in "home" in app screen (assuming you set it as your new default)

Yes it's possible to add the Nexus One style launcher. However, I believe it'll only work with 2.X roms.

Download LAUNCHER2.APK
Then:
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk system/app
Voila!
If it doesn't work, rename it to Launcher, and it'll just wipe it over the top.
If you have any problems, let me know and I'll sign it as an update.zip for you.
BE WARNED THOUGH: Due to the demanding graphics, although it strangely runs MORE smoothly than the stock Android 2.1 launcher, it can on occasions cause your phone to SOFT reboot.

[MOD][ROOT][ICS]Hide Status Bar (updated 11.02.)

How to hide the combined Status Bar on ICS (root required!)​
I think many ppl are searching for a solution to hide the status bar on ICS, since the Hacks from Honeycomb doesnt work on ICS.

- a rooted Xoom
- attached ZIP file (all credits to [email protected])
HOW TO
- SwipePad https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android

I would like to try this but I don't wanna be the guinea pig.
There's nothing super risky in changing the services.jar.
Make a backup of yours and you can push it back with ADB if you got a bootloop.
Nice, and thanks.
Wish there was a way to incorporate this into my app without needing the external jar file to be replaced (like it is in HC).
I have an app on Market that is a Kiosk browser app, but currently only for Honeycomb. It'd be sweet if it could work for ICS as well

I don't think there is a way to do it without a "special" version of the jar (policy or services)
In HoneyComb you could hide the bar, but with ICS Google remove that option, now the bar is "enforced" due the soft buttons and notification stuff.
new version online. see first post!
thx dabidu
Maybe this could go to the development section.
I add the .diff file with all the required changes on the source code to get the toggle the bar on and off, so anyone building a new rom from souce could implement this "feature"

I try this on eos 68. Its working with a big BUT.
No way to trigger the status bar back in application. Rotate the screen didnt work either.
Most of apps on market do not have exit button. So i can only use restart using log press power button.
I hope you could add the toggle setting on log press power button. That will do the jobs.

I understand about how to use. But if you could change the setting apk to include in display setting menu. Why not add it to the long press power button menu where the shutdown, reboot recovery and soo on.
It would become easy to use without need extra swipe application.
Just advice. No need to angry.
Nb: when using mxvideoplayer playing movies. Cannot toggle the status bar. But dice player just fine.
Amazing mod, you dont even need swipe pad. Thanks man.
You can just change back and forth from settings, sometimes after you select the bar again, it wont show, make a rotation and it will show again.

Disabling the stock clock/weather screen on the KLD

Hello,
I have a KLD unit and I'm wondering is there any way - besides installing Android from another manufacturer - to get rid of the first screen that's blocked with the clock/weather widget (or should I say - app?)
I would like to delete the widget/app and free up the screen. The weather widget is terrible, doesn't even want to work properly under either 3G or WiFi. I have no use for it.

You should be able to root by using the *#hct#root# password when entering factory settings, install supersu and then update the binary the normal way and reboot = rooted stock firmware no flashing involved.

I agree with the other answeres.
Just root the device with the password *#hct#root#
After that the device will show a dialog if any app needs root access.
You will also find a new Superuser menu in settings menu.
For my device I am currently running the Next 3D launcher (it is not for free on Google Store)
But it looks really awesome with lots of effects / transitions / icons and so on that can be downloaded for free.
Starting to play around with your device you might also want to check out apps that help with memory management like APP2SD or Android Toolkit.
For advanced modding have a look at ROMS from Malaysk (new firmware) - then you will be able to do more or less everything with your device.
Have fun
André

Hi! I would like to keep original launcher but without stock clock and weather! What should I do when I install supersu??? Can you explain in more detail (P.S. I have rooted and updated my device MCU 2.64 KLD) Thanks!
Just install Nova launcher - that doesn't even require root.
Fully customisable and much quicker and lighter than the stock launchers.

The solution in my case was just to install a Malaysk ROM and be done with it.
Once you do that, you can select which launcher you use. You can use the NEXT launcher instead which is more versatile and then do the things you want with it.

How to watch Amazon prime video without the launcher ?

I deleted the Amazon launcher so I could use fire starter since it's quicker and all my apps are just a few clicks away.
I usually don't watch prime video, but they have a series I would like to watch.

I seem to be missing some dependancy
Edit:
I got the tablet version on the Amazon Video app open BUT
Error Code: UNKNOWN_DEVICE_TYPE_ID
... can anyone help me bypass this?
--
I think I found where it the variable is defined
Code:
const-string/jumbo v2, "deviceTypeId"
What
What is the prefix that defines this variable?

My launcher is "uninstalled" for my user. I have Google Play Services installed but I don't set how that would affect it. Be careful. There are two prime video apks/applications on the Fire TV Stick 2. One is for the launching of videos from the launcher and one is for actual standalone viewing. Look in your chosen launcher for both and try both. I think the incorrect one only says "Video" w/ the correct icon.

That apk is not working on newer firmwares.
Try com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom.nvidia
freshjr said:
uggh I have that apk, but it won't open.
I cannot reinstall the launcher since it already exists.
Under package manager it shows up as an uninstalled package.
Check out my adb commands
EDIT: This seems to have worked.
but it is still showing up in the pm uninstalled list.... /???
edit2:
these assholes, LOL
moving onto different approach.
Edit:
Managed to install the tablet version of the amazon videos apk, and it crashed on open
Tablet Version: com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient
Original Version: com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom.firetv
The original one doesnt even crash ... it just doesn't do anything when opened

[App] OnePlus 6T TMobile Launcher APK with Google Feed

Found this apk on Reddit. I don't yet have my 6T. My unlocked one is coming tomorrow, but I saw someone say the option to enable the Google Feed in the native OnePlus launcher is available ONLY on TMobile variants.
FYI, this isn't my link so it might be beneficial to add a mirror. I'll attempt to add one later
So here is a link I got from Reddit with that apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NVqs9u_r--AYaB-cRqfDkab1fMXdI_7p
Original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/9uec1u
Edit: Unsure if this will work for unlocked 6T models.
thanks for adding this...look forward to finding a solution. I have the tmobile version and the unlocked direct from oneplus (dont ask lol) So i was really surprised when i turned on the op version and found that there was no google feed available. On the plus side gestures etc work properly!
Tried installing the OP's APK. Shows as an update to an existing app but it won't install. I have no details beyond that, sorry.

They're probably signed differently. You'll need to disable the built in launcher first and then try installing it. (Might be easier to install a third launcher first so you can still navigate around after disabling the stock launcher and installing the T-Mobile one).
It might also be a feature in the ROM and not the launcher.
I updated to the 9.10 version of the launcher from apkmirror and I still have the shelf/Google option on my T-Mobile variant.

Can't disable it, at least not in the standard way. (Not rooted/stock/stable firmware.)

You are correct. Just looked on my phone as well.
A shame with can't have it on the non-T-mobile variant
Sent from my OnePlus A6003
Wow, something actually good about the T-Mobile variant for once? Shocked.

Might be an "enabler" type app like pixel bridge. We need someone on T-Mobile to do some digging.
Yep... I need this.
meanwhile trying to install the 3.1 launcher on my tmobile 6t doesn't give me the updated gestures....
Very interested in this as well! I'm good with the Oxygen Launcher but am really missing my Now feed from my Pixel 2 XL. I know I can load a different launcher (Nova, Rootless, etc) but want to experience the pure Oxygen OS as I've heard great things about it! (First time OnePlus user) Adding the Google Feed widget to the shelf doesn't work either. It never updates.
I have Nova prime installed and when I go to integrations the Google feed option isn't there. Anyone else seeing this on an unlocked 1+6t?

This version of the launcher seems to be signed with the same certificate, has anyone tried adb shell pm install -r -d to install this version (not sure if this works on Pie)?
Don't forget to install the Nova companion app for Google now

It will probably show up on an update soon. Now bring on the BETA program.

I'm pretty Noob-ish when it comes to ADB...but if you give me the full command, I'll run it today.
I'm guessing "ADB shell install (launchernam.apk)" but what's with the -r -d?

-r replace (needed cause it's a system file.)
-d downgrade (installs the file despite being a lower/not matched version)

ah, good to know. I learned something today
so:
Code:
ADB shell install OPLauncher2.apk -r -d
?

Correct.
Just make sure that the apk file is in the same directory as adb.
