I removed the lean back launcher from my device and an using Kodi launcher to load Kodi as a launcher. My issue is that adding the shield hub app as a favorite and launching it that way doesn't load the app the same way as if I was opening it from the leanback launcher. I know the android activity I need to load to get the desired output but I don't know how to add it in Kodi to launch it properly.
activity com.nvdia.tegrazone.leanback.LBMainActivity
Thoughts?

So it seems the default launcher on the stock rom is the modified Play Music app with the visualizer?
I have Trebuchet sideloaded but sending keycode 3 still makes it go back to Play Music.
I also noticed that it doesn't even ask you which app you want to use (default app dialog) because of installing a new compatible app.
How do I get Trebuchet to open when I press the home key?
Thanks
I just got Nexus Player and we successfully disconnected our Cable at got faster internet. I got Kodi and Sideload Launcher on NP but I was wondering if there's a way to make Sideload Launcher the default menu for when we exit Kodi or reboot NP?
Targethome app on play store will let you adjust your home default.
Side load launcher doesn't have the Android default home intent in the launcher unfortunately. I'm using adw right now as default
I am having an issue where my sideloaded apps will not appear on the main menu. I am just so tired of having to go to settings then apps to launch side loaded apps.
It is because those apps do not have the leanback launcher code. ie they are not designed for the TV. Install something like Sideload Launcher it shows up on the main screen and gives you quicker access to all your apps.

this guy is correct sideload launcher puts a small box with the rest of your apps and when you click on it it takes you to all your unauthorized apps. I was very happy when I found this out because I was doing exactly what you're doing.
Hey guys! First post here but long time lurker.
Recently Peloton updated their software and it has apparently blocked app launching using the "About Us" "cheat code" by rapidly pressing the corner of the pop up.
What happens now is that the only app that shows is the WebView Browser Tester-

Any ideas on how to get the other applications to show in the launcher?
Right now I am using a work around by customizing the bottom bar to launch Plex via the back button :|
Thank you!
Ok I found a work around to use nova launcher, which you can access after installing by clicking the "P" button on the lower nav. Once you do, you will be prompted with whether or not to launch Peloton OR Nova. Then later on in Nova settings you can change the default behavior of the home button.
This works for now but super lame that Peloton blocked this :\
I'm running into the same problems. Do you know a method to bring up the home screen without logging into the Peloton app? I've attempted to send specific key events to launch the home screen but that appears to be re-mapped... do you know the app and activity name for the Home Screen launcher?
I'm not able to launch any app even from nova launcher. Nova launches just fine. Any app besides that seems to start and then closes as if something is blocking it.
Any hints for that?
As a workaround, I launch everything from chrome link. Chrome seems to be launching Netfix etc appropriately.
Hitting the P doesn't give me the option for nova launcher on the tread. Is there a trick to getting it to show to ask to change default launcher? Which version of nova launcher are you using?

I have LineageOS 19.1 (AndroidTV) installed on my new walmart tv box.
Is there any way to set nova launcher as a default launcher on this platform?
I did use button remapper as a temp solution, but would rather make it native.
You can change the default launcher but nova isn't designed for Android tv. I suggest atv launcher, flauncher, or dashboard
Search on GitHub for Android tv launcher manager
Also use button mapper from the playstore to change the home button to the new launcher
If open source means anything to you, google open source android tv launcher and you'll find a reddit post that has a huge list and you can look through to see what you like
Frankly, I am not a big fan of Android TV optimized launchers.
I am a very OCD kinda guy, and all my devices all have the very same layout.
A few programs in the dock and an analogue clock widget (and nothing more).
Could I achieve it, with Google TV launcher, or any of the other TV optimized launchers?
P.S I did install button remapper as a temporary measure, but it doesn't give me 100%.
For instance from Google play store, home button takes me to Google launcher so I have to press home twice to get to Nova.

That's why I also said to use the android launcher manager from GitHub that's what disables the stock launcher

It did, but not directly, thanks.
The original method proposed there, doesn't work.
Using launcher manager oddly didn't work either.
What did work, is uninstalling android tv launcher via adb and then using launcher manager to set nova as default.
