Hey guys, I have 2 nexus players and I'm thinking of getting another android box that's more powerful. What I want to know is can i install the leanback launcher on a box other than the nexus/adt-1?
Any help is greatly appreciated .
Try these
I found few apps which can serve the purpose
HALauncher
Unwind Launcher for TV BETA
You can test these apps on your phone or tablet too
I found an older version APK that worked, except suggestions, on my Leelbox (amlogic) Q2. Every other version did not work though.
Hey guys. Does anyone have a working apk of the DirecTV app for the Nvidia Shield Android TV?
It looks like it has HDMI protection and just fails to stream. Has anyone been able to remove the protection on the .smali file that has it?
What is the exact error that you are receiving? I use to be able sideload a Direct TV apk for either the phone or the tablet but now they have stop working. When it worked fine it was amazing. I was able to watch my subscribed premiums. I think we need to incentivize developers to find a means of allowing functionality through our Nvidia Shield. I will pledge a 300 bounty for the first person that finds a work around. There are many gifted people on this forum and as a whole we can solve this issue.
Any luck with this?
Not sure if it's an HDMI block because if you notice certain channels do work (local NBC works for me as well as ESPN channels). I'm inclined to think the device isn't giving the proper location access to the app thus forcing the error for most channels. Just my 2 cents.
I experimented with a custom ROM yesterday and the DIRECTV app worked great on it. I don't think the app has an HDMI block, I think it's more that the stock rom restricts the necessary permissions or location requests.
What android tv box are you using? Are you using the latest directv version (phone or tablet)? What custom ROM you use?
I have a shield TV and I'm using zulu99's full android marshmellow firmware. There isn't any controller support so you'll have to pair with a mouse/keyboard but pretty much all apps work on it.
Hey guys, I am in the same situation. I have found two other threads on the issue. It is definitely not an HDMI issue or a WiFi issue. Someone has tried to fool the app on what device it's on and it worked but it was too much work. There must be a simpler way to achieve this.

I would love to see someone figure this out. I have tried to tinker, but I am just not smart enough to make it happen. Hopefully one of the many crazy smart dev's will take a look at this sometime. ((fingers crossed))

The Direct TV app now is working I have the same issue but i think it was an ATT issue but its working as of 10/19/16
but not working on my note 4
DirecTV now
Hi, DirecTV Now app is not in my Google play store ! I'm using Nvidia shield TV. Any reason why it's not showing up ..
Thanks
I would love to use the DirecTV Now app on the nVidia Shield too. I extracted the APK from the app I installed on my Pixel XL, and loaded it on the Shield, but I get the following error:
failed to connect to aeg-umsgw.quickplay.com/23.101.201.149 (port443) after 10000ms
Man, life would be good if they'd release this app for the Shield.
Ok, so I was able to extract the Fire TV .apk file and sideload onto my Nvidia Shield TV. I was able to open it and navigate using the standard Shield remote. The only issue I am having is playing live TV content. Sometimes it loaded fine and other times it gives me an error and telling me to Refresh the content. Seems to be very buggy for Android TV. Here is a link to the extracted .apk file. I would like to see what you guys get trying this out.

I got mine working. I did a Sideload APK install from APK Mirror "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015 by DIRECTV, LLC --- September 9, 2016" (select that version)
My problem was that I kept trying to use the Telephone version of this App. I did not know that DirecTv has a Tablet APK version as well that is very similar but has slight variations for older tablets. Let me know if yours works now. I don't need $300, but a $10 Starbucks gift card will do...
*** SINCE I am new to this forum I cant post the link *** Go to the APKMIRROR website and search "Directv" -> then select-> "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015"
Enjoy.

It seems there is some confusion and contusion between the DirecTV apps. The hot new toppic is about the DirecTV NOW service. I ran the search on APKmirror and it seems what you are talking about is the older app for DirecTV satellite service customers.
http://www.apkmirror.com/?s=Directv&post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk
I am referring to the DirecTV app that is for satellite customers, NOT the Now app.
I was able to download the tablet version of the DirecTV app and use it on my Nexus Player running stock 7.1.1 system, but you have to use a mouse; the app is designed for touch input and while you can sort of use the remote, there are a bunch of things you cannot press without using a mouse. Still hoping for some official support at.. using a mouse isn't ideal. Here is the latest apk file: updated 11/24/2016 v. 4.9.010

Resurrecting this old thread. Do you still use the directv app on your shield and is it working ok? Do you have a more recent apk you can share? For anyone reading this I am looking for the DirecTV app NOT the DirecTV Now app. Thank you!
Hello everyone,
I have subscribed to NFL Game Pass Europe in order to watch NFL games live. Previously, I have had no problem sideloading the NFL Game Pass Europe app to the Shield and using it. On July 5th a required update to version 1.3.2 was released which appears to add leanback support to the app (yeah!) but also appears to have broken the app on the Shield completely (boo!). Currently the application opens (in landscape now vs. portrait as with previous versions) and the loading progress bar on the bottom fills left to right then the app immediately closes.
Can anyone else confirm the behavior and/or make modifications to get this working once again?
I am haveing the same problem as of 26/07/2018
Hi I can confirm that I am haveing the extract same problem as yourself N.F.L game Pass Europe was working fine yesterday up until last night then though
I will see what is happening round the league then
I discovered the problem been trying to sort the
problem for a large chunk of the afternoon as
thought the problem was on my side of the things.
It was only when I came across your post that
I realised this was not the case.
Working fine when I cast from My Samsung S J mobile
to the Nevida Video Shield but nog really the point should not need to do this.
Hopefully the problem will be fixed buy tomorrow afternoon.
Any advice ?
It looks like there was an update posted yesterday but is anyone able to post the apk. I'm in the US but I sign up for international as there are no blackouts on any games.
any news with this apk? have the same problem.
Solutions
PM me for details..
There's an official app for Amazon Fire TV. Since the Fire TV device are basically Android-based, shouldn't it be possible to side load that app onto an Android TV as well?
I have Shield TV with Amazon Prime Video.
At the beginning I didn't have any problem with this streaming service.
Few month later I was in england for some time.
Amazon Video on Shield in england diden't worked, than i have reseted this app (delete all app data) and configurate Amazon Video again. After that, streaming started working in UK
But when I was come back to austria, apps again stoped working.
Again i deleted all Amazon Video app data. But in this case it's not helped.
When I want to watch movie/series i get message, like something whas wrong, pleas try later.
I have no idea how can i fix it
Amazon support told me that Amazon not suporting Shield TV (what is't true).
What strang is, on my smartphone and Windows all working without any problems.
After update to new Android 8.0 version. Amazon video still not working

Good luck :good:
I can't install this App.
Do i need root for this ?
Hey guys,
Have anyone had any luck sideloading Peacock Android TV version on a rooted stick?
I were not able to and I tried playing with Xposed modules and turning on Magisk Hide but no go. The app instantly crashes once you try to run it.
Anyone familiar with a good way to work around this ?
Thanks

I have a unlocked 4k (no root) i tried it on and it just crashes on startup. I tried it on the latest FireOS and a couple older ones. I always get the same crash at start up. I tried the phone version and i get the same. no ideas here...
I used Peacock on non rooted Firestick 4K and it worked. I signed in but it did not work the first time. I forced close in the app and then it worked without problem. I downloaded the www.apkmirror.com

I think it just doesn't work on rooted devices, but I've heard people having it working just fine by doing what you've just explained above
Sadly, this doesn't seem to work with rooted ones, rebooting or force closing doesn't seem to do the trick.
I wonder if there is a way to bypass the root detection and run it also on rooted firetv4k.
Anyone figure a fix for the rooted sticks and Peacock tv ?
