Guys
the long awaited remote control app is availeble in the samsung app store for the Galaxy..!!
I have installed it but i dont have a samsung tv to test it with (yet!)
-TB-
Woah - I dont understand what are compatible tv sets ? Would the LE40M87BDX be compatible for example? Or has the TV got to be connected to the Wifi also?
1) Model – All TV models having [email protected] functionalities published after 2010 2) How do I know my TV supports this application? a) Turn on your TV b) Go to "Menu" c) Go to "Setup" d) Check if you have "Wireless Remote Control" menu Application Display Language - English Only
(source:http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=000000020400)
LE40M87BDX would not be compatible
So, I have a PM a while back about Webkey app on FTV. Here it is
@clembo100 said:
Hi there, I have just installed webkey on my Amazon TV Firestick in order to remote access Kodi installation configs etc.
When starting the app on the browser I can connect but get a plain replica of a phone on the screen with a small android icon on it but no actual way of viewing the screen or controlling anything. The mouse pointer changes when over some of the edges of the screen as though to do something but nothing seems to be working correctly. I wondered if you had come across this or can help with a fix? Thanks for reading this

I had the same problem on my FTV2 running version 3.2.6. The new version is not as feature rich (no terminal, no file transfers, no file system navigation, no way to input text easily) as the old one. Alas, you cannot run the older version on FTV2, it will refuse to start, either manually or auto-boot.
But, I have playing around with it and found that you can navigate menus using the keyboard arrow keys. Certain menu items can be invoked using mouse clicks as well (eg, if you go to Applications and open an app., you get different choices like "Run App" or "Clear Data". You can click on them and it seems to work). Also, usually once you are within an app, you can point and click using your mouse. So, even though it is crippled, it does work, though not as seamlessly as the older version. You can get the latest one at http://webkey.cc/ and there is a link for direct apk download.
One of the best uses I have for it right now is to interact with Google Play (system app). I have frozen my GPlay app at 5.6.8. As others have indicated, the mouse does not work (using K400) in the app. But, I can point and click in the GPlay app using Webkey and it makes it easy. Tip, if you need to click on the rectangle formed by 3 horizontal lines at the top of the page to get into your settings, click on the top left corner of that rectangle (of just those 3 lines) and the menu should pop down.
An interesting thing I found, if you install GPlay (5.6.8) as a user app, the mouse works, but it stops working when GPlay (same version) is installed as a system app. Of course as a user app, you get the error (976?) that won't allow you to install apps from within GPlay.
Hiya All,
Been a member of XDA for over 4 years but lost the account info and email address.
Bought the shield 2017 yesterday and so far I love it, it is my first ever android TV box and obviously the streaming part from PC was the nail in the coffin which works great with my 1080.
The only downside I had found and am kicking myself I didn't look into it a lot more was the google store, didn't realise the apps would be so limited! and just assumed coming from an android phone it was be the same.
Most of the apps on there are ok and there isn't much else I am missing but I would of loved to have had ITV HUB installed which you can't.
I have been on this forum and looked at the threads and most of the links are missing now for the modified ITV HUB APK and I have tried side loading the ITV HUB from usb from the store but I just get " this app has stopped working "
One of the ITV HUB apk's installed and opened but obviously the orientation was mobile view and was difficult to navigate.
Hopefully someone could help or point me in the correct location
thanks again all

Hi
I installed with adb F-Droid and apps distributed with F-Droid. The most apps don't show up in main menu.
Now I wish to install a custom Launcher, which shows those apps.
In F-Droid I didn't find any launcher with Android TV support.
I don't have a Google account, so cant use Google Play.
I know it doesn't approve the prerequisite of being in F-Droid, but the next one is here on XDA and it's been made by the great Chainfire, so I'll recommend it to you anyway:
[APP][TV5.0+][2015.03.10] Sideload Launcher for Android TV v1.05
Easily launch apps you sideloaded to your Android TV This is only for the new Android TV devices, like the ADT-1 and the Nexus Player, it is completely useless on other devices Android TV requires existing apps to be updated and declare...
forum.xda-developers.com
You can directly install the .apk with a pen drive without using Android TV Google Play Store, and is for exactly what you are needing.
I have it installed on my TV, and it works flawlessly.
Other tip: you can directly install the F-Droid official "Store" app on your TV with the .apk (I didn't catch correctly if you did so, or if you are installing apps from there with adb), so you don't need to be using adb each time you want something from there.
I have it installed with the official .apk as well and it's a bit slow, but works and can be used to update whatever app you installed from there. Mind that for the updating part to work, you need a "mouse input" type of device for doing the "scroll down to refresh" gesture, so the app updates the repository information and lists the updates available for your apps.
Thank you very much for help
For this launcher I can't find the Git repo. At the moment I use FLauncher which is in Beta. Wrote the same in official thread.
I can't connect mouse/keyboard to ATV, see

I can't find the Git repo and it seems not in F-Droid
Android TV Launcher is for those users who want endless customization options on Android TV. You can add your favorite widgets on the home screen from weather to time widgets — everything is available. You also have support for app widgets. If you want to change your launcher too, there is an easy way-Open Device Preferences of your Android TV. Then go to Build Version under the about section. Now, repeatedly press it until Developer Options are enabled. After enabling, go back to the Device Preferences menu and open Developer Options.
FLAUNCHER is open source android tv launcher made with flutter
FLauncher / FLauncher · GitLab
Open-source alternative launcher for Android TV, built with Flutter.

My Android TV box does not show installed app. No matter what Launcher I try the app icon remain invisible. The app can opened from settings. chainfire's sideload launcher does not make any difference. there must be something in the android core itself.
use Flauncherit shows any apps you wants !
chainfire doesnt not even see sideloaded apps anymore

TV: Sony Bravia
Scenario : i have an app that contains sections : series, movies, live stream . I want when the app starts the live stream activity starts immediately instead of main menu .
Things i tried:
1- modify the apk to change the "mainActivity" to the live stream activity . after repacking the app and signing it . the app doesnt install ( i think it gets corrupted ) . i used APK Editor Studio
2- use an application like " Activity launcher" which shows you which activities included in any app and you can make a shortcut for the activity you need. However on Android TV i get the message "its not allowed to pin shortcut in this launcher"
Any help / solution is appreciated
