Excellent, even though my questions were not answered, it continues like this!

Question 1 ----> Zulu99, what is the possibility that when making the ROM full Android oreo include the NOUGAT screen recording tool? since it was removed in this new version

Question 2 ----> Being in OREO Beta is it possible to return to NOUGAT or install Android Full Nougat 1.5? I need the screen recorder tool from nvidia

you can turn back, but usually not necessary.

When you have full Android, you can use all tools that you want to record screen. Why you need the Nvidia of old firmware ? i never used it, i use Azscreen recorder.

If your question is about share to Twitch, since Nvidia removed this tool, removed also the agreemnt with Twitch.
We have old library o communicate with Twitch, but soon will be not functional. Therefore the Twitch service will be broken for agreement reasons and not tech reason. Mainly the old library will stop working.

or you need the Nvidia tool for others reasons ?

@Zulu99

I have a channel on YouTube and now I do not have how to record the screen while on OREO, the NVIDIA screen recording tool is the best and I can record the internal audio, I have not got a screen recorder that works properly on AndroidTV OREO neither DuRecorder nor AZscreen, I tried to return to Nougat, I tried to install Android Full v1.5 and I could not, being in OREO it seems impossible since when starting shield it automatically updates to oreo :(

UPDATE....

In my tests on OREO, i found that with the Nvidia implementation, some apps, expecially apps designed exlusivly for TV, since we have the navigation bar, not adapt well to the screen. you have a black bar on the right.

but i found a solution.

from build.prop we can change the value qemu.hw.mainkeys to hide completly the status bar and after install a fake navigation bar like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nu.nav.bar

IN this way all apps adapt well and we can use also the navigation bar.


But attention, the navigation bar can also completly removed if you use droidmote like me to control the shield tv.

like this screenshot, take a look

DO NOT INSTALL OTA OF A MODEL ON OTHERS MODELS


DO NOT USE OTA OF 2017 DEVICES IN 2015 DEVICES FOR ANY REASON.

The OTA contain also the bootloader and can brick your device.

With full Android we change only system and vendor images, for this reason the operation is SAFE.
so this works on darcy 2017 model? also can i install the leanback laucher on top of this build?

also i red about the option to dual boot this from a usb while maintaining the official os on the internal storage is this still possible ?
or will it be possible on the new oreo build your working on?

my goal was to have full android with the leanback laucher as its main launcher i hate halauncher and square home etc i love lean back but want that and full android also lol any advise would help a lot

So that's why there is an error in almost all apps using cursor or pad, we are already looking forward to receive ANDROID FULL OREO

A question that I consider important friend Zulu99, in AndroidFullodemos make use of the trackpad in the previous controls of SHIELD? And that Nvidia blocked this option a while ago

AN IMPORTANT ADVISE TO THE ANDROID TV BOX USERS
In Android 8 Oreo, the developers of the Android Open Source Project decided to add this modification.


Exit touch mode on mouse/stylus click

https://android.googlesource.com/platfo ... ad01a4cc9/

https://android-review.googlesource.com ... e/+/551840


What means ?

That by default, on many launchers for phone and tablets, if the mouse support is not added by purpose, you can't drag icons on the launchers and you can't drag widgets with the mouse. And for sure will brings also many others problems.

On Shield TV Oreo, i'm restoring the old behaviour so the developers of launchers can fix, with calm, this problems with the mouse.

On others TV box with Oreo inside, you will have this problem. But if you want still drag and add widgets, you can use the DroidMote touch mouse.

Droidmote have the normal mouse and the touch mouse because not all apps and games have proper mouse support.
