Hey, I'm trying to use this in portrait orientation with a monitor that will be permanently mounted in the portrait orientation.

All of the apps on the app store keep landscape orientation but instead shrink the output to a portrait aspect ratio.

Any ideas? I'm trying to use the Shield TV with a GeChic 1503i touchscreen mounted in a vehicle in portrait orientation.

Hello, try a rotation app like the following and report back:

To have Mouse functionality with right stick like in stock but in all apps you need to install DroidMote Client and Server.

I already answered your question here in the forum and also in my YouTube Channel.

About myCanal app, it crashes when opened in TV (leanback) mode even when changing DPI to higher on the fly, but Handheld (normal) mode works fine. You should contact developer of that app and provide a debub log if you really want it working in TV mode. The app from Play Store has both modes so there is no separate app for Android TV.

Regarding YouTube TV you can find it in apkmirror.com, download it and install it. It works fine and it is a separate app.

If I disable the input on bluetooth settings for the controller then the remote mic starts working. So i installed another remote to see what would happen and it would activate the mic of the first remote and not use its own when trying to do voice search. So my question is, is the initial mic staying on not allowing it to switch between controllers or remotes , is this a driver issue or a firmware issue with remote/controller ? This is for the nvidia remote with headset jack and internal rechargeable batteries and newest controller so far I haven't tested with another bluetooth voice input also this happens on both my shield tv boxes.
I will report this to @zulu99 so he can test further as he has 2015 and 2017 Shield TVs with stock and Full Android so he can compare behaviour.

With every app in the app store I get this output.

I want full-screen portrait.

project_raptorx mentioned earlier in this thread that ES file explorer exhibited this behavior at it's start. I want it to be that way all the time.

The rotation apps properly rotate touch input. But not video output. (i.e. once it's like this, touch points are rotated 90 degrees from the display output and you have to guess where to touch in order to select things on the screen.)

Portrait mode that cover all the screen is not possible.

Is possible on the Nexus Player full Android that have original Android source code.

But is not possible on Shield TV full Android because Nvidia changed on purpose this behaviour and this specific component is closed source.

Is also true, that apart specific projects, this is something that not interest the generic users. After all we use Shield TV with regular TV that have landscape orientation.

Aww, well, please do update if a fix is found.

Without derailing the thread, are there any similarly spec'ed android boxes that can do that?
