[ROM][Full Android Marshmallow for Shield TV][v.1.5]

[zulu99]

With app settings xposed module remove the permission that change audio output as i explained in post above.
In this way i tested hangouts, facebook and others audio / video calls apps. Everything works very well with this little trick.

You are right in that it can be solved with that trick.
I was looking if it can be solved by correcting the config.

is just a suspect, but i think that in Marshmallow Nvidia modified the audio libs on purpose. to not permit the use of some apps ( phone calls apps ) or because the right audio implementation interfere with the garbage controller, but

we solved also this: blocking the permission android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS with App Settings xposed module.

Think that you can't have audio at all if you compile the public source code, therefore also for the audio i used the precompiled binaries.

Android TV is a super "Walled Garden" and also not open source. Only a tireless developer like me can have a wonderful full Android firmware.

Why ? because others professional developers, when see all this garbage and limitations, prefer to work on others open source devices.

The work to create the full Android firmware for Shield TV is really a mission impossible, is not like create others android firmwares because Nvidia not publish the source code of the most important part of a firmware.

But fortunately, despite these limitations, from the beginning, we have a wonderful and super functional full Android firmware for Shield TV.

Hello i have an ampli denon and a plasma tv so i want to keep my screen black to protect the screeen when playing music like spotify. With android on the phone or tablet the screen sleep but the sound is on. With the shield tv the screen and the sound sleep... What is the trick to have the same behavior with the shield tv ? I know i can use the screensaver but i don't want a multicolor one.

Is not possible. You can install and use the backdrop daydream from apk mirror and active from android display settings.
To have the same screen saver of Nvidia firmware.

Hi,

I understand it may have been answered before, I don't need very detailed info, I'd just like to know if the shield remote (not the gamepad) is supported by the full rom (all info I saw so far was related to the gamepad).

I'm not interested in games, just good media support, 4k, HDR and streaming services.

Thanks a lot

Hallo everybody, I can't launch the Android TV Settings. When I click on "Settings" a blank window appears. On the top is a black stripe with the word "Settings" but the main window is white. I guess this happened after installing the TVSettings apk. But deinstalling the TV Settings didn't bring back the Android Settings. The window is still blank.

Ok i will use the lucid daydream screensaver with a black color 000000 cause backdrop has some tiny persistent menu at the bottom.
Another question: i have give up with with the hdmi cec to power on and off the system. The tv settings is on but no effect... But i know the system audio control is working with the official firmware but how activate it with full android ? I have try persist.hdmi.cec_port 2 but no succes...

to have backdrop daydream in full screen you can use the xposed module appSettings. Inside AppSettings you can select if you want an app in full screen, in case was not supported by default.

To have same android tv settings, you can install the TVSettings app. You can find the app in second post. Inside you have also settings for hdmi cec power off

i don't know if the nvidia remote works because i don't have one and i use only DroidMote to control all my android tv boxes.

Trust me, DroidMote is 10000999990000000 times better. on Android Tv and on full Android

Someone know how to restore the normal portrait mode and not the implementation with black bars made by Nvidia ? Could be very useful if you have a Monitor that rotate.

Is a Kernel config or is hardcoded inside the hwcomposer ?
If you are a developer and know the answer, let me know.

I have allready use the apk tv setting. Power on off has no effect even with the nvidia official. But the problem is the sound control i can't acces system sound within the tv setting because it crashs when i go here.
