It would be greate to add support to launch app from Android TV home page. Need to add in AndroidManifest.xml: "category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER"" and add android:banner="@drawable/" in activity entry. May be need some more actions.

Yes, a full Android TV-oriented experience would be great! Especially if it includes populating a home-screen "channel" as the official app does.

Is there any update on the matter?

Even I can (probably) make it show a tile in the leanback launcher, but it won't magically make it compatible, some things work by navigating with the remote's D-Pad (videos can't be selected with it), some with a virtual mouse cursor, but most things need a real mouse or a "air" one, of your remote supports it, but the original one that comes with Philips TV (with A.5.1.1) doesn't supports air gestures, so IDK if those work.
