Closed beschoenen closed 7 years ago

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

What is the difference between the default apk and the launcher apk?

I know what an android launcher is. But it's not possible to use it on the Shield TV, right?

koying commented 8 years ago

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/how-to-set-default-launcher-marshmallow-t3227812 Never tried myself, though

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

Can confirm that this works and SPMC will become the default launcher. adb shell pm hide com.google.android.leanbacklauncher But there are no power option, so it's kinda useless atm.

koying commented 8 years ago

You need to be a system app to properly handle power options, so that's a no-go. I'll re-add power options for rooted devices, though...

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

My Shield TV is rooted, so i'll be looking forward to it.

koying commented 8 years ago

You can try http://download.semperpax.com/spmc/android-arm/SPMC-20160320-d4484e7-rooted_reboot-armeabi-v7a.apk Untested (no rooted device wired :) )

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

I'll give it a try

Will the launcher apk work with a Firestick or only works on Android phones and tablets?

Thank you. Bob

koying commented 8 years ago

Should work on rooted aftv, but not without rooting. Blame Amazon for wanting them to be sure you see their Prime stuff ;)

Is it possible to add "Reboot to Recovery" and "Reboot to Bootloader" for rooted devices?

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

I'm not getting the power options with version 16.2.1 on update 3.1

pr39th commented 8 years ago

Hello koying, did you have the latest update with the power options? Thanks for your help and support.

Is there any trick to forced the shutdown menu on a nvidia shield with update 3.1?

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

Forcing the menu wouldn't help, SPMC just isn't allowed to shut down the device without root

Nerto commented 8 years ago

Thank for the answer, but my device is rooted, but as far I understand the nvidia 3.1 update changes something.

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

It's a problem with SPMC, I tried sending a shut down command to my Shield TV via Yatse but that didn't work, so we'll have to wait for Koying to fix it.

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

@koying any update on this?

vicelversa commented 8 years ago

@beschoenen I suggest using a android reboot app (root) to accomplish this. Try holo reboot. Allows you to shutdown and reboot (normal, bootloader, recovery)

beschoenen commented 8 years ago

@vicelversa Well, that wouldn't really be convenient. The idea is that I could use SPMC as my launcher, but because SPMC doesn't have power options I can't turn off my Shield TV.

vicelversa commented 8 years ago

@beschoenen you can still add the android reboot app to SPMC for easy access. This is the same as I currently do. I actually have my reboot app nested inside my SPMC power menu which works fine.

However, I do agree that this sort of functionally would be desired to have baked into SPMC (at least for root users).
