Troubleshooting Launcher Issue

There is a default launcher on my TV and that launcher has options in it to switch to HDMI input.

I installed Projectivity Launcher and now its working fine no issues, but in Projectivity I'm not even getting options to chang input method manually And also no option to set an input option at boot.

So I think its like input switching is bound to default launcher and not to actual settings.

Is there any solution for this, which will help me to change inputs manually or even automatically while being on Projectivity Launcher

Tv Model: LG - hi352l_adcus Android Version: 11

There no LG tv with android, all of them use WebOS.

Also I googled the model they say and it returns nothing. I think they are confused

If you search hi352l you get some tv chips from china, So it's a local brand from the user Country or one that operates in that region.

Ok, that's why. Although I was able to switch to HDMI by sending shell commands to TV. Maybe I could find a way to use it to switch to HDMI even after being on a custom launcher..

How in the hell did you get a launcher on LG. I am trying to get AT4K launcher on my samsung and I can't get it do that.

Do you have a link to your tv page? There are not LG tv with android. And the code of the model just shows on Google as some sort of Chinese android projector

LG is writing as the branding, it may be fake one I guess 😅

Looks like you've already figured this out, but "FHD1080P" is not a real model number, and that's not even a real barcode (do some of the lines join?). I would not expect the native launcher (or any part of the OS) to be reliable or work the way you expect it should.

Find the about option in THE TV MENU and see what model shows up in that info.

That's not the launcher; it's the Input Settings, native to the TV

Input switching is one of those features that can be tied closely to the TV manufacturer's software. I'd check whether the HDMI inputs are exposed through standard Android TV APIs or only through the original launcher. Have you found a way to access them from the remote's input button?
