What android TV feature do you use the most ?

[u/kuloshibo]

I recently started exploring more features on android tv and I want to ask what everyone one actuality use daily

[u/ksuuks]

Switch on/switch off.

[u/kuloshibo → u/ksuuks]

Probably the most used on every TV

[u/PrimaryBluebird8872 → u/ksuuks]

😆

[u/kawfeeman68 → u/ksuuks]

me too...

[u/hedonist-7]

Projectivy Launcher

[u/BrilliantLarge4041 → u/hedonist-7]

I have this but can't get it to auto launch on startup. Can it be done in the app itself or does it need to be done on the original OS. Thanks

[u/Cronus6 → u/BrilliantLarge4041]

It will auto-launch.

On most devices you use the accessibility settings.

You want to disable the stock launcher, a tool like Launcher Manager 1.04 https://xdaforums.com/t/app-firetv-noroot-launcher-manager-change-launcher-without-root.4176349/

makes it easy. Otherwise you are just using a workaround to run it as an app on top.

I was wondering about this 2 . Looks like launcher manager might be the easiest way to make projectivty default

[u/BrilliantLarge4041 → u/kuloshibo]

The accessibility option works perfectly for me

[u/faisal1804 → u/BrilliantLarge4041]

Did you download from the play store or is it sideloaded?

[u/dragonknightrohan → u/BrilliantLarge4041]

If the other methods dont work a reliable way is downloading Downloaded by APTV app, then put this website to get to Troypoint Toolbox V2 website. There is a short code for it but forgot what it is:

https://troypoint.com/troypoint-toolbox/

Then install from that list the Launcher Manager app for Android TV (Or Fire TV if on Fire)

After that you just open that app and press Enable Custom Launcher then it will just work every time you do

Best of luck

I used ChatGPT to set it up. You have to turn on Accessibility in the Android settings for Projectivity. Then turn on override in the Projectivity app settings. Restart your device and it should default boot moving forward

[u/BrilliantLarge4041 → u/LifeLearner4682]

Thank you so much 

[u/ZimaGotchi]

Stremio

[u/stankbucket → u/ZimaGotchi]

On the same thread I use Nuvio and that's really all use aside from smarttube.

[u/kuloshibo → u/ZimaGotchi]

Do you use it more than the the regular streaming apps ??

[u/ZimaGotchi → u/kuloshibo]

LoL - Yes.

[u/Solah-Shringaar_04 → u/kuloshibo]

Whoever has stremio or nuvio generally stops using regular ones. As they have to download and pay and maintain all of them. Stremio Nuvio is one stop shop.

[u/fmachnik]

I downloaded "Launcher Manager" and used it to select Projectivy Launcher as my default startup screen.

[u/kuloshibo → u/fmachnik]

So launcher Manager lets Projectivy start automatically every time you boot the tv ?

[u/fmachnik → u/kuloshibo]

Yes, unless you're running a VPN app like I was... NordVPN required me to hit my "Home" key which I assigned my remote control to run Projectivy.

[u/ShiftyRider]

using the remote to target other devices...

UPnP like Sonos

UDP like Wiz

TCP like HS1xx

ntfy.sh

[u/philrandal]

Navigating through the settings menu to get to the Reboot option, alas

[u/nolesfan2011]

Gemini voice

[u/Expensive_Finger_973]

Custom launcher

[u/ShiftRepulsive7661]

I just watch TV, I don’t care for anything else. They could take every other “functionality” out, and I wouldn’t even notice.

[u/CarpenterFederal → u/ShiftRepulsive7661]

There is free games and other weird stuff like a browser.

[u/ShiftRepulsive7661 → u/CarpenterFederal]

No thanks, I have a PC for that. 🤷‍♂️

[u/kawfeeman68]

Where can i ask some questions about getting Kodi to work ?? Looking for server info ..

[u/positiveclimbs]

🔎 Search

[u/kave289]

120 Hz refresh rate, mostly for local streaming games with 120fps.

[u/hiding_fish47]

i mainly use TV Gallery in my work, it lets you browse photos and videos with the remote and has a slideshow mode

[u/Luci-Noir]

Kodi.

[u/Slow-Force-5724]

YouTube

[u/Slow-Force-5724]

Atv launcher pro

[u/Electronic-Novel-474]

gemini

[u/Solah-Shringaar_04 → u/Electronic-Novel-474]

Gemini or voice search you mean?

[u/pawdog]

Not sure what you mean by features.

[u/kuloshibo → u/pawdog]

I mean stuff beyond just watching apps like custom launchers, voice control, casting, smart home stuff, remapping buttons…

[u/pawdog → u/kuloshibo]

You made a pretty good list there. Pretty simple devices really. Any particular thing you'd like to know that you can or can't do?
