Question:
When I installed the 2.5.25 build from miuiandroid, I was getting a red ring around the screen when entering/leaving most apps...I installed trobys build of 2.5.25 and have not encountered this issue.
Can someone who has installed today's build confirm if it is still happening or not? If so, is there anything to do to fix it? I imagine that it has to do with the screens resolution

EDIT: Nevermind, this is MIUIANDROID.
Still Sense based.

If you are already using any Masik rom then no need to wipe "data". Just wipe dalvik / ART cache, cache, system and vendor. Then install the latest Masik rom. All your applications will be preserved as they were. That will work just like OTA update

With firmware device, you need to understand all the risks. Neither I nor the website is not responsible for your actions and possibly killed devices! Everything you do - you do at your own peril and risk.
Before installing the firmware, be sure to try to get into the Recovery (I have this method - I press the RESET button (RST) and hold the buttons on the front panel of the device until the buttons blink - I release the RESET button and immediately press the RESET button again for a short time 1-2 times ).
IMPORTANT!! : You cannot change the firmware versions in the system partitions - System, Vendor, ODM and Product (this is due to the fact that in 10 android these sections are dynamic and protected by the android itself from changes)- otherwise you will have a BLACK SCREEN after reboot and you will have to go to RECOVERY and reinstall the firmware from there (you can without deleting the data).
How do you know if your device is suitable for this forum thread? You can see the device in Settings - System - About device: look at the photo

Question: What needs to be done to show the logos of radio stations?
Answer :
1. Download, for example, this archive of logos - https://disk.yandex.ru/d/696euyOc9YLmiQ or download them from the Internet.
2. The picture must be in .png format, preferably with a resolution of 250X250 px or 500X500 px (the higher the resolution, the better the picture will be shown in the screensaver)
3. Find out the frequencies of radio stations in your city by entering into Google search "frequencies of radio stations (your city)"
4. Rename pictures in .png format with the name of the radio station frequency. For example: there is a radio station Record, it broadcasts in your city at a frequency of 102.3 -
rename the picture with the name 102.3.png.
5. Create a Radio folder and copy all your pictures there.
6. Copy the Radio folder to the root of the sdcard internal memory.

Restoring the PX6 MTCE device on the 10 android.​Also, using this method, go from 9-10 android to 10 android.
I want to warn you: Everything that you do, you do at your own peril and risk.
Create bootable SD card 10 Android PX6.
Important!!! : very demanding on the type of SD card !! I started installing the firmware when I changed 5 different SD cards from different manufacturers !!!!!
1. Unzip the bootable_sd_card_10_android_PX6 archive to C:/ disk on a laptop or computer.
2. Run SD_Firmware_Tool.exe (as administrator)
3. Select the firmware in .IMG - update_10_android_zavod_PX6.img
4. Click on the Create button.
5. After creating the SD card, insert it into the device and reboot it. The firmware installation will start automatically. Installation will take a very long time, about 40-60 minutes !!!!!

If we have purchased your firmware for 9.0 full, do we need to do another purchase for this android 10 version?
Also, what's the upgrade procedure like for those of us coming off of malaysk 9.0?
I wonder if the upgrade is even worth it? Does your android 10 bring anything extra to the table? Love your android 9 firmware!
Thank you the best rom for px6 a10 so far !

@Malaysk hasnt confirmed Bluetooth support in Android 10, it's likely that MD-725 (RTL) isnt supported, so many devices might not have working Bluetooth on these versions. There may be other BT types not supported, but @Malaysk hasnt confirmed supported devices at all.
ok so i'm not entirely sure what the lite version actually consists of. I appreciate that it says a lot of things have been changed and added in the FULL version. But are we talking that the LITE version is just stock rom with a couple of launchers , root and a few other apps?
what rom is it actually based on or is it compiled from fresh?
is the lite version going to give me enough difference from stock 10 i have on my current unit in terms of speed, responsiveness and suchlike to make it worthwhile basically starting afresh?
bear in mind that i'm new to these devices and i've not installed any custom roms like this or hal9k on it before (plenty of experience with phones /tablets though)

Only for devices processor Rockchip PX6, MCU - MTCD, MTCE Android 10.0 !

Only for those who have 10 android installed, a PX6 processor and have an installed MCU that starts with MTC (X) - where X can have different letters.
With firmware device, you need to understand all the risks. Neither I nor the website is not responsible for your actions and possibly killed devices! Everything you do - you do at your own peril and risk.
Before installing the firmware, be sure to try to get into the Recovery (I have this method - I press the RESET button (RST) and hold the buttons on the front panel of the device until the buttons blink - I release the RESET button and immediately press the RESET button again for a short time 1-2 times ).
IMPORTANT!! : You cannot change the firmware versions in the system partitions - System, Vendor, ODM and Product (this is due to the fact that in 10 android these sections are dynamic and protected by the android itself from changes)- otherwise you will have a BLACK SCREEN after reboot and you will have to go to RECOVERY and reinstall the firmware from there (you can without deleting the data).
How do you know if your device is suitable for this forum thread? You can see the device in Settings - System - About device: look at the photo
What's added, fixed in LITE firmware version:
Root access (Magisk) 8.0.2
IMPORTANT!! : You cannot change the firmware versions in the system partitions in LITE - System, Vendor, ODM and Product - otherwise you will have a BLACK SCREEN after reboot and you will have to go to RECOVERY and reinstall the firmware from there (you can without deleting the data).
Added ESFileExplorer, RootExplorer programs.
Two modified launchers with the ability to customize them (located in Mod Settings).
Enabled the ability to start the screensaver and set the start time to 15-30 seconds 1-3-5-7-10 minutes.
By default, video viewing while driving is enabled and audio mute in Navigation is set to -3.
Changed basic Settings.
Possibility to set viewing of Internet traffic speed in the Status Bar.
Ability to change color and gradient in the Status Bar.
Many other changes and additions.
Installing LITE firmware version:
Unzip the archive and write the Update.zip file to a SD card or USB flash drive (must be formatted in FAT32). Insert into the loaded device. After a few seconds, the update menu will appear. We put a checkmark on Wipe Data (you will lose all your installed programs) and click on the Install button. See the screenshot below. The machine will reboot and the firmware installation will begin.
Download LITE version:
Be sure to read the instructions inside the archive, along with the firmware !!!

hi, no i've not attempted to yet since part of me is reluctant to give money for the rom, from what i can tell the 'lite' version is not a lot different to stock so isn't indicative of the one that he wants you to pay money for. plus i'm not paying money when the guy rarely supports his 'product'.
waiting for hal9k's rom
Hello,
the rom is verdy good.
Thanks.
But the EQ is very poor.
Can we install the EQ from Hal9k v4 or from AAS?
Updating from an existing Android 10, I got a status 7 error when updating to lite - what am I possibly doing wrong ???

i have not tried this version as but i used the previous version
the lite release give you more futures than stock but it is not meant to be used full time it meant to be a test drive for this ROM before you pay anything
the money go to support the developer to help improve this ROM
The full release add soo many futures that you can not get on stock

Are coming from android 9 or 10?
For 10 it should work (but I have not tried)
For 9 you can not upgrade directly from 9 to 10 like that
you need a special method

Same issue happens to me. I come from a rooted device on 10 but the reset to factory default, resets itself without root, therefore early root might not be the issue.
Px5 or px6
Hey Malaysk
I like you Rom. And installed your Rom in a previews device, made a contribution. But right now I have other device and I am a bit confused. Is it a a px5 or px6. It has an android 10.
Thanks

[APP][ANDROID TV] Projectivy Launcher

Introduction
Projectivy Launcher is a launcher dedicated to Android Tv, offering special features for Xiaomi family projectors/TVs.
With the new major version that extends the use to all Android TV devices, and for better understanding, the original thread has been split :
The original thread will focus on Xiaomi/Fengmi/Wemax projectors, offering a faq, links to custom recoveries, guide for rooting, links to download stock ROMS and OTAs.
This thread will focus on the launcher itself.
Description
It's a multi purpose launcher that can be used without root, but adds interesting features on rooted ones. It can be installed on most Android Tv devices (to provide automatic boot on HDMI input for example). A bunch of functionnalities are dedicated to devices with amlogic/mediatek SOCs and/or Xiaomi devices.
It can be used as a launcher replacement, or as a standalone app if you only need a side feature.
You don't need root to use this app, except for the features maked with [ROOT] below.
Here are the current features :
Global UI : long press any card/icon to display a contextual menu allowing you to start/uninstall app as well as hide or rearrage it as you like (ie : move or add it to another section)
Input :
Shortcuts to change source to HDMI 1 to 3, AV, as well as opening an onscreen menu to choose the source. These will be useful if you disable the stock launcher, as you will probably lose the stock widget with Tv preview and change source buttons.
Tv Apps :
... : Android Tv dedicated apps will appear here
Mobile Apps :
... : any app not dedicated to Android Tv (whose icon usually doesn't display on Android Tv launchers) will appear here
Display :
Display settings : Add ability to create different display profiles (premium version required for more than 1) that can be applied automatically when changing input source and dynamic range. Most features that could be changed in previous versions (zoom, input lag...) of this app can be added to a display profile and thus automatically available upon boot with no action on your side. The profile editor can also display many calibration screens to help you setup your device as you need. Unless you're using a device based on Android Tv 6, you'll need to have a rooted device. If it's not working for you, you can probably benefit from the calibration patterns it can display (FHD, 4K, Jitter, HDR, DV...)
Zoom : Changes the Zoom in/out factor for video display (external inputs as well as any video player) [ROOT] and also enables access to stock zoom feature if available (to zoom/unzoom full display, not only video, but can't go below 80%)
Force 4k UI rendering [ROOT] : this may cause lags when rendering the UI
Settings :
Projectivy settings:
launcher
Parental control : protect apps with a parental code (totally or during a specific time frame)
Override stock launcher : try to replace the stock launcher even if it hasn't been disabled (which is still the preferred way)
Card size : size of the apps icons
Wallpaper : choose between no wallpaper, user defined one, or random wallpapers from different reddit channels
Use dynamic colors : change main color based on your wallpaper, à la Material You
Show status bar
Unselected lines opacity
Display left headers
Show sections title
Show time
Show app title
Input
Rename HDMI inputs
Disable HDMI inputs so that they're not displayed in the launcher
Prefer internal Tv View : replace the stock HDMI Input app with a custom one. It doesn't support CEC (only system apps can do it), but it might be useful for specific usage
Power control
Startup to : android, specific app or specific Hdmi input
Automatically shutdown when HDMI signal stops (experimental) : trigger a power off when the Hdmi Input app exits automatically (which usually means the input device has been shut down)
Prevent automatic shutdown when idle : some systems automatically shutdown if no user interaction has happened recently, this can prevent this behavior (useful if you start your device with CEC and never touch its remote control
Enable internal idle detection : if use did not touch the remote control for the given time, sned a poweroff or standby command
Device settings : launches the projector/tv/box settings
Additional settings : launches amlogic/mediatek settings app (if available)
Android settings : launches the Android stock settings
Engineering menu : launches the [MiTv/FengOs/Fengmi] engineering menu
Applications :
Remote Control : displays a QR code to my Web Remote Control, working on any device, dedicated to MiTv devices based on Android 6
Freeze stock apps [ROOT] : freezes/hides/disables stock apps/bloatware (for unrooted devices, please check below, in Remarks section, point 3). On MIUI, make sure you install another keyboard (ie "LeanbackIme Keyboard", from the "Install 3rd party apps" menu) as it will disable the stock one. Possibility to specify a package name to disable manually.
(Un)Freeze launchers [ROOT] : (un)freezes/hides stock Xiaomi TvHome, FengOs launcher or Google Leanback launcher. Make sure you have another compatible launcher installed before freezing it (for unrooted devices, please check below)
Install 3rd party apps : lets you choose apps to install. Most will require Aptoide Tv installed. Good news, it's able to download and install it automatically ! If your device is rooted and is on Android 6.01, Google services/apps can be installed too (see more in the Google Apps section) :victory:
Uninstall Google Apps [ROOT] : if you installed Google Apps / services with the feature described above, you can safely uninstall them (but why would you want that ?)
Freeze Google Play [ROOT] : prevents google Play self-update. This is useful on some models, where new Google Play app refuses to install apps due to some incompatibility issue (such as Zodiac)
System :
Accessibility Service : This is a multi-purpose service, that fixes Google Play on Googlized xiaomi devices, binds the stock remote control "Voice recognition" button to Google Assistant (if you installed Google Services), allows your device to automatically start an external input or app on boot, adds a shortcut to open these tools or change picture profile by double pressing the menu button... *** In one word : you want it enabled ***
Custom Props Override [ROOT/MAGISK] : changes some custom props so as to get a more stock Android Tv behavior. This will enable Google services disabled by Xiaomi, allow your "Usb debugging" option to stick across reboots, allow bypassing safetynet... If you install Google Services you need to install them.
About :
ProjecTivy Launcher : displays details about this app
This device : displays many details about this device, and temperature sensors values is available.
This wallpaper : shows details regarding the wallpaper currently displayed
Remarks :
Using any of the above features (even [ROOT] ones) should be safe and shouldn't prevent you from installing stock OTA updates afterwards (no system file is modified). If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to tell me, but anyways, at worst, factory reset or flashing the full stock ROM will fix any issue, so there isn't any risk of bricking your device.
Except if you have stock launcher or leanback launcher installed (which will force you to use them if installed), if multiple other compatible launchers are installed, a popup will ask your choice at each boot and home button press.
Concerning the (un)freeze apps/launcher, if your device is not rooted, this app currently can't do it automatically, but you can do it manually by connecting a computer to your device with ADB and executing a few command lines :
enable "usb debugging" in your device's "Developer" options (in settings) (to enable "developer options", see here)
Download adb for your OS (check here)
Start command line (terminal)
type adb connect IP_OF_YOUR_DEVICE:5555 to connect through the network
type adb shell to open a shell console
to freeze an app type : pm uninstall -k --user 0 PACKAGE (replace PACKAGE with com.mitv.tvhome for Xiaomi stock launcher, cn.formovie.fengos.desktop for FengOs launcher and com.google.android.leanbacklauncher for Google Leanback launcher)
to unfreeze an app type : cmd package install-existing PACKAGE (replace PACKAGE with the same value as above)
to get a list of manually uninstallable apps, check the rainman.v2.json file on my github
Note: seems that freezing Google TV Launcher on CCwGTV [4K/sabrina or HD/boreal], will stop YouTube login from occurring and will prevent YouTube account switching
Evolution : If you have another device and want this app to support it (meaning using another list of installable/uninstallable apps), don't hesitate to make a PR on my github.
Note on Privacy and Permissions usage
The only data that comes out of the phone is for anonymous usage (firebase analytics) in order to prioritize and improve what's used the most, and crash reporting (firebase crashlytics). Both can be disabled starting from 4.30.
No user data is saved on a private server of shared with any other 3rd party service.
Here are the permissions explicitely requested in Projectivy Launcher along with their usage :
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE : get information about current network (ex: statusbar icons, current device IP address)
- INTERNET : seems obvious
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (max sdk 28) : read a Projectivy config file that could be placed on the device before it's installed (for rooted devices)
- INSTALL_SHORTCUT : manage pinned shortcuts
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED : start an app on startup (Projectivy is probably the only Tv launcher supporting this)
- REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES (only on non play store version) : install 3rd party apps (ex: aptoide)
- REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES : allow users to delete apps
- READ_TV_LISTINGS : ability to show channels/watch next
- BILLING : to buy premium
A few other permissions are required by libs dependencies (mostly Google libs) :
READ_EPG_DATA/WRITE_EPG_DATA : Google tv channels lib
WAKE_LOCK, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE... : Google Firebase
There is also a Notification Listener service that can access your device notifications to display these notifications and now playing data *if enabled*
Last thing you can see that might freak you out : Projectivy can spy on your device activity : this is because of the Accessibility service (that offers a lot of low level insights, *if enabled*).
It's used :
- to launch apps on boot when manufacturers disabled the BOOT_COMPLETED (hello Xiaomi)
- for parental control
- for remote control button remapping
Premium
Premium version on Google Play will give you :
- ability to choose a custom background image
- unlimited parental control protected apps (only 1 in free version)
- unlimited display profiles (only 1 in free version) ***Only on supported devices (if it doesn't work on the free release, that won't change on premium)***
- the satisfaction of supporting this project
- more to come
As of now, this unfortunately can't be bought outside of Google Play because there doesn't seem to be any easy means of doing without taking too much of my time (managing a dedicated server, database, preventing hacks, managing refunds... none of this could be done until this becomes a full time job).
Known issues
- HDMI 1 and HDMI 3 swapped (FengOS, Vava on AmLogic devices) : on recent firmwares, HDMI1 and HDMI3 inputs are swapped in PL. This is a bug in the OS low level libs that send HDMI1 input id when HDMI3 is requested (and the opposite). Can't be easily detected (thus fixed) on my side unfortunately. Just select HDMI1 when you need HDMI3 and vice-versa.
- long press on volume buttons doesn't work on FengOs : there's a bug on FengOs -> as soon as an accessibility service is enabled (Projectivy Launcher, but also Button Mapper for example), the long press volume buttons doesn't work anymore. Worse : unlike any other button, the accessibility service is not notified that a volume button has been pressed, preventing me from developping a workaround :/ Disabling the accessibility service fixes this behavior (but this disables several Projectivy Launcher features)
- unable to add or remove programs from watch next (as on the stock android tv launcher) : the stock launcher has special permissions that allows it to modify "watch next" even if the programs belong to another app. This unfortunately can't be done on a 3rd party launcher

- improved image picker intent compatibility
Spoiler: 4.00
- *** UI / Design ***
- rebranded to "Projectivy Launcher" as this app is now first and foremost a launcher for any Android Tv device (luckily there's no marketing department or they would have made a heart attack by now ^^)
- refreshed the general app design
- improved customizability (change cards size, enable or disable section title display, app name display, opacity...)

- each feature/setting is now available in a side panel menu, that can be opened with your remote control's "menu" button or by clicking on the menu icon in the top right corner of the screen
- *** Compatibility / Performance ***
- vastly improved startup time
- optimized for smoothness/reactivity in general
- hugely decreased memory used
- added compatibility with old mitv3 (and more generally Android 5.1.1)
- many bugs fixed
- *** Features ***
- added ability to override the current launcher (the preferred way is still to freeze/uninstall it). This app will then automatically launch on boot and intercept calls to the stock launcher so as to start itself above it
- added parental control management (=requiring a code to start an app/input). This is by no means hacker proof, but kids/random guests should be stopped. [Premium for more than 1 app]
- parental control can be active only for a period of the day.
- prevent automatic system power off when idle
- added an internal idle detection with ability to shutdown after a specific inactivity time
- added ability to automatically shutdown if the HDMI input display app stops by itself (meaning no more HDMI signal). While not foolproof, this can handily replace a missing CEC shutdown function on your device
- added HDR / DV calibration patterns
- added an internal tv viewer to replace the vendor one. It doesn't support CEC (android limitation) but will allow more customization in the future
- "about / this device" now shows information regarding which display range is supported (HLG, HDR10, DV...)
- added a direct link to configure the accessibility service
- added ability to autostart on the "last used input"
- added ability to reinstall/unfreeze frozen packages/launchers [root]
- added remote control shortcut to change the current source input (double tap menu, then left/right)
- app self update support
- [FengOS] added a direct link to a second engineering menu (useful to get temperature logs)
- [FengOS] added a link to the input source popup
- [Mediatek] added a link to advanced configuration (advanced picture settings, MEMC with DV, and more...)
Spoiler: 3.56
- fix : fixed a bug in the display profiles structure binding them to the tools version they were created on (causing a reset of the profiles on each new release of the tools)
Warning : this version will reset your display profiles (even if you're coming from 3.55). Please make sure you've noted the values so that you can recreate them. Sorry for the inconvenience, this won't happen again.
Spoiler: 3.55
- feature : set sharpness step to 1 instead of 10 in display profile manager on MiTv devices
- feature : third party remote control buttons HDMI 1/2/3 and keyboard keys F1/F2/F3 are directly bound to HDMI input change (side effect : for home automation systems, sending adb keyevent KEYCODE_TV_INPUT_HDMI_3 will start input HDMI3 for example).
- feature : added ability to disable auto power off on user inactivity when cold booted (MiTv) [root]
- feature : display profile manager can now display HDMI inputs in calibration preview

Spoiler: 3.00
- rebranded app to "Mi ProjecTivy Tools" because why not.
- stability : added a screen resolution check at boot. If a wrong resolution is set in the Android tv settings, the device won't be locked on the chessboard screen anymore, it will switch back to the default resolution (rainman and batman supported)
- stability : set this app as a Tv Launcher, so if all launchers are mistakenly disabled, the device will boot on it so that a launcher can be reinstalled

- feature : added an option to change the zoom in/out factor for video display (external input and all media players)
- feature : added option to switch window manager to 4k (interface will likely not be totally fluid, though)
- feature : rewrote the option to decrease input lag so that you can disable "noise reduction" and "deinterlacing" individually
- feature : added a shortcut (qrcode) to MiReCo, the Web Remote Control
- feature : made the shortcuts section dynamic : it will now display all installed apps not natively compatible with Tv launchers (like the "Tv App Repo" app)
- feature : added "about this device" section that displays many details as well as the temperature sensors values
- improvement : made the hdmi input shortcuts compatible with international (android tv 8+) devices
- improvement : rewrote code to automatically start on a selected external input. This brings support for international models. IT WON'T USE the stock device settings anymore to select the input. Use the included parameter in "Input Settings"
- feature : added a shortcut to the stock "media explorer" directly in Tv launchers
- feature : added a warning if accessibility service is not enabled
- fix : fixed compatiblity with Netflix (not the Tv version, unfortunately, but the interface is totally usable). Due to missing DRM support, resolution is limited to SD.
- internal : many fixes and improvements (and bugs ?)
Spoiler: 2.17
- added ability to reduce input lag and disable noise reduction by long pressing "back" button.
Spoiler: 2.16
- added auto start to hdmi (as stock launcher), so that users who changed launcher won't miss this feature.
Updated to 4.01 to fix a bug preventing the "install 3rd party apps" section to be accessed.
Wow very impressive. The UI looks vastly improved. I just installed it on my Mi Projector 2 Pro and it looks really nice!
However I am still not getting the ability to adjust picture profile. Do I need to root it for it to work?
Very neat new UI, greetings!
@spocky12 , I just updated to your 4.0.1 , it seems like the previous intent is not valid anymore :

Thanks for your compliments. I spent literally hundreds hours of work to rewrite most of the UI code, improving it's customisability as well as it's efficiency.
For now, picture profiles will only work on mitv Android 6 devices.
On more recent Android versions :
- amlogic devices will require root (but we don't have any root method right now)
- mediatek devices (Fengmi T1, Xiaomi c2...) *might* be supported in the future

Thank you !
You're right, rewriting + refactoring led to changes in activity names:
com.spocky.projengmenu/.ui.guidedActions.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity
(Note that it might change again in the future as I've just realized they shouldn't be classified in the guidedActions, so don't hesitate to ask if an update changes it)
Big thanks, this is really excellent! Great to see the continued development into Projectivy.
I am running it on a rooted Wemax Pro. I have a few questions:
* Is Projectivy meant to replace ATV launcher? Or do both co-exist? How to select, which launcher to use?
* What's the latest on Youtube? Best to use the one that can be downloaded under 3rd party app or directly from the Google Play store? I tried to do via Productivy and get the error message "incompatible device. Please download another version of the application and try again, error code (-113)"
* I also tried to download PLEX from Google Play store and see the following error message: "Can't install app: Plex [...{ can't be installed. Try again, and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting (error code: 910)"
Thanks for any help you may have for me!
Please add Vava Chroma triple laser to the list of currently supported devices - it is a mediatek based device. Thanks.
One odd thing: "Input" is greyed out in "launcher settings". So, I cannot add the HDMI sources to the main screen. Anything I am missing?
Hi @spocky12 great job on the new app.
I've installed it on my Wemax One Pro, an issue that I am having is with Google Play store, which i cannot get to launch. When I click the icon the screen goes blank for a second and just returns to the launcher.
I also had the issue on the previous incarnation of the app.
I'm also running Magisk 24.3 and rooted.
I've deleted cache and also tried re-installed, still the same thing.
Great job. The only problems I see is missing option to select HDMI input and a option to restore hidden application. Maybe I can't find it

Projectivy is a complete launcher replacement. I suppose you can still use ATV if you prefer, there's nothing in Projectivy preventing the execution of any other launcher. How you choose which one you want depends on your OS. On mitv (and probably any stock Android tv device), if the stock launcher is disabled, Android asks which one you want.
On FengOs, they disabled this behavior, so if the stock launcher is disabled and no launcher is started, Projectivy starts automatically.
Regarding YouTube, if you have Google play, it is probably the best way to install it.
On Chinese devices without any Google services, installing from Aptoide usually works. However, I couldn't understand the compatibility issues between Aptoide and Xiaomi app installer : sometimes, a specific version of YouTube will install fine and others won't. And in the future it might stop installing correctly. The one I link to from Projectivy is the latest version that is allowed too install on my device without any error message (at least it was, 2 months ago). If it doesn't work, chances are that another one will install fine, just browse the available versions in Aptoide.
As for Plex, is probably an incompatibility with Xiaomi's app installer, no idea why it did this though.

This is probably a bug.
To prevent HDMI input section from being displayed on devices that don't have such inputs (ex: tv boxes), I hide this section when the Android tv framework is unavailable or when no HDMI input (plugged or not) is returned by the system.
I will test again on mitv devices, I might have overlooked something.

As written above, the hidden HDMI input section is a bug I need to explore (works fine on FengOs).
As for restoring a hidden app, you can do it : open the settings panel (contextual menu button on your remote control or select the settings icon next to the hour) and select the first entry (manage categories), then select the category where you want to restore an app.
Thanks @spocky12, happy to test once you have a test release with the HDMI issue solved? Also, let me know if any logs to provide for troubleshooting.
Hello , It can be installed on XIAOMI C2 ?
Thanks
Thanks. Loaded onto Feng OS 2.0.
@spocky12 I can't update apps anymore, each time I went into Google Play Store, it asked me to sign in. I signed on and the same page kept showing asking to sign in again.
I've updated to ProjectTivy 4 launcher but still same issue. Can anyone help?
Mijia Youth Edition (conan)
Hi, great job!
Hope you remember me....
Just a question:is there the possibilty to update android ? I'm still running with 6.0.1 and start to be a little obsolete.
Thanks!

Hi, im using my new HP BP5000 with a sucks custom OS in Android 8.0, codename: shadow / sugarcane (not sure which one to read from). Tried to enable accessibility services but it seems locked.
I was able to enable it by force write in adb for another app called "tvquickactions", but I got an error when I try to do that for this launcher with error below, can you help?
adb shell pm grant com.spocky.projengmenu android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS​Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Package com.spocky.projengmenu has not requested permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS​
Also I tried the hdmi switching adb command that you posted above, but I still got the same class error
adb.exe -s 192.168.1.100:5555 shell am start -n com.spocky.projengmenu/.ui.guidedActions.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity​Error type 3​Error: Activity class {com.spocky.projengmenu/com.spocky.projengmenu.ui.guidedActions.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity} does not exist.​
running 4.01, thanks for helping and creating this!
I just installed this on my Mi Smart Compact Projector (Gen 1, Global, M005MGN).
Great job on this slick UI ! Although I can't root this device to really tweak it, the features included in non-root Projectivy are plenty to suit my needs ATM.
Just a quick question before I start to mess with ADB. I see in your instructions that we can "freeze" packages, but your command is pm uninstall. Shouldn't I use pm disable, if I simply want to freeze(not remove) the package?
My concern is if I want to restore and I don't have the original package file handy, I will need to restore factory defaults to get it back and then I have to start all over. I was thinking DISABLE gives me a chance to see what I would be missing, and if I want the stock app back, I could just re-enable it.
Thanks for your work and response to my "noob" question.
Hi Spocky, great work as usual! The new version looks amazing. However, I would like to contribute and buy Premium, but I don't want any of the google bullsh*t. Any way to donate/get premium otherwise?
Thanks!
This app is a godsend. No other launcher can change inputs on me. Unfortunately on my TV the stock launcher is what starts the Input menu. I have to leave the launcher running in the background in order to use the input list.
Is it possible to add an input list internal to the app? The relevant activity is. https://github.com/AndroidTVDevelop...id/tvlauncher/inputs/InputsPanelActivity.java
Also please consider adding the ability to pin shortcuts. This way I can say take the apps page of settings and bind it to a button. Otherwise this is not possible, correct me if I'm wrong.

You sorta need to do both. Uninstal then user-disable again if you don't have root. You can reinstall the package again if its a system/rom app as it doesn't REALLY get removed.
