Installation
You MUST have a working custom recovery on your Kindle before attempting to install this ROM!
If you do not currently have one, try Hashcode's bootloader + TWRP.
The following instructions will get you to the latest version of Kinology. Note step 0b carefully - it determines whether you are "upgrading" (dirty-flash) or doing a clean install (wiping user data)!
Step 0 - Preparation:
If you are not currently running Kinology or Stock OS with TWRP 2.4.4.0, download Kinology-step0a-boot-7.3.0-twrp-2.4.4.0.zip. This will flash four items: stock 7.3.0 xloader, stock 7.2.3 bootloader, Freedom boot/kernel 7.3.0, and TWRP recovery 2.4.4.0.
If you want to do a clean install, download Kinology-step0b-wipedata.zip. If you want to keep your user apps and their data, do NOT include this file. Flashing this will wipe out EVERYTHING except the internal storage (sdcard). It will, however, move your currently installed apps (but not their data) to the sdcard at Kinology/AppBackup. Don't forget to delete the AppBackup folder to free up some space once you no longer need it.
Step 1 - Amazon OS:
Download Kinology-step1a-amazonos-7.3.1.zip, Kinology-step1b-amazonos-7.3.1.zip, and Kinology-step1c-amazonos-7.3.1.zip.
If you skip to step 4, you will have a stock 7.3.1 OS, unrooted, but with a custom recovery.
Step 2 - Kinology:
Download Kinology-step2-kinology-2.0.1.zip.
If you skip to step 4, you will have the base Amazon OS with all Kinology features, but no Google Framework or Apps.
Step 3 - Google Apps:
Download Kinology-step3-google-20130425.zip.
This step gives you the full Kinology Experience!
Step 4 - Flash:
Transfer all downloaded zip files to your Kindle's storage
Reboot into TWRP Recovery
Choose "Install"
Select the first zip file you downloaded
Choose "Add More Zips"
Select each zip file you downloaded in order and repeat until all files are queued
Swipe to Confirm Flash
Choose "Reboot System"
As this is a deodexed custom ROM, the first boot will take extra time to complete while it regenerates the Dalvik cache.
Additionally, if you did a clean install, please reboot your Kindle the first time you get to the "Choose your language" screen. After a clean install, Kinology needs to do some configuration that can only happen during the second boot. If you did not reboot during setup, don't worry, nothing is permanently broken - just be aware that you may experience FCs or other oddities until you reboot.

Advanced Configuration
There are a few behind-the-scenes boot-time options that can be configured through files located at /sdcard/Kinology.
OTA updates:
The packages used for OTA updates can be enabled or disabled at boot time. Just rename the file to either "ota-disable" or "ota-enable" and reboot your Kindle. It is, of course, highly recommended to leave OTA disabled, as an Amazon-triggered updated would wipe out most, if not all, of Kinology from your device.
ADB root access:
By default, ADB uses the 'root' account, and then immediately drops to the 'shell' account. This custom ROM injects a version of adbd that does not drop to the shell account. To change this behavior, rename the file to either "adbd-root" or "adbd-shell" and reboot your Kindle.
Automatic ZipAlign:
This behavior can be changed by renaming the file to either "za-enable" or "za-disable".

Known Issues
The Recents dialog doesn't accept touches when launched from a full-screen app. The workaround is to pull down the notification window first, then long-press the home icon.
So far, I have been unsuccessful at finding a fix for this.
Updating the Amazon Mobile (Tablet) app from the Play Store will cause the "Shop" link on Amazon's Launcher to stop working. There is no workaround - despite being marked as an update, these two apps are not equivalent. If you do accidentally update the app, just use Google Play Store to uninstall the update and everything will return to normal.
This cannot be fixed due to the two apps sharing the same Android identifier.
If no accounts have been added yet, the Accounts & Sync page is completely blank. Just press the menu button to add an account.
While awkward, this is the intended behavior.
If the first Google account is added by launching Play Store, you may need to wipe Play Store's data before the "My Apps" page will work properly. The workaround is to add your account through Account & Sync settings, or by launching Gmail or Talk instead.
This will not be fixed, as it seems to be a bug in the Play Store / Google Framework interaction.
The Amazon Accessibility options override the advanced options. For example, if you enable LockerPro in the advanced options, then change the Voice Guide setting from the main options, LockerPro will become disabled.
This will not be "fixed." The Amazon options are left available so that the accessibility options can easily be reset to an Amazon standard configuration.
If an app attempts to launch Accessibility options, it will FC (the intent listener is missing from Settings). You will simply need to go to Advanced Settings in Accessibility and enable the service in question manually.
Still investigating fixes for this.
Amazon's Keyboard options handling is absurd. For english users, "English (US)" is AOSP and "English (United States)" is Swype (similar for UK). For other languages you'll probably need to try the available options to figure out which is which - the order seems to be somewhat random.
I may look into changing the keyboard selector, but it is not a high priority.
Voice/Video chat functionality in Google+ Hangouts and Google Talk does not work. Attempting to use it may cause your Kindle to become unstable until rebooted (something wreaks havoc with the audio system).
This cannot currently be fixed. Someone out there please prove me wrong!
If there are lots of notifications, the icons will overlap the clock.
I don't intend to fix this, as the effort involved just isn't worth it. It's also fairly common to encounter this bug in any Android ROM that uses a centered clock.
Facelock does not work with a PIN set. It does, however, work correctly if you use a Pattern instead.
This is probably fixable, I just need to track down where exactly in the code the PIN is overriding Facelock.
Change Log
2.0.1 - 2013/04/20:
Updated the base OS to 7.3.1.
2.0 - Not publicly released:
Updated the base OS to 7.3.0.
Host file ad-blocking is no longer enabled by default. If you want this, enable it in the AdAway app that is now included. If you don't, feel free to uninstall AdAway.
The status bar now shows notification icons instead of the "My Kindle" text.
The lowest four brightness settings are now usable.
The menu button on the Navbar should now be present in all non-Amazon apps. Some apps fail to request it, and it sometimes get confused on its own. This change does add a bit of visual clutter but should prevent all of those "where'd the menu go?" moments. Note that Amazon apps will continue to do whatever they want with the Navbar buttons as they tend to crash if they don't get their way.
App suppression has been removed from Amazon's Launcher (Home). This allows you to launch things like Amazon MP3 or the App Store from their icons instead of from the menus. It also allows you to add them to the favorites window.
The certificate fixing process now only happens during Kinology's install process, so apps won't suddenly stop working if they're using generic certs.
Most recent Amazon apps integrated with the system (includes Kindle Free Time).
Gmail, Google Play, and GmsCore updated to the most recent versions.
Completely overhauled the installation process. Boot/Recovery are also now included.
1.1 - 2013/03/03:
Modified AOSP Keyboard to have a right-side margin so that the keys are no longer under the NavBar in landscape mode
Disabled scrolling cache for smoother scrolling
Disabled standard lockscreen when a secure one is enabled
Modified Bluetooth sharing to receive all file types
Modified hosts file so that BBC iPlayer can function properly
Fixed some missing libs that caused video to not play in Amazon Video app
Fixed UnifiedSearch FC (it may still FC after a fresh install, but will be fixed at the next reboot)
Modified the boot-time OTA disabler to speed up the boot process a tiny bit
Modified the Kinology version display on the About page
Integrated DSPManager from CM9
Integrated latest SuperSu (1.25)
Replaced CalendarProvider with the AOSP version to fix Google calendar corruption at boot
Updated GApps to include FaceLock, Feedback, MediaUploader, and the latest GmsCore
1.0.1 - 2013/02/26:
Added CM9 Keyboard
Added Kinology version, Select Screen Lock, and Advanced Accessiblity settings
1.0 - 2013/02/23:
Initial release

Installation
You MUST have Hashcode's bootloader on your tablet before attempting to install this ROM!
If you do not currently have Hashcode's bootloader installed, STOP and read the previous line. Kinology does not include a kernel or bootloader as part of the installation. The install scripts rely on you reading the previous line.
In order to reduce the size of downloads for future updates, Kinology is distributed in four parts plus gapps - a total of five parts. You must download all five parts to install the first time (at least if you want the feature set above - technically, gapps are optional). Parts 1 - 4 are not designed to install separately - they must be installed as outlined below. Part five can be installed at any time, but it is recommended to simply include it in the procedure below.
Procedure:
Transfer all five zip files to your Kindle's storage
Reboot into TWRP Recovery
Choose "Install"
Select the part1 zip file
Choose "Add More Zips"
Select the next part zip file
... repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of the zips, in order
Swipe to Confirm Flash
Choose "Reboot System"
As this is a deodexed custom ROM, the first boot will take extra time to complete while it regenerates the Dalvik cache.

Re: [ROM][KFHD7][7.2.3] Kinology 1.0
So now that you've enabled accessibility, can I use lockerpro for example? Would love to know... downloading meanwhile, but answer please. Tha ks for your work btw! First ROM for HD7 !

We are waiting almost one month, after hashcode's TWRP release!

What's the link between accessibility and LockerPro?
Edit: I suspect you're looking for the option to disable the built in Kindle lockscreen? If so, I'm afraid I missed that option for version 1.0. I've already added it to the security settings though, and will release a flash patch tomorrow.
Re: [ROM][KFHD7][7.2.3] Kinology 1.0
You need to check LockerPro in accessibility settings in order to get notificstions to the lockscreen. Basically, I want to hamdle notifications and accessibility is used for it (at least in normal ics)

Thanks for the explanation. In LockerPro lite, it currently shows "Service Inactive" under "Accessibility Service" and clicking it causes LockerPro to FC. I'll investigate that and see if there's anything I can do.

Looks like Amazon completely ripped out the normal Accessibility Services configuration in favor of their Voice Guide / Explore By Touch service (which is actually pretty neat). Unfortunately, that means I'll have to try to re-import the normal ICS settings through smali, which will take some time if even successful.
flash went ok
seems like what im looking for of the rip post in a day or two about bugs likes dislikes and battery life keep up the good work:highfive:

Running great, loving the little touches here and there, and seems much smoother over stock but that might just be placebo. Running governor/io at interactive/noop and battery drain while sleeping seems about the same as stock which is great but really too early to tell.
No complaints here but if I could be so bold, would you include the cyanogenmod keyboard for a future release? I've already taken that liberty with my own but I'm sure many more would appreciate it. All in all I would recommend this to everyone looking to get a bit more from their kindles.
Keep up the awesome work.

As you may know, I often create modifications for Android and rather than them ending up all over the place, I'm now adding them to the 'MoDaCo Toolkit', which is built to use the Xposed Framework - http://mdc.gd/xposedfw. I plan on updating this every time I come up with a new tweak, be it a generic Android modification or specific to a particular device.
The pre-requisites are as follows:
You MUST be rooted
You MUST have the Xposed Framework installed and active
You MUST accept that modifications are used at your own risk
You may NOT distribute the toolkit (including in custom ROMs) - link back to this topic
Hit the 'Follow' button at the top right of the main MoDaCo Tookit topic to be notified of updates
Got that? OK.
The Toolkit can be downloaded in the main Xposed Toolkit thread here.
To use, simply download and install, enable the module in 'Xposed settings' and then enable the mods you want in the 'MoDaCo Toolkit' application. Note that most modifications will require a reboot to take effect and not all modifications will work on all devices!
Modifications currently included are:
Action Launcher Pro + HTC One: Transparent status bar.
Amazon MP3: Force US locale - use this if cloud player is not yet available in your country. Clear data on Amazon MP3 after enabling.
Facebook: Force Home Compatibility: Facebook will detect your device as Facebook Home compatible.
Google: Disable Wallet checks - remove region and root checks from Google Wallet.
Google: Force Play Store to 720P - your device will appear as a 720P device to the store, useful if apps are missing on your 1080P device.
Google: Prevent app disabling - apps from outside your region (e.g. Wallet, Sound Search) will not be disabled on startup.
Google Nexus 7: Show Camera in launcher - restore the missing Camera icon to the launcher.
Google Nexus (all): Disable safe volume warning.
Google Nexus (all): Enable multi-user support if unsupported on stock (e.g. Nexus 4).
Google Nexus (all): Enable advanced reboot options - aka EPM, show reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu.
Google Nexus (all): Show user on power menu - this allows you to switch users using the long-press power menu.
HTC First: Hide carrier in status bar - stop the carrier name showing in the top left.
HTC One: Disable high volume warning - disable the volume warning that shows when cranking up the sound with headphones in.
HTC One: Enable ADB with secure lockscreen - ADB WILL NOT be disabled on boot if the device has a secure lockscreen configuration. DANGER: This is a potential security risk - handle with care!
HTC One: Enable advanced reboot options - aka EPM, show reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu.
HTC One: Enable button options (only required on Android 4.1 ROMs) - the button options item will appear in settings, allowing you to configure the back button long press as menu.
HTC One: Volume wake - wake your device with the volume keys!
HTC One: Hide Kid Mode on power menu - this removes the Kid Mode option on the menu displayed when you long press the power button.
HTC One: Match battery image to % - the standard battery images don't correspond to the % remaining, this fixes that.
HTC One: Rename Flashlight to Torch - for us UK types.
HTC One: Show Blinkfeed icon in launcher - if you are using a third party launcher, this provides a simple way to access Blinkfeed. Just remove all the homescreens.
Pebble: Low priority notification (removes persistent icon).
SlingPlayer: Disable legacy hardware warning - remove the warning when connecting to older Slingboxes.
System: Allow all rotations - rotation will be allowed in all directions, even upside down.
System: Device properties - a number of device properties (normally read from build.prop) can be changed on the fly. BOARD, BRAND, DEVICE, MODEL and PRODUCT are included initially. Want others? Let me know!
System: Disable forward lock - apps will not be able to install to /mnt/asec, instead installing to /data/app. NOTE: May cause issues on some Samsung devices.
System: Enable action bar menu button - the software menu button will be displayed even if you have a hardware menu button.
System: Enable app buttons - the disable and notification options will be enabled for system apps.
System: Enable dreams service - enable the dreams screensaver service.
System: Enable lock screen rotation - if your device supports it, this will allow lock screen use in landscape.
System UI: Custom operator name.
System UI: Hide AM/PM on clock - hide the AM/PM indicator on the clock when not in 24H mode.
System UI: Hide battery meter - hide the battery meter, useful if you're using a third party app in the notification bar like Battery Widget Reborn (now also supports the HTC One!) or battery percentage.
System UI: Hide ongoing IME switcher - hide on the input method switch prompt.
System UI: Show battery percentage - show the remaining battery percentage next to the clock.
System UI: Show navigation bar - this allows you to show the navigation bar on supported devices.
Trackball Alert: Easy download link - easily download the TBA app and Xposed module.
Wireless: Enable NFC when screen is off - NFC works when the screen is off, useful for NFC launch tasks.
Wireless: Enable Face Lock with VPN - VPN (Credential Storage) will be available with Face Lock security.
If you have specific tweak requests or general questions, please visit http://mdc.gd/modacotoolkit
Note that special steps are required to activate the Xposed framework on the HTC One - see http://mdc.gd/xposedfwone for further details.
Big thanks go out to rovo89 for the framework and also to Bharath Prabhuswamy for the application icon.

Came to know via AP. I shall post the same thing here:
In my GS2 running CM10.1 I could see the "user" in settings. Was able to create a new user. But there was no way I could switch users. And even after enabling the option under "Google Nexus (all) I couldn't see the users under power menu. Bummer.
Thankfully the OS loaded with main user when I simply rebooted. Else I would have been stuck in void with test user!

Does anyone have this running successfully on their T-Moblie Note II? I'm running Jedi Master 13, upgraded the Xposed Framework to version to 2.1.4, and installed and activated this toolkit. However, none of the features seem to work. For example, enabling the NFC while screen off does nothing. I even tried the Google Wallet mod, and still, nothing. Thanks!
Version 22 is online. This is a major update with a lot of new features as a direct result of user requests! Want something that's not included? Post on the main MoDaCo Toolkit post on MoDaCo to request!
Changes in this release (not that, as always, not all mods will function on all devices due to ROM variations):
Bug fix: removed reporting dialog after reboot on HTC One
Change: Modified wording of several options
Removed module: Play Store: Lower case wishlist menu (no longer required)
New module: System: Enable lock screen rotation
New module: System UI: Show navigation bar
New module: System: Enable dreams service
New module: System UI: Hide ongoing IME switcher
New module: System UI: Hide AM/PM on clock
New module: HTC One: Disable Sprint SystemUI flag (should remove persistent GPS icon)
New module: HTC One: Volume wake
New module: Nexus (all): EPM (reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu)
Download via the first post or using the in app updater (simply launch the MoDaCo Toolkit settings app to initiate a background update check). Enjoy - there are even more great mods to come too!

Hi man,
Thanks for this cool module. Unfortunately the two tweaks I tried to apply on my device did not work. The mods in question are "enable dreams service" and "show battery percentage." I followed the usual Xposed routine of install, enable module, reboot, enable tweaks within module, and reboot, but nothing. Lmk if I'm missing something or doing something wrong or if I can provide you with any logs or further information. Will be looking forward to the next update :highfive:!
Version 23 is now online!
Improvements: Changed handling of module code on incompatible devices, HTC One volume wake now works from deep sleep, NFC with screen off now works on HTC One, resolved issue with Nexus EPM.
Removed module: Sprint flag (more tweaks for Sprint / AT&T One devices to follow).
New module: Nexus (all): Disable safe volume warning.
Enjoy!

Its a 7" Dragon Touch tablet (see my signature for more info). lmk if i can provide any other info or logs.
This toolkit is absolutely great; now I finally can use face unlock even though my device is encrypted and wouldn't allow me to use that otherwise. Thanks for the great work!!
One question: Does anyone here know a mod that deactivates the annoying "Battery Low!" popups that appear as soon as the battery reaches 14% and then 4%? For me to disable these is my top priority right now (actually I found this mod because I read that it has some battery related options... turned out to be the battery percentage in the UI). These notifications are just bad, especially when you are currently playing an online multiplayer game and they come up in the middle of the action and basically stop you from moving at all for a couple of seconds... I know there's a tool for the galaxy S3 that disables these, but I don't have a galaxy s3, I've got a Nexus 7
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for your reply! The tweakbox says it's for ICS and it appears in the SGS3 thread, but I downloaded it and will try it anyway. Inside the app there is an info saying that a lot of features should be compatible with other ROMs as well... my battery level is at 30% right now, I will try to drain 15% and check if the battery warning comes up!
edit: it seems to work - thank you so much, now I've got everything I wanted!
hi , please can you add , wake up with volume button for galaxy S3 , tks a lot
Paul,
I installed your toolkit on my HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD) a while back when you were running a coupon code....I'm already using other xposed modules but for whatever reason the modaco toolkit did not show up in the list of modules...it shows in settings/apps but if there is supposed to be an icon in apps that is also missing. Any thoughts on how I might "activate" it?
Version 24 is now online!
New in version 24:
Fixed: Hide kid mode and volume wake now work on HTC One 4.2.2 ROMs.
New module: Action Launcher Pro + HTC One: Transparent status bar
New module: System UI: Custom operator name
New module: Pebble: Low priority notification (removes persistent icon).
Enjoy!

Download Firmware 3.1: https://yadi.sk/d/m-9qQV6t3ScVDL
New from 05 June 2018, Firmware No. 4.0
+ The firmware is made on the basis of the factory firmware from 04/26/2018.
+ The new PCRadio mod from Duk (transparent, with a power button)
+ Updated the module for Xposed from MVG-V70 (4pda) xposed-mtce-utils (thanks to the eum for adapting it for soya firmware)
+ Added a module for Xposed from graser (4pda) dasaita-xposed (thanks to him for the module)
+ Multiple fixes and additions to the firmware
+ Redesigned bluetooth application with the panel and without it (found in the OEM application)

Change screen from analog clock to digital - click on the screensaver for 3-4 seconds.

+ New version of ViperFX
+ New version of EasyConnected (located in the OEM application in the app folder)
+ another ....
All mod. applications are in the OEM application
If you lose the clock in the status bar, then you need to go to Settings - User Settings - Clock settings in the status bar and there to specify any color of the clock.
Do not forget to copy the folder mtce-utils (is in the archive together with the firmware) after installing the firmware on the internal memory card (sdcard) and activate all modules in Xposed.
I strongly recommend installing the firmware with full data cleaning (Wipe Data), because Many files have been moved and may not work properly after a regular update.
The correct operation of the built-in modules for Xposed is possible only on my mod applications Radio, Music, Bluetooth, Screensaver. All of them are in the OEM application in the ModApk/ 1 Malaysk MOD folder and in the ScreenClock Malaysk folder.
Download Firmware 4.0: https://yadi.sk/d/o5xGdE6p3X9vqT
New from 11 June 2018, Firmware No. 4.1
Who installed the firmware No.4.0, then you can install it with a simple update, without deleting the data (but if you updated it to the manual module xposed-mtce-utils, before you install the update, go to Settings - Programs - xposed-mtce-utils, click on three vertical dots in right upper corner and delete the Update module), for all others I recommend installing with full data cleaning (Wipe Data).
+ Two screensavers MTCScreenClock_No_Transparent and MTCScreenClock_Transparent (found in the OEM application) are redone - a graphic equalizer is added (choice is the upper right button) and a temperature display is added from the canbas (I need to check, I do not have such in the device)

Released online firmware update 5.2.
1. Fixed the operation of the Navigation and MODE buttons.

3. You can customize the Launcher New Style in Settings - Custom Settings - Launcher Settings.
4. Added Greek, Romanian, Turkish languages to User settings.

So far it works only in one screensaver, which is located in the OEM application, in the ScreenClock Malay folder - MTCScreenClock_2_Digital_Clock_STYLE_KMH and MTCScreenClock_2_Digital_Clock_STYLE_MPH.
In the next firmware upgrade, this will work on all screensavers.

I think that this firmware is right for you, it's really strange why you have 1 GB of memory
I'm running an Eonon px3 model (GA8163.) I'll try to get this installed tomorow.
I'm hoping that it:
Runs slightly faster.
Audio stops muting for 1 second randomly.
Stock equalizer properly delivers mid and low range bass. (Looks like the same stock app.... I currently have to load a bass booster app every time to correct it.)

Greetings from Canada
I'm looking very forward to this with my Eonon GA8163 for Mazda 3 2011.
The wifi is pretty slow, system is also getting slower.. although I haven't done much.
I would also like the bluetooth to accept connections from other devices such as a keyboard, game pad or anything else.
Never flashed a Android before. I wonder if it could fix any of those issues.
Hello Malaysk,
first thank you for your work.
I have a few questions:
-Is the "Shutdown when ACC off" function integrated ? (Auto Sleep, 30 Sek., 5 Min., ...)
-Is the "Widget-Problem" fixt ? No function after cold reboot?
-FM-Station-Names can be stored permanently?
-Runs the TASKER-App automatically after cold reboot, when installed?
Thanks in advance
Papa-Shango
Wow!!
Malaysk, getting into recovery is not needed, right? We can just extract rar, place the nupdate.img on a USB or SD card and flash from settings, right? Did you mean that we should know how to get into recovery if something goes wrong?
Cheers,
Rahul U S
Awesome. Thanks for your time/effort Malaysk :highfive:
This looks to be just what I need for my Xtrons PA77AA3P
Now just need to wait for download to become available again...
Nice work bro!
ROM installs OK for me on an Xtrons PA77AA3P unit.
Not had a chance to play really as it is late right now...
A few notes from me as I have not used any android device for the last few years:
I just connected the media and got an autorun prompt and proceeded as per the screenshot
It will take about 30 mins or so to complete the update process, after install/erase the unit will sit on logo screen for ages...
I think DAB+ app is missing but have seen some posts about an improved patched version somewhere on here...
Need to have a proper look/play tomorrow...

I cannot set my device into recovery, too (holding reset for some seconds just resets the unit). Anyways having a recovery option would be fine if anything goes wrong.
I am hoping by Thursday I will be able to test it on my XRC (Hizpo branded) and possibly my GFs WWW (Eonon Branded).
I flashed this on my XRC unit with NO issues. Fantastic! Will play with it more.
@Malaysk, Can you add an option to auto hide the status bar/notification bar? We should be able to unhide the status bar by swiping down from top or using the back buttom.

While the device is on, press and hold on to the power button for about 15-20 seconds or more until it reboots. It may reboot into recovery mode now. Please try and see if this works for you (assuming that you have physical power button)

Hello Malaysk,
first thank you for your work.
I have a few questions:
-Is the "Shutdown when ACC off" function integrated ? (Auto Sleep, 30 Sek., 5 Min., ...)
-Is the "Widget-Problem" fixt ? No function after cold reboot?
-FM-Station-Names can be stored permanently?
-Runs the TASKER-App automatically after cold reboot, when installed?
Thanks in advance

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

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)

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

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

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
Download / Installation
This app can be downloaded here or installed from Google Play.
Install the apk as usual :
- copy the apk to an usb thumb drive
- plug it into your device
- browse and select apk to install it (you may need to enable "unknown sources installation" from your device's settings)
Not for commercial use. If you want to redistribute it, please contact me.

- 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...)

- optimized for smoothness/reactivity in general
- hugely decreased memory used
- added compatibility with old mitv3 (and more generally Android 5.1.1)

- 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

- [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
- fix : "android" display profile incorrectly applied on projector startup

- did I mention display profiles don't require root on Android 6 ?
- ...and should work on most amlogic devices (xiaomi, vava, xgimi...), at least on android 6 devices ?
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
- UI : made menu buttons dynamic, so they won't show on your device if the feature is not supported
- UI : rewrote all submenu interface to use Android Tv UI. This vastly improved look and usability
- UI : changed menu icons
- UI : if accessibility service is running, the app can be opened by double pressing the "menu" button
- 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 :
C:\RFLINK>.\adb.exe -s 192.168.1.123:5555 shell am start -n com.spocky.projengmenu/.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity

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.

Did you test Projectivy on this device ? If so, what are the problems you encountered ?

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?

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.

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.

I'll have a look at it, thanks for the bug report.

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

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?

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_SETTINGSOperation 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.SourceHDMI1ActivityError type 3Error: 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.
