With all the new apps and wireless technologies available now, is there a way to get the same "cast" functionality going through an XBOX connected [not smart]TV with your phone?
I have a stock/unrooted Samsung Note 3 and XBOX 360 and want to mirror my phones screen and control some apps like you can with the Chromecast, mainly a web browser on the XBOX.
Thank you for any help!!
Hi all,
I just received my CS968 last night and while everything works quite well, the interface for android is definitely built for touch. How do you work around this with only having a remote? Any apps you recommend?
For example, how do I drag/rearrange icons around on the "desktop"?
Are there alternatives to the stock launcher that's better for a media player device? TVLauncher 2.0 seemed to be the launcher everyone used but the developer seems to have abandoned it.
Also, apps like Hulu and Netflix seem to require switching to "mouse" mode on the remote to navigate or in the case of netflix, play a tv episode. Any suggestions for workarounds?
Thanks.
Get an air mouse/keyboard, I like the Mele F10 Pro and the Measy RC11

Exactly. Air mouse with keyboard is the key. F10 and RC11(personally use one) are IMO the best. Of course you can plug a keyboard and a mouse too.

Its posible to make zoom-in zoom-out (Like I can do with two simultaneus touch on a phone) ?
you can plug in a normal mouse in the otg usb port and use this as in a PC, you can drag zoom as you wish
A good thing about Android is that you have a more powerful system than what you get from an Apple TV, but sometimes all you want is a set-top box, that can be as simple to control as that Apple TV, My guess is that Android TV is more or less set up to be controlled exclusively with a remote, and that's what many of us really want.

Well, its what our wives want
Android on a tv using a remote/mouse thing isn't wife friendly. (no offence to female tech heads )
Hi there. I currently have a Lenovo Android tablet and a Chromecast. I also happen to like playing games on my device.
I would like to ask for recommendations and advice for a bluetooth game controller that i can pair and use with my Android device(s) please.
Many thanks.

the DualShock® 3 (or 4) Wireless Controller would be good. you will need a program called sixaxis controller
you could also try usb otg cable if you plan to get a usb game contoller

Solved!
Hey, i recently purchased a nexbox a95x tv box.
but i have one issue the supplied remote does not work with hulu, it works with keyboard and mouse or the mouse button on the remote but that is slow.
The hulu app for fire tv works with the fire tv remote so it should be possible on a tv box, although the fire remote isnt i.r.
The box has android 5.1 with root i believe, if anybody has any suggestions that would be great.
I have another on order, that i am looking to develope a bit with, android 6.0 with leanback hopefully...

Update:
I found the reason hulu will not work, the hulu downloaded from play store is the touch version
Went and downloaded Hulu for android tv and all is great, now onto more enjoyable things...
Hello Everyone, i bought the device and have some questions about it:
Did anyone tested bluetooth controllers with it? I have a ultimate bluetooth controller from 8bitdo, device connect and can see him but i can't use it for play games on emulators and i don't know why...For example Aethersx2 don't show me the controller like it`s not listed anywhere.
On the bluetooth configs it is showing pro controller conected but i cant use it.
What is the best option for use streaming with FullHD? it`s best to install a custom rom? If yes wich is recommended?
