Description
Simple music control widget capable of hiding itself while there is no track playing. It is designed to be used with WidgetLocker Lockscreen, however it is possible to use it on your homescreen as well.
Why would I code something like this?
I have switched from Sense to CyanogenMod, and I just hated its lockscreen. So I installed WidgetLocker, and set it up so it looks and behaves like HTC Sense lockscreen. However, I missed some decent music control, because all the widgets made me start playback in my pocket when I did not wanted to. So I just coded my own widget able to hide itself when there is no active playback. Since there is a lot of users with various requests, I am working on support of more players all the time.

1.1:
Fixed player detection and switching (restart no longer needed)
would it be possible to add support for music mod?
my phone has music mod instead of the stock music player, but it doesn't work with your widget.
i've actually been looking for a widget like this for a while.
Actually, I do have modded stock player (bundled with CyanogenMod), and one of my testers has Music MOD installed along with Sense player, and it works for both of us. Have you tried switching between auto-detection and Android player in widget settings? And most importantly - do you have 1.1 upgrade from Market?
got the latest version of the widget, tried all the widget's settings, even tried removing the pre-installed music-mod and re-installing it from market.
it still doesn't detect music-mod.
EDIT: problem seems to only occur with music-mod 1.8, perhaps because that one is designed to be installed next to the stock music player rather than replacing it.
got it working for now with a music-mod 1.7.5.2
EDIT2: just thought of 2 things that might make the widget even better:
1: let the user set the time-out in seconds using a text(number) entry box(if possible one with arrow buttons like the alarm clock and calendar apps), rather than a slide.
i find 1 minute to be too long, and immediate too quick.
2: allow the user to set an action when the widget is touched in it's hidden state, a few possible actions: do nothing(like it's now), launch music player, play/unpause music, reveal widget for a short time.
great idea, kudos!
I wish this were able to be implemented into other players, as I use PowerAMP.
But I love the idea, I always wanted a feature like this so I didn't have my PowerAMP music widget displayed on my lockscreen at all times.
Pls, add support for Music Mod 1.8
Thanks for the great ideas! I will focus on following:
- Install Music Mod 1.8.0 and analyse what is going on there
- Hiding the widget on unlock the way HTC lockscreen does it
- Change the slider to shorter intervals
- Short reveal of the widget on touch
New version released for your pleasure
Changelog
1.2:
- Compatible with new versions of Music Mod (1.8+)
- Possibility to hide widget on WidgetLocker unlock (such as HTC Sense lockscreen does it) - please note that it might be delayed
- Possibility to reveal the hidden widget on touch for a while
- Delay can be set to shorter intervals now
thanks, works great.
still keeping music-mod 1.7.5.2 though, because it acts more stock than 1.8.
i did notice the widget interferes with itself, but it's not that big of a problem.
when you use the widget on multiple screens(so either on 2 homescreen pages, or on your homescreen and on widgetlocker) pressing play/pause on one of the widgets doesn't trigger a hide/reveal on the other.
but i think fixing that would require an underlying service which would also mean redoing a lot of your work.
Yeah, unfortunately, the widget is not designed for more than one instance :-(. But sice it's designed specifically for WidgetLocker, I guess you can just use some full-featured widget (Pure Music, Music Mod, etc.) in your launcher, just as I do .
Awesome stuff. I actually thought of this a while back but I can't program for toffee - really cool to see someone else came up with the idea
Thank you.
i like it's new look. hope that in near future that it can change its background to transparent. and not working on stock music player on galaxy S

It is not compatible with Samsung (I am working on it).
Why would I code something like this?
I missed some decent music control, because all the widgets made me start playback in my pocket when I did not wanted to. So I just coded my own widget able to hide itself when there is no active playback.
Click to expand...

Hi, I have Samsung and widgetlocker (currently uninstalled because of previous battery life issues, but it's been a few months so I should test again), so I'm interested in this but obviously not able to help with feedback. I thank you for getting on the Samsung coding.
I do have two questions, what happened with the widgets with playback in your pocket and why? Was your phone/screen activating itself/turning on > your leg would touch the widget > suddenly have music playing? Am I understanding correct?
Second, and I think this is a dumb question, but I'll ask anyways. This will take up the space for the widget whether the widget is hidden or not, right? So, nothing could be underneath (probably a bad term) which will be in the foreground when the widget is hidden, right? I think that's maybe impossible, but definitely cool if possible, I'd have no problem with this going on top of something like power control when I have music on. Just a dumb thought.
Can't wait to try it out.
randomelements: Thanks. I actually thought about this for a while, but it took me some time to get my ass up and code it .
munwaioblivious: There will be possibility to turn the background off. I did not even want it there, but it seemed to be a good way to support all possible wallpapers for the beginning. However, I am still clueless about the Samsung player.
alovell83: The problem was, that my phone kept waking itself up via buttons and when the display was up, it had no hard time to control the playback. So i was just pressing Play/Next in my pocket by my leg. To address your other question: it is not possible to cover one widget with another. The slots (4x1) are taken all the time, even while the widget is hidden.
Make it compatible with winamp and a bit darker background and it will fit perfect with minimalistic text widget
AFAIK Winamp still does not have any open service interface :-(. However, backgrounds will be a little more variable in following versions.
I was working on a minimalist look on my phone and couldn't find a proper widget for the music player. Stock widgets and Pure Music weren't enough.
So in the end, I had to wait 24h to find a solution. What took you so long ?
THANK YOU, this is perfect !
beyondpod
I use beyondpod for my podcasts.
Can your widget control beyondpod too? I would love that functionality...
Will keep an eye on this, need it working with PowerAmp!

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

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.

Spoiler: 4.01
- fixed a bug preventing permission to be granted to "install 3rd party apps"
- 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...)
- added ability to create/manage/reorder categories
- each card (app, setting, input) can be managed through its contextual menu
- display randomized wallpapers (changes each 60s)
- user-defined wallpapers [Premium]
- a randomized wallpaper can be defined as the user-defined one [Premium]
- dynamic colors based on your current wallpaper (à la "Material You" on Android 12)
- apps are now correctly sorted by name by default
- HDMI inputs can be renamed and hidden
- added languages : German (thanks Stefan), French (thanks Spocky ) - contact me if you want to help translating to your language. If your android settings don't allow you to choose this language (ex : on most chinese Xiaomi projectors), install MoreLocale from "Install 3rd party apps" section
- 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
- fix : "android" display profile incorrectly applied on projector startup
- fix : some apps were not available in autostart app dropdown menu
- fix : crash when no display profile available
- fix : crash when starting some activities
- fix : autostart app not always working on FengOs
- fix : "install 3rd party apps" option not always available when it should
Spoiler: 3.54
- rebranded app (yes, again ) to "ProjecTivy Tools". No more "Mi" because it's not dedicated solely to Xiaomi products anymore.
- availability in Google Play
- redesigned some UI parts (and no more transparent background as per Google Play Android Tv requirement)
- feature : ability to start an app on boot
- feature : ability to block Google Play updates (for zodiac and maybe other devices)
- feature : access to native zoom UI from MiTv when available (zooms the whole UI, not just video, from 80 to 100%, no root needed)
- feature : accessibility service features (remote control shortcuts, mic button binding) can be enabled individually
- feature : information display relative to current source input (resolution, dynamic range)
- feature : launcher shortcuts (hdmi inputs, media explorer) can now be hidden if not used
- feature : app can fully replace a launcher (optimisations, lists all Android Tv and Mobile apps)
- feature : can replace launcher even when security measures prevent it (FengOs)
- feature : added english translations to FengOs settings app
- fix : long press back to improve input lag restored
- fix : improved stability of the accessibility service (notably on Android 8+)
- fix : better management of the direct downloads in "install 3rd party apps" (errors correctly managed, cancelation possible, support for android 8+)
- fix : added support for magisk 20+
- fix : improved overall compatibility with android 8.1/9
- feature : added compatibility with FengOs for most features
- feature : display profiles management (premium feature for more than 1 profile)
- feature : display profiles can be set automatically on input and/or dynamic range change
- feature : display profiles can be switched manually from the remote control
- feature : display profile editor displays multiple calibration helper screens
- feature : display profiles can manage : contrast/brightness/hue/saturation/sharpness, color temperature gain AND offset (not available in stock projector UI), dynamic color/contrast switches, noise reduction and interlacing switches (to reduce input lag), video zoom, backlight (more options than on the stock UI), tv backlight (for tvs)
- 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
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.spocky.projengmenu/.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.spocky.projengmenu/com.spocky.projengmenu.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity} does not exist.
Did you change something?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

@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
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.spocky.projengmenu/.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.spocky.projengmenu/com.spocky.projengmenu.activities.input.SourceHDMI1Activity} does not exist.
Did you change something?

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 ?

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?

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_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.
