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 )

BUT the UI and the apps are crappy? any suggestion on how to change the UI?
thanks
Love the Fire TV interface but hate how restrictive android is. Would Like a MINIX android box but want to know if there are any Roms or launchers like the fire TV that work on it? Thanks

I've looked around for a launches with similar experience, but nothing comes close, you could launch directly to XBMC skinned with something sleek or I'm about to stick to a windows 8 like launcher, everything else is terrible.
so i really liked the old android tv launcher the one that shipped with tvs around 2014 2015 is there a way to install it on my tv
The CCwGTV launcher is incredibly sluggish and laggy. Is there anyway to replace it with the stock Android TV launcher?
