Request to port Samsung SmartThings Link app to other Android TVs. - General Questions and Answers

Recently Samsung came out with the Samsung SmartThings link. This is a USB type dongle to be plugged into an NVIDIA Shield TV that functions like a Samsung SmartThings Hub. Since this is a lot cheaper than a hub and can do the same things, it is obviously a useful device (can be currently had for $10 after coupon "SHIELDLINK" on SmartThings website)
I'm sure it's limitation to the Nvidia Shield TV has nothing to do with Hardware but rather software. It works through the Samsung SmartThings link app on the Android TV. This app when side-loaded opens and says your Android TV is not supported. Is someone able to Port this over to any Android TV?
There is a post by Android Police with more details. I can't post links according to XDA so please search.
Here's the APK file on APK mirror (sorry can't post links according to XDA)
It's called SmartThings for NVIDIA SHIELD TV

[Q] samsung tv remote KEYBOARD

i recently downloaded the samsung tv remote app, but the keyboard isn't showing up when it's supposed to..
so far i've only tried it with the youtube app on smart hub.
is it just me or maybe it just doesn't work with youtube?

[Q] Any way or form to connect Nex5 to Samsung AllShare Hub?

So I bought a Samsung AllShare Cast Hub from Amazon, which described itself as working with all devices that have Wireless Display connectivity. I buy the device and come to find that I'm having extreme difficulty finding options to connect my Nex5 to the Hub, and the AllShare app says the app isn't compatible with Nex5.
Are there any capable apps or specific roms that should be used for casting an image to your TV?
I'm pretty sure that the Samsung Allshare HUB only works with Samsung phones. If you are trying to mirror your device to a TV, you will need to get a SlimPort.
NEXUS 5
Yeah I figure as much now but at the time I was following the information on this listing: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-All-S...15&sr=8-1&keywords=allshare+cast+wireless+hub
It seems to neglect the device's limitations and insteads choose words like "any device"
It even says "from the manufacturer"
1st time Amazon has let me down.

TV control/remote

I know the IR blaster is no longer present but is there a wifi tv controller app built in somewhere?
I have one that I downloaded from the Play store a year or so ago but its been removed (not sure why), I have a back up of the APK on my sd card. Its a Samsung remote and works over wifi to control a smart tv.
The reason I ask is under Package Disabler Pro, there is an app called Control TV (com.samsung.android.controltv), but I dont see it in the app drawer or on the galaxy app store? Maybe its part of the screen mirroring/casting function?
Tried a quick google search that resulted in nothing.
But here's a post that you may find useful:

I wondered the same thing when I seen a notification about "tv control" being updated. Looked up and down for it and found nothing. However if an official Samsung WiFi remote is what you are looking for, for your Samsung Smart TV then I found something.
Do not bother with the app in that link above my post... Like the original poster mentioned within that link it is full of Ads. Get the official app which can also control external speaker volume also unlike that 3rd party one in that link.
The app is called "Samsung Smart View" Its official, works with all Sammy Smart TV's and does a bit more than a tradition IR blaster remote. It may not as good as Peel in the sense that it talks with your cable box subscription/channel list however; I find it great for what it is because now I no longer need to look or fetch for my soundbar remote or tv remote when my phone is an arms length away from me.
Enjoy

Miracast App for Android TV Box (DLNA enabled)

I have an Android TV box AKASO T95M which says that it's DLNA enabled. I couldn't find any Miracast app pre-installed in it. I've checked other variant of TV boxes which comes up with an app named "Miracast" pre-installed. Can someone please help with the apk that comes with other boxes (may be a backup of the apk from the box)?
I want to mirror my Windows 10 Laptop screen to my Android TV. I've tried installing other apps available in Play Store but that doesn't work. The TV is not detected by my laptop. Thanks in advance!

Did dedicate camera for samsung smart tv will work on android box?

Hello, I have a samsung smart tv and dedicated camera for that: SAMSUNG CY-STC1100. The skype application used to run on the TV, but it has lost support.
I plan to buy the H96 Pro tv dongle (android) and my question is if the camera connected to it will handle that?
After smart tv stopped supporting skype I found older version of skype(for various TV series) with drivers(inter alia to camera) which was installed from a pendrive and this worked wonderfully, but now it doesn't work. If you don't know the solution, could you recommend a camera that works on the android box?
