Bottom Line: If it works sideloaded, but you want to launch it from Leanback Launcher instead of Sideload Launcher? This is for you. If the app doesn't work sideloaded, this hack will not help it work.

Android tv needs a non root mouse pointer solution. I don't get why the sheild disables the touchpad on the controllers.

Here's a link to Spotify for this - I've also done a couple of others but they can be found in the OP's comment on the GeForce forums.

This converted Spotify does more than just put the icon on the launcher - it also actually allows you to launch the app from the now playing/recommended tile at the top of the home screen! This made me really happy, before converting it it would just say "THis can't be opened right now."

One that I can't get to work right is Firefox - it converts and installs fine but won't show up on the launcher. Not sure why.

Idea: What would happen if we ran an app optimized for Fire TV through this? A lot of the streaming apps crash because they aren't signed, but maybe this will fix that? I'll experiment later tonight

And here is a link to some of the apps that have been converted:

Does the remote work with these apps or does it require mouse?

It's a cool program, though limited, but it should make it easier to test TV apps and recommend support to developers.

Wow, really cool. Going to try this with the Xfinity Go and Amazon Video apps.

Doesn't work for me, always get an 'unexpected error'.
