Wow, this is awesome. I can finally move Kodi from it's 17th position to 1st position.

Thanks Google!

Whooohooo, hopefully we get something every week. Would be nice if they realize the cable market is dying and people are getting ready to find a new venue for living room media consumption. Live channels is another good step. Hope they keep at it.

1 year later and its finally added. It really should have been feature at launch.

-You still can't add sideloaded apps to the home screen.

-If you disable recommendations it still leaves a blank space.

Andrroid

I hope this is for 5.1.1 as well.

How do we get this update without sideloading an apk?

Did anyone try the apk on Shield?

I have a Shield TV and have v1.1.14 installed. How do you move an app?

Edit: You push and hold "A" or select on your input device. But after I was done moving them around, the "Save & Exit" button doesn't do anything. I'm stuck at this screen. Haha.

Nvidia customize their version of the Lean Back Launcher to automatically put the last used app at the very start so I don't really see the point of this if you're using the Shield TV. It's also probably why the save and exit button isn't doing anything because their version of the launcher is designed to be dynamic.
