Nvidia Shield TV 2017 - Any way to change wallpaper?

by HeyBlubby

Like the title says, am I missing how to change the backdrop on the home screen? Currently it seems to be stuck on the "green blood cell" type image. I know that it changes when you select certain tiles with custom backdrops, but I'd really like to change the default green one. It's a little too edgy for me...

The new 5.2 update changes it to a more neutral pattern. It's like the shapes on the controller, black only. Much less biohazard

This is one of those features that's so basic you tend to just take for granted that it must exist. But no, you're not missing anything. It doesn't.

Felker Tech makes incredibly useful apps for Android TV including NeoDash which does exactly that, change the wallpaper, sort of, here's the technical detail in the app description

New artwork gives users a notification with PRIORITY_MAX , often being the first notification on your TV. When you press home, this effectively changes your background to be whichever image you want
