Nice video/tips. Did something similar on my Nexus Player after upgrading to 8.0 (disabled animations, background processes) and maaannn does it make a difference. I feel like I'll keep the Nexus Player a bit longer because it's never been that fast and stable before
u/vtudio I like the tip on the developer options background process limit.
Sadly in my experience this always resets back to "Standard limit" when the TV is rebooted. However on a positive note a solution for this I've found that is working for me on my Sony Bravia KD-65XE8596 running Android TV 7.0 is:
#!/bin/bash
adb connect [MY_TV_IP_ADDRESS]
adb shell service call activity 51 i32 1
I have this shell script setup in a crontab job regularly running on another device on my lan. The last line basically programmatically sets the background process limit to 1 on the TV via an adb shell. The number value after i32 is the desired background process limit number of processes. Set it to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
I'm actually surprised that this does work without root but I can confirm it is working here and I think it's a decent workaround for the value being reset to "Standard limit" on TV reboot.
I can't take the credit for this adb magic though, I found it in the comments of this github issue here:
Thanks!
Anyone here owns European model for 850d? US and Canadian models do not have dvr function on those, while European do, wonder if copying the dvr app to my TV will let me record the ota programs
Lol epic narration!
Cool video
Will try this when I get home. Sick and tired of my bravia's buggy antics, slow as hell p.o.s...
Thanks, Tim Westwood.
