this kind of ui is the reason why i moved away from fire-tv...

Hope someone can figure this out on the Mi Box S as well. Neat!

Once installing the Google tv launcher on shield tv, just install "Home Screen Launcher for Android TV" from the play store to switch launchers without the need to use ADB.

Yeah that's what I want to do ..make my $200 Shield look like a $50 FireTV 🤦‍♂️

.. i Just installed this launcher on my mibox, and here is my thought : As for me the new Chromecast must not be roll out at worldwide so soon...Its pretty clear to me that this device was developed and crafted Just to USA market.. As Brazilian, i am not tend at all to purchase it..Once, that most likely the streaming Services that will be provide here in Brasil would be bound in a 3-4 sources ..

Soooo.... The Google have to struggle to make deals with "streaming local services " of other countries ...otherwise i foreseen a huge problem to the grow up of google tv ( in a worldwide enviroment )

After a couple of days Google TV UI on Shield does not work. I had the audacity of asking if NVIDIA had a plan to add the UI to NVIDIA SHIELD as sideloading does not work after awhile. He gave a very political and vague answer that did not answer my question at all. Then I responded to him letting him know his answer was a non-answer. Then he DM'd me and threatened that asking these questions results in NVIDIA not wanting to help people. Read this: https://twitter.com/thedrdrew/status/1320088821577535488/photo/1

Anyone try in sony android tv?

Has anyone figured out how to fix the long delay that occurs on the Shield TV when returning to the home screen?

I am not sure if thats the new shield but does it still support the new AI upscaling throughout the google tv experience?

How did you change launcher?

Does anyone have the Live Channels APK from Google TV? I wonder if that might be the reason the Live tab is missing.

Has anyone tried this on tcl C6us?

could this potentially work the other way around? I mainly use Plex and like the way that Nvidia Shield shows me On Deck items from Plex on the home screen, but the CCGTV does not... I'd like to have Nvidia's launcher on my CCGTV if that were an option. If it's just a home screen launcher like on Android mobile OS, it could be theoretically possible.

Can some one confirm if it works ok on the shield?

I really don't get why they need these incredibly complex multiscreen launchers. I've never seen anyone sit and stare at the launcher for any length of time, you find the app you want to use and click it. I'd be very happy with a launcher that just had a great big list of icons I could reposition. Move ones I want closer to the start point and I'm good for the maybe 5 minutes total I see the launcher for in the course of an average year.

What does the Movies and Shows categories in the Library tab pull from? I've heard Movies Anywhere can display there (maybe it's a separate row) but I'm curious about the shows too. Like if I bought a show on Vudu or Amazon.

Just curious, why would you want this over the regular shield OS?

Thanks for this, I absolutely love this launcher because of the recommendations. I have gone through and installed it and I am curious if others have feedback or a resolution to this:

​

• I downloaded the newest versions which I had some problems with so I rolled back to these versions:
  • com.google.android.katniss_5.5.0.20201026.2-13002758_minAPI23(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
  • com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx_1.0.334424535-5244_minAPI28(320dpi)_apkmirror.com

​

Everything is generally working but these are problems I am having:

1. When I goto watch a trailer there is no sound? :(
2. I can't seem to get my Search working, open to suggestions.

​

Non functionality related but how awesome would this launcher be if it pulled in data from our Plex libraries. I would essentially be in heaven.

​

Appreciate anyone's feedback/suggestions to make this work better. I love my Shield TV and do not want to replace it but this interface is very appealing to me, I would consider using the new Google TV (Chromecast) if Plex integration comes and Nvidia still has not updated.

Should I be able to do this on the Chromecast TV to use the android tv launcher rather than the google home launcher?

Is it working well with Chromecast and all the stuff in on Shield?

Which apk u installed? Do you have a link?

I will wait until Nvidia officially supports it on the Shield.

On my mi tv stick starts but if i go to apps section it crashes

Guys what's the easiest way to do this?

Would this work on a fire tv too?

Which country?

This is an easier Google TV launcher install method without having to resort to complicated ADB commands:

You can then also Flip Flop between then default ATV launcher and the GoogleTV launcher.

Can you please share the apk?

kindly tell me the procedure to install it

Can you backup the Play Movies for Android TV apk as well and upload, please ? seems like there's a new update for it and it's needed to make it work.

does it have the universal watchlist?

I did this as well and only ran into 1 issue: There is a 12 second delay when returning to the home screen from any app or settings. Others have reported similar issues so I'm hoping there is a fix. Other than that, everything worked quite well, really!

Search is broken, it opens then crashed.

Not a deal breaker for me.

Reelgood is too useful for this to replace it.

yeah but can you actually launch anything is the question. I'm sure there's probably some missing backend 'core' files and/or libraries missing.

Is there any integration with Kodi ? I use to update my kodi Library using OpenMeta addon..its would show up on the library tab ?

This is a perfect example for something to be absolutely worthless for one is absolutely dope for other . 😀😀🤪

For wondering dudes... I have Plex and no other subscriptions.
