in my configuration it doesn't work. I have an asrock mainboard with an AMD 350e and uefi bios. the installation works fine but the uefi bios don't see any uefi operating system. if i run aTV after the installatione instead of reboot, it seems to start (two circles that move) but after that the screen goes black and it never starts.

Working for vga onboard DVI + HDMI port....

I don't understand, my mainboard has vga + dvi + hdmi ports. I have tested the vga and the hdmi port, after the circles I don't see nothing. But the problem is also that uefi bios don't see any operating system after the installation. Ubuntu installation with grub uefi works fine.

Make 2 partitions on your hard Drive

1 partition 1g with fat32 is boot files (sda1) name it UEFI
1 partition the rest of your hard Drive to system and ext4 (sda2) name it ANDROID

When you install Android TV choose your ext4 partition to install (sda2) and choose yes to uefi grub and yes to format boot partition (sda1) then install system as read/write.

I did exactly what you wrote, many times, but Bios don't see any operating system. Anyway, I managed to start aTV by installing grub through ubuntu and creating a new line for android. The kernel starts, I see some circles that move for a few seconds, after which the screen turns black and nothing happens. The same thing happens if at the end of the installation I choose "run android" instead of "reboot the system". With ctrl+alt+f1 I can enter in a shell, but I don't know what to do.

thanks for reply

    Thanks! I will try that I'm getting video freezing and lag on 1.08


    I do not have much time to work on this project at the moment, I will integrate the update in the iso when I will have the time.

    @TOSanthony....amazing work! I've been using another build of ATV with no GP and lacking in many areas. This is a dream! I think I have been fortunate to not have any issues except for the random GP crash and volume control.

    I noticed that my volume control worked from the stock ISO all the way to 1.0.8. After updating to 1.0.9 the volume control no longer works on my USB remote or with volume keys on the keyboard. I tried with a couple other remotes and keyboards to no avail. I was able to flash back to 1.0.8 and bring this function back. Was this by design?

    Cheers,

    For the moment use volume control app.

    I will push next update with :
    Google Play Service crash fix
    Disabling sleep mode to prevent audio noise after sleep
    Fix to setup initial Android tv configuration with Google phone
    Volume control on ui
