[Android TV x86] [Guide] DIYTV (My own version of Google TV)

[AJ1le]

I've tried installing it on my laptop but it only works when I select no hardware acceleration I'm fine with that but I kind of need it to be shown on the tv
So is there any way I can disable hardware acceleration for the laptop mode option (if I run it normally I just see flashing black and white lines and glimpses of the booting screen)

Which laptop or which hardware?

Did you try attention to point 11 with an external monitor?

if you are from notebook and you want to display the OS on an VGA/HDMI screen just select the Android TV (Laptop Mode) and close your laptop screen. In a few seconds it should appear the terminal in your external screen.

My specs are HP Elitebook 8440p, 4 GB Ram, Intel Core i7 M 640 2.80GHz, nVidia GPU with VGA
When I use laptop mode the same thing happens (it shows the console on TV and then black and white lines and glimpses of the booting screen)

because of some apps ... Here for example Netflix ...
Isn't it because the build is identified as a Nexus player and because of that no newer APK runs on it?

if you change the device accordingly (to a current one) shouldn't newer APK also run on it?

Apps that work on my Device:

Prime Video (no tablet version - the version from the playstore in version 5.5.12-armv7a)
Netflix (from the First post)
myvideo.ge (georgian TV)
OpenVPN for Android with autostart after the boot
Joyn (german tv)
TuneIN
waipu TV
Google Chrome up to Version 88.0.4324.181 possible

After the Chrome installation you dont have a Shortcut App Icon under Apps !

Go for this to the Webseite: https://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/index.php and fill the form and generate the APK

App Name (max 15 characters): Chrome
App Package
(e.g. com.android.application): com.android.chrome
App Category: Apps

1 small Logo and 1 Banner Logo

Generate APK and Download APK

all standard Apps

Google Assitent works fine!

Anyone tried this on Intel NUC (with Intel Gen 10) or other with DisplayPort?

Disabling other video outputs (HDMI-1, DP-2) doesn't seem to work. No video output.

Hi @American_Jesus

i dont used a NUC but a HP Prodesk 600 G1 DM with same Ports as your NUC!

At now the Perfect Hardware for this Project and all run out of the Box!

I used the the Version of HP
HP Prodesk G1 DM (Desktop Mini)
Intel Core i3 - 4150T
8 GB Ram
120 GB SSD

You must think you used a Hardware from Q4 2019 and the Android x86 used the Kernel 4.19 from Q4 2018 - Maybe your Hardware is to new .... Wait of Android 10 under Android x86 with Kernel 5.4 then i think your Hardware run out of the Box too or update / compile the kernel self and try ....

After I install it on the hard disk and boot into it, the keyboard works for a few seconds but then the resolution changes and the keyboard doesn't work at all. I can only click on things using the mouse. Is there any solution for this? Also is there a way to bypass setup and go straight to the home screen after installing it?

other Question ....

Why you dont used this Rom not Native as local installation?

Resize your HDD/SSD
Create a new Partition with 32GB
Burn the iso with Rufus on a USB Stick
Start from USB

Install the Android TV on this Partition over create/modify Partition

For Help used this Video and do the same step by step and all is fine ...

Which WiFi module is installed internally (exact name) or do you use a USB dongle (which one) ?

 

[Pyoner]

After closing the volume correction, you can use the remote control volume, but every time you reboot the volume will be defined in the maximum sound, please set this to improve?

How to update wifi driver?

 

[Wheemer]

Guys if you install PrimeOS and login you can do an update to this and have your google login saved.

Too bad we can't get the HDCP working through HDMI. That would be the winner right there. Without it wastes time until you give in and by an actual Android TV box so we can experience the full potential.
