after signing the .apk you need to create a folder system/app/LeanbackMod and copy and paste the .apk there
After signing the APK I moved it to "system/app/LeanbackMod", and after a reboot of the device, the app was installed. Thank you!
How difficult would it be to modify the Leanback keyboard so that it could be used with universal remotes? I have a Google Nexus Player connected to a Flirc USB infrared dongle which I use with a Philips SRP5107 universal remote. I have my universal remote's main OK button mapped to emulate the ENTER key on a keyboard and this works fine in most cases but not with the Leanback keyboard. It isn't a problem with some apps like Netflix or Kodi that have their own keyboards but for the Leanback keyboard that's used in apps like Google Play and YouTube, pressing the OK button on a universal remote causes the keyboard to close off. This problem does not exist with the original Nexus Player remote's select button because it is context-sensitive. So what I'm basically asking is can this Leanback keyboard be modified to *not* close when it detects an external ENTER key being pressed? If I could use my universal remote's OK button to press the Leanback keyboard's on-screen keys, that would be ideal.
Recording Chromecast on Full Android Version
Chromecast functionality running on Shield TV with full Android version inside. Yes, with Full Android version in an Android TV device you can do all, also specific Android TV things + amazing real Android stuff. The only limit in Full Android is what you do not know.

I have been able to install the leanback launcher apk from the play store without issue on an Asus TF701 and HTC M8. The launcher has no touch input and only works with directional keys (keyboard on tablet or bluetooth remote).
It will properly list all the installed apps that have the appropriate manifest flags for android tv but launches them into mobile layout rather than leanback layout.
Does anybody know how to force android to launch apps in 'leanback mode'?
My first guess is a build.prop flag but I have glanced through the ADT-1 and Nexus Player build.props and nothing stuck out to me.
Also both devices get "unable to get recommendations" so the first row is gone. Unsure what causes this. I will try any suggestions to fix this.
Ultimately I would like to 'roll my own' androidTV device.

Reproducing peer cert and corresponding signature for Receiver apk
Wondering if the process that @HomerSp and @death2all110 went thru can be reproduced in a rooted Nexus Player (given the different architecture)? Anyone?

Hi. Am I doing this right? When I move signed apk file to /system/app/LeanbackMod folder I created and reboot, nothing happens. I'm attaching some screenshots to see if this helps. Thank you for any clue.

Friend, could you help me getting this to work on my lollipop tablet? I signed your apk, pasted it on the right folder, but this still doesn't work. Could you help me please??
Friend, I did what you told, but after reboot nothing happens. Could you help me please???
Any solution on this? I'm the same situation as you!
Actually, yes. I've download Leanback Launcher Mod again, installed, and then it worked. First you have to sign the apk file and paste it in system folder. Then you have to install normal non signed apk. This worked for me.
Does anybody know if it is possible to install on other devices Leanback versions of apps like Nexus Player's YouTube or Netflix? There are some threads with their apks on XDA...
Hi there, I'm running Lollipop 5.0 on a chinese tv box, I've signed and copied the signed apks to the system folder however I'm not able to install nor the factory apk or the signed-apk, it tells me "Install Failed", any ideas?
Thanks

Found Netflix here, haven't tested though: http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index.php?p=/discussion/27564/android-tv-app-mods-leanback-and-fireos-remote-friendly-apps-modified-to-work-on-regular-android
Unfortunately I have no ideas to help you... =\
Maybe if you try to install some earlier apk of the factory version? There are sites like apkmirror.com that should help finding different versions.
Thanks for the Netflix link. I've downloaded many different AndroidTV apps from various sites, and a lot of them are working. I own a MK809iv chinese HDMI stick, and it runs Android 4.4. Many ot these TV versions requires Lollipop to run though.

10So I was attending I/O and got the ADT-1, Android TV development device. These are the APKs I was able to pull from it (interesting ones).
Download links:
Android Media Shell a.k.a. Google Cast Receiver. Doesn't work for me even on the ADT-1 itself although reports successful service start in logcat.
Leanback Launcher, the launcher in Android TV.
Launcher L I don't know what this exactly is, but from its contents it appears to be something like GEL or Google Now but with TV UI. There is a bunch of activities and some strange tutorial slides inside.
Leanback Keyboard, a keyboard that can be operated with a d-pad.43Here you got some other files:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlvrxijhmax2qio/Netflix_1.0_build91_(AndroidTV_ADT-1)-signed.zip
Some netflix libs and the netflix apk of the ADT-1. The apk is not the one that comes preloaded with the rom (which is around 0,5mb) but the update that netflix released in the play store.
I will try to find out if I can (I´m allowed) to share more files2I can upload a copy later, or you can pull it from the system dump. its Backdrop.apk2LeanbackMod v1.0
A quick and dirty mod of Leanback Launcher to make it run properly on other devices. Requires Android 5.0+
Changes
- Fixed portrait display when in landscape (forced landscape)
- Enabled immersive mode
Known Issues
- Clicking Notification icon causes launcher to crash
To Do
- Fix Preparing Recommendations loading
- Modify display layout to better suit non-GoogleTV devices

You will probably need to sign the APK with platform keys in order for it to install (I used ZipSigner available on Play Store)
