I was able to resolve #4 by reinstalling the GBoard keyboard on my shield, which now brings up on the onscreen keyboard. FYI. Thanks again
Has anyone had any issues with this launcher so that TalkBack switches on suddenly?
I have philips android TV (8102) and I've using this launcher now for a month or so.
Sometimes when turning on TV the TalkBack funcion of Accessibility turns on for no reason I can think of. And somehow the issue spirals from there the longer I wait until i turn if off and then restart TV.
If I just turn it off, then it switches back on after awhile and the longer the talkback is on the harder it is to turn it off cos for reasons unknown to me talkback starts to turn on after every remote button press after awhile and eventually I can't even access accessibility options or sometimes any options and I just have to unplug the whole TV and then switch the talkback off and restart again.
Weird as hell and all this started like week after installing the launcher. Talkback gave me 0 result while searching this thread.

Well I haven't had that happen with the launcher on my Android box but it has happened to me on the phone a couple times accidentally so I know how irritating it is to get back off lol. Is there some button press combination that could be accidentally triggering it? That's what it was for me on the phone....or is your Assistant hearing something that accidentally triggers it? Don't tell me your son is named Accessibility, or do you tell him "Dont TALKBACK to me!" lol
On 4.30.
I have a custom remote that whenever I press a particular key an “HDMI 4” logo appears on screen for a few seconds. Sometimes when used it is listed as an app in “select favorite app” feature that my android tv device has. But it is not listed in the “Applications” settings so I cannot disable it.
It has something to do with inputs but I cannot edit any input setting in “launcher settings” and I need this input selection to be disabled since it is linked to a very important button on my remote.
Also in the latest release version the “tick boxes” disappeared from “launcher settings” so I cannot see if the setting it’s enabled or disabled.
Also, congrats for such an amazing launcher. It does everything I need and have fantastic features that others lack of.

That’s correct. I have it set as none. I like a pure black background on a OLED tv.
That is my preference as well. Someone suggested as a work-around if you have purchased premium you can use a black image as your background instead.
Whats wierd is I didn't have those tick boxes at first either... Then later I did a fresh install and they are there, same apk lol
Yep this seems to be the way, it solves it. A black wallpaper could be better than “none” as default “non-premium” feature. I like the launcher and find it fantastic so just got premium to support it, but still imo black should be available as default.
The “HDMI 4” apk doesn’t appear anymore, although I’m using another box now. On a Nokia SB 8000 it appears and seems to be mapped to a button. But it doesn’t appear anymore on a Nokia SB 8010, neither it is mapped. So I’ll stick to it and set a black wallpaper instead of none.
OK I see what you guys are talking about now... I always have a wallpaper so didn't really see the issue.... Only once when I must have gone to general settings before activating wallpaper.. But yeah with "none" as wallpaper the check boxes disappear in General section
Dear friends. I recently installed Prejectivy Launcher on my Formovie S5. I installed Youtube and other apps, but I would like to login with my youtube account because I am youtube premium. But do not log. He exits the application. Is it possible to install Google Play Services?? I looked here but I couldn't. There's a lot of stuff, can anyone help me? Thanks.
Why don't you install SmartTubeNext (STN) Beta, which plays youtube without ads, and without need of premium account. I think it doesn't need play services.
Appearance -> Categories -> Top margin
Just found they disappeared for me, and I was using Dynamic colors.... Switched to a different background and back again, and check boxes and sliders are back.
Weird.. I do not have that Top Margin option. Just row opacity, show headers, title and app names.

1So dumb question but I somehow have version 4.30 however it shows 4.24 as the newest. I seem to recall an 'xda' version of this, or maybe it was a beta or something. Anyhow where can I find newer versions of this? Been enjoying it but wanted to see what all was new since I install about 4 or 5 months back. Thanks1
Latest version can be found on github.
1Hey guys, I just Update the launcher via Google play to the latest Version.
Im using the Xiaomi Mi 4K Laser Projector
I love the launcher, but I found 2 bugs/issues:
1. If I press the Power Button on my remote, normally the Power menu appears with 4 different options (shut down, restart, screen off,...). But now, after pressing the power button the screen goes off....but the projector is still running. I can wake the screen up by pressing power again. But I can't turn my projector off...only if I pull the cable... Very annoying.
2. When I change the volume I can't see what value I am at the moment, the speaker pop-up doesn't show up....but the volume changes.1Hi @spocky12
Excellent launcher! Been using it for a few days and it's been perfect so far. Two feature requests if you're willing to consider it.
- Allow the user to adjust the speed for Dynamic colors background feature.
- I find that the speed is a bit too slow and the dynamic color background doesn't update quickly enough. The color of the background is still the same as the last update by the time I select and enter the app.
- A setting to disable displaying the category headers.
- The category headers are "collapsed" by default but if I press left too many times, they get revealed. A setting to disable this all together would prevent "scrolling too far".
1Hello @spocky12 Is google play/service installation broken?
I am on the latest version of the launcher but keep getting request unsuccessful error.
Also once I freeze the apps they cant be unfrozen on the current version?
I used freeze recommended apps to freeze the bloats and whatnot, but I cant use the unfreeze recommended to unfreeze. It just says 0 unfreezed.
I am on rainman and rooted. - Allow the user to adjust the speed for Dynamic colors background feature.

40Introduction
Projectivy Launcher is a launcher dedicated to Android Tv, offering special features for Xiaomi family projectors/TVs.
With the new major version that extends the use to all Android TV devices, and for better understanding, the original thread has been split :
- The original thread will focus on Xiaomi/Fengmi/Wemax projectors, offering a faq, links to custom recoveries, guide for rooting, links to download stock ROMS and OTAs.
- This thread will focus on the launcher itself.
Description
It's a multi purpose launcher that can be used without root, but adds interesting features on rooted ones. It can be installed on most Android Tv devices (to provide automatic boot on HDMI input for example). A bunch of functionnalities are dedicated to devices with amlogic/mediatek SOCs and/or Xiaomi devices.
It can be used as a launcher replacement, or as a standalone app if you only need a side feature.
You don't need root to use this app, except for the features maked with [ROOT] below.
Here are the current features :
Global UI : long press any card/icon to display a contextual menu allowing you to start/uninstall app as well as hide or rearrage it as you like (ie : move or add it to another section)
Input :
- Shortcuts to change source to HDMI 1 to 3, AV, as well as opening an onscreen menu to choose the source. These will be useful if you disable the stock launcher, as you will probably lose the stock widget with Tv preview and change source buttons.
Tv Apps :
- ... : Android Tv dedicated apps will appear here
Mobile Apps :
- ... : any app not dedicated to Android Tv (whose icon usually doesn't display on Android Tv launchers) will appear here
Display :
- Display settings : Add ability to create different display profiles (premium version required for more than 1) that can be applied automatically when changing input source and dynamic range. Most features that could be changed in previous versions (zoom, input lag...) of this app can be added to a display profile and thus automatically available upon boot with no action on your side. The profile editor can also display many calibration screens to help you setup your device as you need. Unless you're using a device based on Android Tv 6, you'll need to have a rooted device. If it's not working for you, you can probably benefit from the calibration patterns it can display (FHD, 4K, Jitter, HDR, DV...)
- Zoom : Changes the Zoom in/out factor for video display (external inputs as well as any video player) [ROOT] and also enables access to stock zoom feature if available (to zoom/unzoom full display, not only video, but can't go below 80%)
- Force 4k UI rendering [ROOT] : this may cause lags when rendering the UI
Settings :
- Projectivy settings:
- launcher
- Parental control : protect apps with a parental code (totally or during a specific time frame)
- Override stock launcher : try to replace the stock launcher even if it hasn't been disabled (which is still the preferred way)
- Card size : size of the apps icons
- Wallpaper : choose between no wallpaper, user defined one, or random wallpapers from different reddit channels
- Use dynamic colors : change main color based on your wallpaper, à la Material You
- Show status bar
- Unselected lines opacity
- Display left headers
- Show sections title
- Show time
- Show app title
- Input
- Rename HDMI inputs
- Disable HDMI inputs so that they're not displayed in the launcher
- Prefer internal Tv View : replace the stock HDMI Input app with a custom one. It doesn't support CEC (only system apps can do it), but it might be useful for specific usage
- Power control
- Startup to : android, specific app or specific Hdmi input
- Automatically shutdown when HDMI signal stops (experimental) : trigger a power off when the Hdmi Input app exits automatically (which usually means the input device has been shut down)
- Prevent automatic shutdown when idle : some systems automatically shutdown if no user interaction has happened recently, this can prevent this behavior (useful if you start your device with CEC and never touch its remote control
- Enable internal idle detection : if use did not touch the remote control for the given time, sned a poweroff or standby command
- launcher
- Device settings : launches the projector/tv/box settings
- Additional settings : launches amlogic/mediatek settings app (if available)
- Android settings : launches the Android stock settings
- Engineering menu : launches the [MiTv/FengOs/Fengmi] engineering menu
Applications :
- Remote Control : displays a QR code to my Web Remote Control, working on any device, dedicated to MiTv devices based on Android 6
- Freeze stock apps [ROOT] : freezes/hides/disables stock apps/bloatware (for unrooted devices, please check below, in Remarks section, point 3). On MIUI, make sure you install another keyboard (ie "LeanbackIme Keyboard", from the "Install 3rd party apps" menu) as it will disable the stock one. Possibility to specify a package name to disable manually.
- (Un)Freeze launchers [ROOT] : (un)freezes/hides stock Xiaomi TvHome, FengOs launcher or Google Leanback launcher. Make sure you have another compatible launcher installed before freezing it (for unrooted devices, please check below)
- Install 3rd party apps : lets you choose apps to install. Most will require Aptoide Tv installed. Good news, it's able to download and install it automatically ! If your device is rooted and is on Android 6.01, Google services/apps can be installed too (see more in the Google Apps section) :victory:
- Uninstall Google Apps [ROOT] : if you installed Google Apps / services with the feature described above, you can safely uninstall them (but why would you want that ?)
- Freeze Google Play [ROOT] : prevents google Play self-update. This is useful on some models, where new Google Play app refuses to install apps due to some incompatibility issue (such as Zodiac)
System :
- Accessibility Service : This is a multi-purpose service, that fixes Google Play on Googlized xiaomi devices, binds the stock remote control "Voice recognition" button to Google Assistant (if you installed Google Services), allows your device to automatically start an external input or app on boot, adds a shortcut to open these tools or change picture profile by double pressing the menu button... *** In one word : you want it enabled ***
- Custom Props Override [ROOT/MAGISK] : changes some custom props so as to get a more stock Android Tv behavior. This will enable Google services disabled by Xiaomi, allow your "Usb debugging" option to stick across reboots, allow bypassing safetynet... If you install Google Services you need to install them.
About :
- ProjecTivy Launcher : displays details about this app
- This device : displays many details about this device, and temperature sensors values is available.
- This wallpaper : shows details regarding the wallpaper currently displayed
Remarks :
- Using any of the above features (even [ROOT] ones) should be safe and shouldn't prevent you from installing stock OTA updates afterwards (no system file is modified). If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to tell me, but anyways, at worst, factory reset or flashing the full stock ROM will fix any issue, so there isn't any risk of bricking your device.
- Except if you have stock launcher or leanback launcher installed (which will force you to use them if installed), if multiple other compatible launchers are installed, a popup will ask your choice at each boot and home button press.
- Concerning the (un)freeze apps/launcher, if your device is not rooted, this app currently can't do it automatically, but you can do it manually by connecting a computer to your device with ADB and executing a few command lines :
- enable "usb debugging" in your device's "Developer" options (in settings) (to enable "developer options", see here)
- Download adb for your OS (check here)
- Start command line (terminal)
- type
adb connect IP_OF_YOUR_DEVICE:5555to connect through the network - type
adb shellto open a shell console - to freeze an app type :
pm uninstall -k --user 0 PACKAGE(replace PACKAGE withcom.mitv.tvhomefor Xiaomi stock launcher,cn.formovie.fengos.desktopfor FengOs launcher andcom.google.android.leanbacklauncherfor Google Leanback launcher) - to unfreeze an app type :
cmd package install-existing PACKAGE(replace PACKAGE with the same value as above) - to get a list of manually uninstallable apps, check the
rainman.v2.jsonfile on my github - Note: seems that freezing Google TV Launcher on CCwGTV [4K/sabrina or HD/boreal], will stop YouTube login from occurring and will prevent YouTube account switching
- Evolution : If you have another device and want this app to support it (meaning using another list of installable/uninstallable apps), don't hesitate to make a PR on my github.
Note on Privacy and Permissions usage
The only data that comes out of the phone is for anonymous usage (firebase analytics) in order to prioritize and improve what's used the most, and crash reporting (firebase crashlytics). Both can be disabled starting from 4.30.
No user data is saved on a private server of shared with any other 3rd party service.
Here are the permissions explicitely requested in Projectivy Launcher along with their usage :
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE : get information about current network (ex: statusbar icons, current device IP address)
- INTERNET : seems obvious
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (max sdk 28) : read a Projectivy config file that could be placed on the device before it's installed (for rooted devices)
- INSTALL_SHORTCUT : manage pinned shortcuts
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED : start an app on startup (Projectivy is probably the only Tv launcher supporting this)
- REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES (only on non play store version) : install 3rd party apps (ex: aptoide)
- REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES : allow users to delete apps
- READ_TV_LISTINGS : ability to show channels/watch next
- BILLING : to buy premium
A few other permissions are required by libs dependencies (mostly Google libs) :
READ_EPG_DATA/WRITE_EPG_DATA : Google tv channels lib
WAKE_LOCK, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE... : Google Firebase
There is also a Notification Listener service that can access your device notifications to display these notifications and now playing data *if enabled*
Last thing you can see that might freak you out : Projectivy can spy on your device activity : this is because of the Accessibility service (that offers a lot of low level insights, *if enabled*).
It's used :
- to launch apps on boot when manufacturers disabled the BOOT_COMPLETED (hello Xiaomi)
- for parental control
- for remote control button remapping
Premium
Premium version on Google Play will give you :
- ability to choose a custom background image
- unlimited parental control protected apps (only 1 in free version)
- unlimited display profiles (only 1 in free version) ***Only on supported devices (if it doesn't work on the free release, that won't change on premium)***
- the satisfaction of supporting this project
- more to come
As of now, this unfortunately can't be bought outside of Google Play because there doesn't seem to be any easy means of doing without taking too much of my time (managing a dedicated server, database, preventing hacks, managing refunds... none of this could be done until this becomes a full time job).
Known issues
- HDMI 1 and HDMI 3 swapped (FengOS, Vava on AmLogic devices) : on recent firmwares, HDMI1 and HDMI3 inputs are swapped in PL. This is a bug in the OS low level libs that send HDMI1 input id when HDMI3 is requested (and the opposite). Can't be easily detected (thus fixed) on my side unfortunately. Just select HDMI1 when you need HDMI3 and vice-versa.
- long press on volume buttons doesn't work on FengOs : there's a bug on FengOs -> as soon as an accessibility service is enabled (Projectivy Launcher, but also Button Mapper for example), the long press volume buttons doesn't work anymore. Worse : unlike any other button, the accessibility service is not notified that a volume button has been pressed, preventing me from developping a workaround :/ Disabling the accessibility service fixes this behavior (but this disables several Projectivy Launcher features)
- unable to add or remove programs from watch next (as on the stock android tv launcher) : the stock launcher has special permissions that allows it to modify "watch next" even if the programs belong to another app. This unfortunately can't be done on a 3rd party launcher
Download / Installation
This app can be downloaded here or installed from Google Play.
Install the apk as usual :
- copy the apk to an usb thumb drive
- plug it into your device
- browse and select apk to install it (you may need to enable "unknown sources installation" from your device's settings)
Not for commercial use. If you want to redistribute it, please contact me.

- vastly improved startup time
- optimized for smoothness/reactivity in general
- hugely decreased memory used
- added compatibility with old mitv3 (and more generally Android 5.1.1)
- many bugs fixed
- *** Features ***
- added ability to override the current launcher (the preferred way is still to freeze/uninstall it). This app will then automatically launch on boot and intercept calls to the stock launcher so as to start itself above it
- added parental control management (=requiring a code to start an app/input). This is by no means hacker proof, but kids/random guests should be stopped. [Premium for more than 1 app]
- parental control can be active only for a period of the day.
- prevent automatic system power off when idle
- added an internal idle detection with ability to shutdown after a specific inactivity time
- added ability to automatically shutdown if the HDMI input display app stops by itself (meaning no more HDMI signal). While not foolproof, this can handily replace a missing CEC shutdown function on your device
- added HDR / DV calibration patterns
- added an internal tv viewer to replace the vendor one. It doesn't support CEC (android limitation) but will allow more customization in the future
- "about / this device" now shows information regarding which display range is supported (HLG, HDR10, DV...)
- added a direct link to configure the accessibility service
- added ability to autostart on the "last used input"
- added ability to reinstall/unfreeze frozen packages/launchers [root]
- added remote control shortcut to change the current source input (double tap menu, then left/right)
- app self update support
- [FengOS] added a direct link to a second engineering menu (useful to get temperature logs)
- [FengOS] added a link to the input source popup
- [Mediatek] added a link to advanced configuration (advanced picture settings, MEMC with DV, and more...)
- fix : fixed a bug in the display profiles structure binding them to the tools version they were created on (causing a reset of the profiles on each new release of the tools)
Warning : this version will reset your display profiles (even if you're coming from 3.55). Please make sure you've noted the values so that you can recreate them. Sorry for the inconvenience, this won't happen again.- feature : set sharpness step to 1 instead of 10 in display profile manager on MiTv devices
- feature : third party remote control buttons HDMI 1/2/3 and keyboard keys F1/F2/F3 are directly bound to HDMI input change (side effect : for home automation systems, sending adb keyevent KEYCODE_TV_INPUT_HDMI_3 will start input HDMI3 for example).
- feature : added ability to disable auto power off on user inactivity when cold booted (MiTv) [root]
- feature : display profile manager can now display HDMI inputs in calibration preview
- fix : "android" display profile incorrectly applied on projector startup
- fix : some apps were not available in autostart app dropdown menu
- fix : crash when no display profile available
- fix : crash when starting some activities
- fix : autostart app not always working on FengOs
- fix : "install 3rd party apps" option not always available when it should- rebranded app (yes, again) to "ProjecTivy Tools". No more "Mi" because it's not dedicated solely to Xiaomi products anymore.
- availability in Google Play
- redesigned some UI parts (and no more transparent background as per Google Play Android Tv requirement)
- feature : ability to start an app on boot
- feature : ability to block Google Play updates (for zodiac and maybe other devices)
- feature : access to native zoom UI from MiTv when available (zooms the whole UI, not just video, from 80 to 100%, no root needed)
- feature : accessibility service features (remote control shortcuts, mic button binding) can be enabled individually
- feature : information display relative to current source input (resolution, dynamic range)
- feature : launcher shortcuts (hdmi inputs, media explorer) can now be hidden if not used
- feature : app can fully replace a launcher (optimisations, lists all Android Tv and Mobile apps)
- feature : can replace launcher even when security measures prevent it (FengOs)
- feature : added english translations to FengOs settings app
- fix : long press back to improve input lag restored
- fix : improved stability of the accessibility service (notably on Android 8+)
- fix : better management of the direct downloads in "install 3rd party apps" (errors correctly managed, cancelation possible, support for android 8+)
- fix : added support for magisk 20+
- fix : improved overall compatibility with android 8.1/9
- feature : added compatibility with FengOs for most features
- feature : display profiles management (premium feature for more than 1 profile)
- feature : display profiles can be set automatically on input and/or dynamic range change
- feature : display profiles can be switched manually from the remote control
- feature : display profile editor displays multiple calibration helper screens
- feature : display profiles can manage : contrast/brightness/hue/saturation/sharpness, color temperature gain AND offset (not available in stock projector UI), dynamic color/contrast switches, noise reduction and interlacing switches (to reduce input lag), video zoom, backlight (more options than on the stock UI), tv backlight (for tvs)
- did I mention display profiles don't require root on Android 6 ?
- ...and should work on most amlogic devices (xiaomi, vava, xgimi...), at least on android 6 devices ?- rebranded app to "Mi ProjecTivy Tools" because why not.
- stability : added a screen resolution check at boot. If a wrong resolution is set in the Android tv settings, the device won't be locked on the chessboard screen anymore, it will switch back to the default resolution (rainman and batman supported)
- stability : set this app as a Tv Launcher, so if all launchers are mistakenly disabled, the device will boot on it so that a launcher can be reinstalled
- UI : made menu buttons dynamic, so they won't show on your device if the feature is not supported
- UI : rewrote all submenu interface to use Android Tv UI. This vastly improved look and usability
- UI : changed menu icons
- UI : if accessibility service is running, the app can be opened by double pressing the "menu" button
- feature : added an option to change the zoom in/out factor for video display (external input and all media players)
- feature : added option to switch window manager to 4k (interface will likely not be totally fluid, though)
- feature : rewrote the option to decrease input lag so that you can disable "noise reduction" and "deinterlacing" individually
- feature : added a shortcut (qrcode) to MiReCo, the Web Remote Control
- feature : made the shortcuts section dynamic : it will now display all installed apps not natively compatible with Tv launchers (like the "Tv App Repo" app)
- feature : added "about this device" section that displays many details as well as the temperature sensors values
- improvement : made the hdmi input shortcuts compatible with international (android tv 8+) devices
- improvement : rewrote code to automatically start on a selected external input. This brings support for international models. IT WON'T USE the stock device settings anymore to select the input. Use the included parameter in "Input Settings"
- feature : added a shortcut to the stock "media explorer" directly in Tv launchers
- feature : added a warning if accessibility service is not enabled
- fix : fixed compatiblity with Netflix (not the Tv version, unfortunately, but the interface is totally usable). Due to missing DRM support, resolution is limited to SD.
- internal : many fixes and improvements (and bugs ?)- added ability to reduce input lag and disable noise reduction by long pressing "back" button.- added auto start to hdmi (as stock launcher), so that users who changed launcher won't miss this feature.11Sorry, I have absolutely no time to elaborate now, but I wanted to release the fixed version before the weekend: https://github.com/spocky/miproja1/releases/tag/4.31
The release on the Play Store should follow as soon as I have free time (hopefully next week).10Happy June 15th!
Hey, I guess it's time for a new release !
As usual, there will probably be bugs.
As usual, I'm gonna wait a few days before releasing it on Google play (maybe a bit more, as I need to change the release type to app bundle).
I won't have time to update this thread during the weekend, so for now, head to my github for the download and changelog !8Hey,
Sorry for the silence. Next release is approaching. There wont be live wallpapers (not even sure this is possible on android tv) or widget support in this version. Grey channels thumbnails should mostly be fixed.
I'll throw a look. Are you sure you enabled the accessibility service ?
Thanks for all the suggestions ! Some wil be added in the next release. Several might come in a future build.
I've simplified the ability to add/remove apps on categories. Next version should be much easier to customize.
Projectivy displays the battery if the system tells it that a battery is present. That's a bug on your rom.
Regarding mobile/tv sections, they are split for a reason. But you could still make a custom category with all of them.
I think I have a Mantis (that's the only fireTv I have), I'll have a look (maybe it's been updated since I checked).
What's the message ?
You can find a few Android Tv launchers on Github, there you should be able to compare with what you've done and fix your app.
There's no wallpaper manager in Android Tv, so not sure I can support live wallpapers, but it's on my todo list.
Don't worry, I keep on optimizing Projectivy. Features I add should not impact perfs and/or ram (or at least if they do, you should be able to enable/disable them)
This is weird. I'll check the code, but I think the checks are dynamic (there's not only 1 check at launch), so if internet is available on your device, Google Play should report you have premium (it does here).
1. next release
2. next release
3. Looks like a bug
4. That's not so easy. I became hard to develop a file browser (at least, Google play won't validate the app if it's not its main purpose). They say you should rely on other apps to do such things (apps should only acces their own folders), but unfortunately, Android Tv doesn't offer many options for file browsers, galleries... PErhaps you can try installing anothe rfile manager ?
The most reliable way I found to do it is by using the Accessibility Service.
I've fixed a bug related to this. Sometimes, android doesn't find the appropriate default app to launch a channel.
Next release
You need to enable notifications for projectivy in the system settings.
Next release
Google Play doesn't support apps the instal other apps. You need to install the xda version.
which animations are you talking about ? apps appearing ?
I'll have a look
does it work on stock launcher ?
