I installed the leanback launcher and it works well on restyle

I did install it, but when I launched it it just gave a single row of apps, not all the categories it had before, so I just went with HAL, it's good enough for what need to do.

i do like the stock launcher,but... OmniSwicth is wonderfull,the only thing is not fully working if somebody make work that would be remarkable,... but i will be happy is somebody from XDA make this app OmniSwicth works

Ive been using OmniSwitch for a while too. it needs to be installed in priv-app for it to have recent tasks permission for full functionality. Here (gdrive) are some recent versions I've pulled from the ROM I use. A new feature called launcher mode (g+) has been added recently to the one in the 10.4 folder. Also shortcut has been added so you can assign any method to launch a shortcut to pull it out. I haven't had a chance try it out on the shield yet. Its new.

I've looked into the same issue, mainly because of the norwegian TV app GetTV that is ment for customers to watch TV on any device in and out of the house and with NSTV i would have 1080p native from the IPstream instead of the 1080i the cableboxes they deliver can handle.

To make apps work that way, they need a layout compateble with DPad navigation, so changing the manifest wouldn't help much i think, and if you create an app to launch with an overlay for the app you would need to run an emulated new version of android and in that instance launch the app and have cursor/leanback support for non-native apps, that would drain the power and create even more issues, best way to do this would be for Nvidia to add a cursor mapping profile for the gamepad controller og tv remote (ex. "trippleclick search to start 'mousemode'." and then use the directional keys to move the cursor around)

Thank the heavens Get introduced get.no/tv. Now we don't have to use that crapy android app anymore and instead watch everything using Chrome.

Problems with 3th party launchers is often support for the basics.
Most have no Power control option ( Sleep/Restart/Power off ) or the handy functions like Long press Back-button for power menu.
