about 2 months ago I wrote in G+ AICP group, asking them to open a thread here...
they did not
I don't know why, but It's an interesting project.
We should solve the gapps problem, probably the opengapps works well, but I would use the leanback gapps for that.
I was successful in installing the AICP 2/27 nightly for fugu using the gapps package from PureNexus ROM thread in Nexus Player Original Android Development.
The ROM had some FC's (not often) but more importantly, had freezes of the AndroidTV launcher. There have been several night lies since, including one dated 3/10(yesterday) but I am yet to flash it and test if there are any improvements to overall usability. Part of the problem is that they have a Jenkins set for automatic builds for all supported devices. And while I've seen the ROM run great on cellular devices, the AndroidTV interface and framework is much different. I'm not sure who is maintaining builds and if they are keeping up with weather or not changes/commits to the overall AICP project are playing nicely with AndroidTV. Lots of things get changed regularly to improve cell phone usage without consideration for AndroidTV. Same is true for CM, PureNexus, etc.
I am still trying to determine who to contact in regards to AICP builds for the Nexus Player and I myself am very busy with a project to revive an ancient tablet called the Dell Streak 7(Omni) as well as testing for several ROMs for the Tmo LG G4(Omni, DU, CM13)
All that said, I will flash and test the latest AICP nightly sometime in the next 24 hours. I may start a thread in Nexus Player > General for discussion of the AICP ROM for NP so that we can respectfully stop the posts here since it should not be located in this thread.
Apologies to the OP
