Fix for the day dream wake bug coming down the line! Great job dhacker29! Heck at this rate all the bugs will be fixed in the next couple weeks.

Works well! A little glitchy with the transitions, but nothing super noticable. Any ETA of if/when the mic will be working?

You know the golden rule about ETA's right?

Lemme rephrase then. Is there a possibility of the mic ever working or is that something that isn't doable? I haven't seen any aftermarket roms for the NP that have the mic working so it could just be that it's not a possible feature.

He has to reverse engineer proprietary binaries.

I guess the second half of the bug fix didn't make tonight's nightly ? hopefully next nightly has that plus some other awesome stuff though ?

Hi guys, looks like Nexus Player is finally coming to Italy, so I ordered mine a couple of days ago, and of course I was thinking about installing CM12 right out of the box... I have only seen a youtube video that shows that you need a mouse to use it, is this still true? I would 90% use the leanback launcher because I mainly will use the NP as Set Top Box - so I would like to be able to just use the remote all time...

That's not really true I saw that video and was kind of sad about how much misinformation was in it so I made my own video with more accurate information. As long as you flash the lean back gapps you won't need a mouse at all for basic functionality. I do highly recommend getting the app DroidMote which stimulates a mouse in your phone or tablet for when you do need a mouse for things (mostly sideloaded apps or non-android TV settings). Basic setup after flashing the lean back gapps requires no mouse at all.

On a slightly related note @dhacker29 can you fix the CyanogenMod Update menu on the Android TV settings to not need a mouse to click the download new update button.

Ok cool well as long as you're aware of the problem that's half the battle. Hopefully you don't have to redo the whole interface since it's only that one button that's not selectable for some reason.

Have to use mouse to select the download button in the cyan updates screen... Can't do it with remote or nexus controller

finally

i finally got thus just how i wanted. i had to install with leanback gapps first and install tv versions of netflix crackle and plutotv. then used esfile explorer to copy the folders from /system and /data for those apps and the tv youtube app and i took the overscan apk. and then reflashed everything with regular gapps and place those folders where they belong. so now i got leanback apps with overscan and full playstore. woohoo. awesome work on this rom. thanks a million.

thanks for this, I will take a look to your video tomorrow.

What else do I need to know? I am totally new to Android TV and furthermore to CM on Android TV... Do you have any useful information? For example - I read that on NP someone usually sideloads apps: what's the purpose of this? Can't I simple install them? I also new that there was an APK that made you capable of installing any app on Android Tv... What is this APK?

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

Sometimes you can't install them from the play store because they aren't officially compatible that's why you sideload then. Using es explorer's ftp server feature you can easily copy apks to your internal storage. An APK is an Android App kind of like a .exe file on windows.

Yeah we we're talking about that above and dhacker29 is in the process of fixing it.

Compatible Apps

By chance has anyone tried either Xfinity TV Go or the Fire TV's watchESPN app? Both of these apps on stock seemed to work until you clicked on a video it would then crash. I believe it was mentioned in a different thread that Xfinity worked on Lollirock so I was hoping that maybe it worked on this rom?

VPN issue ?

Great work on the CM 12.1 and CM recovery!! , easy to install for a noob like myself. I've encountered a VPN issue with the leanback Netflix app on CM 12.1 . I use unblock-us to enable all the different Netflix international versions, BBC iplayer ,Hulu Plus etc... They all work fine except the leanback Netflix app . It recognizes when I'm not in my own countries region, but the same app (tried 3 different versions) works fine on the standard nexus player 5.0 ,5.1, 5.1.1 . Does anybody have any ideas ?

 

[dhacker29]

First time writing an entire application, but why have to go to the web and install SideLoad Launcher when we can build the functionality right into the rom.
