You have to use the k400 to set up

If you reboot with your k400 plugged in, you can complete setup and get going. The remote will pair with this rom just like it does on stock (hold home/back), however it isn't useful on full blown android at all. Your k400 is your new best friend. You can opt to download the Leanback launcher (link on one of the first few posts in this thread), however you're going to severely cut the functionality of the rom while in that launcher.
How do I pair the k400 with the Nexus Player? I tried using a unifying receiver with a OTG cable but my OTG cable won't fit in the Nexus Player (L shaped connector blocked by the HDMI cable). Was I on the right track and just need a different OTG cable? Thanks.
I just realized I have the K700 (Logitech Review keyboard), not the K400. Am I screwed?

I just came to say I have been using lolirock. This is awesome to have full android on my tv. I got a wireless keyboard with a built in mouse/touchpad. I love it. Thanks for all the work on this. It is so great.A suggestion that not many people know:
When you attach an hardware keyboard to your Android device, the software keyboard disappear. Valid also with DroidMote that simulate an hardware keyboard. If you want both keyboards, software + hardware you can.
Settings -> Language & Input -> Current Keyboard -> Hardware on / off
Look the screenshot below.
I not use the software keyboard, but can be useful in some situations.
That's going to be hard. What you can do is get a diff USB otg and everything will work. You may have to set it up with a USB keyboard and mouse then pair the Bluetooth keyboard.

I'm using the k700 from my revue as well. works just fine just pair it to a unifying receiver with a pc then plug that receiver into your nexus player.
For first setup usually i get a simple usb mouse with otg cable.
With the mouse i set up my google account, install DroidMote Server and in DroidMote settings i select " start on boot ". When the server is started i can interact with Android without problems also with multi touch apps and games and especially without bulky hardware in my hands.

Has anyone installed the default launcher that the nexus player comes with? Does everything work alright when trying it that way?
Thanks I will try those suggestions when I get back home. I need a better OTG cable as mine has that L shaped plug which gets in the way of the HDMI cable.
The remote doesn't work off the bat. Your best bet is to hook up the k400 and plug the unifying receiver into your USB through an otg cable.

For some reason after not using the device for an extended period of time I cannot wake it back up. Is this happening to anyone else? I have to unplug it and plug it back in to turn it back on...
It goes into sleep mode. You can extend the time in settings. If you don't have a mouse, you can wake the NP by pressing the button on the bottom of the NP.
Does this rom help or hinder in anyway moving apps to sd(or any external drive)? Is it the same process as stock?(stickmount + foldermount) That I can't get to work properly.
Hey, great ROM many many thanks! The one problem that I have with the air mouse MiniX Neo M1 is that the button BACK is working as ENTER. Is it normal?
Yes is normal because many air mouse are not made for Android, but for Windows. Chinese manufacturers modify Android source code to adapt some air mouse and in many case ruining the input subsystem of Android for compatibility with others input devices.
If you have an android phone i suggest to use DroidMote, not only for the fact of correct button mapping, but also for the simple and basic mouse functionality, DroidMote is many times better than an air mouse, regardless from multi-touch gestures and android keyboard.
In fact when you use an air mouse, the mouse movement is not precise specially if you want aim on a little item inside the UI, you can't assume very relaxed positions on your couch, after a bit of use tired arm and I call it mouse with Parkinson's disease.
And you save also money.
I tested many air mouse to compare, i know well what i write. You need only a good wifi like in Nexus Player and DroidMote is the best solution to control Android. If your wifi is not good you can use an ethernet usb adapter or standard ethernet port of your tv box. I write this because many chinese android tv box have very very bad wifi, but is not the case of Nexus Player or others certified Android devices.
No brand cheap Chinese devices = crap, for me. Are hardware without software but also the hardware have very low quality.

The thing is its not. The mouse doesn't wake it up. Neither does the button. I thought daydream might be broken but it wasn't that either. Seems to happen if its not used for a day. Anything less and I can usually wake it up
My k400 has never failed to wake my NP via mouse movement.
Also, couldn't you enable developer options and turn on "stay awake"?

I'm having a problem when trying to flash the system.img, is giving me an error saying FAILE (data transfer failure <to many links>
I second the k400. I have two of them. One for my Nexus Player in the bed room and one for my computer down in my living room.
