I installed Lollirock, but was having inconsistent issues with using stickmount pro and foldermount. It was not working every time. I read about Android M Preview 3, so I flashed the new Preview 3 yesterday on some spare time. There was an option to format a drive as a removable storage android could read better. So I reformatted a 500gb HD I had laying around. After playing with Android M for a few hours, I decided I couldn't live with the leanback launcher the Nexus Player Preview 3 was using. So I switched back to Lollirock 2.1. I hooked the external hard drive to my computer to reformat it for Lollirock use. I guess I assumed it wouldn't work? Anyway, the drive opened up and I noticed a folder directory "lost.dir"

Lightbulb.

I ejected the usb HD, and plugged it into the usb hub on the nexus. Opened up ES file explorer (without stickmount installed at all) and what do you know..... a mounted external drive with all my content on it. This means no more stick mount and any errors associated with it. So this is a fix for having a pnp removeable storage on Lollirock 2.1. I imagine a drive formatted like this would work with any 5.1 lollipop +otg?

Lots of work, and the only reason I found this was pure accident. I hope it helps someone until @zulu99 has a 6.0 version available.

Hello, after reading your post I installed for the first time Lolllirock and guess what? 2.1 has native otg mount. Yes no more need of Stickymount. It's builtin. Mine I did not have to format in 6.0 stock at all. All I did was to erase the mounted 500gb SSD MX100 and after that it formatted it right there and was available as a usb storage. THis is great.....yeah I would like to move 6.0 but one of my critical app is not yet updated to support 6.0 so it's crashing. But now I can use Lollirock without issue. I still rooted and used foldermount for that app since it does record livestream.

By the way guys.....The only app able to record live TV on Android..........Live Media Player or USTV by the same people MDC. Google has many times removed their app from the app store. but you can get it by googling "MDC live Media Player" pretty cool. It's not yet updated for 6.0. So you will need 5.1..1

I am having issues installing Xposed. My NP is unlocked, rooted, and has the latest TWRP. I downloaded and flashed xposed-v75-sdk22-x86.zip and installed XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk but am encountering an error I have yet to see despite being quite experienced in the Nexus lineup and with the command line. In the Xposed app, it states that the Xposed framework version 75 is installed, but not active and to check the logs for details. The log is empty. Saw Post #710 that said an older version of the unofficial version worked with the NP but that before rovo89 released the official 5.1 version.

Was wondering if it was in fact possible to install the released version of Xposed for LP on Lollirock 2.1.

After latest update of cast receiver and Google play services to this date, casting is not working for me.

I still use this rom because of compatibility issues of some apps with 6.0

Hey Zulu maybe you can shine some light into this.

Thanks ahead.

I just finished getting this rom set up. I had to use adb keycode commands to pair my remote, then had to use a keyboard to install droidmote. Really good rom, much better than cm12.1 Only annoying thing is my microphone does not work from the nexus player remote. Any plans to include it?

any chance you can list the processes, im in the same issue as well just want to pair my remote but it wont let me, i just want to install droidmote

hey guys i bought yesterday my NP rooted it today and installed this rom

i have some issues with streaming from streamcloud (ive had them with the stock rom too)
the stream preloads only about 4mins then the stream stops and a window pops up with "this video cant be played"

is there any solution for this? am i the only one? should i check my router?

Might be a dumb question, but should the brightness control work? I'm thinking no but I figured I would ask.

I've noticed a few apps show up in Play Store, but I can't install them because Play Store says "this app is not compatible with your device." Is there an edit I can make to my build.prop as a workaround? The main app in question is the TWC (time Warner Cable) app. I pulled the .apk off my phone and sideloaded it on to the NP, which worked. I would like to be able to install if from the Store, though, since that app tends to get updated frequently. Any ideas?

HOW TO INSTALL XPOSED FRAMEWORK​

Download and install with TWRP recovery the file xposed-v65-sdk22-x86-by-romracer-20150702.zip from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979

After, download and install like a normal apk the file XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

From the download section of xposed framework app you can download modules.

A must have on this firmware is the GravityBox for Lollipop. Install it, enable the module in xposed app and restart. Enter in GravityBox module and click on Display tweaks -> expanded desktop mode -> immersive Go in Power Tweaks and enable screenshot in power menu and screen record in power menu if you prefer.

the result is that you can have immersive mode when you want, but with others modules you can do also many others useful things, like setting per apps the default dpi so you can set also 320 dpi for your preferred leanback-only app. module name App-Settings

How to enter easily in the power menu ? I long press on power button of DroidMote Client.
I made this video for Shield Console sorry, but on the Nexus Player is the same thing.

i've done the above but i get 2 issues.

1) the xposed says the framework is installed but not active

2) each module says " this module requires a newer xposedbridge version

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am having issues installing Xposed. My NP is unlocked, rooted, and has the latest TWRP.

same thing happened to me. xposed would work until i rooted using the method in the OP. I gave up and tried the 6.0 marshmellow ROM instead. this one still had working xposed after using the root method in the OP of that ROM. Maybe try using the root method from that post (.zip flashed in TWRP) instead using fastboot to root? or just switch to the 6.0 ROM

First, I wanted to thank you for such a nice rom Zulu99. I'm not an expert with android devices, but I've tinkered with more than a few and the nexus player was becoming a real pain in @#$% until I used your rom. Great on space, gives you FAR more options than PureNexus and the stock firmware, and everything is stable. I got everything running with Google Launcher and Leanback Launcher and TSF Launcher for shortcuts. Got RamExpander going with 2.5gb or ram. Got 30gb worth of great games running from a PNY 64gb flash connected to a 2.0 hub using the foldermount app as well as PSP, FinalBurn, Dreamcast, NDS, MAME, SNES, ect.....EVERYTHING running through the Sixaxis app using my Dual Shock 3 controller and a Rii Mini i8 wireless . All the other firmwares don't run Sixaxis right, but yours does!!! Touchscreen emulation, mouse emulation, gamepad emulation......it's so nice to be able to run it through the Nexus Player like that with all those options. And Sixaxis supports 4 controllers.

I finally have a nice little box I could easily take on vacation with me! The official Asus Nexus Player gamepad is beyond awful so the Sixaxis app is a must have so that you can get all the games running and enjoyable with a good controller. You just use a screenshot app to take a shot in-game and map the the touch controls from that screencap within the Sixaxis and you can play anything you want with a controller. I have yet to flash Cyanogenmod, but I don't think I need to. This rom works so well that I think I can make that bet. Just one question. Which version of Xposed works with the latest Lollirock release? I saw the old post, but that one doesn't work with the newer version. Is there any version of Xposed that's compatible with the latest lollirock? Again, thanks for the great rom.

Did you find an answer for this?

Any idea why my player optimize apps on every reboot. I restore all apps from a Titanium backup.
