Does this ROM work with the shield remote ?
yes should work like in the 5.1 firmware because is bluetooth, i not have one to test.
But apart some apps like kodi ( also with kodi a mouse is better ) what you can really control with directional keys ?
Or what kind of stripped down version of an app you can control with directional keys ? ( you need an app reduced in options and functionalities )
We love full Android because we can use all apps and games on TV, and to use all apps you need a mouse and keyboard and if you need more (also multi touch and specific android buttons ), you need something like DroidMote.
after a year, this very simple concept, is not clear ?
The main problem of Android TV, apart the missing Android components, is that was invented without considering users that want use a mouse, and without a mouse you are in the limbo that you already know when you tested Android TV.
The interaction with Android is the key of everything, if you can interact well with Android on TV, the full Android is 1000000000000 times better than Android TV.
And personally for me the interaction with Android on TV is perfect. You know what i use. And for this reason i love full Android.
The decision to remove the mouse from TV was made to force users in some directions and to sell better some multimedia services. An user without mouse have more limitations and big companies can sell better if an user have limitations.
But this companies, forget that Android on TV is a reality from more than 5 years and many of us are already accustomed to have all apps on TV. Propose a stripped down version of Android is really ridiculous and can be good only for users that not know the other world or for some users that use a limited number of apps ( like users that use only Kodi ) but i repeat, also with Kodi the mouse is the best way for a fast interaction.
