Yes. It will ask to pair with it at first boot. Press the home button 10 secs or more for pair the remote.

 

[robojerk]

WOW, Thanks!
I don't have enough free time this week but will give it a test when I can.

 

[theflashfromthecw]

Wow everything works with gapps tv stock, etc, needs added amazon game controller

I've tested this build a couple hours ago with gapps tv stock installed within twrp along with xposed and I got to say it works 100% with no lag or anything! I tested the Amazon Game Controller and it won't come up on bluetooth. Otherwise, everything in this tested build works as expected, most of the settings works unless you don't have gapps installed then it won't work properly. Thank you for releasing this and I'll get back to you in the future as time goes on!!!

The Leanback launcher setting works but some part of the setting wont open.

Hotstar dont play video in full screen.

Amazon prime android tv version dont work. App opens and works but will not play any video. Haven't tested the mobile version yet.

Will test more and give updates

And thanks to everyone for this awesome rom. Atlast i can use my fire stick.

Very awesome! Thank you so much for putting me out of my misery of trying to de-bloat the latest FireOS image and rid myself of the Amazon junk. In my setup I removed Leanback and set Kodi to start on boot. Tried several different configurations to get deinterlacing and 1080p/i playback to work, but running into choppiness issues. There's other mods I'm hoping to do like getting Xposed Edge working, but this this a great start. After that, I'd like to get the default remote configuration app working so I can modify the remote's functions, but that's down the road.

Again, thank you an everyone before you getting this to work!

(Sorry for the quality)

 

[tamojit_ray]

Another thing i found is the screen goes back after every 1min without use. How to stop that?

adb shell
settings --user 0 put system screen_off_timeout 900000

15 mins

Fixed on last build (only sets it on first boot after a clean flash)

If i want to remove screen timeout

 

[diegocr]

If i want to remove screen timeout

Try set to 0 or install app like insomnia

 

[tamojit_ray]

Try set to 0 or install app like insomnia

Do u mean to change the 900000 to 0. like this
adb shell
settings --user 0 put system screen_off_timeout 0

Some bugs in new build.
1. Some parts of status bar still show in all apps. Have a look at the images.
Zoom the images where i have marked to get good view

2. Privacy Guard pop up keeps popping

 

[diegocr]

Can test this?

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/guide-hide-status-bar-nav-bar-adb-t3654807

It worked for me. I guess u have downloaded the tvstock open gapps version.

Privacy guard issue is very known in LOS 12.1 based ROMS (In lineage12.1 for austin/ford happens the same).
@ggow I remember that you commited something that fixed that. Do you remember that commit:
