OK so far so good, took a while to install but besides seems to be working well

Unable to pair my Amazon fire TV remote with it though and that was working with your standard 5.0 build

Great work thanks!

Also the volume controls on the CTRLR don't seem to work

im bootlooping

anything to do with flashing root?


EDIT-
3 flashes with root = bootloop, 1 flash without = success

Any other reviews so far? I'm happy with Cyanogenmod 12 at the moment, but would love to hear some feedback on Android TV. So far 45 people have downloaded the rom. That includes me, but I haven't installed it yet.

 

[Aerofreak360]

I find it a bit limited to be honest. Plus my remote doesn't work the best with it (until I open a side loaded app where it works fine)

Love that I can control the main menu with my watch via the app for the phone to control android TV.

On the whole I'm 50/50. I'm happier accessing my own database of movies via kodi than all the recommended moves that take up most of the interface..... But it looks much better which is why I'm not sure on wether to keep it or not.

gj ! works fine with a few issues only.

Remote app works ok except for voice (tried with a Nexus 7)
Cast receiver works only for Youtube but it works(ish).

Install Sideload Launcher from the web playstore then you can switch to an alternate launcher to launch non 'Android TV' apps (it's ugly but it works).

a few apps i tried:
Kodi ok (little display glitch when changing the sound volume, could be system wide not only kodi)
Chrome ok
ES File Explorer File Manager (great to sideload apk from network) ok

can't set the sound level with the remote or multimedia keyboard
'backspace' key not working as 'back' with multimedia keyboard

Check this G+ community for a lot of apk's that works with it (Nexus TV/ADT-1 TV Apps BANK on the left menu)

must have: Netflix not working is a deal breaker.
would be nice to have: root too or something to shutdown/reboot/go to recovery.

Do you know how long it takes to boot the first time?
Been watching the swirling ink spots for over 10 minutes now

Edit: Solved, was trying to boot as rooted. After installing with out root booted just fine.

 

[kaiserclaw]

How can I install regular launcher?

Thank you

I want to thank @Unjustified Dev for all the work he has put into improving the MOJO. I flashed this ROM without any issues aside from root. I first flashed it with root and it would not boot. I then flashed it without root and it launched without any issues. Outside of the known Netflix crash (which is a deal breaker for me) everything seemed to work well. I have also come to realize that I don't think Android TV is for me. The UI is great but it makes me feel very limited. Maybe it is just my lack of knowledge about Android TV, but, it seems to lack some of the main features of Lollipop that I depend on, like multiple profiles. I also don't like the way that the Playstore is accessed. It seems like there are a number of significant apps that should be on a TV device, like Amazon Instant Videos and HBOGo, that are not available from the limited PlayStore. Lastly, the inability to root the device is another issue that I am not willing to stay with.

I will explore Android TV on the MOJO more over the weekend. As of now though I think I will be sticking with CyanogenMod 12.

I installed it and it the ROM worked great. It didn't see my SD card though, not sure if that's android TV or the ROM though. The first time I installed root and went into boot loop, so I reinstalled and it went right through. So far I like the cm12 better though so I went back to that. I may try again after a week or so. Great work and thanks!

I went back into TWRP wiped Cache, Data, and Dalvik. Then installed the zip again. When it asked if I wanted to install SuperUser I didn't install it thus not rooting the devise.

Ok, so now Im stuck at something that appears to be a wallpaper. After the "first-setup", after pressing yes on Location nothing happens, just a bluish wallpaper. I can move the cursor but thats it. Anyone got a clue ?

 

[Aerofreak360]

Blue but with white down the side? If so, sounds like an internet connection issue

Ok, so the rom may not like the ethernet connection. The thing is it says im logged in. Will try with the wifi

Hi ! I was asking myself about the feasibility of porting this ROM to the Nvidia Shield. I see there is a CM12 and an Android TV for the MOJO, but nothing for the Shield. They both have the same SoC, so maybe someone could guess how hard it could be ?
Having some Android TV features on the Shield (portable, not tablet) could be great I think, the launcher optimized for controller first.

We need to first port 5.0 to the shield. Not very hard to do it needs to be done based on an aosp tegra build as attempting to port a nvidia optimized build doesn't turn out well. So first you need to sync nvidia latest Roth branch and build 4.4.2 then you can base all source from that build. The binaries will be different and have different dependencies. Once that's done porting this will be fairly easily you only need to implement your audio with the current port I would not base it off of my port because I have tons of hacks hex edited blobs to load symbol we are missing from 4.2.2
