Hm, yet another update. Wonder what this one does? Yeah, Home button doesn't work for me either.
it doesn't recognize the home button but i mapped the nvidia button as a click key for the home button, so every time i push the nvidia button it acts as a home button :good:

Works fine for me; just have to play around with the settings.

To get the home key working (so you dont get stuck in an app, or in a game and the back button doesn't work) you have to disable the IN:GPIO-KEYS... then in the settings, I have 'Enable special system devices' un-checked.

That is the first thing I suggest doing on every profile, and also map something to "Execute Function" - Mapper so you can bring up the mapper and you don't get stuck in a game if your settings are wrong.

Nice. I never would have thought disabling the back and power key would suddenly allow the home key to function properly (Back key as well works like it should). I always had the other thing unchecked but never tried actively disabling those two keys. Nice find.

Wipe your configuration.

Latest version is working fine.

What happens with home button? It does nothing or it just does Home function?

Tincore, I have shield and I tried two games with your apk. Mass effect and real racing. Where can I download some shield profiles?
Mass effect have difficult configuration buttons because it use touch screen for different things. Left half screen to walk and run (I don't know which option is better for this) and right half to camera. The problem is when you want to jump over an obstacle... It use touch screen again where you were.
Real racing works well, but a lot of times, the left joystick block and don't turn the car... Which option must choose?
Thanks

Actually I don't know if anybody has organized a thread in any forum. For shield it would make sense.

I dont have a Shield myself so it is difficult to tune those issues. Can you enable touches on screen and record a small video showing the issue?

Showing touches on screen (on developer options) will also help you understand what each mode does.

Hello everyone,
I am not sure if all Tincore profiles work on different devices. On the OUYA forums someone has started a thread for people to post their profiles.

Currently you cannot use one on another device.

If somebody would like to control his Linux/Windows and possibly Mac with the Shield (or any other Android device) can try the attached server.

Unzip and execute the script or the jar directly!

great to see the home button now working for the shield, being able to map the menu button to the nvidia button makes the device far easier to use, still can't believe nvidia didn't include one.

In the current beta you can remap power (nvidia) as well. In my opinion, for a power button, it is too big and too in the middle.
