Assuming you have configured your google account in your phone, go to the Play Store (in your PC), log in, and search for any launcher. Clic on Install, and that's it (press Home on your phone when the installation finish, and select the fresh installed launcher).
Hello everyone,
I have a Lenono A806. The device was rooted and I downloaded an root uninstaller from the Play store to uninstall some apps that I couldn't otherwise.
In the process, among other apps, I deleted the only launcher I had on the phone (Lenovo Launcher) and I might have deleted the APK (not sure about the APK). The result was a black screen without any apps.
When turn on the phone I can see the home screen (same one you see before you unlock keyboard) and I also have some of the functionalities (eg messages, can make calls etc). However if I open one of these functionalities and I click on the "back" button, the screen goes completely black and the phone goes unresponsive. I tried to reset factory settings by holding the Volume Up + Down + On/Off button which opened the "Lenovo Recovery" screen and I choosing the "wipe user data (both fuse format and fuse wipe data). I also tried he install update package option and I rebooted the phone. Nothing of those worked.
Could anyone direct me towards the right way?
Thanks in advance,
Ilias
Sideload a 3rd party launcher via adb.
Try install any launcher using pc or using recovery.

if ...
you can access your file manager then I would suggest obtaining a launcher apk, putting it on your sdcad and then installing it from there via file manager. I like ADW very much - it can be had from here:

Hi everyone,
I have an unbranded (sticker brand) Android TV that apparently has a custom firmware with almost everything modified, with the most annoying thing is that they have completely removed the stock Android settings app and replaced it with a custom settings app that has hardly any options. That prevents by from doing even basic stuff such as cleaning app's cache and data. Using ES Task Manager I've verified that they actually removed the settings app and not just the launcher link.
Is there any way I can get the native settings app into the device? Is there any alternative settings app that does a good job? I can install apks from unknown sources but no ADB (no hardware connection to PC).
Also, any rooting advice will also be appreciated but this is not critical. I have no ADB but the Android version is 4.4.2 and not really updated so exploit-based roots may work.
Bump
Hi,
Did you find any solution?
i'm even not able to boot in recovery mode
Try this
Hidden Settings For Android - Apps on Google Play
It can open practical settings which some phone vendors hide for user
play.google.com

Installed this app not working, only ads being displayed but no option only white screen in middle
I get my Mate 10 (L29 from Singapur) and install the 119 update over OTA, factory reset and start to install my apps (no backup/clean install).
First of all I can not install some games over Google Play, like Clash of Clans or Radiant.
Clean Google Play storage 2x and it works, so I can install what I want.
Than I can not run some apps, like PayPal so I make again a factory reset but this time over the recovery. After factory reset I install all apps which don't work. PayPal work, Tutanota work, AquaMail work but again a lot of games "is not compatible with this device", like Clash of Clans. Clean storage from Google Play and I can install anything.
So, after this anything works but it stop after some time. I do nothing, no reboot, no installation, don't change anything on the phone and AquaMail stop working. When I open a mail I can see anything, just not the message (white screen). Tutanota stop working, I click on the Icon, saw the logo and than just a grey screen. Sometimes (after reboot) I get now this application error: https://picload.org/view/drcollla/img_20171127_102900.png.html
The strange thing is I do nothing. I use my Mate, open Tutanota and AquaMail and after this no reboot, no new installation, nothing change on the system, dont connect it ro anything but the apps stop working.
Nobody?
Settings > System > Dev. > WebView Simulat
Anything works :/
In my case the same issue was caused by turning off automatic power management for Chrome which was connected with disable Android WebView. So maybe that will be helped for all of you who will get that strange issue.

Install 61.0.3163.98 version of Android system webview and push it as system app using titanium backup.
Recently i got a 4K Android Stream box for my network plan from my ISP - ACT Fibernet in india
I have disconnected the connection due to relocation and have no ACT in the new place
The issue is the Android Box only runs in the ACT network and doesnt work in other network
Is there a way to make the android box work in other networks?
Or flash a Android TV os and make it standalone ?
As the new box has good specs and supports Steam Link and other features
New to this android TV experience. Any help would do.. :fingers-crossed:
Tech Specs
Operating System : Android 9
Main Chipset : Hi Silicon 3798M V200
RAM : 2GB
Flash : 8GB
DRM : Widevine & Playready
WiFi : Dual band (2.4G & 5G) & 802.11 ac
Ports Available : 2 USB ports, 1 Ethernal port, 1 HDMI port, 1 AV output, 1 SD crad slot
Me too looking for the same info.
Hey me to..
when they have network issue.. this is useless.
need same info
I need the same info too.. is there a way to root or install custom rom like how you do traditional android tv boxes?
I have not found the way to unlock it, but there is a work around to use it without ACT network.
----------------------
Install below two apps by sideloading the apk files.
1. Sideload Launcher
2. Launch on Boot
Open Launch on boot and mark 'Sideload launcher' as the app to boot.
---------------------
if you press accidentally home button while NOT using ACT network,
you can then also use 'Google play store' button in the remote to select the app 'Launch on boot' and open 'sideload Launcher' app.
Thanks
SK
Thank you for the sideload launcher idea and it works as expected.
I wish we have an option to install a custom launcher on this as its the Act Launcher that is causing problem when its not connected to an Act Network.
I am looking for the same - unlock the Android TV from ACT

Were you able to use the ACT TV outside of ACT network? Please let me know. Thanks
Yes I am able to use it as per above launch on boot and sideload launcher method.
How were you able to access the settings or play store when on the non-ACT network page? My device will not let me access them other than the network selection.
I'm able to access play store and other apps right from the day I bought it. On the top banner you have different pages the 2nd one is apps. Select that and scroll down, then you can see play store and other apps you have installed. Only the TV section won't work if the device is not connected to act network.
Regarding Choosing "Launch On Boot" option
How do i select the "Launch On Boot" option, please help.
If you could provide the steps or screenshot, it would be really helpful.
Alternate launchers
All my attempts at installing alternate launcher fail with
Code:
$ adb install ~/Downloads/Taskbar-5.0.1.apk
adb: failed to install /home/reshma/Downloads/Taskbar-5.0.1.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_BAD_PACKAGE_NAME: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.farmerbb.taskbar-NJD_XsOJWsvV-uhprRNnOw==: Package com.farmerbb.taskbar do not allow to install.]
Have you guys been able to find any way to install other launcher apps?
Works!
I managed to make it work with the two apps. I was looking through the Airtel internet TV forum and for that, you can enablee developer mode and use adb bridge to completely remove the associated apps to get a stock OS. However, when I try to click on build option 7 times (and more), it does not work on ACT TV. Has it been disabled on this? How can we enable developer options in this? If anyone can confirm with the same issue.

Try using developer tools app from playstore. They have disabled the 7 tap option now. Please let us know if you succeed.
Successfully worked!

Thanks for the idea. I installed the app from play store (it installs but it will not show up, you can use voice command to open or from settings). Then, it enables developer options following which I ran adblink to uninstall all apks which began with in.actcorp. One note is that the normal uninstall option in adblink will not enable you to delete all apps, it is required to use pm uninstall -k --user 0 [apk name] in the adb shell to get it done. Once done, the box works, however I'm not too sure on how to get the default android TV launcher to open up, pressing the home button on remote takes to a blank screen only. If someone can help, I'll be grateful!

Wow. This is great progress. Let me try these steps too. What I can tell you now is if you can install apks, try installing atv launcher or open play store using the voice assistant and install a launcher from there. I'll try this on my end too and see what can be done about the default launcher. Earlier, it never used to let us install any launcher apps. Sideload launcher was the only app we could install.

I was able to uninstall all the act apps. But something is blocking launcher apps from installing. Android tv home launcher is what we need to install but can't install it either from adb or from playstore. Do you have some command to force install or do you know where the blocked list is?

I faced the same issue, that's why it is hard to not reach the blank home page often. Hopefully someone has a way to install the launcher apps.

have you tried resetting your device after removing act core applications ?

Resetting restores all the apps you have uninstalled. Including the act launcher app. Another way that may work is to somehow rename the android home launcher apk to in.actcorp.actottlauncher.
And make it to install over the current app.
