So i got a MK802 android 4.0 USB stick and have it set up on my bedroom tv.
I can choose and tweak, to use a setup with Android settings as a big phone a regular phone or a tablet. But i was hoping that there was something like a TV launcher. I have found a project on github (see link below) but have no idea if it will work on 4.0 or even if it is what i am looking for.
I was hoping someone knew of a tv friendly launcher.
For example i really like the look of something like this:

It would be way more useful for my purpose, than the standard android os.

I have not seen it yet, but maybe someone could help me by compiling an APK from this:
https://github.com/rharter/Android-TV-Launcher
As far as i can tell from reading,it seems to be somewhat what i am looking for.
Don't take this the wrong way but did you explore the github page you linked to?
There is a compiled version in its bin files section with the word debug in the filename and it does work. At least on gb as I just installed and checked before replying.
It simply shows every app on the device but in one easy to navigate strip across middle of the screen but download it and see if it is what you need

Oh my thats embarrasing. But thanks.
I wrote the developer but he sadly gave up on the project. I would love to just to be able to select which apps that shows up in the launcher. Thqt should be a small adition to add an app drawer and a selction of which apps to appear in the launcher. Oh well.. My search continues. I just don't have any idea where to go from here

Guys, there is one very good application released on PocketGear. I have it on my s740 and apart from being perfect new Start Menu with some very very useful features it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active. Also it has Task and Process Manager and it is fully animated.
I wrote an article about it at wmpoweruser.com/?p=13748 (still can't post links, sorry for that) with screenshots and with more details. There are some bad comments about design of application, but it looks like people don't realize that this is for Smartphone/Standard device only, with QVGA resolutions most of the time.
Maybe it's just me, but I think that this looks really good for a Smartphone application.
Hy!
Thanks for sharing....looks not bad....a little "Iphone"-Like.....but i like the app "htc3dmenu" from here:

I tried many apps to customize the Start-Menu and i think thats the best....its fully animated to....you had to do a little work at the shortcuts but when its done its the best menu ever......
But i will also link yours....

I didn't try that one. Didn't even know it exists
What I like about Ultimate Start is T9 search of applications. Just like in Contacts. Very fast way to get to any application, bookmark or java application.
Many developers are dropping prices (WP7 is getting closer). This application is now only 1$, 80% off!
thanks for posting the link to "htc3dmenu" that looks realy cool!
i use it with the WM 6.5 sliding media panel that gives it a far more newer look than the default one.
thanks!
Hello, i hope i'm in the right section.
I need some help with display within a game project. I did some research and i can't find a convenient answer. I want to use imageButtons and not just Buttons. I currently use setImageResource (drawable) for my unit and setBackgroundResource (drawable) for background.
I'm missing some info on the screen, let's say HP for an unit or any kind of text.
Here's what it looks like :

Is there a way to do so ?
Thanks for your time

While i'm not completly sure (my month of devolpment hasnt gotten me that far) you should be able to edit the acutal image that you have for the charectors with image editing software like gimp. You just go to the add text tool and add the text that you want to. I will edit this post if i find a more efficent way of doing this.
Hello
I know that's a newby question (I am almost asame to ask), but I have search without any success
It did come to my hand a wondermedia wm8650 with Android 2.2 and it surprise me the "desktop application" (if I can call it like this) that is has :
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

maybe you could extract the launcher from that rom and use it on your tablet. Or ask the guy who made the ROM if it is possible!
ok, so that's not an app I could install it ...
it more a (library?, module?) that I should put somehow into a new room and flash it to my table ..
(easy days those of the PC...)

It should be an app but it's not sure that it will run on any other Rom/tablet rather then the one it was built for
Send from beneath my cloak of magic
RTtP (Right to the point)
Download or start up your favorite build.prop editor. (ROM Toolbox is what I use)
After opening your build.prop editor, look for persist.splitwindow.support_all (located a little above the middle of the list)
It'll say False... So simply change it to True and then reboot.
Now test it out. You'll notice real quick why this setting isn't enabled... Not all apps have been scripted to support this feature yet. Feel free to post screen shots of apps that work nicely with this feature "unlocked".
Last thing: I am NOT responsible for any damages to your device. But if you have questions... Fire away.

That was the first mod that I did after rooting my Sprint LG G3 - I went to the Play store and download the pay version of "Multi Window Mod" for LG G3, and you can add only the apps that you want and organize them any way you want - more like my Galaxy S3 with "Multi Window Manager"
I have about 175 apps total so having them all in Multi Window Choice doing it via a Build Prop mod was to overwhelming for me. Yes, I do use that many apps (some more frequent than the others)
Check it out if if you have a lot of apps!
Hello dears,
I was looking for news on our G8x and I found an interesting contest did by LG about the V50s about the best wallpaper dual-screen. The contest is terminated by not the way to make it!
You can find the instruction (ok it is Korean...) and the PSD file for templating here: https://blog.naver.com/grafolio/221667944038
Cheers,
I still do not understand how to make.
Nice find. Thank you for sharing!
Lg is so bad about making resources like this available to consumers in the US...
Will try it out tomorrow
I was able to translate that page using google translate and sort of figured it out. I downloaded that LG G8X photoshop template and made a version for my V60.
I then downloaded a nice wallpaper from here, split the image, added a black space to the bottom of it (so my text icons stick out) and inserted them into my phone.
I then applied each image to each screen.
I don't think it turned out bad. image here
I think the hard part is trying to find an image.

what kind of launcher are you using?

I'm using Nova launcher. But I assume you are wondering how I got the folders to be just names. I use TextIconCreator version 4.7.1 (last updated in 2012) which I carry over to each phone I upgrade to. It doesn't seem to be on the play store anymore. But Simple Text-Text Icon Creator does the same thing I believe and that is still available in the play store.
@sev7en Thanks for sharing the link and getting us started!
I was inspired so I may dump some L/R wallpapers here once in a while.
