Can you make this an ISO? I cant seem to get root to work.
great job !!! im gonna test it !
I have installed the latest Remix OS for PC, 3.0.207.
When I tried to run these commands:
pm disable com.jide.filelauncher
pm disable com.android.launcher3
pm disable com.google.android.launcher.layouts.device
Only the com.android.launcher3 worked, the other couldn't be found. Did it change? Also, even though I have it set to Autohide the Taskbar, it's always up for one critical app that I want to use Full Screen.
Any thoughts?
I have 1 question. Is there possibility tof somehow use cable TV (with android tuner)?

Not sure if they sell it where you are, but I'm using this with my Cable in the US. (to new to put a link up, so you can fix the URL

I want to use Android hooked up to my TV, but I have an x86 I want to use. Remix looks promising, but the launcher is an issue. With the software provided by the company I linked too, the taskbar remains on the screen even though I have it set to autohide.

We have something similar here in Czech (but it is not much common). I forgot, that you will be still using android so stupid question
Does this work on Remix OS for PC 3.0.207?
I would like to use the Leanback Launcher on Remix OS. However I would not want to mess up my current setup and have to start over.
**Edit**
Leanback Launcher did not work for me. Also this is the only command that works on the latest Remix OS
pm disable com.android.launcher3
But it does kill the Desktop, I installed Top TV Launcher 2 before doing this and after I hit the home button on my remote it guided me through setting up my new launcher. It works awesome.
The only thing I would like to know is how to completely kill/disable the taskbar. The Auto hide is ok but sometimes it reappears with some apps.

Hello My XDA Family!!
Skip's Mi TV Box (USA) Tools v1.00
I take no responsibility for anything you do to your device.
*use at own risk*
~<Before You Start>~
This works best with
MM Build MiBOX3_USA_once_r454
-or-
Noughaut Beta Build 1028
The device has to be in developers mode and you must have a USB to USB cable.
~<What's it Do>~
This tool is a bunch of scripts that uses adb commands.
It will do:
-Teathered Root (USB boot teather required) *use at own risk*
-install BusyBox
-disable/enable OTA updates
-adds SheildTV's keylayouts
-Lite Pack (like AOSP)
-Skip Pack (How I like Mine... MM version adds PurePack from NexusPlayer)
-Kodi Pack (Makes Kodi your Home Button)
-Android Pack (Makes your device look like a tablet)
~<How to>~
Do options 1 - 4, pick Marshmallow or Nougat then pick your pack.
~<Downloads>~

v1.0 release build
Hey @skippyd
First of all thx for this tool and that after half of a year I could change my launcher.
I have little off topic question - do you know what I have to do so other launchers also could put widgets on dekstop?
Launcher3 can do this, bo NovaLauncher and Lawnchair crashes when I try to put widget on desktop.
Does the tethered usb root mean I have to plug it in to a computer at every boot? Is it possible to plugin some kind of device in the USB-port to do this automatically at reboot?
I am right now running 1028, but I am having small issues, like microlag and audio stutters. Is it worth reflashing 1028 to a fresh image?
Heres something else you may like to add, the mibox doesnt come will a full set of keymaps fro other controllers (of particular interest to me was the xbox 360 wireless pads) so after some pokeing about I found keymaps here https://www.s-config.com/ouya-support-xbox-360-controllers/ and pushed these to the box and after a reboot it all worked . I dont see a reason why they would change you may be able to pull newer version from the Shield TV.
The Instuctions below are what worked for me though they are very rough and ready and I only pushed the xbox wireless keymaps
Mount Systems and push new Generic.kl
* ADB connect MIBOX-ip
* ADB root
* ADB connect MIBOX-ip
* ADB remount
* ADB push Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl
* ADB push Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl

+1 for this to be added.
Q1 (sorry): If we have a temporary root could we then zap and remove completely any unwanted apps or should we freeze/remove them like the Kindle Fire 7 using ADB to just hide them?
Q2: This seems to be the only Android box (except Shield) which has a legit working CAST function so I am seriously considering getting some to replace other boxes and Chromecasts... Does that work well with this box?
Thanks for the tool. If I get one I'm sure I will use it!

the "rooted" firmwares are userdebug firmwares.. userdebug comes with adb root shell which is y its a "tethered" root.. all this tool does is compile already available stuff into a sort of gui lol
with that being said, u cannot simply plug in "some kind of device" and have it do anything lol it has to be adb and anything u do is limited to a root shell.. this isnt root like everyone hopes for lol.. im surprised no ones done it tho

OK so either this was added to start with and i just didnt RTFM and if so im sorry and will do better next time OR its been added in which case THANK YOU. (though looking at the editied date on the post i think the former may be the case )
hello what is Skip Pack PurePack from NexusPlayer
Thanks Skippy , just ordered a male to male usb cable to finish the job (now waiting)
Looking forward to install "pure android" , lets hope your tool/scripts works on the Mi Box 3 , as in the past for my nexus devices (also with your tools)
It's always a bit of risk.
Already downloaded the 'MM Build MiBOX3_USA_once_r454' file for the usb stick.
suggestions or help/tips always welcome ( found also this on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/5fd0ry/rooting_the_mi_box_mdz16ab/ just in case)
btw, anyone succeeded with this Skip tool ? its quiet here
It works on Marsh mellow, I have yet to get Nougat to do anything but bootloop when rooting. Also, I had to change the command in the script for the SELinux disable option as it's set to Disable Verity.
I shall go for the MM version.
Btw, is it a 'Pure Android' version?
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Premium HD app
@skippyd Hello, does that work with a MDZ-16AB Global?
Mr Skippy Seems to be very quiet ....

Leanback on Fire
Android TV Launcher Ported to Fire TV
Source Code: https://github.com/leanback-on-fire/LeanbackLauncher

}
(More screenshots are attached)
Tested on:
- Fire TV Stick 2
Features:
- Can open Bluetooth and WiFi settings without the stock launcher installed.
- Opens notification center, notification settings, and displays the current amount of unread notifications.
- Can display Amazon-downloaded apps in the store for easy updating and management.
- Can open individual app's settings.
- Can sort applications by categories (video, music, favorites, etc)
- Stripped of all Google services (to prevent crashes!)
Limitations:
- Recommendations were removed (unfortunately they are too unstable and unworkable without root, though I am exploring a method of adding them back into the launcher in Alpha 3)
- As this is based on decompiled sources there are bugs that must be squashed
- The uninstall button in edit mode is broken via the traditional Android TV method. Instead use the Fire TV app menu.
- Also, the done button in edit mode is broken too. Simply use the back button on your remote
Basics:
- The menu button will open up an app menu.
- The edit favorites launcher in the settings row can be used to add apps you want easy access to. Press back to exit the selection screen.
Installation:
- Install like any other APK over ADB. (adb install [path])
- If you want the notification counter you need to execute the following command: "adb shell pm grant com.rockon999.android.leanbacklauncher android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
- If you are on firmware 5.2.6 or lower you can disable the stock launcher. See this thread for more information. I don't recommend disabling all amazon features. Only OTA and com.amazon.tv.launcher.
- You should install LauncherHijack v3 for a fully functioning home button.
- If you want Google Search you'll need to install a specific version. 've found a working 2.x series version that is better looking, more stable, and much faster than the previous 1.x version. You can get the APK here. Note: The current version of Leanback on Fire may crash if you try to use the "microphone" orb to interact with the 2.x version. Always use the keyboard orb.
A future version will remove the microphone orb. Unfortunately the latest version is incompatible but an older version works surprisingly well. I've found version 1.0.6.2108324 to be the most stable. You can download the APK here.
Notes:
-The notification counter is still in its infancy and may not always function exactly.
- The app must be restarted for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to take effect.
- I'll be posted a full guide to the various Android TV APKs that function on Fire TV soon - The guide is posed in General

Wow thanks for this. This is pretty kool. Haven't tried it on m Fire TV 1 yet, but FYI it installed and works great on my M8S Android TV box. I installed it just to see if it would work and it seems to work as intended even on a non amazon device. Will let you know how it works on the Fire TV.
I tried it on my fire tv 3 with no luck. I can see the apps but when I try to open them they just flash for a second and don't open. Thanks for all you do.

If you can send me the relevant logs (adb logcat | grep leanbacklauncher) I can try to add Fire TV 3 support
I have never used logcat but I tried to use it from adblink. Should I be tring to open the apps while it is logging and then find "grep leanbacklauncher"?

I was listing the command to get any log results from the launcher. If you're on a Mac/Linux run "adb logcat | grep leanbacklauncher" in your terminal. If you're on Windows you should be able to use the command "adb shell logcat | grep leanbacklauncher" instead. Once you've run the command attempt to open an app, hopefully an error will appear in your terminal.
Tried the command you listed and get 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have a FTV Stick 2 on 5.2.6.0 w/ OTA blocked and somehow I have an APK called "com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom.firetv". It has always been on my device and works perfectly when launched. Since it ends in ".firetv" I'm fairly certain nothing I've done to my stick brought it about and Amazon merely included it for some unknown reason (I'm guessing as an interface for the prime channel).

np, I am still very partial to AppStarter v4. Wish someone would update it. But I see myself using your version of Android TV too. So I prefer to just use a 3rd party app to control which launcher starts up at boot. Just like which app controls the Home button.

LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0)
for Raspberry Pi 3
All credits to KonstaT @ KonstaKANG.com.
Here’s my build of LineageOS 15.1 for Raspberry Pi 3. It is unofficial and unsupported by the LineageOS team. It’s for advanced users only. This build currently uses Google’s SwiftShader software renderer so display performance is probably not what you’d expect. This build is not meant as a daily driver (YET) and it’s certainly not suitable for media device use.

7.3. changelog:

FAQ
Q: I can’t find developer options, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click ‘Build number’ several times
Q: I don’t have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced restart
Q: I have no root, why? What is that hashtag on my status bar?
A: You need enable root access under Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. Root management is now integrated as part of LineageOS’ Privacy Guard and you can manage per app permissions under Settings -> Developer options -> Manage root access. You’ll have a persistent notification in the status bar when you’re running an app that uses root permissions.
Q: Settings -> Storage shows xx GB used by system. There’s unallocated space on my scard. What should I do?
A: This is a 4 GB image, remaining space on your sdcard will remain unallocated. Settings app shows unallocated space as used by system which in reality it is not. You can use e.g. GParted and extend /data partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p4) to cover the unallocated space.

How to update rom without erase data and install gapps?
Let me try this ine
This sounds promising i have to go find a pi 3 now
Shutdown ?
This might be a stupid question but ... how I can shutdown my Raspberry with this version of Android ? I have no power button like other Android devices
EDIT : I've found a way to add a button next to the return, recent app and home buttons, for anyone who want to do the same thing it's in parameters > buttons > buttons and disposal (or something like this, I'm french sorry :/ ), here you can add a custom button, select in the popup "key code" and search for "Power" in the list. After that you will have to select an image for the button ( download this one in white for example).
That's it ! You can power off your Raspberry
But I have another problem, I can't set up a wallpaper, I have a black screen... Any solutions ?
The ROM need a lot of work every app not responde and a better ROM nougat or lower for pi3?
If you want to use a Pi as a computer with browser and stuff, use https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
or https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-desktop/.
If you want use a Pi as a mediaplayer, use https://libreelec.tv/downloads/ or https://osmc.tv/download/.
If you want to use android, dont buy a Pi.

Current worlds record is 9 different USB thumb drives til it finally worked.

It worked, but I figured 8.1 was better in some respect. Can’t rollback now
You can roll back just download the stable 8.1 file. My question is how stable is this beta? I use my mi box everyday for live channels. It's essentially my cable box. But I want the ability pie gives you with the Private DNS option. Can anyone confirm if it's live on Android TV pie?

Tutorial
Hi!
There are a a lot of tutorials about installing Andoid Apps stores, etc, etc.
I gonna let you here a way that i found to install Android Apps even if you are not logon in to App Store!
To be able to do this, your computer must meet the following requirements:
Windows 11
At least 8 GB of RAM ( less and you will get some lags)
At least a DUO CORE 3.20GHz CPU
Enabled Virtualization feature
Change Country & Region: U.S. ( You can return to your location after)
You will need Android SubSystem installed on WIndows 11 and for that you need Amazon App Store, even if it will be impossibel to use, you need to activate some Windows Optional Features and finally activate virtualization on your Bios ( serach Google how to do it for your motherboard!)
Lets get Start!!!
To Enable Windows Optional Features, go to Start menu, in search box type OptionalFeatures.exe then open it, select Virtual Machine Platform and OK.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
!Restart your PC!
After Restart, lets get Amazon App Store for that you need to change Windows System language, go to Start, search box and type location and select "Change country or region", in that window that oppened select "country or region" tab and change it to United States!
After that go to this link to get Amazon App Store!
Install it and close it ( don´t need it any more). ( You can return location to your location now)
Now go to Start, type in serach box Android and you will see Android Subsystem app, open it, enable developer mode. You will get a IP and door in developer mode tab like this 127.0.0.1:48406.
Now download this SWA_Setup.zip that i create to get easier to install APK by Pick and drop over batch to install, just pick Apk and drop over DropToInstallApk.bat.
Open zip and extract my tool to Desktop.
( NOTE: Not all Android app will work some of theme need google system or phone Android system!!!!)
Open SWA_Setup folder, open the batch files (.bat) like text file and change the IP and door to your IP and door that you get form developer mode option. ( check image above to see where IP and door is) Save batch. ( Check Image bellow to see where you must change in both batch files)
In Android SubSystem window you need open files first to start Android system ( image bellow) before execute Setup batch (SettingUp.bat) or install any apk through pick and drop. When you already had any app installed only need to start app to start Windows Android System.
Ok! Lets Setup and add apk!!!
I create SettingUp.bat that will Install a Manager app and Aurora App Store ( Google Play Store Clone).
You can download and install trough Aurora App Store but if you want to try another way go to Apkmirror site, search your apk, download, change name to short name ( Apkmirror give a hudge name to Apks and some times get error when installing...), paste inside SWA_Setup folder, pick the apk and drop overDropToInstallApk.bat! Done!
Your apk is on Start menu! Example i add Heroes Evolved from Apkmirror!
To unistall just do right click over apk/app and unistall it or use Manager app!
Note: Game need gamepad to play and mouse
After all Setup is very easy to work with Windows Android Sytem or any installed Apk because its part of system like any other aplication from Windows.
Enjoy it!

Hi!
Happy Easter to All!
I Update main post!
Is it possible to get apps that control things on your local network to work? Like the roku or Sonos app? These apps think they are offline. So it can’t see my devices. It says to check WiFi.

By default they are built for smartphones, i don't know if they detect wifi or cable connection from PC.
Thanks. Wonder if there is a work around For this. WSA does think it’s a pixel 5. I guess we would need to get a local IP first. So it can see your local network. It seems like these apps need WiFi. Or to make them think WiFi is active.

Yes, must be build some bridges between Android apps and Windows, especially in detecting and reading hardware configuration from pc. Don't forgot that is a Android emulator.
I don't have the knowledge for that but maybe picking some features and tools from already known vm machines and complete the Windows vm machine for will help. Its basic.
This is all new for now, probably in future some will find a way to root, etc, etc.
Hi!
Checking Windows Android System i noticed that build for Windows 10... Does any one had try this tutorial on Windows 10?
Thanks for this tutorial.
I have a question, which is not totally related to this tutorial, but maybe you can help me.
I installed the Amazon AppStore on windows 11 from the Microsoft store, but I can't access it. The Amazon AppStore app starts, I enter my Amazon credentials and then there is a "continue" button but if I press the continue button, nothing happens. It remains blocked, although I am logged in with my Amazon account.
I'm going to use Aurora Store next, but I wish I could access the Amazon AppStore too, at least to try it out.
Any idea what could be stuck?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.
The problem is solved.
I first used the aurora store and then strangely the amazon appstore started working, I don't know why.
Is it possible to add Google Services afterwards?

There is no safe way yet.
I'm new to Android apps on Windows 11. I've installed the Textra SMS app successfully and it starts. However, it wants me to specify the app as the default SMS app for Android. I've set the Windows default app for SMS to Textra, but that doesn't help.
How do I get to Android settings as they would appear on an Android phone where default apps can be set?
Thanks.
windows 11 letting me change region but will not let me install amazon?
Changed region and keyboard etc just in case! but Amazon not available in my region?
