New Launcher - Fire TV Themes and Apps

This morning I was testing a whole bunch of launchers to no avail except this one I found on a Chinese site ---> http://translate.google.com/transla...w.nduoa.com/package/detail/283904&prev=search
It's neat (my opinion) and I will like to use it as my main launcher, kind of late for work but I think I saw some aftv launcher helper in an earlier thread will try when I get back home. For some reason the Fired tv 1.1.5 has stopped manually loading when I boot up (framework everything update)
I've uploaded some pics
APK direct link ---> http://static.nduoa.com/fmle/847/847460/1564539/com.uprui.tv.launcher.apk

This looks interesting. I'll give it a try tonight. I'm using NOVA and love it except for the system wallpaper issue. I wonder if this uses it's own wallpaper or uses the android system wallpaper.
Here is an official English website.

They also have an Afire Tv Launcher that looks like Windows 8.

Cool find! I'm anxious to try them out after work!

Neat!!!! I tried one similar to the Afire Tv Launcher but the settings wasn't opening up but i'll try it again later because the one i did wasn't named "Afire Tv Launcher"

It does look nice. Are you rooted?

I played around with both and although they both look visually nice, they aren't very user friendly for customization. Back to NOVA for me.

I cannot download from the direct apk download link posted. Can someone re-list the apk?
For those of you that are running Nova Launcher on firetv. Can you use the firetv remote or is a mouse required? I have found that some launchers wont work as they were not intended for non touchscreen devices. Let me know.
Thanks guys.

The remote does work with Nova, as well as Go Launcher, Apex, and pretty any others you can install as far as I know. I probably wouldn't recommend Go Launcher, though, even though I do use it on my S4 and Tab 3 8.0. On the Fire TV, it just acts a little odd. For instance, when you bring up the menu for preferences, etc., practically nothing happens when you click on the available options. If that's not a big thing for you, the rest of the launcher works fine, you just can't really tweak that much.

I use square home launcher (tablet edition) and it works perfectly. It supports live wallpapers and I use aftv helper with everything in unison.

ADW launcher update

ADW have just updated their launcher - makes it have more ics flavor - it was a good launcher but it is now AWESOME!
It is indeed now even more awesome than before. Love it.

Positive - Version 1.3.3.5 - Updated today.

It's the EX version that was updated.
Which one are you using ? All I see is one dated from last year.
This was updated today
It's got HW acceleration enabled. By the way, for those that have it, how do you access widgets? Same as stock method ?
Widget by the old way of press and hold on the home screen.

Ah, question answered
The only thing I need it for is the capability to cram more into the same space. Love the freedom to splice the display in more rows, was a little disappointed that even with ICS they still have the 5x4 grid :/
IMO better but it is obviously a personal choice - I like animations and eye candy - some like every thing just stock.
To me, android is about customisation.
I like the ability to landscape the home screen - too bad it lags so much.

[Q] Spotify

Has anyone gotten spotify to work? I've tried the official apk and it displays sideways and only on part of the screen, and I've also tried KFSpotifyAndroid.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417863 which displays properly but when you login the app immediately closes.

I'll give that a try this afternoon when I get home. Alternatively would anyone know where to find an apk for the official kindle fire version of spotify?

That did work to fix the orientation but the app is not responding to any key presses on the fire tv remote. I'm going to give a keyboard a try.

Thanks for the advice on the rotation app.

You might try the Kindle tablet version of Spotify and let us know how it works. A working version of Spotify is the only thing holding me back from getting one of these things.

Well it is working for me with just a couple caveats. I have to use another app to fix the orientation and I have to use a keyboard/mouse to navigate, which isn't that big of an issue for me since it's nice to be able to type in my search queries easily.
And I believe in post #4 screwyluie linked me to the kindle fire apk. I tried that out and it still had the orientation issue so I just went with the official apk from spotify.
I decompiled the Spotify APK (latest version from my S4) and removed any android:screenOrientation="portrait" attributes from the AndroidManifest.xml file. It now shows up in the correct orientation for me. I used an attached keyboard/mouse to login, but after that I've just been using the Amazon remote to click through things on my playlists (on some of the screens, it helps to push the the left before scrolling up or down). If you hit the search box, the on screen keyboard shows up... so while it's not perfect, I think you can get by with the standard remote.
I've posted a build here if you want to try it:
httttp://d-h.st/Lel
Gave it a try but it's not letting me input text at all.

Ill tell.you something .. i tried this on many phones .. its just a very normal live wallpaper that works very normally the only time it starts to act weird is due to the mechanism of the different skins that comes from different manufacturers and thats because every ui handles live wallpapers differently .. this has worked on my nexus 6 and 6p .. pixel XL .. htc u12 .. i noticed it only act weird on samsungs because of the heavy skinning ..
I believe as long as you run nova launcher .. lawnchair and use google wallpapers app it should run fine .. the problem i dont have a samsung phone to research this closely
Is making such live wallpapers (with other/custom videos) hard? Are there any tutorials that could help me make something like this?
???

Dude, really? The device isn't even released yet...
It's Android 10. It's going to be the same. It's been the same for the last 5 releases. The question is about the date. And those aren't 2 widgets. It's the stock implementation of the "At a Glance" and the Android clock widget...

You can't get rid of it. Just grab a custom launcher. It's funny how people differ in opinion, I can't go without that bar now at the bottom. Use it to search everything and being right there is so convenient.
Keep it fairly simple, using Nova Launcher Prime and Fancy Widgets for the clock/weather.

Yeah, funny you say that. I didn't even turn that on on my pixel 3xl. And it's off on my 4xl as well.

And if I'm searching something differently, I just say hey Google.
