[Q] anyone know how to make a Fpse homescreen shortcut that directly loads a game?

Hi all,
i've scoured both the net and forums for the answer to this;
basically i'd like a link to say MGS on my homescreen, similar to what the 4droid emulators do, but using fpse. Has anyone managed to do something like that? had a quick look at the fpseCE forums but it wasn't much help; i know that apps like bettercut can create custom shortcuts with the option to add (what i believe to be) parameters... no clue how to go about loading a game though.

im bumping this as i would like to know if this is possible also

Maybe tasker can do it

wahey! i couldn't believe i was the only one that was after this functionality!
I haven't got tasker, but if it's anything like bettercut (lists of 'actions' from applications) i'm leaning towards a no. Anybody got this that could give it a go please?

any solution for this yet?

RE
The feature was listed in the change log of a recent release.
Something like. 0.11.26 or so.
I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, though.
I don't see it in my widget screen like the other emulators...

yep it was introduced a while back; there's a "create shortcut" command somewhere in the menus. it'll create a shortcut and add it automatically to ur homescreen =]

Yup, enter a game, press the menu button, go into settings, misc, create shortcut. It's the 2nd to last option

it will give you the option of selecting one of the launchers as a default
so when it gives you the option, check the box where it says make default and then select the launcher you like

There is an app in the Market called "Home Switcher for Froyo" (make sure you use the one that states it is for Froyo as it is also Gingerbread compatible and the earlier version IS NOT).
Download and Install this app and when you press the home key next time make sure you click the check box that states "make this your default home screen" and that menu will go away.
If you want to use any other launcher you have installed later on then go to the app "Home Switcher", click on it and you can then launch whichever launcher you want to use from the app itself.
Hope that makes sense to you. Welcome to the land of the FREE and the home of the CUSTOMIZABLE!!!

[Q] Request: Hide onscreen keyboard overlay

Hi fellow firetv enthusiasts,
first of all thank you for the many tweaks and great progress that is made daily with the firetv box.
With the recent root release the box has finally replaced my ageing apple tv 2.
The only thing that is missing right now is a way to change the input method via the settings in order to employ a keyboard like "null keyboard" and to hide that huge ons creen keyboard.
Has any of you succeded or found a way to get rid of that dreadful huge keyboard box?
Can we use Xposed to modify the settings.apk and unlock language or keyboard settings?
Every input helps and is much appreciated!!!
best regards from Germany

I've seen some keyboard settings while poking around the file system but I'm very, very hesitant to do anything significant until we get a recovery option.
I feel your pain, though. It's ridiculous that Amazon hid this front us.

Null Keyboard app
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wparam.nullkeyboard
https://www.dropbox.com/s/spsemqwbq95mat9/Null Keyboard-com.wparam.nullkeyboard-5-vone.apk
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2e9dm39nr8rw70/Settings.apk
I had to download it to my phone first.
Download and install Null Keyboard and settings.apk if you don't have it already.
Open settings (settings.apk)
Scroll down to Language & Input
With a mouse click the box for Null Keyboard then click OK
Then click Default - With a mouse then click Null keyboard box
It should now say 'Null Keyboard' under Default

I couldn't get that to work,so here is what I did.
Open ES File Explorer and enable root explorer to gain root access with ES.
Then go to "system/app/" and rename BuellerIME apk and odex to "BuellerIMEx.apk/BuellerIMEx.odex" and now it should no longer torture you by opening randomly.

oh sweet it worked!!! the keyboard is gone!!! i would say this box os perfect now
thank you!!!!

Anyone know how to tie an app to XBMC home screen?

I bought a preloaded FTV so I dont know anything about how these are setup. I tired to search but I cannot find anything as Im sure Im using the wrong wording. Anyway, there is an Internet option on the XBMC home screen that was tied to FF browser. I wanted to change which app that button launches. How can I do that? I have the app already side loaded... Thanks!

I need to find out here the app is so I can assign the ' Default select action '

Depends on the skin, you can customise some skins and change the buttons around. It's under appearance and then skin settings, depends on the skin how it is implemented though.

What skin are you using? What do you want to add to the home screen menu?

ITs Aeon Nox. I did find where the options are to change button name, what shortcut to apply to it etc. Im going to assume that I need to use the Custom option and type in the location of it on the storage where its located. Since it'll be pulling the app from the FireTV side of the AFTv ( Its side loaded... ) The only way I can access it now is by going all the way back to AFTv screen and going to settings and all apps ( or something like that )

If you want a button for firefox in aennox just add firefox to your favorites, then select it from your favorites when setting up the button.

Or if your using Aeon Nox 4, you can add it directly to the Home screen.
Go to System > Appearance > Skin (Settings) > Custumizer (Main menu item customizer)
Then on the Main menu, select the item you want to add as a custom menu item and select it. If if has a red X on it, then select "disable" to enable it, then select "Choose Type".
Now select "Custom" and in the keyboard box type in:
StartAndroidActivity("your.app.apk")
So for example Netflix would be:
StartAndroidActivity("com.netflix.ninja")
You can do this for either the main menu item or for sub-menu items.

Thanks!!!

How do I add Firefox to my favorites
Or how do I find the directory where Firefox is so I can type it in the custom StartAndroidActivity section

Finally got iy. I had to go back into the Confluence ++ skin, add the app to my favorites and then go back into the custom Aeon Nox skin and then add the app from favorites...

Hiw you did it ?

Disable the stock launcher.
Google TV:
uncobliss • 04/27/22, 12:21 pm •Who has Google TV and want to install a third-party launcher (only the basic settings button does not work):
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith
cmd package set-home-activity "your launcher"
Android TV:
wowikv • 04/26/22, 04:13 •For those who want to disable the debility stock launcher AFTER installing another one (tested on ATV firmware, who has Google-look at the end of the topic), you can use the instruction,1) (Post by ramrasul05) I did it through the phone and the Remote ADB Shell program from the playmarket according to this instruction, if you need to turn it back on, look here:2) (Post by funny467) It contains commands and a listing of installed programs. (I know that there are other ways).
do not forget to turn OFF USB debugging before rebooting, otherwise the port will not work, just like a mouse in a single port, you will have to go into the settings from the remote control and do unnecessary manipulations: (DO NOT BE SCARED) press the gear on the remote control and go to the last line "additional settings "and from there get to turn off usb debugging and then reboot.
You do everything at your own RISK!!! So that later there are no complaints against me. I succeeded the first time. When writing commands, observe the necessary spaces, take screenshots so that you can understand if something goes wrong later.
I have a launcher installed: ATV, Tele TCL 65 C728 firmware 072, ATV firmware, not Google!
(On the TV SONY 43WF804 android 7, this method has also been tested).
For those who misunderstood something which command to enter or cannot turn off the launcher, PERSONAL: pm disable-user --user 0 [stock].
I have not experimented with other programs yet, because the goal was to disable the stock launcher.
The old launcher can always be turned back on, the turn-on command is in the second link. After turning off the stock launcher, the mouse became without brakes, like the general interface, personal opinion.
If you need programs to control the volume, brightness, navbar with the mouse, I'll post it here:

PS The KillApps prog can be closed with one poke all applications up to the system ones, just do not overdo it. Those system programs that periodically run in the background again, I put in favorites, because there is no point in stopping them.
KillApps_com.tafayor.killall.apk ( 2.35 MB )
Here in the topic they asked what kind of access point the TV creates. So, when the Miracast program is running on the TV, which serves to broadcast content from the phone screen to the TV screen, it starts. it can be turned off when not in use, after a reboot it usually starts up again.
Since the TV set does not have root, in order to install any widgets in the ATV launcher, you need to long-press the mouse or remote control on the upper free field of the ATV launcher, select any widget and when installing it, the system will display the command that you need to enter via ADB, choose the one that for the PRO version of the launcher. Also, with a long press on the free field of the "ok" button of the remote control or the left mouse button, the launcher settings menu will be displayed, where the android settings will be present. you can stop this application, clear its cache or see the version, etc.
Below is an excellent gallery in Russian, instead of the stock one, in which you can use any pictures instead of a splash screen.
For fans of retro like NES or Spectrum, I can lay out programs for the TV set and a way to connect to them via a phone as a joystick, most likely a separate topic, so a whole "footcloth" turned out. For questions "how to make the right mouse button work or is it better to take it with side keys ?" - I will answer in a personal (QMS).
Whoever has Google firmware needs such lines to turn off the stock
launcher, however, there is an opinion that the button on the remote control "gear" does not work and you have to go from the tile, or do this activity button, I'll attach a screenshot, I personally tested the activity: (Uncobliss post

Is there any ADB command to grant access to folder like Android/Data ??
Or to force apps to launch on boot ?
