I bought a used Shield TV on eBay with expiring eBay bucks. It was supposed to "work" but it was far from that. Nvidia was nice enough to send me the missing wall portion of the AC Adapter.
So having this thing for a week I was finally able to get it up and running only to find out that it boots into native Android.
Unless I can track down an APK the media remote doesn't work in it's current state. I've been able to navigate with a USB keyboard.
I've downloaded the files and am ready to return it back to the factory state but want to ask a few questions.
With Android phones rooting and getting a stock experience is important for devices that have too much bloat or no longer receive updates.
What's the benefit of having the Shield TV in this state? What am I gaining and losing?
I know I lose access to the Nvidia games and interface. I wasn't planning on buying their games but am interested in additional punch this device provides for emulation.
Would all of the emulation that Android currently supports have the same performance on a rooted Shield TV in this state as it would running the native OS?
I thought I read somewhere that the 3D acceleration doesn't kick in without the Nvidia software.
If I restore the Shield do I need to just enable apps from outside the Play store to get emulation working or does the Shield TV need to be rooted?
There is no DirecTV Now app for the Shield TV but there is the FireTV APK that people are using. I could give that a try but if I left the Shield TV in it's current state would all of the regular Android APK's work? Meaning the Android DirecTV Now app would work? I wanted to use the Shield with the HD HomeRun app for live TV/DVR and if I leave the Shield in it's current state I'm guessing I'd have to run Kodi for the HD HomeRun to function instead of being able to download the specific app that the Shield TV supports.
Then you have full android.running. Disputen that the sneller did not tell you , it is beter this wat. You now have complete Control of your device. Also GeForce now and alle other optioneel are stille available.
Check out the web for Zullu99 FULL android.
Check if the device is rooted, if so you van install droidmote server on the shield And the droidmote cliënt on your cellphone to control the shield.
All aps are possible to install. Not Just android tv apks.
My FireTV 1 is three years now and I am tired of Rooting, TWRPing, Flircing, Xposing, RBoxing (what a hero to us all), Blocking, Disabling, ETC. I just want a pure Android Box with Marshmallow or Nougat that will allow me use the PlayStore, Nova Launcher, and otherwise do my own thing.
So far, I've tried the Shield Pro 2017. Came with dead/bad remote, IR wouldn't work, would not finish connecting to Harmony Hub so I gave up. Been looking at several Android TV boxes but they all seem to be pigs in a poke.
Any suggestions for am alternative Streamer and Media server? Would also like to add a TV Tuner and Local or Cloud DVR. Just can't seem to find the right pieces.
Sorry for the other than FTV post.
Thanks.
Have you tried the Xiaomi Mi Box
I have a Sony 4 k TV that has a built in android 'smart side'. On another (not smart) TV I use a Fire TV stick.
I like the launcher on the firestick much better than the android launcher on the Sony TV. Is there a way I can install the firestick on the Sony TV?
I don't even know their launcher names.
Thanks.
Hi,
I need some assistance if anyone has managed to or if it’s possible updating this or similar TVs (Philips hospitality tv 55HFL5011T/12).
by default the tv is running I think Android lollipop and the User interface is not like smart TVs, not able to download new apps because no google play etc, is there a way to add google play to download new apps or update to another android version so the user interface looks like smart tv
appreciate any help
Hi,
proposal: install latest firmware + use an HDMI stick with Android TV.

Hey guys,
New here, expanding my horizon trying to learn new things.
I'm stuck with this TV, not sure if i should sell or try my luck and change this idiocy of an Android Platform Parody?
Not sure how to describe it!!
Even though its a 2015, but it really is a great TV, minus the smart part, which is curable with the likes of a Xiaomi Mi Box S, Amazon Fire TV Stick 4k and such.
Is there a way to change the platform, install a real Android TV platform, this particular Philips TV does not even have Google Play Store!!!! ( )
HI,
it's a 2019 TV... and it's a Linux based OS called "Saphi" (no ATV at all) - latest firmware is TPM196E_091.004.094.001
You cannot change the OS - use a Fire TV stick...
