List of Apps - Needed/Missing

I thought I'll compile a list of IMP apps that are missing. If someone knows a decent alternative to these please suggest.
1. Amazon
2. Kindle - I know this is coming
3. Skype
4. Good IM app - Like Fringe or Palringo
5. Comics reader - comixology (DC or Marvel)
6. Ustream or QIK
7. Dropbox or an app for SkyDrive

I found a app called Ustream Viewer in market place. May be it's what you search ?

1. Palringo
2. Qik
3. Siriusxm radio app
4.Opera Browser (hoping they allow alternative browsers with a future update)
5. Google Maps
6. Loud Talks (a nextel chirp app from winmo)
7 Private Chat ...an app from android that locks ur fone and gives u 2 passcodes it gives u a dummy code that will open another app and a real code to get u to ur text messages

Opera Mini - absolutely
BTW, InternetExplorer doesn't support my banks online banking

BeejiveIM > Fring and Palringo. Beejive is more apt to use Push Notifications, removing the need to multitask the App, ever... It's expensive, though. I downloaded the Android trial and 2 days later Facebook added chat. Byebye Beejive
There's also WhatsApp.
The first smartphone OS to offer a worthy alternative to Blackberry Messenger will win big, I think
Microsoft said they won't disallow apps that duplicate functionality, but I don't know if they'll allow you to change the default browser.

That would be very bad. Opera Mini is even available on iPhone.
It's the best solution to browse when travelling.

after how many years though?
the reason you won't see opera/firefox/chrome on wp any time soon is due to the restrictions still on the languages. wp uses VB/C#, which does not allow for C++ which a lot of these more complex programs are written in. Though OEMs have capabilities to write native code.

I am pretty satisfied for the most part with the apps on my HD7 but I do want Skydrive integration and limited multitasking for apps like LastFM.
Bing also should be updated to match the superior iPhone app.

Many things have to be improved.
IE is great but lacks support for many features.

I got an app for amazon in "testing" in the marketplace. I can give out the xap if you like it, It's gonna be free anyway.
It has limited functionality at this time, but I'm improving it as I found new things to add.
Here are a couple of screenshots

1. Official Google Voice App - I know it might be a problem to intercept outgoing calls and/or using GV when you tap "Send Text" from the People Hub, but an official app from Google would probably be more fluid than what's available now. GVoice is a good solution for now, but it could use some small improvements. Who better to do that than Google?
2. I know emulators are not allowed, but I'd like to see a homebrew PSX and SNES Emulator. I'd definately pay the developer for it, Paypal maybe since Marketplace won't allow it... that's how it's done for WinMo.
3. BeyondPod

FTV Fixes For Rooted Users

This is for all of those things that make Fire TV irritating at times like the frustrating search keyboard that always pops up when using a browser.
There has got to be an app or service you can disable to make the onscreen search keyboard stop appearing so we can seamlessly use any web browser uninterrupted.
Maybe we can also get a different onscreen keyboard that can be toggled if needed for whatever reason.
Whenever a fix for removing the onscreen search is found,or if it was already found,please post it in this thread with instructions on how to do it.

There's an app called Null Keyboard but without the ability to select a different keyboard It's not usable. :/

Seems a bit pointless to mention it at all,in that case. lol
Just want to sedate the onscreen search box.
The biggest drawbacks are that you can't go back to a certain word to edit it,and you can't hit enter to make a new line for more sentences.
It also automatically reloads the page in flash browser,and it always randomly appears in FireFox simply because a search bar exists on the webpage you navigated to and it also manipulates the page when backing out,thus opening again immediately when the page loads again,possibly trapping you in an infinite loop unless you press the home button to leave it entirely.
In some cases,it can be inescapable even after typing something.
Another thing to fix by changing it is microphone acccess for apps that utilize it.
I don't know if this can be fixed wthout getting something custom.

You can try the firedtv launcher from the themes + apps forums. Not default but sounds like it does what you want.

That is pretty interesting. The last part (patterns) looks like it whitelists anything for amazon. Wonder if we can just use "*" and have every installed app show?

Where are the strings coming from with the question marks in them? I doni't see them in the JSON file.
I tried appending org.xbmc.xbmc to the list with no effect.
I think a JSON call is some flavor of database call, and what the list is really saying is "these apps can make that call."

I just thought it was striking that the google play store url was so similar to the the listed amazon packages, thought that might give a opening to change "amazon" into "play.google" somewhere to get acces to google instead of amazon apps directly.

It has nothing to do with urls. Those are the package names and the developers just decided to name their packages in a way that you can tell if it was from Google or Amazon. Also, the "Your Apps Library" will only show apps in your Amazon Cloud. You'll notice if for some reason the Fire TV can't connect to the Internet, every menu is empty. It's all loaded with content directly from Amazon. I have an idea for an xposed module to add an extra row to show sideloaded apps in the Apps menu, but it'll be a little tricky.

If it has an app,we need to know what the name is for the onscreen search box so it can be disabled for web browsers and other things it causes major problems for.

HTC is shutting down support for the Sense TV app on the 30th of this month (April). For better or worse, eventually you will have to use Peel or a different third party app.

Been using it for about a year, it's incredible and you can set up some really advanced widgets too, they even have a default one that muted my TV when my phone rings. Not cheap though

Anyway I can keep using the app on the HTC m8? I hate peel, it doesn't work at all.

TV app discontinued in April, You have to use Peel or some other Ir blaster app

Yeah I know that, was hoping against hope that a previous version would let me get past the initial setup to the remote control functionality. Really not a fan of Peel. Maybe they'll bring it back to android as they did on the windows phone? Did some complaining on twitter but I'm no't holding my breath...

NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0?

Has anyone yet figured out how to either find or port the "NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0" x86 APK to an ARM APK? We have waited over a year for a new version, yet its only for x86. It is disturbing that this new YouTube version is not available on the SHIELD TV almost immediately.
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-tvs-youtube-app-gets-a-refreshed-ui-with-latest-update

You've waited a year, you can wait some more. APKmirror is probably the place where it will show up first.

Yeah lets hope so. And no I didn't wait a year. I flashed Full Android on mine so I wouldn't have to wait for newer YouTube versions any more. It was the only reason I went to FULL Android because the Youtube for Android TV was really showing its age and crashing all the time. You pay a premium for a premium device, so you should expect a premium experience in return. Otherwise they are not doing their jobs.

What's interesting is that this youtube 2.0 UI is exactly how youtube looks like on my old and loud Xbox360!!

Yeah some say it looks like the HTML Smart TV version below. I'm not so sure until I actually see it on my SHIELD TV.
https://www.youtube.com/tv

So it can't be ported to arm format?

I have this new format on my Smart TV, and it may well do away with that crappy Red Bar that pops up when you try to pause on something. But that said, the new Layout sucks donky balls. And Google can take their sweet gentels with porting it to the Shield.
Though I have to say (Even given the decentralized nature), of my Smart TV), I'm kinda shocked the OEM has even botherd. Considering the TV was sold in 2015. And, picked up about a year ago on clearance. But it was hard to say no to a 50" 3D 4k LED set. Even if the Smart TV bits of it tended to also suck.

Good question. Maybe it is exclusive to the Nexus Player. Or they are just testing it on the NP before releasing it to 3rd party devices. Who knows? Without an official statement of what's going on we can only speculate. I guess Android TV must not be very big or as important of a platform to warrant updates.

Someone was looking at this threat actually was looking for some tutorial in how to port it, but google has done the work for us, we should thank them

Yeah they were working on it all along but released the x86 version first for some reason. Maybe the arm versions had a must fix first before release bug?

Really I don't like very much this new version, I don't know about you, but the app crashes when you try to type anything on video search.

No crash for me
But option to change quality video is gone:crying:

The user reviews are in the toilet as well. I'm no longer in a hurry to try it. However I can't get last year's YouTube version to not crash either. It's easily the #1 most unstable app I use by far.
Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk

I updated it and hated it and immediately rolled back to the old one. My problem is I got 2 Youtube accounts associated with my Google account. My primary account I created about 10 years ago with all my subscriptions and the G+ one it forced me to create a few years back, which I don't use.
Under the old app, it allowed me to select the account I wanted to use:

Under the new account, it won't allow me to select the account I want, and only shows the G+ account saying my other account isn't available.

I downloaded and installed it and I hated it as well... There's no rolling text on the thumbnails so you have to open each video just to read the full title... no comments as well, no add to watch later no anything good... rolling back to the old version as this one sux.

New app is ugly and slow (everything seems to require more clicks to get there).
Besides the ability to select resolution being removed, many Sony TVs lost the ability to play 4k (they locked it to a max of 1440p).
This version is going to need some work.

Do we really believe Google will be working on it??? :/
Yeah, and not only that, when I updated to the new Youtube app it used my "original" Youtube account before Google bought them out. So hundreds of my subscriptions and all my proper recommendations were missing and I couldn't recognize my own Youtube channel. It was like starting all over again on Youtube from scratch. And worse still, it wouldn't even offer me the ONLY account I ever use, yes the same one I have been using every day since Google bought Youtube, it was completely missing as an account option.
So I was forced to reset back to the original Youtube app and it immediately offered me and connected to the proper account. Is it really this hard for a multi Billion dollar corporation such as Google to code these apps?

I sort of meant someone HERE might take a look under the hood.

Question google assistant: "sure, but first you'll need to unlock your device"

this happens frustratingly often when issuing voice commands to google assistant at home. I have all the smart lock features enabled. anyone got any ideas? i've googled and enabled all the suggested settings related to this.

I agree.... very frustrating, especially when my clock can do it without needing to be unlocked

I'm experiencing this as well but only when I use one routine I have and I don't need to unlock it the routine runs but I get the message. Weird!

All you need to do is go into the Google app itself settings , Google assistant,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

There's allot of nice features hidden in that Google app settings

Enabling every single one of those options still doesn't allow, for example, lights in the Home app to turn on. As described earlier, you can initiate the process without unlocking, but it won't proceed until you actually unlock. Thanks anyway.

yeah I have all those settings activated already. still does it unfortunately.

Me 3!

Only way to fix this is to use Smart lock or buy a nest mini.

The OP mentions trying smart lock and it wasn't any help.
Nest Mini is a good suggestion, but personally, I keep my Mini's microphone switch always off. I want to do everything by phone. Maybe the OP will like the idea better. Google should just fix it, though.

I should mention, I had to add my location twice into Smart Lock to work and now it works perfectly.
I also have to ask, what is the point of the nest mini with the mic off? The speaker is very low quality compared to other speakers in its price range.

Doorbell, cheap (I got one for $15 and the other for $20), and my wife is happy with how it sounds just fine.
I've got a Denon receiver for the high quality needs.
Since it comes with a physical switch for the microphone, I'm sure there are others who feel similarly.

i've tried doing the boxing trick with smart lock location ie 4 separate location points around the corners of my home location. I used to do that with my samsung. i'll see if that helps. stupid bug tho that should just be fixed.

Oh, another reason is they're very small, you can buy mounts that make it so you can just plug it into the wall and the speaker is held right there above (or below) the wall socket, so it's out of the way.

adding further smart lock points made no difference. nifty trick from google. this particular facility doesn't fully work, so you're pushed towards buying a nest or two.

Did you add and remove your location more than once? That's what I had to do and now my smart lock works flawlessly. It turns on right when I walk in my door and off just a few feet outside it.

smart lock in general is working, but I still randomly get asked to unlock my device when issuing voice commands.

I am having this issue as well. Just switched from 4a 5g to a 6, and ever since then I very frequently hear "but first you'll need to unlock your device", even when I never said anything that even sounds like google. Plus it interferes with me using my dedicated assistant devices in my house. I don't want to disable assistant completely on my phone, because I use it while I am out and about, but if it is locked, I don't want it to respond at all. All of the toggles mentioned in the screenshots here are unchecked, yet it still does it.

Same issue here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and it does this all the time. Have anyone tried to suggest a "feature request" to Google Assistant team? Maybe this can be a future enhancement as this is such an important and common use case. I'm thinking that if it really want to be secured, maybe it can trigger something like:
sure, but first you'll need to unlock your phone. What's the passcode?​Then if you are driving and can't type in the passcode, you can then just "say" the passcode, etc.
Thoughts? Thanks!
