[PATCH] Android TV Leanback on Q10 Pro

[pcristi]

Try
BBC iPlayer for Android TV from apkmirror maybe work I didn't test it.

Android TV App Launcher Builder

The "Search Box" defaults to "Voice Input".  --> This is Google force on Android TV.
Are also other things missing because not TV setting inside of box.

OK so I'll have to put up with Voice Input and ignore it.

One of the apps I have on the box is BBC iPlayer. Its icon appears in My Apps and in Sideload Launcher but it does not appear on the app ribbon on the new Android TV interface.

I notice that in the new Google Play Store (7.2.13.J-xhdpi [8] [PR] 139098199) BBC iPlayer is not available in the search: "no results found"! Is that why it's not on the ribbon? Is it compatible? It works!

Reluctantly I've decided to revert back to default and use Smart Launcher Pro. Those ghastly background wallpapers and voice input on the "Android TV" interface were annoying me too much  !

Will this get further updates? I am on the latest version now (0.1.1) but curious to know if I should revert back to the official firmware or stick to your leanback patch?

Thanks a lot !

Looks nice. Did not try it yet, but may do so?

Does is work on Egreat A5/A10 too? Would be surprised if it does not.

Courtesy of pcristi and Looun, there is now an experimental method to install Android TV leanback on Himedia,Q10 Pro, Zidoo X9S (and probably equivalents).
See this thread: http://www.android-mediaplayer.de/index.php/Thread/4120-Experimental-Android-TV%E2%80%8B-Experience-for-himedia-Q10-pro/
THIS IS VERY EXPERIMENTAL SO PLEASE DON'T INSTALL IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE INSTALL / UNINSTALL PROCESS!

@Looun @pcristi
Do you mind if an identical link to the above is made available on the Zidoo and Egreat forums?

@loon @Pcristi

Is this getting any updates? I was using 0.1.1 but have now reverted to the custom FW 2.0.4
