I didn't think the stock launcher was as bad as everyone was saying, since you could turn off most of the ads and crap. But I'm also a privacy nut (one of my main reasons in buying the thing was so I'd stop using the smart apps on the TV itself), so, I finally yielded to the sub's relentless plugging of Projectivy and gave it a try.

And...yes, it feels much snappier. I kinda resent the stuff that's locked behind the premium version, because the Shield is connected via my backup Gmail account rather than my primary and I won't attach any payment methods to that. But, the free edition is still good enough.

I've already made it my default launcher and disabled the other one.

Now to wait until Projectivy inevitably gets acquired by shady new owners and we do this song and dance again with another launcher.

Currently using projectivy launcher through accessibility settings but really want to use my shield as optimised as i can. Thanks in advance

I had this installed years ago and really liked it. I saw it didnt support 9.2.4 so I updated it along with the helper app. Cheers!

I had an older Samsung tv in the past and had no problem with the shield. It was the 2017 version. I switch to the 2019 pro version. I'm using a Bravia 7 tv with Samsung q990f soundbar. I use to be able to turn on the tv by just pushing the shield remote. Now I have to turn the tv on then turn on the shield. I want to use only one remote. I have all the settings onnpower control turn on on shield settings. Audio via cec. Soundbar is going through earc to earc on tv. Shield pro and ps5 hook to tv HDMI port.

I have an older Nvidia Shield. I think the 2017-Model.

What I'm looking for in a new Player:

*Viewing DV P7 FEL Remuxes + Passthrough DTS-HD-Master/ATMOS (If possible without CoreELec in the DV P7 -> DV P8.1 way with just losing the EL layer). -> Just Via USB 3.0 or so is fine. Don't need Flex

This is for just puting something on quick and switching to something else like Netflix or so fast.

*SmartTube (With HDR and AV1)

*Netflix and GO3

Is the DUNE HD version Homatics Box R 4K Plus a good option?

I think a saw somewhere that it has an edge over the normal Homatics Box R 4K Plus. That it has a DUNE-player that can do some things more then if you would put it on the none DUNE version. Is this correct?

And are there any new options coming? I prefer to go for something newer than the Shield for 2019 because that's starting to get old now and has the Red shift for DV or so.

I live in EU (Belgium) so only stuff that's not import please, ty.

!!! I do have a Ugoos AM6B+ CoreElec for those DV FEL files if need be and would like an extra device as a reserve !!!
