No More Home Screen Ads + Faster Google TV Performance? | Projectivy Launcher

[@LazyPCRehab]

I've been using this for awhile on the ONN 4K Pro box and my Nvidia Sheild TV, makes the whole experience so much better. The paid version is actually pretty cheap also.

[@ShadyfoxUK]

Never heard of this app, will definitely be putting this on my Shield TV. Thanks for the video 👍

[@kylemcdonnell86]

Absolutely wild that I literally installed this yesterday and now you're making a video on it

[@arbbo1675]

When I go into edit channels, KZbin doesn't appear. I watch KZbin more than anything and I would like to have my subscriptions show up on the home page as shown in this video

[@SirRome-tg1df]

Thanks , that was great and awesome video I have seen regarding this great android/ Google tv box 👍

[@littlebigmarc]

Thanks. Definitely what I was looking for. I'm tired of annoying ads

I believe just adding any custom launcher does not eliminate the stock launcher data. That data is still there in the background on your device. Therefore, in actuality, you are ADDING more data to your device's consumption and not less. Imho, to eliminate the stock launcher from your device via rooting or using ADB would be the only way to remove the stock launcher and its data. So, in summary, adding another launcher will not speed up your device. However, in most situations adding another launcher really has no negative impact on your device's speed to a large degree. I will agree using a custom launcher will give a more positive feeling and that feeling transfers into a more positive perception of experience. Meaning if you feel good. Then most likely you will believe all aspects are better, i.e., speed, storage, buffering, etc. When in fact it's just a bias dictating your overall perception and experience.

You're kind of right, but also kind of wrong. The launcher is still installed, but it's not actively running, calling for imagery, calling for trailers, calling for ads, calling for suggested shows, movies and apps, etc. This is like me closing a taxing game that's running on my PC, saying my PC now runs better and you saying "the game is still there though, you're just imagining that it's running better."

[@radioraffa]

But no Live TV option on the Launcher... Unless I'm missing something?

[@shanecraigtech]

I believe you lose that. Not something I personally use.

[@radioraffa]

@shanecraigtech Yes I see. I use it occasionally since it puts multiple apps in one guide like Tubi and Pluto

[@sandrahiltz]

Wow, I never knew you could change the default launcher with accessibility settings now, that's great. I've been using ATV launcher on my Nvidia Shield TV boxes for years as all I want on my home page is an app launch grid, but I had to use ADB to do it, and I couldn't get it to work on my Google TV box as it broke Google services for some reason, I'm going to have to give it a try again now with the accessibility settings.

[@shanecraigtech]

I need to test ATV as well. I've heard good things.

[@sandrahiltz]

@@shanecraigtech It's quite nice if you want a very clean simple home screen, the way I have mine setup it's a 6 X 4 grid and every streaming service fits on the single screen, and the other apps I don't care about seeing all the time just get dumped into a more apps folder in that grid, otherwise the only other things on the screen are my wallpaper and the clock, date, and Bluetooth/internet connection status in the top right.

@@shanecraigtech used ATV Launcher for a while but Projectivy is by far better. Much more feature rich and customisable

[@davemayers9948]

Maybe its called Project Ivy ?

[@brandonstephens7277]

Can you do this on a cheomecast?

[@shanecraigtech]

It has to run Android TV or Google TV.

[@ZainAjam]

@@shanecraigtech The Chromecast with Google TV runs it fine.

[@angelaalejandro]

Type in the word "launcher". Project or project by doesn't seem to work for Chromecast but launcher found it

[@issayair]

My guess is that it's a play on "project TV" and it's probably pronounced the same.

[@mackmccord3743]

Yes. Eye have been running this on the new Google TV streamer with google TV (or whatever it's called) since it was released!

[@totenbartosz]

Amazing! Thank you 🎉

[@ThirdEyeToad]

Nice hair man!

[@TayQuartermain]

Fantastic tip thank you

[@ChrisDeger]

Hell ya google ruined my enjoyment of my shield tv im so damn sick of the ads blasted all over my start page thank you so much

[@GAMIR_SFM]

Is me or your videos has been at lower FPS lately?

[@shanecraigtech]

This specific video was at 24FPS for a boring reason, but typically everything is 30FPS as usual.

[@donniethesportsguy893]

Why I use Apple TV 4K 😂

[@gotenks157]

Apple TV, or anything apple, is a bunch of limited locked down BS. If they would just open up their systems they would be the best.
