    Android TV List of alternative launchers for Android TV

    Android TV List of alternative launchers for Android TV


    List of alternative launchers for Android TV

    Posted: 24 May 2021 04:41 PM PDT

    For whatever reason, it's really difficult to discover alternative launchers for Android TV. Sure, you can find a couple of them, but there are so many terrible results that you will end up wasting quite some time.

    Thus, I've compiled this list of alternative Android TV launchers. It's not comprehensive (I'm certain I missed some, please suggest them in comments); I'm not endorsing any particular one; and I have not tried all of them. Some are free, some are paid. Some contain ads. Some contain IAP (in-app purchases). Some require too many intrusive permissions.



    My wishes for a good launcher:

    • Easy to categorize apps into folders or tags.
    • Easy to sort the list of apps inside the same folder/row/block. Maybe even keep it always sorted.
    • Support both native Android TV and sideloaded non-TV apps.
    • Display more than three items per row. (Come on! Large wide screen TV has enough room to fit more!) Bonus points for adjustable size.
    • Easy to open App Info (and Force Close) for any app.
    • Displays the current time. Bonus points for also displaying the date.
    • No ads.
    • No intrusive permissions.
    • Bonus points for open-source, also published on F-Droid.

    So far, I haven't found any launcher that checks all of these points. Heck, most of them don't even get half of these.


    Other tools:


    Please, add other launchers to this list (post in the comments).

    Dear mods, if you think this kind of content is relevant, it could be sticky or could be turned into a wiki page. (But I'm sorry I won't have time to keep it up-to-date.)


    Edit 1: Added mLauncher. I swear I installed it either from Google Play or from F-droid, but now I can't find it anymore.

    I am planning to purchase a Mibox S and I plan to direct all my audio through my wireless earbuds. Do wireless earbuds work well with it or are there any issues like:
    -Static
    -Audio/Video Sync
    -Sound cutting out etc.

    Mi TV Stick - WiFi help

    Posted: 24 May 2021 09:22 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I have Mi TV Stick which connects to WiFi when 5ghz channel is set to 40, but my router by default was channel 100 and it is supported good by other devices.

    In the first setup when I bought the Stick, I chose USA as my region because Macedonia was not listed there. So could the region be a problem for this? Is there anyone who lives in Europe and has the same problem when channel 100 is selected?

    New Philips TV 43PUS8505/12 keeps refreshing

    Posted: 24 May 2021 11:16 AM PDT

    Hi all. Anyone else experiencing this? On the Android TV menu, it'll constantly refresh. By which I mean the screen will go black for a couple of seconds, then the menu will re-appear. Often, when running an Android TV app, for example, Netflix, it'll 'refresh' itself back to the Android TV menu. Even worse, when watching live TV, after approximately 30 seconds, it'll go back to the AndroidTV menu again, making it completely impossible to watch the TV. This usually happens after the TV has been off during the night/day. The only solution I've been able to find is to unplug and then replug the power, then it will work until the TV is off for some hours. Everything should be up-to-date.
