#HOW TO INSTALL TERRARIUM TV NVIDIA SHIELD APK UPDATE#
Update 2 (July 02)Īn individual has shared a working method to get the ATV Home to version 2.0.10 on Shield Experience 8.2.2 (dev rooted). Sharing your feedback with the developers is the only official way to grab the attention of developers (who are already aware that users are not in favor of the new UI) as has been suggested by support. Once all is done, you can customize your new home screen to your liking and even make it look just like in the image below.
Alternatively, you can also try out this ‘no typing needed’ tutorial. Next, you will have to download a launcher of your choice (examples already given above), connect your Nvidia Shield TV to your PC via adb, and execute a set of commands.įor the complete tutorial, head over to this link. To get started, you will need to enable developer options on your Nvidia Shield TV device, enable adb access on your Nvidia Shield TV device, and setup adb on your computer, as shown below. The installation part is a bit tricky but the end result is totally worth the hassle.īut thanks to a Redditor who managed to give out a detailed yet easy-to-understand tutorial, the 3rd-party launcher installation process is now easier than ever. They are designed to give your Nvidia Shield a minimalistic yet feature-rich home screen that is (of course) free from any kind of annoying ads.
There are several 3rd-party launchers available to download on the Google Play Store including Sideload Channel Launcher 3, HALauncher, and ATV Launcher. In such a case, a better way to get rid of the ads on the Nvidia Shield TV would be by installing a 3rd-party launcher.
However, the method wasn’t flawless as it led to issues with apps like YouTube that have Google account dependencies. We previously did highlight a way to do away with ads by disabling Google Play Services and uninstalling some updates. Thus, frustrated users have been scouring the web for ways to get rid of the ads once and for all. But again, they fill up a huge chunk of the home screen leaving little room for stuff that actually matters. The ads may be quite relevant since they’re exclusive to movies and TV shows that can be watched on Android TV. Of course, ‘recommendations’ is just another buttered-up term for ads, and no one is fond of them, especially when considering the fact that the previous UI never had them. The change is the new “content recommendations” feature that eats up a large part of the home screen estate. New updates to this story are being added at the bottom…Ī few days back, Nvidia began rolling out an updated user interface to its Shield devices that isn’t too different from what other Android TV devices were treated to back in February.īut one change in the new UI, in particular, hasn’t gone down well at all with users due to which the entire OS update has been coming under fire.
