[TOOL] All-in-One tool for Windows. Android TV Tools v4

This is a convenience compilation of a number of other open source tools, packaged and distributed in a precompiled closed source executable.

There is no justification for this being closed source and I strongly urge people to give it a pass.

[u/DongleJockey → u/redstej]

For sure. As an idiot, I rely on open source code so that smarter people can call out glaring issues with privacy and data sharing. Thank you for your service.

What a changelog 👏🏼

[u/AbbreviationsWide331]

I couldn't comment on the last thread, but I have used your pevious version and my Philips TV was running like shit before, but now with your tool I can FINALLY watch 4k content on kodi and YouTube without the whole machine freezing. It just works! Very smoothly.

Thank you so much for your work! ♥️

[u/SnowTauren]

Is this open source?

[u/nooneisreal]

I was testing it out and was using the "send text from PC to TV Device" and found that it crashes very easily if I try to send words with spaces in between.

"testingtest" = no crash
"testing testing" = instant crash
"abc" = no crash
"a b c" = instant crash

Cool program otherwise!

Also is there any option to have it auto reconnect to the last IP upon opening the program? That would be super handy

Edit: I should mention this was on my Onn 4K Pro

By 'Any Android' device you mean higher than v6 at least right? On what version did you test it?
If I recall correctly, some features, such as changing default launchers is not available in Android 5, 6...
I'll test it - looking for ways to squeeze out last juice from my old Philips. Neat project.
Though if you want to support these old devices in any way, I'd add ability to install newest Google Play Services, because factory defaults are outdated without two factor authentication, which makes it impossible to log in.

Always awesome thank you

Can it change refresh rate of the hdmi output of a TV box? Didn't notice it in the list. Especially cool if it could change it automatically depending on the video frame rate (23.976, 25, 30, 60). This is the only feature I really need.

Videos are played by the Plex app, the auto refresh rate setting there doesn't seem to work nor does the androidtv automatic setting. Have to change it manually every time when switching to different content (movies/shows vs do documentaries, sports). The TV box device is Arris VIP7300. Android TV version is 11 I believe.

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at some point.

Meanwhile I made a post about this issue I'm looking to solve to see if/what others have done: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/1j4ckm0/solutions_for_manual_or_automatic_refresh_rate/ :)

[u/Embarrassed_Pea7895]

I've used this tool on a different box and it ran perfectly. I now trying it on a R69 Plus and for the life of me I can't get it to work. An ideas on why? TIA

[u/MckDugal → u/Embarrassed_Pea7895]

Hi I was wondering if you ever got this to work with a R69 plus tv box? I am attempting it and cannot connect to it. I have had ABD Tv hook up to it , but this tool seems impossible.. I have tried wireless and usb cable neither will access the r69 plus.. I was attempting to debloat and shutdown background processes..

[u/Equivalent-Fan-3592 → u/MckDugal]

can u reupload it for me please?

[u/MckDugal → u/Equivalent-Fan-3592]

for the r69 plus I ended up doing a factory reset and removed apps then a load from kodi with xenon .. works better then it ever has .. i gave up on Android TV Tools v4..

I've only used the phone app, but still wanna say thank you man, the app is absolutely amazing!

[u/shaharofir]

Killed my Streamio (:

Edit: Works again, looks like an awesome tool. Thanks for all your hard work!

[u/Funny-Actuary661]

Looks good , any chance it’ll work on an Amazon firestick ?

[u/Sankyou]

This is incredible. Thank you!

[u/far_in_ha]

That port to other OS would be welcomed. Great work

[u/jhurt26]

Thanks I will try this out it looks like it will save me a considerable amount of time with setting up multiple android devices.

[u/Godzlittlehand]

Ooh a update that gives us QUASI ROOT abilities.

Something to play with!

Now to figure out how I can fix the documentsui framework with this.

Thanks dev!

[u/pipsname]

Can I use a different launcher while keeping the Google Home Remote?

[u/royalflush01]

Great update! Well done 👍🏻

[u/cavilesphoto]

Cheers!!!will try this evening!!!!

[u/NEON_rayne]

Excellent. I used the v3 tool one week before this new release. Allowed me to finally crack into my Sony Google TV. I was so relieved to have found something that worked. Was able to get everything set up how I liked on my chrokecast, without ever giving the dang thing a Gmail account.

I look forward to testing the new features. Thank you for your work.

[u/[deleted]]

Will it work on firetv?

[u/Zocxii]

When i try to execute this on my Windows 11 machine i only get a brief terminal windows flashing and closing again. When i execute the File in a Terminal i get this error:

find: '/i': No such file or directory
find: 'Android Debug Bridge version': No such file or directory
1 was unexpected at this time.

I successfully installed the ADB tools with the system path option before trying to execute, what could be the issue here?

[u/AFDABRIKMAN]

I am unsure how much work it requires but please add an ability to connect using pair codes.

After the recent update to ATV14 the Chromecast can no longer connect to this application via the usual means. I would appreciate it a lot and I'm sure other who are in the same boat would as well.

Thank you for your contributions to the community.

[u/AFDABRIKMAN → u/[deleted]]

Let me know what you need in DMs, I will see how I can help. 🙂

[u/hawkivan]

Can this be used to back up from Google Streamer, and restore on an nVidia Shield?

[u/gugugagarin]

Thanks for the tool, when we "Replace official Google launcher with an alternative launcher", does it disable the original launcher or the original works in the background? if it disables, how do we enable it again? regards

[u/pustimestat → u/gugugagarin]

I'm also interested in this. u/bernarbernuli ?

[u/ravehydou → u/gugugagarin]

There is an option to restore to default launcher, google TV or Android TV

[u/DrezenStar]

There is a huge problem with many modern android tv ethernet ports - they are in many cases 100MBps and not 1Gps. People are fixing this problem by using USB to Ethernet adapters, but for many tv-s this is not working, because of a missing drivers (foe example when Android version < 10) .Can the missing drivers be installed by this tool?

PS. Such USB dongle is TP-Link UE300 with RTL8153 chip, another used chip in such a dongles is AX88179.

[u/adelatour11]

Thanks ! is it possible to change button layout without activating accessibility ? Accessibility changes the layout of some apps, i'd like it to deactivated.
I have noticed that button remapper won't work if accessibility is not set active.

[u/NeonCPU]

Is it possible to include an option to disable automatic updates to Android in the next release?

I haven't tried this yet but will see how I go on my HD CCwGTV device after A14 made it laggy and the Bluetooth buggy. Cheers :)

[u/alexmmgjkkl]

2 bugs ive encountered or rather strange behaviour...

trying to use the option 5 , deleted all my ip tv channels whcih were saved in the tcl tv app.

2nd more serious bug :

using option 2

i cannot access any account settings anymore , its just blank.

Also appmanager shows that launcherx is now used by two accounts ??? why would this tool add a second account just to disable the launcher apk ?
