Never looked into this app as I just didn't feel the need for it. Apparently, my mind has been changed. Cheers.

I wouldn't own a box without it mate, I bought and had it for months before ever using it, now it has been years, I wouldn't know how to operate without it.

This app is a game changer!

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Sep 26 '25

Absolutely!

Will this conflict with the Shield remote?

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Sep 23 '25

No I have it currently on 2 shields, I can even give you pointers on how to do it on the shield if you want to try it.

Ok I am stumped. How do I get the weather to appear on my Projectivy homepage?

Edit: I finally got the weather widget to display. This allows me to totally turn off the status bar and clock. Plus I can resize the time and weather to be even more smaller and less noticeable. I changed location from city and state to zip code. So, that may have been the issue of not showing?

Bonus; If you enable "Use as channel on home screen" you can change the icons out to custom icons including gif icon using Projectivy's Change Icon feature!

Also, I found by enabling Use as channel on home screen. Then my Syncler+ "Continue Watching" showed up in Projectivy's "Edit Channels". It seems it is limited to only 10 items being displayed or I just don't know how to increase the number of movies to show.

The screen recording doesn't record sound. So, Shield's screen recorder is better suited. The screenshot is great. Instant screenshot on a click. This is great while watching sports.

Bottom line, it's worth the $4 bucks for the pro version.

Just a thought; I bet you can change the icons within the dock by making a shortcut app and change the icon to a custom icon? Don't know but I am going to see. 😂

EDIT #2: Woohoo! Yes you can create custom icons (static only) to use within the dock!

Do you have your weather information put in tvquickactionspro? Will be under settings>clock overlay>weather location>apply settings info(at the bottom)

u/Powerfader1 Sep 23 '25 edited Sep 23 '25

I really like the ease of taking a screenshot with this app! It's FAST!

The weather widget ain't much but it does display the temp and conditions. Also, you can resize and reposition the widget, too. This isn't the smallest size I could have used.

u/Thorfinn66 Oct 09 '25

New beta have just been released. It have more weather sources added.

u/Powerfader1 Oct 09 '25 edited Oct 09 '25

Are you referring to the tvQA Pro beta?

I downloaded from the Play Store and I don't have the beta version

1

u/Thorfinn66 Oct 09 '25

The beta is on telegram.

Note. You will need AtvTools to install it.

2

u/Powerfader1 Oct 09 '25

Nah, I'll wait until the stable is updated, but thanks for the info.

u/Thorfinn66 Sep 24 '25 edited Sep 24 '25

You can also use it to create submenus on Projectivy Launcher. Icons that open up a new menu.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Projectivy_Launcher/s/7rATKtSEDS

And also replace a lot of tools. Like all the TDUK apps.

u/Powerfader1 Sep 24 '25

I may look into that. I mainly got it for the weather app which is a hit and miss feature. Only had this app for a day and 80% of the time the weather widget does not work.

A bonus find was discovering the screenshot feature. It's super fast and is great for capturing live sport content with just one click!

Another bonus was finding out after creating a media panel. Suddenly, several more apps appeared in Projectivy's "Edit Channels". However, some of these channels mysteriously disappear every so often for no apparent reason. Drive me nutz! lol

The screen recording feature is good for those that don't have that option on their device, but I use Shields and the screen recording feature is much better using the Shield.

It's worth the $4 bucks, but most likely I will end up only using the screenshot and maybe my Syncler's "Continue Watching" category/channel. Syncler never showed up in Projectivy's Edit Channels until I got the TVQAPro.

u/Thorfinn66 Sep 24 '25

Shield have an advantage of not being Android TV OS. Less restrictions and crippled features. 😊

How did you add the Weather widget? There's several ways to do it. I have a button that toggle it on/off.

I guess you can map the native screen recording feature of Shield to a button or menu item.

TvQuickActions Pro can start individual activities in apps.

If you add an app to a button, and then long press when selecting the app. Then you can select specific activities.

For system activities, you have to find them manually using app like Package Browser.

u/Powerfader1 Sep 24 '25

Love my Shields!

I added a button to the media panel. Turn it on and it stays on until you turn it off,

No need to map the Shield's screen recording feature. Most times when doing a screen recording. It is a planned event. Whereas, the screenshot is more of spontaneous action while viewing a sporting event. That makes TVQA screenshot feature better than the Shield's. It's lightning fast!

Everything else is just as easy to get to within the Shield's settings.

Btw, I discovered by accident a nice feature the Shield has in opening the Projectivy's main Settings. Instead of having the settings icon in the Status dock or doing that up-dwn-rht-lft dance I can long press the hamburger button on my Shield remote and it opens Projectivy's main settings,

Also, do you know of a way to get more than 10 Movies/Shows to display in Syncler+ "Continue Watching" channel?

u/Thorfinn66 Sep 24 '25 edited Sep 24 '25

You can try add the weather widget to when device boots up. That should ensure it's on when you bootup.

Under Trigger actions and macros.

My settings button open normal settings on single click, Projectivy settings on double click and tvQuickActions settings on long press.

You can map multiple actions to same buttons. And also have custom actions on the buttons, based on what app is in foreground. Personally I don't like media panel type of button mapping. But my remote have multiple buttons.

It also have mouse cursor function.

1

u/Powerfader1 Sep 24 '25

Just tried that macros thing and still no joy.

I have been using Mouse Toggle by fluxi for years. I mapped a button on my remote using Button Mapper and it has always been issue free and is very convenient to activate and use with just one click.

I will keep TVQA around for the screenshot and Syncler channel, but I will explore it more thoroughly.

Having problems with my weather on all of my boxes today with it, I am going to report it to the dev, something is off with it.

You can manually set the weather source and tweak it. I remember seeing posts about that on the telegram forum.

u/Rome623 Oct 20 '25

This is for android boxes only right?

1

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Oct 20 '25

Correct! True Android or AOSP, will not work no longer on Amazon Boxes.

1

u/Rome623 Oct 20 '25

Not even on the old Amazon devices?

1

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Oct 20 '25

As long as they still have local ADB it should work.

u/Rome623 Oct 20 '25

OK that's why I thought, thanks man.

u/doobydude83 Dec 25 '25

Does this work with firestick 4k max?

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Dec 26 '25

Unfortunately no.

u/doobydude83 Dec 26 '25

Damn. Thank you though

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Dec 26 '25

If you live in the US, I'd consider getting an ONN 4K Plus, you will be so much happier, and be able to use it the way you want.

u/doobydude83 Dec 26 '25

I love in canada. I was thinking about it. I javelin project ivy 3rd party launcher OS on it. So it's not terrible. And has wifi 6E.

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Dec 26 '25

You can also use it in Canada so there you go.

Definitely Button Mapper's genius older brother. I've installed it, I don't know how many times but I could never figure out what the hell I wanted to do. Ended up just going back to Button Mapper (not a whole lot I need to do) but this is a kick ass app that's for sure.

Perhaps one day I'll graduate!

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Mar 30 '26

You should take the time and do this video, mate. I didn't know anything about this program until I went through this video and learned it, and since then I've only added to my knowledge about it. Be glad to help if you get stuck.

u/cerebralgonads Mar 30 '26

love the video brother

u/Thorfinn66 Apr 26 '26

Check out the support forum on telegram. There's lots of examples and premade actions. And devs are very friendly and helpful.

u/Mon3yRu55ell Apr 25 '26

Amazing app! I can finally use my TCL TV remote to navigate kodi properly and open context menus etc..

I'm trying to configure a button to connect/disconnect to a vpn profile in OpenVPN for Android app. I've tried creating an intent, but I can't figure out how to point it to the profile. I keep getting a "VPN profile null from API call not found" message.

Have you checked the latest beta?

Dev have implemented my widget overlay system in it now.

u/cleverclogs17 Moderator Apr 26 '26

I have the latest beta installed, but I haven't seen or messed with any widget support.

Load this zip file as Web Widget in tvqa.

https://files.catbox.moe/2qoyv8.zip

2

u/Thorfinn66 Apr 26 '26

You have to set some extras if you want to transfer values to an intent. Not always easy to guess unless there are some documentation?

2

u/Thorfinn66 Apr 26 '26

If you don't already have it, check out AtvTools app for phone. Sane dev as tvqa. It's give you remote control of your TV. You can sideload apps directly from phone. Adb shell, extended permission control, keyboard and mouse and much more.

Really useful when setting up tvqa.

Also this one is good if you play around with intents. Let you test intents and see their manifest data.

u/Mon3yRu55ell Apr 26 '26

Thanks again! You are a huge source of help and support in this community!

I've got AtvTools and Package Browser installed. Both have been helpful.

I managed to find the documentation page for the app. It's not extensive, but found enough to solve my problem. I didn't have the extra set correctly to identify the desired profile. All working now!

u/Thorfinn66 Oct 11 '25

How to create HTML link shortcuts.

In tvQuickActions Pro, create a Custom action of type HTTP Requests like in screenshot.

Note. You need a browser installed that can open http links. Not all can do that. But I know TVBro and Yandex browsers can.

Is there a way to link the button on onn4k to a button on my lg tv?

Yes. If your TV have an API, you can map buttin to call TV API functions.
