That was part of the problem. I could not get to google play store.

Keyboard question- can anyone give me a specific brand name or Temu/AliExpress link? I have several Bluetooth 3.0 keyboards (the kind that have the blue letters âfor Androidâ, âfor Winâ, and âfor iOSâ under the Q, W, and E keys) which I have tested on other PCâs, tablets, etc. but simply wonât pair with my ONN 4k Pro. It will always give the MAC ID, but then will either go (after a few seconds) directly to âcannot pairâ or, after entering the 6-digit pairing code that sometimes (not always) appears, then says âconnectingâ but after a few seconds says, again, âcannot pairâ. Thanks for any assistance.
I have paired the following keyboard from Amazon on both the Onn 4k and the 4k Pro. Also paired a couple of cheap, small keyboards purchased from Temu without any issues or problems. GL2U

I got so tired of the advertising and suggestions for what to watch on my Fire cube that I bought the Google Onn 4K.
I have the same problem with it.
Is there some way to get rid of all their screens and just have the APKs that I loaded show on the main screen?
Try installing a custom launcher. I use Projectivity and like it a lot.

Hi All, just bought on. 4K pro, and realise the remote wonât work for me as it doesnât have the red, green, blue, yellow buttons I need for an app I use. Wondering if anyone knows if itâs possible to get a 3rd party remote with those buttons to work with my new device? Cheers!
Where is Projectivity available?
Thanks for the response.
Go into settings and choose âApps modeâ All you will see are your installed apps

Thank you.
I use Projectivy too but if you want a semi fix, go to your account (click on your icon, upper left) and select account management, scroll down to âApps Only modeâ and turn it on.
It does still have a ad but removes the clutter, the only things I didnât like about Apps Only mode is you have have to turn it off to use the app store and if you reboot it doesnât restore any custom ordering of the apps, oh Google assist doesnât work while it is on.
I tried projective on Android TV as it doesnât support Apps Only mode which isnât a bad alternative for not much effort, try it, I used it for a long time on all my Google TV devices.

I have been happy with the Wolf launcher. I have it on some of the Fire devices and all of the Andoid boxes. Both launchers and a lot of other good apps are available in the Troypoint toolbox.

It certainly is. Here is the download link from Troyâs Toolbox.

it seems after android 10? all the boxes were locked down as far as recording with tivimate but sparkle works fine? not as versatile tho
i have a X96Max thatâs on android 8 and it records and plays back 4k video awesome using tivimate? but boxes i bought with android 11 and above basically refuse to let you designate a recording folder using tivimate system pickerâŚso i scoured the net for android 9 os streaming boxesâŚi have several and a 2019 shieldâŚthose older T95zâs are awesomeâŚi have a couple but only one in the bedroom
2TB hard drives on both for recording and the pix is awesome on a Samsung and LG tvâs both 70"
some guyâs get a lil testy when i talk about this? android os 8 9 and 10 play 4k video flawlessly while able to use tivimate system picker to record to an external drive with no problems? seems you canât do that on tivimate after android os 10?
i see guyâs say they have no problem recording to an external drive on the newer os of android? but donât really say how theyâre doing it using a larger external drive? say 1TB?..when i saw what was going on with the restrictions to recording a yr ago?
i have a few of the boxes with the older os systems and have them stashed away in the basementâŚi cannot figure out the advantage of using a newer android os system with tivimate if you want to record programs? clueless about that as everyone seems to have probâs with that setup?
Both my Onn Pro and Nvidia can record on Tivimate and they are both after Android 10. I dont use the option but just tested and both recorded.
Or am i missing what you are saying?
My 2 old (6 or 7 years) T95Z Proâs are retired but they are running Android 7. I donât have a need or desire to record anything anymore but
I used to record on tivimate with them years ago. I donât even have a clue what system picker is? Donât need that on the older Android boxes to record
My Shield Pro is Android 11 and I record to either the internal drive or the Removeable storage that I have added. I schedule recordings and have no issues. I used X-plore to find the necessary files and give the permissions necessary to allow the proper files to be created and opened. There are lots of threads here mentioning how to do this and I thought you had attempted this a few times.
Yeah, it was a pita but I was able to get imy Onn4kPro to work with my 4tb NAS drive by using the SMB option in TiviMateâŚ
The really awesome thing is that now I can watch something I recorded on the living room box and watch it on the bedroom box (and vice-versa). Very much DVR like.
