    Install ProjectIvy from the app store on your Shield or Chromecast with Android TV as an alternative launcher.

    Also not buying a Shield anymore in the future. Putting ads in a product you paid for should be fucking illegal at this point.

      Instead of projectivy I use ATV Launcher Pro. It’s pretty good. It allows for widgets, though I find many I want to display don’t work correct, which is unfortunate. I did spend $3 on it, but I don’t mind paying for an app. It just means the developer can make money without displaying ads

      +1 for projectivy. Easy to use, looks good, stays out of the way. I use it on my shield and also use it on my cheap onn pucks.

        Is it difficult to install? Like do I need to side load it or can I install it straight from the UI? I am definitely over Google shoving non-stop ads into my paid for experience.

      Well, that is gonna be easy, I don’t think this product will still continue in the future.
