Hi,
Besides Puffin TV where else can I do bookmarks on websites on Google TV?
Thanks for your help and support.

As the title suggests I'm curious to know if anyone has tried to put the android tv launcher onto a chromecast w/ google tv I attempted to do this ( https://www.howtogeek.com/693761/how-to-get-the-google-tv-ui-on-android-tv-devices-right-now/ ) except disabling the GTV launcher hoping it would pick up the ATV launcher but no joy
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83831075&postcount=13 is a thread which purports to make available 1.5GB .IMG file flashable with AMLOGIC burner utility. Quite interesting as Xiaomi has NEVER made publicly available their rom image files.
The zip file was obviously sniffed from a recent OTA update for PIE on MDZ-16-AB
I have absolutely no involvement in making these files public and make no claims as to their viability or functionality.
Explore entirely at your own risk.
Sorry, I don't have access to a working MiBox to experiment with these days. Perhaps one of you brave souls will play and report your efforts.
I managed to remap prime video button by using Tasker app which I sideloaded to my box. The only downside is that you need to disable the app which uses the button(do this first as step 0.)
I will try to make a video tutorial but don't expect great English :)
Steps:
1. Sideload tasker.apk (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) and install it!
2. In the Mi box settings go to
Apps - Special app access - Display over other apps
and enable the Tasker app
3. Open the Tasker app and follow these steps(I can't see the Tasker app in my applications so I use X-plore to start it)
Tasker will probably need special permissions to continue and you will need to use ADB from your PC(google what ADB is and how to use it. Follow these steps:
1.Enable Developer options
Go to settings-Device Preferences-About-Build and press the Build 7 or 8 times to enable
2.Go to Developer options and enable "USB debugging".
3.Also in Developer options go to "Select USB Configuration" and select MTP(Media Transfer Protocol)
4.Download adb zip as shown in this tutorial:
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
5.Start ADB in cmd and run this command
adb connect 192.168.1.xx (change ip to your box IP. You can find your IP in your wifi options) Your box will ask you to accept connection so press OK.
6.Run this two commands:
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_LOGS
adb shell am force-stop net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
you should be at homescreen with a play button hovering, press it to start recording, then press the assistant key once, then stop recording(I used Android box remote app on my phone as a mouse because i couldn't press the button with a remote).
now you see a huge list of logcat events, and look for something that looks like: "WindowsManager: interceptKeyTq keycode=191 interactive=true keyguardActive=false policyFlags=22000001"
then set it to whatever task you want. Press the + button in tasks, add a name, and choose an action. I choosed App action which now opens TvMate app when I press Prime video button
4. Try your new button :) Optionally you could get rid of the Prime video(or Netflix) logo by printing a sticker over it :D
If you need any help just ask!!
