Used to have the Android TV remote on my homescreen to quickly launch it. With Android 12, the app no longer works and you need to launch Google TV first, then click the remote button, OR use a quicksettings tile. Both involve more steps than just launching straight from the homescreen.

I tried adding each activity exposed by the Google TV app as a shortcut to my homescreen using Nova Launcher, but none of them link directly to the remote. Also looked for an app that can add system quicksettings tiles to the homescreen, but couldn't find any that would work without root.

Any ideas on how to get a link to the remote right on the homescreen?

Edit: If anyone comes across this in the future, it appears this is impossible without root at the moment. I used ADB to expose the activity name being called when the new Android TV remote is opened. Then, to confirm that this was the correct activity, I tried to launch it using ADB. But it gives a permissions error when attempting to launch, because I guess the ATV remote is not a publicly accessible activity within the Google TV app. With root you could launch this activity, but without root you are limited to the publicly exposed activities in the app.
