You can set nova as the default home launcher in novas settings Settings --Select Default Home
Also I have a rather large thread with tons of other questions answers its been going for a while perhaps something there can help , but I use nova on my tablet and phone I know there is a place to choose default home in settings heres link to thread I made its got lots of stuff from lots of people https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/themes-apps/alternate-launcher-root-marshmallow-t3359076

does the shield remote with google voice search/commands work if nova is installed as the default launcher? thanks!

Can't set favorite launcher as default

Hi,
I have a bluboo mini phone with marshmallow 6.0 installed.
It comes with some non-descript launcher called "phenix" installed.
My favorite launcher is line launcher, it doesn't matter what other launcher
I install; I can never set it as the default with constantly getting a popup
message telling me to chose one, and do I want to use the one I choose,
always, or just once? I always choose always, and it never does always.
Going into settings and disabling phenix doesn't do anything either.
Neither does removing any and all permissions for phenix.
PS: I also went into the line launcher settings, and set it as the default app there. Still no good.
It can't be rooted. I also tried debloater, with the universal adb drivers installed. No good!
Help please!
Solved it!
You'll need ADB on your computer. phone with USB debugging on. then open a command prompt and type:
adb root [ENTER]
adb shell [ENTER]
shell will open, then you type:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.cooee.phenix [ENTER]
pm uninstall --user 0 com.sinozo.scweather [ENTER]
after each [ENTER] on the shell, you should get a "success" message.
here on my bluboo mini phenix launcher is gone. scweather is gone. I'm using google now launcher, and phone didn't ask to 'select' the launcher anymore.

How to Sideload Apks onto Android Wear Watch

I have been looking how to do this for a day now with no luck. All the other applications seem to be for early Android wear versions less than 2.0 or Android 5.1.1 or less.
Option 1 (Faster)
1: Install ADB on your computer. https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2: Enable Developer Options on your wear watch. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/guide-how-to-connect-adb-wifi-t3368602
3: Make sure bluetooth is off, wifi on and connected to same network as laptop.
4: Turn on debug over wifi option in developer options and wait for it to show your IP.
5: On windows, make sure platform tools are on the main drive. Ex (C
6: Copy your APK files into the same folder.
7: Inside the folder, press shift and right click. Then press "open with CMD here or powershell"
8:Type .\adb connect 192.168.0.5:5555 (use your own IP, not the ex)
9: Once connected type .\adb install facebook.apk (type in your own APK name, not the ex)
10: Wait for success, and app should be on watch
FYI some computers do not need the .\adb, just type adb
Option 2 (Slower)
* Prerequisites:
1: Computer
2: Cord to connect your phone.
Tested and works with Lineage OS Android Nougat 7.1 and Android wear 2.7 on Verizon Wear24 watch
All the credit goes to the youtuber that created the video, I'm just passing along the information.

https://www.apkmirror.com/
Follow the steps listed in the Start.bat, do not run as Admin.
The APK must be loaded into the main folder, not the app folder.
Currently installed Facebook Lite, tested and works.
Opera Mini opens but force closes after a few seconds.
You may need to open the start.bat twice if it doesnt load the localhost (watch) the first time.
Just a heads up the installation transfers APKS at 51 KB/s, slow! Takes about 2 minutes for a 5mb apk.
Can this be done without the need for an Android Phone? I use an odd couple (iPhone 7 Plus with a Ticwatch E). I have access to Android via a tablet only...

really late, but mine transferred at 555KB/s, (so close to being 6s) but yeah, pretty slow
I came across this error when following the first option. Any advice?
error: more than one device/emulator
adb: error: failed to get feature set: more than one device/emulator

error: more than one device/emulator
Another method
Hey first of all I want to say thanks for your tutorial.
I found another method for sideloading your apps to your Wear OS watch.
It's my preferred method because you need no PC.
There is this apps called Apps2Fire it's made for sideloading apps to an Amazon fire TV, but if you enter the IP address of your watch and enable ADB over Wi-Fi you can sideload all apps installed on your phone or any .apk stored at your phone directly to your watch.
For me, this is the easiest way for sideloading, and it would be cool if you can add it to your tutorial.
Tutorial:
1. Install Apps2Fire on your Phone
2. Open the app and go to Setup,
3. Enter the IP of your watch/ or tap on network and let it search for your watch
4. Tap in the upper right corner on the Upload Symbol and chose your .apk and tap on it and then on install.
5. Enjoy
How can I extract an application installed on the watch?

Looks like you're trying to load an app with the wrong CPU architecture! Try to download a different arch cpu type of that app.

no one has explained it properly on XDA it kind of sucks for newbies tbh
Step1: go to settings - system - about - tap build # 7 times
Step2: go to settings - developer settings - adb debug -adb wifi debug on
step3: download apk on computer
step4: go to the folder with the APK in it "Shift + right click" open powershell
step5: go to the wifi on your watch click on it - get the ip address (should be 192.168.x.xx)
Step6: powershell type: "adb connect 192.168.x.xx:5555" (your watch ip address + the port 5555)
step7: powershell type: "adb -e install appname.apk" (type in the app name where i wrote the app name)
Example:
C:\Users\Bob\Downloads> adb -e install Spotify.apk

Android TV 6.0 Ethernet issue

Hi, I have xiami mi box 3 with android TV v6.0.1 (not rooted)
The default system:
if I go to settings there's only WiFi connection
if plug cable to usb-rj45 the default launcher will show connection at the bottom then if I go to WiFi I can see Ethernet is connected
My issue:
I wanted to change the default launcher without rooting the device, I was able to do that by using
HTML:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
Now my custom made launcher is taking place of the default one. However, I cannot connect to ethernet as it is not shown in the system settings so I cannot connect manually.
I believe, after days of searching, that I need to do this in my code. One way is using commands execution; something like
HTML:
ifconfig eth0 ......
but this seems need a rooted device?
I need help by directing me to the right path to accomplish Android OTG Ethernet Pragmatically Connection.
Thanks

Debloat after Pie, now apps get stuck on "installing"

Debloated after getting the Pie update, and I'm having issues installing apps. Doesn't matter if it's the Play Store, Galaxy Store, or any other method, they just hang on "installing" forever. Problem goes away if I go into the settings>apps>reset app preferences, but this of course re-enables everything and I have to setup a lot of my apps again. I know I basically need to go through my list one by one and figure out what is causing this, but was hoping since I won't have time to do that for a few days, if I posted my list here someone might be able to pinpoint the problem. I had these (and more) disabled while on Oreo, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any help is appreciated!

Got some time this morning and figured it out. Turns out you can't disable Device Security with the Pie update or things get screwy. I've got that disabled on my Note10+ and I believe it was disabled on my Note9, but on the Tab S3 it's a no-no it seems.
So don't disable Device Security (com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity) and you should be fine.
Can you share the steps to disable all these apps? I only have a Chrome OS and Linux computer.
Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure how to do it with those OS's exactly as I don't have a linux machine and haven't tried this on my chromebook. But I do know it's possible, you use terminal I believe. I use command prompt on windows (from within the platform tools folder of the android SDK). Don't even need that installed, I actually just have the platform tools folder on a flash drive I run my bat files from usually.
Contained in my bat files though are my commands to disable apps, enable apps, clear data, change screen resolutions, or whatever I'm doing.
Make sure your device has USB debugging turned on in developer settings. Then the command I use to make sure it's connected after plugged in and the drivers install is "adb devices" without the quotes. Should come back with a number that's unique to your device. If that checks out, you can do all the other stuff.
To disable an app I use these three commands per app, it's two extra steps compared to most people, but it clears out the data for the apps before disabling them.
adb shell pm enable --user 0 "app package name here"
adb shell pm clear "apk package name here"
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 "package name here"
No quotes of course. And just repeat those lines for each app you want to disable. Grab the package names using the app Apk Analyzer by Martin Styk.
Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask and I can always boot up linux from a USB or try it out on ChromeOS.
One more thing I'll add is that you may want to leave gallery3d enabled if you use certain s-pen gestures like smart select.

You need to have adb and fastboot installed on your Linux machine. Most distributions should have this packages within their repositories. So you can use your packetmanager.
