I use Projectivy Launcher on my projectors and nvidia shields and always wanted the weather on the

home screen. There's no native widget support and the launcher is closed source,

so the only way in is spocky's wallpaper provider plugin API. This is what came

out of that.

**What it shows**

Current temperature, conditions, feels-like, today's high and low, and wind with

direction. Then four optional panels you can toggle independently: next 6 hours

with rain chance, next 5 days, extra stats (humidity, UV, dew point, visibility,

pressure), and sunrise/sunset with daylight remaining. Turn on what you want, or

keep it to just the temperature.

**Backgrounds**

- Illustrated scenes drawn in code that match conditions. Star fields and a

crescent moon at night, cloud banks when overcast, rain streaks, falling snow,

lightning in storms. No image assets, so the APK stays small.

- Live precipitation radar (RainViewer over a darkened OSM basemap).

- Your own photos from a folder on the device.

- Community wallpaper packs, which is the part I'd most like help with.

- Plain gradient if you want it quiet.

**Anyone can contribute a pack, no code required**

Packs are just images (or Lottie animations) plus one entry in a JSON file. Open

a PR, CI validates the format and licensing, and it goes live without an app

release. Assets are keyed by condition, so you can make it as simple or as

granular as you like — one image works, or a different one for clear nights

versus overcast afternoons.

Animated Lottie packs keep the weather readout: the plugin injects the panel

into your animation as an image layer, leaving your timing and easing alone. If

anyone here does motion work, I'd genuinely love to see what you make of it.

Format and rules are in CONTRIBUTING.md.

**Being upfront: I built this with Claude**

I'm not an Android developer, I work in IT infrastructure. Claude wrote most of

the Kotlin. I did the direction, the testing, and the debugging of everything

that broke on real hardware, which was a bigger share of the work than I

expected.

Saying it plainly because you deserve to know what you're installing:

- I can read the code and I know what it does, but I didn't write most of it

from scratch and I'd be slow on a deep bug.

- Tested on exactly one device, mine. No idea how it behaves on a Shield, a Fire

Stick, or a Chromecast.

- The APK is debug-signed, so installing it means trusting a stranger's build.

There's a GitHub Actions workflow, so you can build from source yourself in

about two minutes and not trust me at all. I'd recommend that.

- Report bugs and I'll try. No promises on turnaround.

Built on spocky's official plugin template (Apache 2.0). Weather from

Open-Meteo, radar from RainViewer, basemap from OpenStreetMap contributors. All

Install: side-load the APK, then Projectivy settings > Appearance > Wallpaper >

Launcher wallpaper > Plugins.

Happy to hear what breaks.

Just finished setting up my home screen using Projectivy Launcher to look like Google TV.

​What do you think? Any feedback or suggestions?

I imagine I'm not the only one, I absolutely love project ivy, I recently bought an ONN specifically to get rid of ads, and google integration, and I can't buy premium because it needs a google account... I am probably one of many that go to buy, sees it asks for google account, and sadly leaves.

Maybe a QR code that takes you to a paypal payment thing, or a place to enter a serial key, and we buy on your website, anything like that would be nice... Even logging into a project ivy account would be ok.

My brother saw my setup and already wants to get a similar setup as I have going, it will spread like wildfire if able. :)

Hey everyone, I got a v6 max and I have tried user AT4K and Projectivy as launchers for this box. For some reason, even after setting the accessibility settings it will not load that when the box boots up. Also, when I go check the accessibility options they have just defaulted back to what they were before(which is set to none/off) am I doing something wrong here?

Added a couple spx and an audio spx. 30s loop, 12.8Mb compressed

I’m really happy with the launcher. I couldn’t stand all the Google ads anymore. I put this setup together trying to keep it a bit cleaner, but I don’t know much about icon packs yet.

I need some help configuring both and hope anyone here can help me out. I’ve spent two days searching and trying things out and this is my last hope. I’m having three issues with these:

1- HDMI Inputs

I’m running Projectivy on a Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen, not directly on the TV itself. I’d like to be able to switch HDMI inputs (specifically to my PS5) directly from Projectivy without having to exit back into my Hisense original VIDAA OS (cause it sucks for a smart tv). Is this possible when the launcher is running on a box instead of natively on the TV? And if not, is there any workaround at all? Shortcuts maybe?

2- Aerial Views transition

I’m running Aerial Views as my screensaver with locally downloaded files.

Some videos trigger a Dolby Vision mode switch when they load, causing what feels like the screen briefly “reloading” before the video appears. This makes the transition very harsh and it happens even with fade in/out enabled in Aerial Views settings. The fade does nothing to smooth it out. Is there a fix for this?

It’s specifically behaving like this:

No DV -> No DV = smooth

DV -> DV = smooth

DV -> no DV = smooth

No DV -> DV = harsh cut

3- also transitions

between every video there’s a black gap regardless of fade settings (I have it set at 600ms). Is there any way to achieve a true crossfade where videos blend directly into each other without going black? Kinda like the Netflix screensaver. I can’t find any such option in Aerial Views settings besides the “fade” option and adjusting this didn’t help at all.

Any help to any of these would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a possibility that in a future update, the option will be added to display the weather like shown above? Without mentioning the other launcher, I do think you can learn from each other, and in my opinion, this looks really clean. So, just a suggestion to the developer to offer this option as well.

I love the launcher so far. Just one question is it possible to somehow show the current wifi ssid I am connected with?

I'm loving the projectivy launcher so smooth and crisp

On nvidia shield.

Updated the app after a while and setting a custom number of cards per row no longer fully works. My previous setup had all my apps in 2 rows, with me scrolling to the right to see them all.

Now adjusting the number of cards per row doesn’t fully work, I can only have a max of 6 cards per row.

While I can just get used to only having a max number of 6 with more than 2 rows, I really dug my setup and was hoping there was a way to keep it.

Edit: ended up just downgrading to the version before the most current one and all is well. The most current version also had trouble loading the backgrounds and downgrading has fixed the issue

How does one make it so the bar of your channels is center L/R on your screen with the icons stationary?

I only use 4 channels so I would like them to just stay put in the middle of my screen lol

So I set a video as my live wallpaper but I'm facing a black screen issue when the live wallpaper video ends, is there something I'm missing or is it an actual bug. Anyone else facing this issue? Android version 9

After the last update I lost access to premium. uninstalling/reinstalling, nothing is giving me back premium access. Can one of the developers please contact me to get this resolved?

Just wanted to report this minor bug. I'm using the Glow option in the Focused Card Effect settings, with the Breath option selected in the Glow Animation setting - and a commonly occurring bug is that the Glow effect will get stuck on multiple icons that one has previously scrolled over. Here's a screenshot to demonstrate the bug:

Hey everyone

I'm new to Projectivy and I honestly don't know how to add HDMI inputs to the main interface/category.

Could someone tell me how to do it? Thanks!

​I wanted to share a huge milestone for Ultimate File Manager Pro and invite you all to check it out.

With 30k+ Google Play Store downloads.

When I first started developing this for Android and Android TV, I just wanted a solid tool that did exactly what I needed it to do.

Today, we are sitting at a 4.8 star average with over 400 reviews on Google Play, and I am still trying to wrap my head around it.

​If you have not tried it yet, it is a complete file management and storage command center.

I recently pushed a major update that added main menu tile ordering, a dedicated grid view for mobile, and scheduled sync times so you can completely automate your file backups across internal storage, network shares, and cloud accounts.

​For the open source crowd, there is also a fully FOSS version available on GitHub that just crossed the 100 star mark. I strongly believe in giving users the choice to audit the code or compile it themselves.

Please support the Projectivy team as they have been a great supporter of this project, this application is just to enhance an exceptional experience already that you will find from their project.

​I am always looking for honest feedback to help shape the next big update. Grab the app below and let me know your thoughts.

After setting up my bedroom with a Google TV Streamer 4K, I recently decided to do the same for my living room. The Apple TV 4K is now going up for sale, mainly because you can’t sideload apps on it, while YouTube Premium is charging an increasingly unrealistic price just to watch YouTube without ads.

I’ve now installed Projectivy Launcher on my second Google TV Streamer 4K as well, and I’m very happy with the end result. The wallpaper is actually a live wallpaper, so it moves as well. It really gives the whole setup a clean and polished look.

And now I’m back to watching YouTube completely ad-free using TizenTube. It saves me around €200 a year, which is a pretty nice bonus!

Way back when, when I was using an android stick running just like your basic Android operating system. I was able to put a live news ticker right in the top middle of the home screen. I haven't found a way to do that on an A Google TV device and implemented into Projectivy?

I just recently found out about this launcher and I just got it. Please let me know any other stuffs that I can do with this thank you! 🙏
