Hi to all! I have a TCL TV with android TV. A very low budget TV and I’m looking to change the launcher, but I’ve read that it’s practically impossible. Any recommendation?
See if you can install Projectivity Launcher from the Play Store. Best launcher I’ve tried so far and doesn’t need root or sideloading or anything.
Seconded. This app completely eliminated everything I didn’t like about AndroidTV
I can install it, but can’t put it as default launcher
There’s some steps here, does this work for you?

No… Didn’t work at all. I think the only way is to disable the stock launcher but I’m afraid to have a big risk with that
Projectivy!
I’ve never tried it on a tcl tv but it was very easy on nvidia shield. You have to install an alternate launcher (super important to do this first) then use the android debugger from your desktop or laptop to disable the built in leanback launcher. After that, the first time you press the home button it will ask you to pick a new default launcher.
You can google for instructions on getting the debugger installed and running, and how to disable the launcher. Note that a lot of people say to uninstall it but I prefer to just disable.
there’s a play store app of adb debugger…maybe i’ll try that
