Description

On Google TV, there was a way to launch a specific app when the device booted. By default the device would display the TV stream, making the OS feel more like an overlay on top of your television than something completely isolated.

Android TV will simply just display the launcher on a reboot, a small distraction for users expecting to see TV and annoying for individuals using Android TV as a dumb kiosk displaying a single video or stream.

This app allows the user to select a specific app to open when the device boots. It's just that simple. Any leanback-enabled app can be opened. Alternatively, the default TV app can be opened, returning you to the channel you just saw.

Want to make your Android TV act more like a dumb TV? Want to launch Sling TV immediately. You should download this small utility app.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★This app makes my life so much better

5 ★Works perfectly!

5 ★simply awesome

3 ★Tried this on a Shield TV. I wish the wake feature could work without a screensaver. Also, when I enable the Launch on Boot option (2nd) it takes away my option to choose which app and only allows for the Live channels app to be launched when the device is booted. Wanted to use it with Playstation Vue.

5 ★I have waited installing this before since it didn't work when waking up as I really never turn my shield TV all the way off. Now that it works on waking up and restarts I am happy to say it is installed and working fantastically period thank you for the great app!

5 ★Works Great. The Developer reposes very fast if there a problem with the app and they fix it super fast.

1 ★Crashes every single time during the "helpful" introduction steps so doesn't even make it to the settings page (Android 7.1)

4 ★Downloaded for Nvidia Shield TV. Works as advertised but will not work when Shield wakes from sleep. Dev is researching a fix. 5 stars when usable.

5 ★I am using this app for android television, its working fine but problem is when i turn off device and start again first it shows television launcher and then it loads. i need it to launch immediately after boot. And one more why the option disabled "launch tv app on boot" on android television.

4 ★Very useful app, can I add a suggestion though would it be possible to launch an app if you wake up your Shield TV from sleep as opposed to booting it, would love to see a feature like it to be incorporated in to this app, a good example is I like to play PSP games on PPSSPP it's the first thing I do when I wake the Shield TV from sleep, I would love PPSSPP to launch whenever I wake up the Shield from "sleep" as I hardly ever boot the Shield, if it's possible that is, other than that, awesome app (all of your app are awesome)

1 ★I launched on boot alright.

5 ★Work Well!
