ATV Launcher

ATV Launcher is a handy launcher for Android TV set-top boxes. Its main purpose is to adapt the interface for display on other devices and control with a standard remote control. At the same time, the utility works correctly on smartphones and tablets. After activating the utility, the desktop elements change their layout for convenient display on screens with landscape (horizontal) orientation. The list of installed applications is displayed as a carousel at the bottom of the screen (this mode is used in most modern TVs). It is possible to pin frequently used widgets.

Remote control

The Android platform has always been focused on touchscreen control. All interface elements have been optimized for gestures and taps for many years. When porting the system to TVs, many users have difficulties with interacting with the interface elements, because they have to use a remote control to operate the system. The main feature of ATV Launcher is the adaptation of control and menu navigation to work with a remote control. All basic actions are available through a limited set of buttons (four-position joystick, back and OK buttons). Another useful option is the ability to customize the main screen. You can change the arrangement of tiles, add widgets, and set live wallpapers on the desktop.
