If there’s one thing I love having a smart TV with Android TV for, it’s the number of apps in the Google Play Store. It’s especially useful for those who like to mess around (there are plenty of free, super-featured file managers) or customize the user experience on their TV. Well, this is one of the apps that stands out for its functionality: it’s called tvQuickActions Pro and it’s used for button mapping, free memory, screen recording and much more.
An app – toolkit for Android TV
This app is the closest thing I have ever seen a toolbox or a Swiss army knife applied to the TV. Although it is a paid application (it costs 2.29 dollars), the price is not excessively high for all that it allows to do and its ratings with other people are high (4. 6/5).
Thus, one of the tasks it allows to do is map any button on your remotesomething that can be very useful if, for example, you’ve unsubscribed from Netflix and the shortcut button on your remote isn’t in use.
Another handy feature that will surely appeal to those using MacOS is the ability to display a dock on the tv interface with your favorite applications or the ones you opened most recently, a more agile and faster way to navigate so that you do not even have to enter the main menu of Android TV.
Of the available advanced features highlight those of Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to, for example, close applications that consume a lot of memory resources in the background.
Between the tasks that tvQuickActions allows you to do there is the one to record the screen and also the one to take screenshots of what is displayed, the one to program timers so that the TV turns off at a specific time, the possibility of changing sources easily, a night mode that darkens the background. ..
Of course, it is important to take into account that even if on paper it allows to perform all these actions, This will depend on the version of Android and your firmware. that you can make them.
