Aura 7.0: frosted glass over living photographs, for Android TV 8.0+.

New in 7.0

  • Smart Stack: full-bleed cards that change on their own. They show Continue Watching with the time left, the app you usually open at this hour, your last app and what you watched most today.
  • Now Playing: the Today widget becomes a play/pause control while something plays.
  • Live previews: a switched-on HDMI source shows its picture inside its tile.
  • Weather: shown in the status bar, Control Center and on the screensaver, with sunrise and sunset for your city.
  • Control Center: a Wi-Fi sheet (on/off, disconnect, nearby networks) and Tonight's pick, a top-rated show with its trailer.
  • Sky moments: a small card when the light turns. The photograph changes with it.
  • Settings: glass or original tiles, app names, hidden apps and the weather city, plus a switch for every extra.
  • The grid stops at its last row with a soft bounce.

Install: save Aura.apk as launcher/Aura.apk in a clone of this repo, then follow Install in four steps in the README (tools\backup.ps1, then tools\setup-aura.ps1). restore.ps1 puts everything back.
