New

  • Recent apps, like tvOS: press Home twice and the app you're in fills a big card showing its last screen, with older apps stacked behind it. ▲ closes an app, Close all clears them and shows the memory you got back, and ● Playing now marks what's playing.
  • A screensaver worth looking at: Museum hangs masterpieces from the Art Institute of Chicago, Live wind draws the real wind around you right now, Tonight's sky shows the real stars, Moon and planets over your city, and a photo mosaic. Auto moves between them through the day.
  • No computer needed: Settings → Set up on this TV connects to the TV itself and switches everything on that used to need a PC.
  • The Home button in apps: Home twice opens recent apps over the app you're in; hold Home for Control Center.
  • Remote buttons: give a spare button on your remote an app.
  • A welcome on first open, and Make Aura your home asks Android for you.
  • Screensaver controls in Settings → Wallpaper: when it starts and when the TV turns itself off.

Fixed

  • Aura didn't appear in the TV's app list after installing, so it couldn't be opened. It does now.
  • A switched-on HDMI device (like a soundbar) could fill the screen with black. Live previews of inputs are now off by default, and any input tile can be hidden (hold OK).
  • Home now closes Settings and other open panels.
  • Recent apps lag, and the screensaver repeating the same photographs.

Install: in the free Downloader app on your TV, type github.com/cookedzera/aura-tv/releases/latest/download/Aura.apk. Update: Settings → Updates in Aura.
