Good concept need some more tweaking, Some time It breaks KODI and switch you to defaults if you have a custom build of kodi then this works perfect.

At boot, it launches to Kodi very fast(faster than all other launchers which take about 40 seconds from android home screen). There is a big problem. The exit button in Kodi which normally takes you back to android home screen now takes you to a black screen. You can shut off the tablet by holding down the power button and then select power off, but once you power on the device it goes straight to Kodi again. This program needs to offer a way to get back to get back to Android screen.

Brilliant. Does exactly what it says it will. Something that may be useful would be to have an option of a hotkey that takes you into Android Settings or perhaps even another configurable app before the system goes into Kodi as I have found that sometimes, especially with SPMC when some files become corrupt the installation (SPMC) does not recover and you are left with a blank screen. Again, this is totally the fault of SPMC not this app. :-D

Does exactly as intended to turn android box onto seamless media player via launching kodi at start up and setting kodi as home screen.

Thanks for the great app. I just have one problem with it, my x86 Android load so quickly that when Kodi start the network is not up yet, and the IP TV PVR crashes. Is it possible to add a delay in the settings, so that the launcher waits for, let's say a second, before starting Kodi?

Doesn't work on Android TV (Nexus Player) w/ Marshmallow. Which unfortunately is out of the developers control. Otherwise it's a 5-star app.

Absolutely love this on the Nexus player, however, I got all excited for Android M and upgraded but xbmc launcher no longer worked, so had to downgrade back to Lollipop. I will be changing this to 5* as soon as it's up and running with Marshmallow. Any time frame for that? Or should it work and I'm just doing something wrong? Thanks again!

Works Great! Maybe too well :( I installed this on my Nvidia Android TV and set Kodi to my default.,, Now I need to exit and get back to Android TV but when I exit Kodi it just automatically re-launches. How can I disable this??? Edit: Changed rating to 5 stars... I figured out my issue after reading the "Whats New"

Just bought a MyGica media player today and its default launcher is an impossible-to-configure eyesore. Since I plan to just run XMBC 95% of the time anyway...this was a nice find. Only thing it's missing is a way to run the occasional other app for that 5% when I do want to (edit: found it).
