XBMC as a shell on android
#1
OK, I love xbmc on my windows machine. I found all the setting to get it running as a great shell and there are next to no signs of windows when using my setup. Now I got a Chinese android stick running a rockchip 3066 and I would like to get it running as a XBMC set top like my windows machine. Is this possible? I cant find a way to start an app on start up. any help would be appreciated

Also, as a development suggestion how about an android ROM that is a XBMC build. Like XBMCbuntu for android devices. Slimmed down and built just for running xbmc.

Try Startup Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...tupmanager

Or the developers could build a variant of the apk with a different intent filter in the manifest.xml
Code:
<intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

Startup manager and hide-bar seem to work well. Although I would love to see a ROM built around XBMC. So no launcher, no unneeded apps, ect. Just bootup and see xbmc. with startup manager you see the home screen and the system bar for a few seconds. and if any notification comes up xbmc quits.
