A Google TV update may have broken this top launcher app

It’s worth noting that Projectivy isn’t the only option for launcher replacement on Google TV. There are other third-party launchers available, though many of them don’t offer the same level of integration or ease of use. If the override feature remains broken, affected users may need to either stick with the manual launch method or switch to a different launcher that still supports system-level replacement.

Google hasn’t commented publicly on the reports, and it’s not clear whether this is a deliberate change or an unintended side effect of a recent system update. Until more information is available, the best course of action for those affected is to try the workaround mentioned above or monitor the Projectivy subreddit for updates from other users.

For now, the situation remains fluid. If you’re a Projectivy user and your launcher no longer takes over the home screen, you’re not alone — and there may be a fix on the way. In the meantime, manual launching still works, so the app isn’t entirely unusable, just less convenient than before.
