Comments on Primal TV Launcher for Android

★★★★★ Matt Davis · Feb 17, 2025
I purchased "Primal TV Launcher" because I have an older phone that can output a 16:9 video signal over its USB-C port using "Alt Mode". This feature allows me to use it as a TV box and retro game console; but, "phone" launchers aren't ideal for that use case. A big plus for me is that "Primal" works perfectly using just a game controller. It does everything I need it to do and looks great to boot. I'm looking at buying a Retrod handheld soon, and this launcher will be installed on it too.
★★★★★ Mark Robinson · Apr 9, 2024
Just bought this app and really am I liking it. With custom background and customizable home page, my Nvidia Shield Pro looks completely different and amazing. Just what I was looking for.
★★★★★ Daniel Unangst · Jan 30, 2024
Spotless, snappy launcher for Android TV. Gets rid of much of the bloat of the default home screen. You need a bit of technical know how to disable the default launcher, but it's quick to accomplish. The default version of primal is too minimalistic for my tastes, but it's nicely customizable, and I was able to tweak it to my likings in a few minutes.
★☆☆☆☆ Richard Schneider · Mar 23, 2024
Waste of Five Bucks. User-hostile. Sideload Launcher 3 was much more versatile. I'm returning to that.

** IMPORTANT **
This app uses Accessibility services. Our app offers the use of BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE which can monitor your key presses (KeyEvent) and can open the recent app menu (performGlobalAction) if you enable the service.

Enabling the accessibility service gives us the ability to detect button presses so that you can configure an easier/quicker way to open Primal TV Launcher. Choosing your own button means that you can pick a more suitable/accessible button to launch Primal TV Launcher which may help accommodate you or another persons needs. Primal TV Launcher does not collect, store or share any of your personal information and this option has only been implemented to assist users. In certain cases we may also use the performGlobalAction Accessibility Service to open the recent app menu.

Primal TV Launcher does not watch or collect any user actions or personal information.
