I was getting “suggestions” to install apps for streaming platforms like Disney or hbo which I had to scroll past before I could start the apps I installed myself.
Maybe you’re on a different firmware version from me.
Out of curiosity, which is the launcher you chose?
I froze the stock launcher at the last version without Ads. It works, but I guess some entries like “continue watching” could be bugging out now because it is out of date/never patched.
Yes, I still love my Shield, but there’s no doubt it’s getting long in the tooth, and there aren’t any true replacements on the horizon. The Shield has also lost some features through time, like Nvidia’s local game streaming, though Moonlight and Steam have helped fill that gap.
What a stupid title. As if anybody’s buying smart devices in the hope they’ll be worth more someday.
Where is everyone getting the ads? And why don’t I have them? Not that I want them, but I own two Shields and neither has ads on the homescreen.

Do you live in the EU?
Yes.
That’s why you don’t see any ads

I am a fan of Flauncher
I don’t recall. Not gonna lie, it’s not as slick looking as the stock one, or as regular android launchers can be, but it’s functional.
Edit: It’s called Projectivy Launcher.

I thought it shared the same chip as the switch. Maybe with the switch 2 a replacement will emerge.
