ShieldTV Best Emulators "Guide"

This is just to save someone searching for this the hours of time it took me to narrow things down. Credit to u/NaturalViolence

Android already has a fairly limited selection of good emulators compared to windows/linux and android tv has an even more limited selection. And many don't work properly with external controllers or external storage which are necessary for a "proper" couch gaming experience on the shield tv.

 

Optimal Emulators:

Free:

- Gameboy/Gameboy Color: Retroarch (mg...

Smart Lock by location fixed again with latest Google Play services update

The last version 21.15.15 broke it, but I see it updated to 21.18.16 today and is working again. So you can stop whatever workaround you use whenever Smart Lock by location breaks, lol.

(Apparently a lot of people find Smart Lock not reliable with location, but it's always worked well for me except when Google literally breaks it. :/ )...

Whitechapel's performance may be similar to Snapdragon 870

LineageOS 18.1 breathed new life into my Nexus 7 2013.

I'm very surprised to see this tablet still being unofficially supported years later. I installed LineageOS 18.1 on it yesterday and It's amazing that it can even run it. For a device that came with Android 4.1 I'd say that's pretty damn impressive.

It's definitely not smooth though. The animations lag when opening apps, the same with multitasking. The SD 600 struggles for sure. Overall I gotta say it's not much slower then Android 7 which is what I was running previously, it's just less smooth...
