OT - Android TV is getting a new launcher with Android O

[Jdiesel 1114]

I personally use Emby, Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, and Youtube on my Shield TV. I have the recommendations on the homescreen disabled for all of those apps and I find it is of no value to me. I have my apps row sorted to have those 5 apps at the beginning  of the list for easy access. All of the new features in the new layout have zero appeal to me.

Fact. Can not find anyone to disagree that the current version is horrendous. Please return the layout to the previous version.

I quite like it now, it's as little or as much as you want on your home screen.

Aesthetically, I agree with you but the functionality is greatly improved.

The background gradients they use look awful.  I wish they would go back to a plain textured black background over the weird orange-red gradient I see sometimes.
