About FOBB Pro: TV Remote Remapper
Stop Silencing Your Remote. Start Using It.
You’ve already discovered how FOBB can stop accidental app launches. Now, take it to the next level. FOBB Pro transforms those useless, hard-coded buttons into personalized shortcuts for the apps you actually use.
🚀 Why Upgrade to FOBB Pro?
The free version is a shield; the Pro version is a tool. Instead of just deactivating a button, you can now assign it to launch any installed app on your Android TV.
✨ Exclusive Pro Features:
• Universal Remapping: Assign any button to launch your favorite Media Center, Browser, File Explorer, or Streaming app.
• One-Click Access: Switch between your favorite apps instantly without returning to the home screen.
• Total Control: Turn a "pre-installed" button into a dedicated shortcut for your most-used utility.
• Lifetime Value: No subscriptions. One small purchase grants you full control forever.
💎 The FOBB Pro Standard: We kept everything you loved about the free version:
• Ultra-Lightweight: It won't slow down your TV or Shield.
• No Tracking/Ads: We don't have internet permissions—your data stays on your TV.
• Native TV Design: Optimized for the 10-foot experience. No messy mobile menus.
Most button mappers are bloated and battery-draining. FOBB Pro is designed to be a "set-and-forget" utility. It’s the faster, cleaner, and more private alternative to complex remapping tools.
🔐 Transparency & Security
• No Data Logging: We do not track what you type or what you watch.
• Offline by Design: Since we don't use internet permissions, we cannot send your data anywhere.
Stop fighting your remote and make it work for you.

FOBB uses the AccessibilityService API to detect physical button presses. This is a technical requirement for hardware-level control.
🛠 Troubleshooting: Keep Accessibility Service Active
If the Accessibility Service for FOBB Pro keeps turning off after a TV restart or standby, please follow these steps:
1. Disable Energy Optimization (Basic)
Prevent the system from "sleeping" the app to save power:
• Go to Settings > Apps > Special app access > Energy optimization (or Battery optimization).
• Find FOBB Pro in the list and set it to "Don't optimize."
• Note: Menu names may vary slightly by TV brand (Sony, TCL, Philips, etc.).
2. Force Auto-Start via ADB (Advanced)
For some TV models, the system explicitly ignores auto-start requests. If you are comfortable using ADB (via a PC or tools like atvTools), run these commands to fix the flag:
• Check current status:
• • adb shell appops get net.easyjoin.fobb.pro
• If you see APP_AUTO_START: ignore, run this to allow it:
• • adb shell appops set net.easyjoin.fobb.pro APP_AUTO_START allow

Works perfectly on my NVIDIA Shield. Remapped the useless buttons to open Kodi instead.
