Until now Premium only worked if your device had the Google Play Store. That left out Fire TV, Ugoos and every sideloaded Android TV. A lot of you asked, so there is now a second way to buy, built straight into Monet Launcher.

How it works:

1. Download the APK from GitHub: https://github.com/Klevico/Monet-Launcher
2. Install and open Monet, go to Settings and then Premium.
3. Scan the QR code on screen.
4. Pay 4.99 USD one time, no subscription, tax shown at checkout.
5. Your TV unlocks itself a few seconds later. Nothing to type on the remote.

One purchase covers 5 televisions. For the next one, open the same screen, pick "I already have a key" and enter the license key from your purchase.

Once a TV is activated it never contacts the server again. Premium keeps working offline, so a dead server or a dead me does not take your purchase with it.

Giveaway: I have 20 free licenses for sideloaders.

How to enter:

• Comment anything below
• One entry per account

Winners:

• 20 winners picked at random on Wednesday, August 5
• I'll reach out via Reddit chat with your code, so make sure DMs are open

Over 1,100 members already. Thank you for all the posts and bug reports! I'm going through them one by one and fixing what's left. Update should be out in a couple of days.

Patchnotes:

- NEW Setup code: share your whole setup as a short offline code
- NEW Font setting
- NEW Custom media rows per app, just like Continue Watching and Recommendations
- Raised the custom row limit from 8 to 64
- BACK on the home screen now jumps back to the start
- New AM/PM toggle for the 12-hour status bar clock
- Backup now also saves all status bar options
- Custom app images now follow the transparent icon style
