Hello, All!

This release adds keyboard navigation in all the dialogs and standard search functionality on AndroidTV. I have also fixed a few input-related issues, including screen literally going blue on some devices (such as Chromebooks). As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning MasterGear from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder:

See below for all the changes.

ALL CHANGES:
* Fixed screen going blue on some Androids, such as Chromebook.
