quick_panel_sheet (off by default, config.xml or a theme) shows the existing quick panel as a full-height sheet at the screen's edge, like Android TV's dashboard: the time and the date on top, then its rows as tiles in two columns, with Network showing Connected or Offline. Same rows, same targets, same keys; with the switch off the panel is unchanged.

It reuses the panel's own row (item_input, turned into a column in code) and its glass background, so it adds no layout or drawable: +824 B (588,953 B against 588,129 B on main), under the 589,824 B gate. That moves the rounded size from 574 to 575 KB; the published figure is 572 KB while main already builds at 574 KB, so I left STATS and the README sizes for your next refresh rather than redraw the card for one switch.

It grew out of the ideas discussion #3246. With #3241 (home_hold_panel) a held Home opens it on boxes without a Settings key; both touch the same lines of Config.java, so whichever merges second needs a rebase.

Tested on: Chromecast with Google TV 4K (sabrina), Google TV 14. Its remote has no Settings key, so the panel was opened with am start in a test build that exported QuickSettingsActivity (that change is not in this PR). D-pad between all six tiles (Right, Down, Left, Up) with keys sent over ADB; long titles ("Configuración del televisor") wrap to two lines. Launcher unit tests, lint (0 errors), test_switches and test_helper_table pass.

If this touches the launcher

• Verified on a real TV, screenshot attached
• D-pad checked (Up, Down, Left, Right) between the tiles; the panel is its own screen, so focus cannot leave it
• No network, no background service, no new permission
• New strings in values/strings.xml and the other values-* folders — none added; it reuses Connected and Offline
• Anything TV-specific is in config.xml or a theme, not in code

If this adds a theme key (a switch)

• A screenshot of the key on a real TV and its row in docs/switches.md

Thank you for the dashboard-style sheet: reusing the panel's own row and glass background keeps it under 1 KB, and the screenshot shows it well. The quick panel's look stays as it is in the core (#708, a similar side panel, went the same way), so this fits best in your fork with one row in SHOWCASE.md.

Why it goes to a maintainer: a second model disagrees (hold).
The bot's own suggestion would be: your own fork, with a row in SHOWCASE.md.

Checks

• Note: possibly collides with Launcher: reach a TV's settings when they are a service, not an activity #3198 (both PRs modify Config.java lines 704-705 and QuickSettingsActivity.java line 43)
• Note: possibly collides with examples: Chromecast with Google TV 4K notes: held Home, HDMI-CEC and the Input button #3239 (both PRs modify Config.java with adjacent changes that require a rebase)
• Note: possibly collides with Launcher: home_hold_panel, a held Home opens the quick panel where no dashboard answers it #3241 (both PRs modify launcher/app/src/main/java/com/gathin/tvhome/Config.java around line 704-720, adding different fields and reassigning the Config object)
• Note: possibly collides with Launcher: open Xiaomi picture settings from Quick Settings on Mi TVs #3260 (both PRs modify QuickSettingsActivity.java lines 44-45)
• Launcher: 92 lines changed in launcher/ (tests not counted), new keys: quick_panel_sheet = false
• OK: no new permission, no network use
• Size: size/M (+90 -4, 6 files)

This is a suggestion; a maintainer makes the final call. A maintainer can comment /bot review to run it again.

Closing this one: as the review says, the quick panel's look stays as it is in the core (like #708). The sheet lives on in the fork already listed in SHOWCASE.md (#3147), where it now also scrolls and leaves Picture to the TV settings tile. Thank you for looking at it.
