TIL you can flash ROMs onto Android TV devices.
Edit: I’ve never looked into making a custom Android TV device either. I have a Shield but it could be cool to make my own with a Pi 5 or something for travel.
I live a different life since I have entirely banished ads from my TV: Shield, Projectivity Launcher, Smart Tube.
How do you change the default launcher?
Just install an alternative one from Play store or APK, and apply the requested change of settings.
There’s no setting for that…
I mean, in the cas of Projectivity at least, when you launch Projectivity the first time it will ask you to change specific settings and it will take you to the corresponding menus. You just need to read the instructions and press OK. Sorry I can’t be more specific at this time, as I am away from my TV.
Only works if you haven’t updated it since the February 2021 update. You also would lose the actual built in Chromecast feature.
Cool but I don’t really see why you would do it on this device when you can just flash android to a raspberry pi or something and have basically the same thing at that point.
I have an orange pi running android 12 hooked up to a TV and the lack of native apps for stuff like hulu [tablets not supported.] and I have the navigation bar stuck on the bottom even in full screen mode. I need to figure out a way to hide that. So it’s not quite so easy. If Lineage can come with the TV configuration working out of the box, then for 50 bucks WITH a remote… its an absolute STEAL.
That’s really cool
