anyone tried smart tv custom OS ? - armijo255 - 06-05-2020

Hi Guys,

I'm net to this forum, I want to install custom android in my smart tv. Anyone has done this before ?

Thanks in advance.

Most Android TV has a locked bootloader, not guaranteed but more than likely. On top of that, because of the specifics of different TV models in every level of the hardware, I doubt there's any GSI/Treble work done for the TV platform.

It's hypothetically possible and has been done with Shield TV boxes, but unlikely for most other boxes, and even less likely for AIO smart TVs.

Yes! The bootloader on most Android TVs is locked; this isn't always the case, but it's more than probable. Furthermore, due to the differences in TV models at every level of hardware, I doubt any GSI/Treble work has been done on the TV platform.
