Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?
JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI’d imagine you could probably get into the android developer settings and disable all the telemetry stuff through adb and install a custom launcher like projectivity and that’d be the closest you could get to running a custom tv OS at least if you can’t flash it.

That sounds, uh, fun.

Just use the TV as a display and try to dink around with some open source media player box if you want to create your own custom OS.

It’s better than dealing with whatever terrible nonsense they put on LGs and Samsungs. I was really close to getting an LG because everyone says it’s the best looking but I just couldn’t imagine going back to completely unmodifiable TV OS, so I got the Sony instead which still looks absolutely fantastic and I have my custom launcher on it set exactly how I want it.
