Anyone wanting to "JAILBREAK" this don't spend all your time trying to input ADB code, you can if that's your thing but I would rather get to using this right away, download POJECTIVY LAUNCHER (https://play.google.com/store/app...n_US&pli=1). It does all the programming in the background so you don't have to. It's FREEMIUM Launcher available directly from the play store but well worth the $7-8 bucks to change wallpaper and extra features. It already makes the launcher the default screen when hitting the home button for free using accessibility permissions. If you want to take it to another level also get Button Mapper and change the buttons on the remote to open something else. Don't forget to click BUILD VERSION 5 times... Located in system > about to activate developer settings. Notable addons and mentions are obviously DOWNLOADER, MOONLIGHT REMOTE GAME STREAMING from PC, CX EXPLORER to sideload APKS via network, SMARtTUBE - zero add youtube app (28544 downloader code), STREMIO (with Premiumize. STAY AWAY from Real-debrid, they turned on their clients), Fosmon Mini Bluetooth Keyboard, & the TRENDnet 2.5G USB-C to RJ-45 Ethernet Adapter (Built in ethernet only does 100mb/s.) I have EVERY STREAMER from apple tv to nvidia shield (TUBE & PRO), roku, firesticks, and chromecasts.. This IS the best bang for buck android tv at this price as of 12/2024. New On version pending in 2025 to replace Google TV 4K Streaming Box - ONN 4k pro plus (- this version only has 2gb so still not an alternative for this): https://www.androidtv-guide.com/s...google-tv/
I bought this yesterday. I highly recommend the Launcher "Projectivy Launcher" to replace the default launcher. Removes all the ads and let's you customize your screen as much or as little as you want. Removes all the bloat from Google TV. You can download it from the app store.
10/100 is a reasonable cost-saving measure for a streaming device. 4K streaming only requires about 15-20 Mbps. 100 Mbps is plenty for streaming media over the internet or even over a LAN. The only time you'd get the benefits of gigabit is if you're downloading/transferring large files, which device isn't really designed to do and most people don't do often on their streaming devices.

I found one bug with this Onn unit. I am using Stremio and the sound on streamed torrents, etc. will sometimes cut out completely and not come back on. I searched Reddit and the fix is just to go into the advanced audio settings of the Onn player and select "Never use surround sound". Apply the change and reboot. It seems to be some sort of audio sync issue. But this settings change fixed my issues.
If you select never use surround sound does that mean movies are in stereo sound?
For those that use Kodi and have an audio receiver. Settings, Expert, System, Audio. Enable passthrough then Passthrough Output Device change it to AudioTrack (RAW), Android IEC Packer.
Also enable Dolby Digital Transcoding for audio formats such as AAC to be converted to proper surround sound
I received this today and it's noticeably snappier than the $20 version, and if you enable App Only mode, you don't have to deal with annoying ads. My Fire TV dongles and Cubes are all going into storage. This one is a winner
someon mentioned to install Projectivy Launcher to get rid of ads. are you saying you could enable App Only mode to achieve same?

App Only mode maintains the feature rotator (you can google this term), essentially a background image ad of tv show or movie that shuffles through 4-5 of them, or you can select them as well.
Other than that, nothing else aside from the apps you choose to put on there.
I got this and set it up and I'll be putting away my firestick and other devices. It's performing well and it's faster than my 4k firestick.
Plus, it has a good remote with a finder function.

Projectivy is great. I am officially boycotting all Amazon devices and services they can take their ads and shove them.
I'm returning the Onn. I liked it, but I couldn't get SmartTube to replace searching for 'YouTube <thing>' .. which is just an enough of an inconvenience to go back to the Fire Stick.
