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'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.
What does this mean, exactly?
Is there something you can do in the firestick you can't with the Onn?

Disable YT app, turn off YT under services and use button mapper for the YT button on the remote.
Can also do this if you want it as a full replacement: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidT...are_button once Smart Tube is the default you can't watch any free movies like you can with the YT app btw
i'm ok with my firestick and cube performance, but i'm not ok with the increasing
real estate amazon has taken and also having to worry that i accidentally ordered a video
as i powered up the device and it came up with the cursor right on ordering something.
not to mention that amazon now knows and sells my viewing habits.
not that i want google to have that info instead.

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 will also disable things like the Photo Screensaver and the voice features- at least it does on the regular Chromecast. Another launcher lets you keep all that. App Only mode also will still show you recommendations- which if you have little kids in the house they show inappropriate things from time to time and you can't hide it.

I couldn't find the case for the remote on amz. I got the one with back lit.
I've been looking for a case for the "Live TV" back lit version of the remote as well, but haven't been able to find one that isn't just for the old version...

You can't fully disable the YT app on it (without root, and it hasn't been rooted yet). I uninstalled it as much as I could via ADB, but it still wouldn't let me install the STN bridge app thing since it YT wasn't fully uninstalled. Probably similar to https://github.com/yuliskov/Smart...ssues/4147
