Hi all,
I’ve been messing around with some old firesticks and really want root to remove all this bs
What do you think about buying some cheap android box and flashing lineage?
Any things I should look out for? My only hard requirement is custom ROMs
Thanks in advance
thanks for the fast response
What is the reasoning behind this suggestion? im ok with that but its not really the same thing to normal people (theyre using built in smarttv ad hellscape atm)
Are you suggesting that because price or because what I’m asking about doesn’t exist the way I’m imagining?
You can still install android on them, BlissOs is a rom for x86 devices. Intel and amd gpu hw acceleration works ootb: https://docs.blissos.org/knowledgebase/frequently-asked-questions/hardware-compatibility/ If you just need for media consumption they are good, some apps don’t work as they only support arm cpus.
The reason is choice and support. On an arm android device you have to wait for the manufacturer for updates or to publish source, so someone can support the device for you. With x86 it’s just a normal, standard pc, you can do whatever you want.
alright i see. i acyually just set up waydroid so i see what you mean
tbanks for the info
