Looking for what I can do with my android TV (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've got a Sony android TV and it... Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content's (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don't want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I'm looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

Any recommendations?

I’ve now installed Flauncher and ADB and it works really well.

The only problem I encountered was that the colors now seemed way too warm on my TV.

I guess I may have unintentionally uninstalled or disabled something I shouldn’t have..

Edit: Finally had to go back to factory settings as I now couldn’t select the sources..so it’s back to normal Google experience..

In the settings menu for flauncher there's a button for Android options. If you open that you should be able to adjust the picture settings, it at least find the Bravia settings that can control the picture.

Thanks, I had managed to correct the problem, but I just wanted people to be warned that weird things could happen 👍

Especially if you disable or uninstall something you’re not sure about 😅
