I think it was a netflix button that worked. I eventually was able to get the the settings, navigating to apps, WLM then restored stock launcher. I left WLM and WL installed but I open WL after booting now.
I bought 2 of these but u nfortunately still in the box as I run all Firesticks. Just to lazy and not real tech savvy to read and program them. 
@t33bone - at least youāre honest! I sometimes do the same thing, but do eventually get around to using what I bought. Just dont let em get outdated while still in the box!

Much easier than using Firestick OS.

I also much prefer the ease of using a Firestick and the FireTV OS. But I bought one of the first ONN streaming boxs over a year ago. It was fairly easy to configure and the box functioned ok. But just ok. The quality of the experience imho did not come even close to my Max sticks and after a month or two of learning the AndroidOS I decided FireTV was much better suited to my streaming needs. So I threw it in the garbage and didnāt look back. I will say that learning the AndroidOS on the ONN helped make configuring a Shield Pro much easier as most of the programming needed was similiar to the ONN. I hope the new GoogleTV improved the overall experience. You should give it a go. It could well be that GoogleTV will work better for you, but youāll never know unless you try. If you get stuck we can help. Have fun and STREAM ON!!

There is nothing complicated about setting up the ONN 4K Box. Plug it in, let it update (may take a while), remove some of the preloaded bloatware installed apps, load the apps you want. If you have installed and are using the Stick then the box will be simple for you

thanks for all the responses. still not gotten to them. running on 4 different tvās w the firestick. i guess the motivation is not there unless i get another tv to run it on. LOL
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
So my FS4k kept crashing on YTTV, several times a night. I bought the ONN a couple months ago it hasnāt crashed once. So Yay!! Iāve not experienced the problems others have but there is 1 problem that drives me nuts with it. When Iām thru watching anything on Film+ it doesnāt let me go back to any screen. The only solution Iāve found is to go into settings and do a force stop. Then I can open and watch something else. This is the only app Iāve found that does this. Anyone know why or a better solution?
One other thing about the ONN, I found the WiFi to be especially weak so I followed Troyās video on adding an OTG/Network adapter to be hardwired and it works perfectly. The FS was also hardwired but it did buffer some where the ONN doesnāt. So Iām very pleased with it, except for the Film+ problem

When using YTTV,
- Do the ONN remoteās Channel Up/Down buttons work, allowing you to surf thru the channels without needing to go back to the EPG grid to change Channel??
- Also, since there is no FFwd, Rew, Play/Pause buttons on the ONN remote
do the D-Pad buttons do all those functions or do you have to position on the Timeline
and click the Play/Pause icon on the Timeline, or drag the Timeline location button back and forth??
Thanks for any replies.
- No
- Rewind is the the left part of the circle, FF is on the right. Play/Pause is the center button.
Doesnāt up or down on the ring change channels or selections?

If you are watching a channel no.
I hear you. went out and bought one. Got it like half set up, was like cool. Then went to do some tweaks and change some thumbnails and files around thatās when I found out you canāt get into the media & obb, data files. I tried everything. Through it in the closetā¦

I just signed up for the 3 week Youtube TV free 3 week free trial.
ONN box - The Channel Up / Down rocker button DOES change Ch without returning to the Guide.
Firestick 4K - The Firestick Remote PRO also has the Channel Up / Down rocker button and it DOES work.
EDIT: BTW when using the YTTV app there are now 4 pre-selected Multi-screens which work in the YTTV app.
I donāt think this is rolled out to everyone but this Free trial has it, pbly to lure new subscribers.
Finally got one of the 2 ONNās programmed about a month ago. TPās video made it real easy to follow and program. Now just picked up the ONN Pro today and lets see how long that sits before programming. LOL
Got halfway to Wally World and got the infamous email and text, āYour order has been cancelled as item is out of stockā SMDH
