just an idea.. haven’t dug through the internet and all the other forums yet.. but with google about to stop sideloading and all the problems with apps.. is there a way to maybe “root” one of these ONN boxes and go straight android without google? just a thought.

While everyone has an opinion and is welcome to express it, here’s mine….I am a longtime user and BIG fan of Onn streaming boxes, and I applaud those doing these types of projects, they are not forcing anything on anybody nor are they asking for payment for their time and effort, so i’d rather have …

Just as with fire sticks, if you’re going to wait until it’s already done, make sure to disable automatic updates. If they push an update that completely blocks everything, including the ability to root your device, then you’re screwed. This is why I still have a few fire sticks on old firmware that…

Good Morning @Jayhawks659 ….do you know a sure fire way to disable updates on the Onn 4K Pro, as i thought i had done that, and my Onn Pro stayed android 12 for quite a long while, while everyone else was getting the update, then bam, one day my box was updated ….Thanks in Advance….P.S. big fan of …

i have a dozen diff boxes with android 7 thru 9 os on them that have never been opened and will never update to newer android os? i think i’m covered as you can’t even purchase these boxes now as they are no longer available to buy….those older android os boxes load 3rd party apps fine and they play…

My guess is he (and a lot of us including me) is that we don’t use Netflix on these uncertified boxes. First off an app like Netflix does not play correctly on a stock box and 2nd and more importantly we get all the Netflix content and more from KODIO, Stremio, IPTV VOD, APK’s etc……
