Hi there,

I'm looking for something to replace my rpi4+Kodi with an Android TV, to plug behind my videoprojector. I'll only use it as a client for Jellyfin, Plex, Youtube / Peertube and Spotify.

I also discovered that there are some Android TV roms in the wild (Aidan's, atvX, project SLIM) but it seems that they support SoCs instead of boxes themselves. Looks like the S905X is one of the most broadly used in this market, or am I wrong ?

I'd love a rom with very few gapps (just Youtube and Store) and close to pure android. I'm really confident with Android rooting/rom flashing, but I really don't know the ATV world.

So… Could you guys help me with suggestions of boxes and roms ? Also, should I be warned against brands or models that can't be rooted/flashed ?

Thanks a lot !!

Let's hope this post will help other newbies like me.

EDIT: I probably won't need Netflix/Amazon prime certifications, seems that's a criteria.
