I had a firestick for over a year, had updates blocked. Then nfl came back and I wanted to use prime video app for the first time in forever. Next thing I knew, Amazon took away my launcher and forced an update just by getting prime video reinstalled and putting itself as a system app. In protest, I decided to check this 20 dollar holler. All I have to say is wow! I have magisk , and I have all the short cut buttons reprogrammed. Like YouTube button is changed to open smart tube next as an example. I freaking love this thing. I’m no expert with adb. But I learned a whole lot in the process of getting root and removing bloatware and .sh script for the hard coded remote buttons to be disabled. I also tried the lineage os unofficial rom and just had too many network bugs. Official stock recovery and rom + magisk and it’s patched boot.img were a winning combo. It’s almost like a poor man’s raspberry pi for being so versatile yet so simple.
My daily driver is a shield. I'm violently anti-ad, so it's AndroidTv for me (no fire sticks, etc.) Helped my dad set up several fire sticks for himself.
Bought an Onn a couple months ago for a travel device. Absolutely love it. Very decent remote, snappy enough, does everything I want it to do (custom launcher & Kodi), very familiar b/c ATV.
Great little device
sayat an amazing price. For what I use it for most, it might could be a shield replacement <pause for gasps>. (I mean probably not but gun to my head I could do it.)
