Old Cracked One plus 7 pro to Android TV Box attempt

by TKPrime

Hi there. First time poster here. I'd like to use my one plus 7 pro to create an android TV box and I'd like to ask the community about tips.

First of all I'd have a few questions

  1. Is there an android remote alternative that could be paired to a phone out there? I mean like the one you get with most android TV boxes and tvs.
  2. Is the one plus 7 pro capable of outputting in 4K through it's usb-c or only 1080p?
  3. Is this even a viable idea?

I know Android TV boxes are dirt cheap nowadays but I have a cracked but still working and fairly powerful phone and I'd like to see what I could do with it.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Via USB to HDMI cable, you can mirror the phone. But still you need to operate it with mobile screen.

May be you can install a remote controll app like AirMirror in another mobile and use that as remote.
