  • Not a problem. Google Play is still available, with all apps you have today. If you want to run that, then it works allmost like stock but with more control over everything. Only thing missing is Google Pay and I strugle with RCS messages. I never use SMS so I don’t care about that one and it could be just me.

    Alternatively you can run Google Play Services in a different, sandboxed profile if you’re going for privacy.



  • 1: The official Android app didn’t work?
    That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore. What were your problems?

    2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.

    3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.


  • I can’t speak for all Samsung TVs, but I have the Q9FN65 from a few years ago and it has been offline almost since day one.
    Never had any nagging at all and all the pre-installed crap could be removed.

    My biggest gripe with them is the lack of Dolby Vision. Samsung wants people to use HDR10+ which is their own version, but it’s not widely supported. Otherwise it’s snappy and functions well.
