[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmad shishani:
Hello everyone,

i have a simple question and would be grateful if someone could shed some light on rooting android based televisions (smart TV's)

well i have purchased a 55 smart (so called) 3d TV which is pretty lovely and have some nice specs & features like youtube, skype builtin cam, magic remote, voice control, 3d, etc but i do know that it can be utilised alot more with the magic of XDA developers, for example it doesnt have chrome nor you can access playstore or install apps other than the junk in LG app store,

specs of the TV as below, (sorry for pasting the general specs, but thought it would help to show some of the components in the TV such as processor or NFC, WIFI etc,,,)

it would be perfect just to be able to use chrome instead of the default crappy browser, or ultimately access the playstore and install any compatible app that can be used, having a custom rom all together would be awesome as well
