[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnysamajhdar:
Hello Friends,

Regards to all reputated members of this forum. I am considerably a noob to this forums so please bear with me and my mistakes or typos. This is my first post on this forum.

I've purchased VU Iconium 4K LED TV last year in Feburary 2016. It has a pathetic VU Smart OS installed. I can't install anything on it from google play store as it allows only opera store to install apps. The stock browser is opera and really getting on to my nerves. Can't even access google play store. :(

Can't find out how much RAM and ROM or what other hardware specs are there in TV as it is not disclosed by the manufacturers. This company never reveals their hardware specs.

Stone age OS installed on the TV.

TV has limited inbuilt Apps and Opera App Store has limited apps too.

Can't install web browsing apps like Mozilla or Chrome.

Can't install MX Player or other apps on TV. Inbuilt Movie player is horrible and of stone age era.

Can't use keyboard and mouse with anything.

No keyboard typing support is there.

Can only use the remote provided with the TV.

No firmware updates from the company so far.

TV quality is marvelous but the OS is a big disappointment.

My question to experts is, how can I install Apk's on my TV?

Any possibility to "ROOT" it? How can I root a LED TV? I haven't found any tutorials online. Neither on YouTube nor on Google Search.

Possibility to install Another OS on my LED TV? May be a full fledged Android OS, if yes, How can I do it?

Is there any expert and dedicated group that Hacks/Roots SMART 4K TV interfaces? If so, can someone please direct me to that forum or website? I've searched the forums and I've only encountered Hacking and rooting TV dongles/boxes but nothing on SMART TVs interfaces.

I hope you guys could help me out. I really detest this OS from VU and would like to be able to utilize the full potential of my 4k TV. Any help on this is really really appreciated.

Complete Review of this TV model can be seen on YouTube channel urtechtoday.

Thank & Regards
