Device compatibility

Every Android TV platform and box we can give accurate guidance for: which build to install, how to install it, and what breaks on that model.

Android TV

N NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (2019) The most capable Android TV box; full build with all effects enabled. Compatible N NVIDIA Shield TV (2019, tube) Same chip as the Pro with half the RAM; still smooth with a lightweight launcher. Compatible X Xiaomi Mi TV Stick 4K Reference lite-build device for a cheap stick. Compatible X Xiaomi Mi Box S (2nd gen) Common in CN; lite build recommended. Compatible M MECOOL KM2 Plus Certified Android TV box with a full build. Compatible

Google TV

G Google Chromecast with Google TV (HD) Low RAM and aggressive process killing make this the reference lite-build device. Compatible G Google Chromecast with Google TV (4K) Full build is fine; storage, not RAM, is the limiting factor. Compatible S Sony Bravia X90L Full build; panel-side settings remain reachable from the dock. Compatible S Sony Bravia X95L Full build; Mini-LED model with the same software stack as the X90L. Compatible T TCL QM8 QLED Full build; Google TV variant only, the Roku variant cannot install APKs. Compatible H Hisense U8K (Google TV) Full build on the Google TV variant only. Compatible P Philips OLED 808 Full build; European Google TV model. Compatible o onn Google TV 4K (Walmart) Budget US stick; lite build. Compatible

Fire TV

A Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd gen) Works well, but Home replacement needs ADB. Read the caveats before buying it for this purpose. Compatible A Amazon Fire TV Cube (3rd gen) Fastest Fire TV hardware; same Home-replacement caveat as the Sticks. Compatible

Android AOSP box

X Xiaomi TV Master Series (China) AOSP build only; expect to launch it as an app rather than as Home. Compatible S Skyworth Android TV box (China) AOSP build; CN market catalogue applies. Compatible F Formuler Z11 Pro Max AOSP build; widely used for IPTV. Compatible R Raspberry Pi Pi 5 with Android TV image Experimental; lite build and expect rough edges. Compatible
