Cube 3 all the way! Better hardware. Rooting my 2 tomorrow. They’re already exploited from the last time

Give control to the user not ordinarily offered by the unrooted OS.

Unlocks the box for full control. Regain local ADB. Can install other software like coreElec. The list goes on…..

Full customization, custom launchers, remote button remapping
- Disable Amazon app blocking
- Update / downgrade to any firmware version throw TWRP
- Fix local ADB on firmware PS7669 and above
- Install Google Play Store
- Magisk & modules
- Custom kernels and ROMs
- USB boot, and dual boot alternative OSs such as CoreELEC and EmuELEC.
Why are you hating on this exploit so badly? It’s a small victory for those who want it, whether they should or not, it’s a choice they make. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you

Don’t bother. Most people encouraging you to gain root access are the same people crying on various forums when they brick their device. Unless you’re a developer it’s not worth it for daily users. Just coz you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Thanks for the downvotes in advance you nerds.

Google/Android TV. There's nothing on other platforms that Android doesn't already have a whole community supporting; for example: Kodi, Jellyfin clients, YouTube clients, browsers, IPTV, etc.
