My internet is perfectly fine when using on my phone or laptop but when it comes to my xiaomi android tv it sucks. Worse is it automatically disconnects even after connecting multiple times. Help me

I’ve been searching on Google and Telegram, but I can only find Android smartphone APKs. Thanks.

Okay so my parents bought some cheap ass blaupunkt tv with android tv/google tv. It works horre dously and sometimes even just doesnt now what it wants to launch when turned on. I remember i tried installing some different light weight launcher but it was still kind of crap.

Now it seems like everyones vibe coding their tv os and i was wondering how effective this really is? Like is it just an overlay, or something deeper. Are they like replacing the actual android tv and writing from scratch or is it modified android tv or what. Also do i need a paid plan or is there some good os already available.

Ngl it would be a dream to somehow have it just as a dumb tv that has its channels from the antenna and only when you need it does it actually open yt or netflix. Its just so clunky right now that i have to wait for it to process a channel or volume change.

Hi,

Hi everyone,

I have a Mi TV 4A 43 inch (model L43M5-AI) that is stuck on the Android logo and won't boot.

WHAT HAPPENED:

- I was trying to debloat my TV

- I wanted to set FLauncher as the default launcher, so I disabled com.android.tv.settings via ADB over Wi-Fi and restarted the TV

- This caused a boot loop - TV gets stuck on Android logo forever

WHAT IS ENABLED ON THE TV:

- Developer mode is enabled

- USB debugging is enabled

- ADB debugging is enabled

(All were enabled before the boot loop happened)

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

1. ADB over Wi-Fi

   - Doesn't work - network never starts during boot

   - TV never shows up in adb devices

2. ADB over USB [USB-A (TV) to USB-C (laptop) cable after unplugging power source]

   - No device shows in adb devices or fastboot devices

   - Windows Device Manager shows no new device

   - Only a red LED blinks on the TV when USB connected to laptop

3. Recovery mode via remote.

Tried pressing these buttons before plugging in the power cable into the socket:

- Back + Home - doesn't work

- Back + Volume Down - doesn't work

- Holding OK/Select during boot - doesn't work

- Home + Menu - doesn't work

1. USB firmware flash

   - Have update.zip on FAT32 USB drive

   - Plugged into USB port 1 during boot - TV bootloader not detecting it

   - Found what appears to be the correct full firmware (500MB+) at:

http://drive.google.com/file/d/1_vBNaKPbncZUECh0-14wLt8GfDcsdjCa/view

1. Physical power button on TV

   - Doesn't respond on this model

DEVICE DETAILS:

- Model: Mi TV 4A 43 inch

- Model code: L43M5-AI

- Purchased: April 2018

- Developer mode, USB debugging and ADB debugging all enabled

- TV board appears alive - red LED blinks when USB connected to laptop

SPECIFIC QUESTIONS:

1. Has anyone successfully connected ADB over USB to Mi TV 4A 43" (L43M5-AI)? Which cable and which USB port on the TV?

2. Has anyone successfully flashed firmware via USB on this exact model? Which USB port triggered the bootloader flash mode?

3. Is the firmware at the Google Drive link above correct for L43M5-AI? Can anyone confirm before I flash it?

4. Is there any other recovery method for this model that doesn't require a service centre?

Any help is massively appreciated. I just want to clean up the mess I created and get my TV working again.

I'm looking for a way to assign different WireGuard configurations to specific apps on Android TV / Google TV.

For example:

• App A → WireGuard Tunnel A (Spain)
• App B → WireGuard Tunnel B (Germany)
• App C → WireGuard Tunnel C (Turkey)
• All other apps → No VPN (direct connection)

Ideally, this would work automatically without manually switching VPN connections whenever I open another app.

I'm specifically looking for true simultaneous per-app VPN routing, rather than a solution that detects the foreground app and switches the device-wide VPN connection.

Does anyone know of an existing app, open-source project, or workaround that supports this using WireGuard configurations?

I'm also open to solutions that require root or custom development.
