6 0 ReplyFLauncher. It's even on the Google play store.
Then you have to side load an app that changes the default launcher. But that is also very easy.

What android TV would you recommend? Even with an alt launcher, can you still control OS/apps well with just a remote controller as input?
1 0 ReplyI've had a good experience with my Sony. Very easy to change things and sideload stuff.
2 0 ReplySony is the easiest to change all the settings. Samsung is the worst.
I have no idea what a reddit controller is.
2 0 ReplyI think he meant to type "remote" instead of "reddit".
4 0 ReplyAhhh. Then yes. Remote works the same. Change the default launcher to FLauncher and it automatically maps it to the home button.

I like my Philips, it's got the cool ambilight and runs android TV. I think they lag slightly behind LG in performance but these don't have either of those things.
