Honestly my onn gadget probably is one of the nicest for the price box to run kodi on.

Hadn't seen the price hike (they're not really advertised where I am) and can't get the ONN here.
But $149!?
The Nvidia Shield is cheaper!

I don't get Google's strategy here, sell less at a higher profit?

Client? Sure. Server? I actually don't know.

Client is what you need. Server runs elsewhere

The barebones $20 version can. This definitely can.

So what do you do with them?

You have to log in at least once as I recall. Or can you exploit them right away?

I think I used ADB to degoogle some of the crap, but I also wonder if there are images to simply replace everything.

Do people have scripts to fix them?

I have one of just sits on the shelf now, I was thinking about trying to fix it again, but it would be nice to have a plan.

For those with Region lock, it goes away if you set it in the country it belongs in first then change it after. But it would be nice to kill that lock without having to go through that step.

overall not that much to have it in basic usage. it has the google play store, and you can just install kodi straight out of it and run it (then follow any guides on using things like umbrella etc... onto kodi), maybe add in something like projectivity to get a no crap startup page.

pretty much any app you use for shady stuff, is pretty out of box available, it's more or less stock android so, jellyfin, plex etc... all have out of box apps, and you can always install a file manager or web browser and get what you want otherwise.

Does this version have unlockable bootloader? I have Onn 4k I think from 2023, and used ADB to debloat, change launcher, but it still has Google play and bunch of Google cap I can't disable/delete

I had nothing but problems with the WiFi on that thing.

I saw custom roms available, so I wonder if you even need to do first log on
