Hello guys, I purchased XIAOMI 4a smart TV, inbuilt patchwall UI is no doubt good for general purpose, but when you want to play games and do many things like doing on smartphone, it is not upto the mark for me. I want Remix os as an option for this TV.
There is Bluetooth drivers folder in root directory but you can't use Bluetooth in it. (Intentionally not provided)
-----------No support for game controller to emulate touch control as in Remix os.---------------
You can't create wifi hotspot.
And many more.....
Also if someone can give me ideas to emulate touch via Xbox controller, it would be great help.
Edit:
I tried to install Google play store TV , Google account manager, play services, and service framework. Everything installed but after opening play store it gets force closed each time.
What is the display size?
43"
Lets open a common thread for all the MiTV owner to share ideas and know-how regardless of tv model and versions available as well as regions. Hoping a development and mod could be bring together.
Install this app and share me the screenshot.
have anyone is success change to other OS for Xiaomi TV 4A?

Have a look at this. It will give you some insight of how wierd it us to do so.
Hey guys, this is to inform you all regarding this model is added in "certified Android Devices" list, so in near future you will get Android support officially.
And if some development as in progress than you might get chance to have different rom support on it.
Hey friends,
This model is about to get android pie update officially.
Bro I didn't got it yet your post is 2 years old please help me
Which TV model is yours ？
I am having a hard time finding APKs for Tenplay and Zattoo for my Sony Android TV. The Tenplay apk I found readily available, claims that the device isn't supported and the Zattoo apk I found, is displaying sideways (guessing it is the mobile apk).
I am guessing that you can only get the Android TV APKs if you are located in Germany/Switzerland and Australia.
Could anybody from these two countries point me towards working APKs? Thank you!
Hello guys! We just bought this Philips TV and was not aware it is using this Saphi OS instead of the Android OS we usually find on Android TVs. I have some questions about this TV.
1.) Any users of the OS that have find several key apps that works well with the TV? (e.g. Netflix, Youtube and other useful apps)
2.) Do you know if this OS was just recently implemented and hopefully get better even if it is intended for entry level TVs? The firmware on my TV was made on June 2019 even if it is just built on Android 6.0.
There's no option on exchanging the TV and since most users are not tech savvy, I'm focused more on using it to its full potential.
Same Prob
Same here. We just bought the same tv yesterday and we were told it was an android tv. Netflix was installed manually from a usb flashdrive and youtube. Youtube was working but Im having an error in the Netflix.
I hope there's a fix on this. The TV is great, but we need netflix.

Sir, this is the specs of the TV
Android Version: 6.0
Software Version: V1.0.5
Model 40PFT5883/71
UI: Philips One UX
Saphi OS to Android TV would be amazing. I'd rather pay for development of such cfw/rom then buying extra device like Chromecast/TV box. Saphi OS is very non user friendly, video player is powerful but with very limited options with subtitles (no load option), apps are limited and few.
40fpt5883 complete Android solution available

Hi everyone,
in several days I will be the proud owner of a Philips 50" PUS 7394 Android TV and since I have a custom firmware smartphone with all its benefits I wondered if I can do some things to my TV as well.
Is there a manual to this TV or similar ones but same procedures? Can I watch Youtube without any ads with magisk or similar ways like on smartphone?
How can I install all apps, not just the ones from the google playstore?
Thanks for any info on how to hack my TV (maybe there are even more options that I didn't even dream of?).
Chris
Hi every1 , i have a question is it possibile to change firmware from saphi to Android on Philips TV. If no please let me know how to get Google Play Store on that piece of sh.. tv.
Hi,
you can't - both is not possible. You can buy an HDMI stick with Android TV - cheapest way.
