Very Limited Android TV 6 Version - General Questions and Answers

I have a Toshiba smart TV and it is running a very limited version of Android 6. There is no option to login to Google, there is no play store and it is very limited. Is there any way to upgrade it or change it to fully functional Android system?

[Q] kodi on android stick

I was looking at dx for android tv on sticks (link) -
I wonder, does xbmc kodi run on all these android 4.2.2? I'm looking at the pieces with 2gb ram / 8gb space.
Also, can I assume the standard google tv app (on both android and ios) will be able to control the stick?
Thanks!

Replace Android TV with Linux?

I have a "smart" television from Kogan that runs Android TV and to be honest, I've hated it since Day One... Android TV is rubbish in more ways than I care to count, which is why I never use the "Android TV" side of my "smart" television.
So perhaps I can make it more useful...
Is there a way I can replace Android TV with a Linux-based operating system (ideally Ubuntu, but I'm not fussed either way)?
The television I have is a "Kogan KALED55KU8000SZA 55-inch Smart TV", which the Google Play Store (on the Web) refers to as an "MStar Android TV" from "MStar Semiconductor". It runs Android TV 5.1.1.

Possible to have standard android on MiBox S?

Hi,
Is it possible to get normal android on the MiBox S rather than the Android TV OS?
failing that is it possible to get the normal play store?
I had a Minix X7 Mini which had normal android on it and I could do so much more with it. I got the MiBox S because there were no more updates for the X7 mini and I couldn't run a few favourite apps.
MiBox S android TV play store sucks.

Android OS (not Android TV) on an Android Stick

Hello,
I am looking for a cheap Android stick which runs Android 11 or 12 (not Android TV but the normal Android meant for phones/tablets). All the Android sticks on Alibaba seem to run only Android TV OS.
There were such products way back in 2014, have a look at this link https://www.laptopmag.com/android-sticks. However I am unable to find any products now, looked on Alibaba, Amazon etc. I found 1 product on Alibaba but it runs Android 4 Kitkat. I am looking for Android 11/12.
Or is there a way to flash normal Android on Android TV boxes?
