Can I update my old 2011 smart LG TV to WebOS? - WebOS Software and Hacking General

Hello, I have an old LG smart TV. I was wondering if there was any way for me to upgrade it’s software either to WebOs or anything really that doesn’t drive me insane.
Thanks!

DLNA via "Play To" app. Specific to LG hardware?

Does anyone more familiar with DLNA requirements know if this will be exclusive to the LG phones for hardware reasons or will this same app be able to work on phones from, say, HTC? This sounds like it could potentially be a great feature with my Onkyo DLNA AVR. Could be a deciding factor for me in which phone I ultimately decide on.
As i understand it LG developed it together with Microsoft and is only available on LG phones. If it will show up on other phones later i don't know but we can sure hope so. Right now i would buy the LG just because of that feature.

I think so, unless another phone has the DLNA hardware. LG is great! If you have a LG tv, stereo, surround system you can control them all with any LG remote. Im willing to bet that if you have a LG tv you won't have to set up your phone or tv to use the app.
Oh so it is a hardware issue? I thought hopefully, just maybe, it would just be software... damn, I really like the surround. Wish it had dlna
There's no such thing as DLNA hardware.
Awesome, that's what I was hoping. So all that is needed is wi-fi. Theoretically, this should be able to be ported from the LG to any wp7 device, correct? If that's the consensus, it will make my decision much easier.
It may/will be ported when/if WP7 is jailbroken. Apart from that, DLNA isn't something that belongs to LG and can't be done by someone else. When Microsoft provides access to socket APIs there may be third party solutions.
Dlna is using wifi it has nothing to do with any kind of hardware , and it havebeen ported to hd2 with Dhd android port
So I can connect my phone to my tv wireless now?
Damn thanks for the info! I thought I needed one of those players.

Your TV must support DLNA.
I knew DLNA wasn't proprietary to LG (my Onkyo receiver, Samsung blu-ray, and wmp11 all have it), I just don't really know how the internal phone stuff works like drivers and stuff so I wasn't sure if it would ever work even after the imminent jailbreak. HTC Surround, here I come! Thanks for selling me on it guys!
but if you have windows 7 that could be a stand in
Any way to side-load "play to" to a Samsung Focus yet?
I have to check it out at some point. I have LG.
I can sideload Play To to my Focus, but when I start the application, it's always said that I need the update my OS to the latest version (and I''m on 7392 at that time).
I can search for DLNA device, but since I don't have any DLNA device, I don't know if it's worked or not. Can I use my Windows 7 laptop ??

[Q] is it possible to flash android onto non-android/windows device?

specifically, I want to know if it'd be possible to put android on the 'lg rumor touch' (for virgin mobile). i don't know what interface LG is running or if it even has the hardware capable to run it but am curious if it's possible to load android on these mid-range devices that are not really smart phones?

[Android TV]Custom Nougat firmware?

Hi,
i am quite new to Android and rooting with years of experience in the Windows Mobile world, but since I bought an Android TV (Sony Bravia) I got interested. To my big suprise, nowhere on these forums is any central topic for Android TV devices (except for the discontinued Nexus Player). The thing that suprised me the most is that there are absolutely no custom firmwares to be found here.
Is there any particular reason for it? With my limited knowledge, it would not be too difficult for Cyanogen for example, to create a dedicated Android TV release? Since almost alle TV's of the brands selling Android TV's (Sony, Philips, B&O) use the same GPU (Mali T624) and processor (MediaTek MT5890), a lot of tv models would be able to get the update at once. Or am I wrong and this thing is much more complicated?

LG PF1000UW Projector running webOS 03.00.18 - How to Root?

I was trying to find resources on how to root and install homebrew channel on my LG projector but haven't had any luck. Is it possible? The web page that works for the later versions doesn't specify that it would work on mine and I can't afford to brick my projector.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
LG PF1000UW
webOS version 03.00.18
I am primarily looking to do this to install Moonlight gamestreaming natively on it and I assume this would be the only way to do that.
Is this forum still active? Not sure where else to look for such a niche request.
I have a PF50KS and I think you got the wrong information.
Go to "About this projector" and may see another WebOS version.
Mine was 3.7, which then I went to rootmy.tv and it worked fine
