How to replicate the "smart tv experience"? - eviltoast

My nearest way is using my steam controller but isn’t comfy to navigate Netflix or other streaming websites.

      It was hit or miss for me too. I remember is looking good and navigating well, but apps didn’t work. What were pain points for you?

        The apps for sure, Navigation was fine a bit buggy but somewhat usable, but apps were janky at best, the YT thing just felt like a crappy gimmick

        I think a better launcher would help a lot, I’ve seen quite a few promissing ones, and even forked one with the intent on making it a better TV launcher experience when I find the time.

        the main thing missing then would be a full screen compositor and an app switcher, I actually have a couple ideas i’ve been playing with, apps support hurts, but I plan on making a custom waydroid launcher eventually too
