An unofficial homebrew app store and root tooling for webOS TVs, providing package discovery, installation, and updates from independent repositories. On rooted devices it also offers a privilege escalation service, SSH/Telnet remote access, telemetry disabling, and boot-time user hooks.
Use cases
- install homebrew apps on a rooted webOS TV
- discover and update unofficial webOS packages
- run scripts automatically at TV bootup
- get root shell access to a webOS TV via SSH or telnet
- disable telemetry on a webOS TV
- expose a root execution service to other webOS homebrew apps
- recover a TV that crashes on boot using failsafe mode
When to choose
- you have a rooted LG webOS TV and want a package manager for homebrew apps
- you are developing webOS homebrew apps and need easy root privilege escalation
- you want SSH access or startup hooks on your TV
When to avoid
- your TV is not rooted or the exploit is unsupported
- you are not comfortable modifying TV firmware or losing warranty
- you need an official, vendor-supported app store
