I have an X95H for the domestic mainland market. Same great set and I've managed to sideload most of the necessary appropriate apps (netflix, kodi, plex, aptoide, etc.), however I can't get google services, framework, play store, etc. to function via sideload installs. I'd like to move away from my fire stick or avoid the purchase of shield pro if possible.
When I adb via network and execute a reboot to recovery the tv blacks out and loses adb connection. I had to do a factory reset after one attempt and reload my various APKs. Goal is to install it similar to the method used on phone with lineageOS (flash via TWRP) or sideload minimum required APKs to get functionality (similar to older Fire tablet workaround).
The TV won't allow me to flash an non-mainland firmware build. I've tried hong kong, taiwan, and US builds; the CNA build is about 200mb smaller on average than other market builds (lack of google service core?).
Does anyone have experience accessing recovery on a newer Bravia or general experience on getting Gapps functioning where excluded from a build?
First off, you will need to gain admin access (root privilege). Once you've gotten that one little issue overcome, look on an Amazon FireTV forum, circa 2016 for discussion how to shoehorn GAPPS onto the system.
Don't hold your breath!!!!!
