Is it possible to install Android TV OS on a samsung galaxy S8+ (broken screen) to give it a mew life?

by trvexepression

I've been given an S8+ from a co-worker cos I helped her to backup her phone's photos and I was wondering if I could install an androidTV/GoogleTV operating system to plug it into my TV, I already have a dongle for hdmi out and a USB remote with keyboard so it's all about the software side of the matter.

I think it could be plausible to do it but I can't find anything about it

You would be better off installing Kodi

Just plug it into a TV using a USB-C to HDMI and use dex.

As far as I know this is impossible. Google doesn't even release the source code of Android TV. You could switch to a more TV-style launcher and use it that way, though you would likely need a mouse. Not sure which remotes might work.

just install open Gapps tv package. if it doesn't work, you will need a custom rom
