upgrade upgrade OLD smart tv to WebOS

[Daniel Blackbird]

Hi
I bought recently LA66000 
this is smart tv  but it's not smart
web browser with a lot delay responsible
menus like old LCD tv

in another forum like xda-developers -> devs port other OS to old android phone 

is there  any devs for port web os firmware to LG LA66000 

I am software developer and I like to make apps for WebOS tv 


thanks 
Daniel

I DO NOT ASK THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE ... the intelligent electric circuitry inside uses the drivers configured optimally for itself. Then, over time, they update. For what you want, you need to have the source code then you can develop it. Also, you know the code where it was assembled ... success

isn't there any plan for upgrade old LG tv to the new os(web os) BY LG???
I check my tv for update more than 1 year and no new update on it !!!!
the smart section isn't smart - for exp web browser is very bad (it can't open a website - freeze )

web os or android os is the suitable cases for this problem.
I must use raspberry pie 3 for use web browser on my tv
 

thanks

Hi Daniel,

It is highly unlikely that old LG NetCast televisions will get an upgrade to webOS.  The two main reasons are:

1. Hardware - The NetCast televisons run different chipsets and memory meaning reprogramming webOS to cover these units, which leads on to reason 2

2. There is no money in it for LG.  Quite simply; why would LG spend the money to do the conversion when there is no profit centre in it for them?  They would much prefer you purchase a new set from them.

Best to buy the best TV you can afford be it without smart then add Chromasonic, Firestick or Roku
