The new Walmart $19 onn. Google TV 4K Android Box is now available.
This video tutorial will show you how to supercharge your new onn. Android TV Box and unlock features that you didn't know existed.
The new Walmart onn. Google TV Android Box is replacing the Fire TV Stick (Firestick), Fire TV, and Fire TV Cube for many cord cutters. Due to it's low price and ability to customize people are flocking to this new Android Box.
Unfortunately, the Amazon Firestick and Fire TV Cube are becoming closed due to constant modification blocks that the company keeps imposing. We don't see that with Android TV as their operating system is still open.
There are dozens of Android TV hacks that can be administered on this new onn. Google TV Android Box and I cover the most popular ones in this video.
Here's what's covered in this video along with timestamps.

@TROYPOINT .. Great job , as always .. thanks for sharing this , keep up the great work .. 👍🏾😁🙏🏾
Hey what's up I did this to my ONN Box now when I turn It on It comes on say's Google TV then the screen goes Black how can I fix this or factory reset It without seeing? THANKS
I got my USB drive but I don't have a computer. Is there any way I can convert to fat32 without a computer. I do have an Android smart phone. Thanks.
@@BigFredddy68 Troy gave me these directions to do a Factory reset if you can't see the screen or move around...
Hold down on the button on the back of the box and at the same time plug in power. Once the bios screen displays let go of the button immediately. Then click the button until it goes down to factory reset. Then when highlighting that long press the button, release and the box will do a factory reset.
Is the Developer of Mouse Toggle for Android making and update to fix the problem on the ONN Google TV box. It does not work well.
Fantastic Video! I saw this one a few weeks ago and used it today to set up my new Onn box. You covered everything thoroughly and succinctly.
Thank you so much...!
One of your most precise and complete tutorials. Thank you.
I ordered two ONN boxes. I got them today. I hope Amazon is watching. Maybe Amazon will stop messing around with trying to block and cluttering up their interface.
Thanks to Troy for his awesome videos.
ive programmed a dozen ONNs they r fantastic
Thank you so much, Troy. I literally got the rest of my components (OTG cable, flash drive) delivered 10 minutes ago. Gonna be a fun afternoon getting this supercharged!
As an ex firestick owner(still have few) and new to Onn device you'd just help me a lot to get oriented, and as always thanks to your effort to help others!! Also your store apps are awesome, thanks for sharing it. Much regards.🙏
Thank you for this. Got the 4k Pro and this tutorial worked flawless. Can't wait for your next video on the 4k Pro.
I have to comment again - Thank you for the Key Moments in the video - that is going to save me a lot of time!
Thank you for this!!! Everything works perfect now 👏🏼 👏🏼
Sorry, all working now. Thank you for your expert tutorials.
got 2 for the $19! Thanks for the heads up dude
Thank you! Great video tutorial!! 🙏
I have 2 of these and I love them. Definitely value for money😊
👍👍👍
Very, very informative & well done. I just may have to purchase one of these boxes since i do have a fire Cube & Roku & sky-stream boxe..
Troypoint is the GOAT.. its not even close
Very helpful instruction. Thank you.
Fantastic video. A lot of great info. Thanks!
Lots of great information. Thank you.
Troy you're awesome! 🎉
I bought the ONN Google TV box and am supercharging it as a plan B for the Firestick nonsense that seems to be coming. Thanks for your videos, but especially this one!
What’s coming?
@@nickjones3860Side loading will no longer be available as they are working on changing their OS on newer Fire sticks and Cubes. You won't be able to customize the newer devices.
@@nickjones3860major software changes.
Great video and info mate thanks 👍👍
I ordered from Walmart online. I’ll be receiving it today.
What Walmart address did you find it ?
Bro killed it. Now, I wish I could use my retroarch. But this was definitely the best tutorial thus far
Whats stopping you from installing it?
@@TacticalPower88 Google TV Android 12 is. It won't allow it to search for physical roms
You can't sideload your roms?
@TacticalPower88 nope. Not on Google tv. I'm working on a alternative method currently
@@continentalcosplay1243 Koooodi with Internet archive addon no go?
super helpful
your channel will reach 1M very fast if you just keep on posting !!
Thanks👍🏾💯
You're the best Troy every time I get a new firestick or TV box I come to see what you're gonna tell me to do. I've been a loyal fan since before mobdro.... thank you so much for all that you do for us. You've saved me so much money and kept me flooded with content since I first found out about you. I have a serious question for you will we ever be lucky enough to have mobdo again. None of us even realized how spoiled we were when we had mobdro and the original cinema HD.
My Roku went wonky. Just started coming on for no reason. I had it for 8 years. This looks Like a good alternative. Thanks for posting this video.
Yes this is a great alternative to Roku!
Hi Troy, just finishing up this video as I was curious about the ONN device. I have the Chromecast with google TV 4K instead, and was wondering if this tutorial will work with that? It seems like with a few minor differences in hardware specs, they are the same device when it comes to software and overall functionality.
I was having issues after the latest update with sound disconnecting on my Chromecast 4k with GoogleTV. I decided to buy this device to test it and see how it performed in comparison. The picture quality of the Chromecast 4k (with Dolby Vision and not just HDR10) is far superior on my 4K TV. This device is not bad at all for the price.. But I am willing to reboot my Chromecast once or twice a day to reconnect sound than use this with HDR10 only.
I will probably give this to my daughter.
You know this box has a sound issue..it too will lose sound if you let it time out on a pause after 20 mins...found out the damn timer is set to turn off at 20 mins and screen afters black..resume and no sound till you reboot nice eh???
Fix is reset timeout to hr or two...
Screen still go black no lost sound..
So far so good on that front.
Very informative tutorial done in a way that is so easy to follow. Question; can I back up settings and apps and how to do it.
In for another. Hopefully the new remote doesn’t disconnect often like the first one.
Thank you great video 👍
Great tutorial...
Troypoint does it again! Thank you!
Thanks Troy especially with the news about Amazons new upcoming platform 😢
Hi Troy. Sure wish you would show us how to get a weather widget working on the ATV Launcher home screen. I'm at my wits end. TY!
Great video bro. Very good and informative as usual.
Bought one of these boxes and went through this install vid (EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, thanks!) but when I got to the Wolf Launcher, everything got hosed. Was able to hover over apps in the Wolf Launcher app, but couldn't select, completely non-responsive, setup key no longer worked, couldn't back out to previous Home screen, and no way out of the buggy app since it was my new Home screen. Ended up having to do a hard reset on the box and start all over. Considered trying it again but since it took me 30 or 40 minutes to get to that point, just to lose everything, I decided I could live without it. All good now, running great with Tivimate.
Same thing happened with me
Fixed it by resetting my remote
Thanks for watching!
I had a firetv stick 4k gen1 and I got tired of that GOD AWFUL UGLY UI!!! I got a custom launcher installed in like 15 minutes using adb, and removed and disabled all the junk. Although it benchmarks like 50 points lower in gpu and cpu than the 4k firetv stick, its a million times snappier likely due to less bloat and garbage. Also got buttons remapped, and soon I will add a browser and adblocker. This thing rocks!!
When you go to install the mouse toggle, there's a warning that it doesn't work well with the new Onn box. I can install the toggle, mouse mode works. But the scroll mode will not.
Hi when using the ONN box with TV mate when you record do they go to the USB or the ONN box thanks
I have a problem pairing my Bluetooth headphones to this onn device but no issue with my fire stick. Did you experience the same issue?
If the power is unplugged it’s like you lose some stuff. Any reason why? Other than that it’s perfect!
I have one of these and the remote died. Any recommendations for a replacement remote or should I just buy a new one?
How do you go about remapping the a button on the ONN remote?
I had to reset my old ONN 4K AndroidTV box. Do you still have the old video on how to program that one? I know it's a little bit different from this one.
I tried a Rii i8+ mini Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. Many of the buttons don’t work. I also tried an Ipazzport mini Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad, and it was similar. They’re not playing nice. What Bluetooth or 2.4ghz mini keyboards do you recommend with the Onn?
Awesome.... Thanks! Is there a way to hard wire this with an Ethernet cable? I have my Firestick hard wired was hoping to do the same with this.
Great video. Unlike other devices I am not seeing a way to exit Downloader. If you go to the Home Screen isn’t it still active?
Troy (or anyone else) which of theses should I adjust if the pointer is moving to fast?
It takes me like 5 min of up and down, left or right to get on the button I want to click on.
Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale or Animator duration scale (if any of them)?
Thanks Troy but how do you work the mouse from the click from .app
Why is JioPages displayed twice on Wolf Launcher? Mine did it as well
How is the picture quality and WiFi speed? Is this worth it for replacing a slow 4k fire stick?
Great, bought one in Walmart when on holiday from UK...looks good for the price, so far❤❤❤
If you’d had success with an external SSD drive with your ONN streaming box, can you please comment below with the brand of that hard drive as well as the size? Sometimes the brand makes a big difference whether or not it will work at all, and your input will save people a lot of hunting around. Thank you.
Love this video as about to open up my new ONN Google TV box and get it supercharged! Thanks!
One question. Does anyone know how to stop this device from auto-updating the firmware/system?
As the popularity of this device flourishes, it's likely to start getting Amazonesque and foisting reduced ability to customize it, along with shovelling ads to it.
I'd like to future proof this baby once set up and prevent updates from ruining things.
Thanks for any insight.
Incredible video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
Use there an alternative for the mouse toggle?
There is talk that there is going to be a newer version of the Onn 4k streaming box coming out, a (Pro version). I don't know what upgrades or newer features it will have. I hope it will have a usb port for more memory, easier access to download files, more onboard system memory, and quicker connect to wifi. I still like the original Onn tv streaming box though, but if the Pro version is even better i may buy that one also.
The Wolf app does not allow the mouse pointer to select any programs (the mouse pointer app was properly set up -- step by step). I was in a difficult situation where my only viable option was a factory reset. I am using everything but Wolf now and life is good.
How did u do the factory reset?
Agree. Wolf may not be the best tool at this point. There are other launchers
Great content as always brother, My only issue on this box is that the screen is getting cut out on corners for 3rd party apps and you tube without a Calibrate display % option like the Firesticks have. Is there a solution for this? Happened on two of my Tvs
Awesome video as always! You are my Go to for streaming info and instructions. Thank you so much!
Troy, you said "hit and miss". I just bought a 64GB San Disk 3.0 flasher, did the "Large Fat 32" on Rufus and I must be on the "miss" side because under Storage I see "Total Space" 59GB but "Not Connected". So my question if I can get an answer is how to get it connected??? ...🤔🤔🤔
Troy can Xfinity be installed on the onn box?
Thanks
I have a question for you, I own a hisense u6hf 4k tv and recently bought this device. I'm wondering if I should leave always HDR on in the "match content dynamic range" setting? I'm assuming that means that it will always try to upscale thing to 4k even if they aren't available in 4k, wouldn't that make things look bad?
Hey Troy. Great video. I could not locate the link for the initial review. Can you please share it?
Hello, here you go. troypoint.com/onn-google-tv-android-box-review/ Thanks for following TROYPOINT!
Troy as a newbie to ONN and streaming video services, your videos and resources are outstanding! Please keep making more !
UPDATE: Troy everything worked until I launched Wolf…for some reason, it doesn’t allow for any inputs once enabled - this happened on both devices I purchased, and have no idea how to hard reset the box without using the on screen settings - any thoughts?
Same just happened to me 😭
just try to unplug it and plug it in agaun
Wolf may not be the best LAUNCHER. Please read more on other options. After testing it's not WOLF, it's actually the LAUNCH MANAGER that will seriously mess up your ONN device.
Use the mic to do a factory reset
Downloader was removed from the play store. Any other workaround?
Edit: thanks for the workaround video! Worked great!
Cannot find downloader in the PlayStore :(
WITH REGARD TO THE OTG CABLE -- CAN YOU USE ONE WITH AN ETHERNET PORT TO DIRECT CONNET
I just got mine 2 days ago. Found a nasty bug. After pausing content and walking away from the box for minutes at a time the sound dies!!!
I cannot get it back no matter what till I restart the box..😢
Sound is set to a tv for now. I don't know if bluetooth sound be any different or not. Try pausing your boxes and wait 10 or 15 mins and resume the content to see if your sound works. Best fix for now if you must pause go to the home screen. I must add I was watching CZcams tv at the time I paused it. Next time I will force stop youtube tv and see if sound is back on...
How do you get prime video to work on this??? Mine fails to play any prime video content.
I have 3 there awesome
Hi, there was a good video, but I was only allowed to download Wolf Launcher. I tried to download the other apps several times, but I no success can you help and advice thank you
About how much total space do you get after de-bloating ?!
Lol I got gamepass working on it and so far there's slight input lag that can probably be improved by directly plugging in the controller but there's audio glitches :/ still playable
Any updates to the Onn in Nov 2023? Newer version?
Question.. Have you considered making a copy of the original firmware and de-bloating it and then reflash?
Yes this would be great with an option to change the boot screen and get rid of that "walmart" updating firmware branding, you find out how let me know lol
Interestingly, the onn remote will only jump from the left side of troy tool box to the right side of the list. It will not go to center so I can download any apps.
Hi Troy, downloader won't let me hoover over any of your apps in your store. Question how do I turn on mouse pointer from Google tv?
Súper good tutorial!!!
I BROUGHT ONE YESTERDAY SO FAR I LIKE IT BUT NOTICE IT WAS A LITTLE WARM AFTER A COUPLE HOURS OF ME USING IT
You can get a small 5 volt USB computer style fan and power it off an otg dongle. Any fan on it works for cooling. I do it to Shields also.
A "little warm" is normal.
you da man
Nice video bro, btw how to make automatically open fast task killer? Any apk for do that?
Hey Troy, I'm having issues with the USB otg cable - in Developer, under USB Cnfiguration it is set to "charging" - pretty sure it should be on a different option (MTP, PTP, RNDIS, Midi). I'm thinking it should be MTP? Any suggestions? TIA
Disregard - the USB debugging was on! Turn that stinker off, folks! 🙄
is there a way to access the usb drive from your home pc network?
...pardon my ignorance - but can this be used on my computer (desktop and/or laptop)???
The CZcams app won't allow sign in and doesn't work with the shortcut button. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling updates to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks Troy.
@troypoint ok so i followed your video tutorial on how to super charge the4 onn android tv and was using 2 usb drives one of them worked but the toher didnt how do i fix this issue?
can you connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to this?
Hi I just purchased today onn box and I am following the instructions and in the playstore won't find Downloader app to download any help.thanks
Troypoint your delivery and presentation is the best cause it works. My ONN Google TV is working great. I got my main screen on no more google get home its now so I can see it.
I know this is old and I missed it but since USB drives can be large is there a limit to the size one uses?
That would be a great question for the techies in our Insider - troypointinsider.com/
Is there a way to power on my Vizio TV with the ONN remote? I haven't seen this discusses anywhere. I appreciate your help.
Hi Mark, yes when going through initial setup you will be prompted to do that.
Important: we are waiting for an update on Mouse Toggle. It no longer works on Android 12 which this box is running off. Once it is updated, we will add the new version to the Toolbox.
It seems to work fine on my Onn box, the only problem is I programmed it wrong and messed it up.
This is unacceptable! I'd like to speak to your manager!
I tried it anyway and it's working perfectly on my new Onn device
@@NumberKruncher007 yeah I’ve been using it on my new Onn about a month ago without any problems.
Troy I just want to thank you for all that you do. My entire setup is based off your guides. If it weren't for you I would have never bought the newest ONN Box. It's amazing and sold out everywhere around me. Just wish it had Dolby Vision.
HI TROY GREAT JOB ONCE AGAIN QUESTION FOR YOU CAN YOU GO BK AND PUT ANDROID TV OS INSTEAD OF GOOGLE OS ON THIS BOX
Thanks Salvatore, you can't change it to just Android TV. It already has Android TV and you can think of Google TV as the user interface. I would suggest using a 3rd party launcher.
Onn tv box got an update yesterday do you know what it was
Is there a way to download the xfinity streaming app on the onn device
My Wolf Launcher will not allow me to go back to google tv interface? Any help
Im stuck on 27:25 and getting back to the android settings. How are you geting back to the setting?
will this box work with casting from a pc? was trying to cast a blacked out sports game on pc using a site to cast to this device
