    What does a moded Nvidia shield give you? Is it rooted or something else. I’m curious because I have been looking at them as a replace for Chromecast android tv

      Maybe modded is the wrong word. They’re rooted with a different launcher and my pihole does it’s best to block telemetry. Getting rid of the Google launcher with ads on it is a major improvement.

        You don’t need root to change the launcher? You can simply install launcher manager and the custom launcher (wolf or whatever), and set it through there.

        I’m usually rooting all my android devices, but the shield is the first one where I didn’t see a need for it.
