Our "killer app" thus far, in terms of useful things that actually require root, is PicCap [1] - which enables low-latency framebuffer capture for DIY Ambilight systems.
In the just-for-fun department, you can replace the default screensaver animation with a bouncing DVD logo. [2]
You can see a list of currently available homebrew apps here: https://repo.webosbrew.org/apps/ https://repo.webosbrew.org/apps/
You can also block telemetry, updates, etc. (without relying on something like a pihole).

- alias_neo 5y agoHow does one block telemetry? I rooted my TV with this and set up SSH but I don't see any telemetry blocking configuration. I also want to install my own CA to the TV but the obvious location is read-only.
- Retr0id 5y agoSome telemetry is blocked unconditionally during startup, although it is incomplete [1] (Perhaps I was a bit over-optimistic when I said a pihole was not required). Custom CA certs are possible, which people on older models have been using to work around issues stemming from the X3 cert expiry [2].

- alias_neo 5y agoI used to have everything blocked using PiHole but recently moved to a pfSense router, I guess I just need to block some hosts again. Thanks for the links!
- gerdesj 5y agopfblocker-ng devel. Run the startup wizard to get a pretty safe ruleset running quickly.
- alias_neo 5y agoI'm running pfBlockerNG already but not devel. Is that the key?
- gerdesj 5y agoDevel is a lot better. It has a wizard to get you started that is excellent and loads of other stuff. Disable the dynamic DNS options for DHCP on the DNS resolver to avoid problems with Python modules in the DNS resolver (unbound). Untick the box for leaving config behind and uninstall pfb not devel. Install pfb devel. Go to Firewall -> pfblockerng-devel and you will be presented with a wizard. Take the defaults but do indicate your WANS and LANS when they are asked for. You'll get a great basic PRI1 ruleset setup and DNS blocking too, out of the box. I recommend adding "TOR/Tor Project Bulk Exit List" - block inbound on WAN as soon as you work out how to do it. There is a vast amount of built in rule set links. Give them a go. If you want easy then go for block on inbound and/or outbound on all rules but if you need some flexibility then go for aliases and make your own rules.
- trevcanhuman 5y agoNice, I’d love to install software such as rpiplay [0] to mirror my iOS device, also would be nice to maybe gain some kind of low-latency wireless Linux-compatible screen share server. [0] https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay
- judge2020 5y ago> to mirror my iOS device Note that recent WebOS software (not sure which version) supports airplay 2 mirroring, works pretty well in my experience.
- kosinus 5y agoThis isn't available on my model. I think it's only 2019 and newer? The exploit seems to cover some older models as well.
- trevcanhuman 5y agoNice, I’ve heard of it but my model is older so I can’t install it as far as I know. I’ll try rooting it maybe in a few days.
