XDA- Owners of the Google Chromecast looking for more exciting things to do with the streaming HDMI dongle might want to set their eyes on this new PwnedCast custom ROM. While it offers just a few advantages over the stock firmware, this could eventually open up the device for more adventurous tinkering and modifications.
Yeah, but most newer Chromecasts have the ota that there is no root for currently :/
If people wanted this to be able to run apps then why did they not just spend $10 more on a dual core android mini PC and have the full android experience on their TV instead of wasting $35 on chrome cast.
