The problem seems to be that layout / hide / restart will only work if you have selected the default theme pack under settings / theme packs.
But doing that seems to randomly prevent you from choosing other non-factory default options within the settings / theme section.
In my case i opted for the digital clock screensaver i've used for years but changes it back to the default more ad intensive screensaver.
So there may or may not be a sweet spot that will allow me keep both the homescreen and s reensaver i have contentedly used for years.
Or i may continue to be sadistically subjected to forced advertindoctrination from yet another source of the endless corporate greed meme.
Or i may never find that sweet spot because a newly spawned AI superintelligence keeps moving it away each time i reach for it , giggling malevolently as it does so
Or The Newly Spawned AI Superintelligence has melded with that Endless Corporate Greed Meme in act of digital-obscenity that proves that the end of all things grows nigh . . .
Or . . . Roku is real close to exceeding my tolerance for idiotic additions to my already overstressed anxiety levels.
Anyone else had enough of this horse-pucky?
I'm not gonna run right out replace all the roku hardware on all my many devices. But i'll never spend another dime on upgrading any of it.
The only real advantage roku has is the number of apps that work well and update frequently. Any want to be competitors gout there? Go get those apps made, toss in a selection of anime apps and maybe a few less than totally disgusting porn apps and Roku is history.
