Features, settings & updates

Is there anyway of getting an android operating system just like the amazon fire stick or the google Chromecast on the Roku Express because there is not that much apps on the Roku app store and there is way more tv apps on android.

@Hudson47Not likely at all since Roku doesn't include a browser or access to any other OS than their own

Hi @Hudson47,

Thanks for the inquiry, and welcome to the Roku Community!

Please be advised that Roku Express does not support installing the Android operating system. Roku runs its own OS, and unlike Fire Stick or Chromecast, it doesn't allow sideloading apps or changing the OS.

If there's anything else that we can do to assist you, please let us know.

Best regards,
John
