can i get a android on my roku express

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

Unfortunately, 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. You’ll need to use a different device like an Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast for Android-based apps. Please give kudos if this helps!
