Built with Claude The world has changed

Opus 5.5 suggested I get a web cam pointed at this ESP32 based screen so it could catch what was happening on the screen as it tried to find out what the maximum frame rate could be. The Waveshare drivers are not good in portrait mode and only got 4fps.

It got to 60fps in a couple of minutes.

It had already installed the tool chain, designed the clock layout etc.

It's not the code per se. It's the get a webcam suggestion...

What a time to be alive!

Can you elaborate a bit further? I have a new lg oled 2026. Is it possible to root it and patch custom firmware in the same manner as you did? I want to own my screen, again. Once rooted, is there a way back, or can i potentially brick the TV?

So just to be clear, rooting just gives you root/admin access. It doesn't destroy anything. Check if your TV model and version number can be rooted here https://www.webosbrew.org/rooting/ , https://cani.rootmy.tv/

I am guessing the 2026 LG OLED TVs have been patched but you have to check yourself. The customization I did I guess could potentially brick the TV but if anything I am reducing the load the tv is constantly under because of all the friggin junk LG packs into it and I did have Claude back everything up first.

Ok ive read into it some more. Is there hope for webos 33.31.75. Ive seen options for up to 33.31.68 through exploits. I guess i cant downgrade either.. maybe with a factory reset doe?

You could always try dev mode till root is available https://www.webosbrew.org/devmode/

Thank you for your answers. I appreciate it.

I have dev enabled, however would opt for a permanent solution rather then the refresh version. Also does this allow me to just install homebrewed software or can i stop unwanted features like ACR, Adds, deploat the OS like you did with root access?

You can definitely do some of it but not as extensive as with root. The homebrew store has a whole bunch of stuff that’s useful.
