Would I be able to do this with a sucsesfull hack?

[Blix]

Or more generally, what all do I have access to when I've hacked my Samsung TV using your system.

For reasons, I want to change how my tv accepts IR codes sent from my remote. How much control would I have over this? Could I add logic to the way it accepts codes? And could I change/add gui components to the TV where ever I want? What I want to do shouldn't require an App, but should be a setting I can change freely in my TV. From what I've read it sounds like I can flash my own linux-based shell to my TV(I think) If anyone could clarify that would be awesome.

Thanks for reading!

First what TV model are you speaking about?

[Blix]

I haven't bothered to look that up yet. But hypothetically, If I had root access and could flash what ever firmware I wanted to flash, could I modify the properties described above?

[juusso]

RC keys remap - yes. Flashing whatever you want - no. But definitely what you can do with root - brick/damage your tv up to unrepairable state...

RC keys remap - yes.

I'm looking to do a tad more than a remap. But that's good to know. This next question is slightly off-topic at this point, but is it possible to dynamically change the keys using a setting that is available to the user of the TV(ergo, adding a GUI in the settings that modifies the IR key attributes)? If there is an API for such a thing that would be best but if there is not I want to create one.I need to do more research on how the Samsung firmware processes IR input, but if you could point me to some material or happen to know your self that would be awesome as well.

you need to reverse TV main binaries, inject + hook code for almost everything you want to do.

Right, I'm guessing that is how you add your code to the TV. But my real concern is if I'll be able to do what I need to do once I am capable of editing/changing my TVs firmware.
