They've critiqued themselves on this. None of us are completely pure. At least they have an active matrix channel

I have two TV boxes, one is a Raspberry pi 4, the other is a pi 5. I installed KonstaKANG's android port for the Pi's. Depending on your familiarity with flashing the Pi's this video from Explaining Computers offers a way to get Konsta installed through PINN. Once they're up and running they act just like a cellphone. This remote works really well.
Install f-droid, and/or obtainium, and/or Aurora Store and you can install whatever apps you want on the box.
I don't personally use Chromecast, so I can't vouch for that working. Mine is more centered around consuming Jellyfin (jellyfin android tv app), youtube (newpipe), podverse, and Radiodroid
I really liked Kodi, but could never get it to correctly sync across devices so I finally went the android route. I've been pretty happy
Feel free to pick my brain if you have more questions
I dont think I so much want this for my phone as for my homemade AndroidTV boxes. Losing the Linux functionality after switching from Kodi/libreelec had been my biggest pain point.
Can't wait to see my TV boxes show up in my Beszel dashboard!
I'm really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150
