The history of lg cube

LG Cube was first found in LG TV in the year 2009 and was used until 2014

In 2014 it only appeared in NON-SMART Tv and netcast 4.5 TV because WebOS deleted the cube and the BLOB was installed instead.

This is the blob:

In later webOS they also replaced blob with some random images.

But you can return the blob - 1. spam mute for 5 seconds 2. then in the menu disable images on no signal

However, there is a problem - They replaced colorful blob with gray... So sadly. But you can root the TV and replace the blob with anything you want

Before the Lg cube

Before the Lg cube was introduced this animation was used:::

Some low end TVs might also just show NO SIGNAL text... If you see this you need to throw it in trash

Bluray player/ Home theater system Menu Cubes

These cubes are displayed on the main menu in 2010 Bluray players / Home theater systems. In this case they represent Ice cubes floating in water. There are actually two versions of this menu. One of them is animated and floating, in high end devices using LG's own OS and Broadcomm cpu. (Like lg hx995tz). The other version is present on devices with MEDIATEK common OS and platform, and is not animated and a little different. This version is shown below:

The mediatek cubes can be extracted easily because the firmware is not encrypted. The good cubes are sadly protected by LG with unkown encryption.
