I dont think any smart TV's even allow you to unlock the bootloader, even if you did somehow find a way to unlock it there arent any custom roms for smart tvs. Apparently some smart tvs have unofficial bootloader unlocks through exploits but unless you want to fiddle with a GSI its useless.
samygo is a custom rom for smart tvs.
Afaik they dont do completely custom firmware but just mods
