[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
just wanted to let people know that there is this app called Showbox that you can install on your smartstick or any android device really that will let you stream and watch a fairly extensive library of current movies and tv shows.

by the way, I don;t know how this could be legal but enjoy it while it is available. the interface is strangely reminiscent of the Torrentbutler torrent site. there are even in app ads.

I have tried it on a range of platforms and even have it working on my Logitech Revue. it works great on the smartstick.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
Have used MX Player, Netflix & Youtube without any issues.

Only issues I was having was with xbmc, 1 out of 10 vids had issues playing (twitchy), if I went thru es explorer & used mx player, they all played perfect.

Also was getting a "Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter when the TV is Switched Off" error in bottom right that would not go away. Seemed to happen after TV is turned off or when it went to suspend. (smartstick is plugged into tv's usb for power)

Rom is running great! Thanks Perseus71! :good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
TV USB Powers are known to be flaky. Power off of wall please.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
I probably will once I move the outlet up behind the TV. Like having no wires visible.

Fixed my Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter issue by switching suspend to never in settings.

My Vizio's USB powers the smartstick even when TV is off, so it's always ready to go!

It's funny I use to have a $500 system next to tv for years to watch movies & listen to music, now i have a $24 stick doing it! Gotta love technology!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Sidenote to what you said. The Wireless connection is slow to pick up speed when you go from Standby to in use. In my Next version, I will be making some low level changes to avoid that.

JASS version 2.0 Release - OP Updated!

Op has been updated. We have JASS Version 2.0
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mhoward223:
Downloaded and running it now. Works good. trying to find a good amlogic compatible XBMC, but so far netflix, vudu, hbogo running good at 720p.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
Installed new version. Thanks OP!

Runs smooth only 2 issues for me:

1. Limitless remote won't keep its autorun setting after reboot

2. Would like full screen without Bottom navigation because I can even excess them using limitless remote.

Edit: limitless remote is working fine after couple reboots.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
My understanding is that, XBMC is one and same .You need either AMLogic compatible AML Player or a third party Video player such as MX Player.

Glad to have the Remote working. Please note, the Nav bar has been introduced after popular Demand. If you prefer not to use it, then please use one of Xposed Framework Modules to turn it off. The framework is included in the rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
Thanks! Can't access the nav bar with limitless remote. Pointer stops at nav bar, tail hides behind the black. Only for music and videos, so no need for it.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
I tried the 3dot mod in xplosed rebooted & get UI has stopped working. Then another. Pops up every few minutes. Disable it & no problems. Might have to go back to original version.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mhoward223:
I'm using a version of xbmc v12 (frodo) that has been built form amlogic chipsets (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Android_hardware)

its built for the pivos XIOS which uses the same amlogic chipset as the SS

its an unofficial build from the pivos forum and can be found here:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Try some other Mod. Some of these mods are Samsung Specific. If it still fails, I will post some quick zip for you to flash. Do note, if I did give you a flashable zip, it will turn off the Nav bar completely and not just for the Music and Video apps.

Thanks for posting. Do I assume there are no issues or problems with that setup ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mhoward223:
So far so good. I haven't done extensive testing as I'm in a limited environment right now. Will move it to a more open network and do more testing this weekend.

Also I'm using the espier launcher (its an ios style launcher :gag:) but seems to work best in a TV setting and its running great.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for letting me know. Please post your impressions afterwards.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] albertkinng:
Ok, I'm new here. My wife give me the SS with the keypad controller for Xmas and It seems kind of slow. It can be playable and I can get used to this lag response but If anyone can tell me this JASS 2.0 really worth trying I will appreciated it! Is this a abandon-ware already or this is in stable status?

FYI:

I got the 1.1.2.1 firmware. Don't think is rooted. (I can do it if needed)

Any Help will be appreciated. (basically I'm asking if I can go ahead and try this or not)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
This rom is pretty new & in its 2nd version. Recommend installing the JASS Rom. It doesn't run slow for me at all. Idk about the lag as I use the limitless remote android app to control.

Enjoy!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mhoward223:
Considering he just posted 2.0 I would say its not dead. 2.0 is rock solid for me so far, and if you read my above post, XBMC and video streaming has been great at 720p. I would highly recommend it over the stock.

Looking forward to 3.0 :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for the kind words.

Just FYI - Based on reports on the Favi Forums, I am looking into problems shutting down the smartstick.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] albertkinng:
I installed the JASS 2.0 and I need to say that is way better than the stock. I don't feel it faster on wifi or web streaming but is snappy and faster in everything else. Does anybody knows what version of XBMC HUB needs to be installed? I installed Android but some people is saying that the PIVOS version is the way of go. Maybe that's what is happening with me. I am not having a really good experience with XBMC right now. more or less the same experience I had with the stock version. any help will be appreciated. any app to increase Wifi performance or streaming performance? and BTW thanx for making me to install JASS 2.0 I really love it!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
For XBMC, please see this post.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
Can I get that zip file to remove the Nav/Status Bar please?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I will try to club something together this weekend. Mind you I have a more pressing issue of SS not turning off. So Gotta focus on that as well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
No worries. I'm in no hurry.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Can you try Full Screen ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HCGeek:
Worked perfectly! Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mhoward223:
Thank you, I was looking for somehting like this.

So far the rom has been rock solid and fast for me.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Op updated

OP UPDATED -

Please Note Changed Download link in the OP. In particular, the link listed under the Subsection.

has been updated. This only applies to those who have JASS Rom v2.0 previously installed. If you are planning to install JASS Rom 2.0 for the first time, then read OP for instructions.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
OTA update?

Installed 2.0, just getting started with it but looks good so far.

In the OP you list "OTA Update" that needs to be removed with Titanium or other.

I see "Blackout Updater 2.0.1" and I see "Update 1.0" but no "OTA Update".

Digging in to the properties it looks to me like you are referring to "Update 1.0" - if so, you should probably update the OP so Titanium users know how it will appear (the apk behind it is com.cvte.otaupdate, but that's not how it shows in TB).

And is Freeze ok or should it be fully uninstalled, or does it matter?

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

From this blog post: http://blog.laptopmag.com/miracast-android-mini-pc

the implication is that if you run an app called "wifidisplay" on your android stick pc, it can function as a Miracast reciever.

I have not been able to find that app - it would be a great addition to the smartstick if it can work though!

Anybody know whether that is a custom app that turns on a hardware receiver on that specific stick, or is this truly a software implementation that we could potentially take advantage of?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Thanks for the correction. OP changed. Freezing this app will be fine as well. It doesn't matter what you do. Either way you get rid of that notification.

Miracast, Wifi Display et. al are the names for DLNA service. Wifi Display in particular is a JellyBean specific compile for the hardware that supports it. For the Smartstick there's quiet a few media server apps. You can try VLC Server. There's a good discussion on the Favi's forums.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
DLNA is not what I'm after - Miracast devices also support DLNA, but the heart of Miracast is screen sharing, which is much more powerful. It runs over Wifi Direct to create a virtual HDMI cable from the phone/tablet to the receiver that plugs into the HDMI port. Android 4.2+ devices have the 'send' half of Miracast screen sharing built in. If we can get the 'receive' half working on the Smartstick, it would make it a much more powerful and useful device.

The articles I've seen so far imply that the recieve end of Miracast is software - making a Wifi Direct connection, decompressing the video bits, throwing them up the HDMI port - all the hardware is already there in the Smartstick.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Isn't the receiver bit what VLC or MediaShare do ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] a7t7d:
No, VLC lets your phone see what is on the smartstick. I want the smartstick to display what's on my phone.

Miracast uses wifi to replace the hdmi cable between the phone/tablet and the tv.

So if I walk into a conference room with a Miracast enabled tv, and I have a presentation loaded on my tablet, I click connect and my display jumps to the tv so the whole room can see exactly what is on my tablet screen in real time. So I can make notations on diagrams etc, just like plugging an external display into a laptop and mirroring the screen would do.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I had run into a Playstore app for this when I was reserching something for Version 1. Will search it when I have time.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
I did the update successfully coming from Jass v1.0.

When I went to settings about, it reported something like version to be Jass 1.05 off 1.1.2.5. Is this correct? I was expecting it to report something like 2.00

OP UPDATED -

See the details on potential solution to XBMC woes.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xyrer:
Hi, has anyone been able to rotate the screen on this? I have a tv set on its side (computer purposes), can't change it, I was wondering if I could rotate the screen so I could use some special apps on it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Are you referring to the Rom or to the SmartStick ? If its question on the Stick, please contact FAVI.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xyrer:
Well, the ability for screen rotation is on the software, is it not? the official rom doesn't support any kind of rotation, does this rom support it? or is it just beyond what can be done with software?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Yes its a Software feature to change Orientation.

Please understand, the intent of this thread is to support for the ROM in op. In your prior post, there has been no indication that you had tried the rom or any of its features to change the orientation. To me at least your question seems to be about the supporting the stick not the rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xyrer:
Well, I get your point, I may have expressed myself not clearly enough, as I said, I already know that officially it doesn't support that feature, so I'm not asking for help with the device alone, instead, I would like to know if with the help of this rom, I could have that option.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Have you tried Screen Rotation Control or similar apps from Play Store ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mauril0p:
HBO Go

Does someone got HBO Go working with the SS?

Also, any ideas to make Amazon Instant Video work with the SS?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Please see the Favi Smartstick Support Forum. Others have posted ideas there. This thread is only for the custom Rom mentioned in Op. This is not a thread for Smartstick in general.

Here's link to Favi Forums

http://smartstick.info/forum/index.php
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tekweezle:
If these apps play on your cell phone or tablet, they should run on the smart stick. Just try to install from the play store or sideload it using es file Explorer.

All the smart stick is is a android device without a screen. It's running a regular Android Os just like your cell phone or tablet.

If you tried it and it did not work, let us know what happened.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] enahsak:
Just flashed your Rom and it won't turn off. Just keep saying powering off.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Please use the most recent version.

Please use prior Jass version for now.

XBMC/Kodi 14.2 "Helix"

Just wanted to let everyone know the Kodi 14.2 “Helix” (previously known as XBMC) works on the JASS Rom!!

Download Page Link Choose Android 14.2 -> ARM

Remember to thank the OP (Perseus) for his great work! :good:

Sidenote: Was getting a parse error installing Kodi, So I did a clean install of latest JASS Rom, installed exposed framework then installing Kodi with no issues.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dwcardona:
Will this ROM work on recent FAVI devices (SSV2APC / SSV4APC) they seem to have similar specs to the original device
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
This Rom was a Stock Derived Rom for the Original SmartStick. So unless the firmware (in particular the kernel) is exactly the same of the new Smartstick, this won't flash or boot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] karandpr:
Will this ROM work on my Xperia fone ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Can you post the official update zip
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dcbj:
Could some one please if possiable post any of the updates for the stick ?

Thanx
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
The Rom in OP was a Stock Derivative. This device has been long obsolescence, not to mention outdated OS version. Any chances of updates from the manufacturer are near zero.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PaintballerAlex07:
I think he meant if anyone can post the file to download this rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Download link for the last release is in OP. Unless Favi updates the Stock firmware, updates are not coming.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PaintballerAlex07:
BTW, does anyone have the stock unmodified zip file? I'd like to install it

Did you ever make a favi 4.2.2 rom? I have the favi dual core SmartStick running android 4.2.2.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xat0s:
Jelly Bean

Jelly Bean is now on the Favi SmartStick. I still have hope for this device being I've been running 4 in my home since release and love them. Mines are dual core 8gb running android 4.2.2. Do you still plan to update to jelly bean?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Hmmm... That's an interesting thought. I can Preload XBMC. What do you mean by hardware player ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
Internal player software vs hardware player acceleration ?

I believe hardware player can play tru 1080p ?

Yea if it come preload xmbc, themes changer...etc...u will get noticed and play true 1080p

Xbmc community is big. The reason Mk808 popular because it can do all short of things

Good luck, I'm subscribing ur thread for any news update
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
As it stands, You will get true 1080p anyway on a Video playback. I typically set MX Player to Hardware Acceleration by default.

I will see what I can do On XBMC.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fritzboyle:
I know xbmc was and is my main reason for using the favi. It's a compelling suggestion. I can suggest best options for xbmc default
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
I may take oyu up on that offer. I have devil of a time with Mount-points going belly up. (Damned AMLOGIC) Once I can mount /Data I will make sure to ask for that.

one thing i notice

im running usb to ethernet not wifi

i do speedtest (i have 30Mbps home package at home)

and speedtest on favi only around 1700 kbps and less....

no matter what i do, but my laptop show 29Mbps on speedtest

is there a limit on ethernet usb ? i have test wifi also, samething...

how can u watch full stream hd if speed only 1700Kbps

please double check this. or because its hardware ? but i double since my droid 2 running core 2 with 4.1 Android showing 19 to 20 Mbps on speedtest using wifi
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
There's quiet a few things at play here. You can't compare the Wireless Antenna on the SS with your Cellphone or Laptop. The hardware and basebands are waayyyy different.

First off, your Ethernet Chip in that adapter may not be supported. There's a list of supported adaptors on FAVI's fourm.

This device although supports Ethernet, it is not intended to be used in this fashion.

Next, there could be interference from other wireless networks (neighbors ?). This affects the SS more than your Cellphone. Run Wi-Fi Analyzer on the SS and check the results. As simple as changing channel on your router will make dramatic difference.

Lastly, I personally have watched and do watch 1080P Full HD movies on EPIX HD app. There is no buffering whatsoever. As I said in the OP, I built this rom with particular focus on Wireless Performance. Have you tried it ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
im on latest favi rooted.

have not yet try ur room

but lateset version seem fix alot things ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
In that case follow the instructions I gave above.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
i noticed the xbmc streaming really slow movie , 720p

just test with trailer apple or even you tube 720, streaming so lag, i dont know due by netword or software but i downloaded xbmc frodo hardware acceleration
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Please see my earlier post on improving network speed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nimper:
Thanks for your work on this. Can't wait to try it!

I've had a Smartstick for a few months but I don't really use it because of the abysmal network performance... can't watch any streaming videos at all because it will buffer constantly.

Hopefully your efforts will fix that :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
It takes one click to press the button. But this helps too!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kevin-kor:

Thank You i need this :cyclops:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
i have tried ur room

no matter wht i do

the speedtest showing around 1.3 to 1.5 Mbps only

with wifi and usb to ethernet port

the router is 15 feet away.. with usb to ethernet port direct to router still showing that speed

the test location is 25miles from here ( nearest location )

so i think this is something wrong on the room or speed limit ?

i tried fllash back original room too, same speed.

How can i get up to at least 7 to 8Mbps ?

cant even watch anything with 1.3 Mbps, that is lower than my 3G iphone
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Have you checked Channel Congestion with Wifi analyzer ? Install that App on your smartstick and then change your router over to a different uncluttered channel.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
i have tried,

also direct ethernet too...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
If you tried Wifi analyzer, please post screenshot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
I believe Chanel 11 is strongest ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Yes you believe correctly. Switch your router to that channel if not done so already. Then Make SS forget your SSID. Reboot the SS and then Re-Start from there.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
I did n that would make it even slower on speed test app

Only under 1Mbps

My router has abgn banda which auto set on each device.

I'm pretty much confident it's a limit on either hardware or software. Not on configuration
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
If your router has mixed mode, then switch to N-Only mode. That will definitely improve the things.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
I did prior change the Chanel but didn't help

Don't known what's going on.

Does anyone experience samething ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Perseus:
Your single line responses so far have not provided much to go on. There's not much I can do to help unless you can furnish more details.

Besides this is a Discussion thread of the ROM, which incidentally you do not use and do not wish to use. You are trying to hijack this thread to use as FAVI Support forum. They actually do have their own forum over at

does anyone know how to root the Favi Smartstick
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mrl0n3ly714:
so i fixed the problem for anyone experienced same issue with slow internet connection.

u gotta put the router next to SS, lie really next to it, the antenna on SS is really poor, even 5 to 10 feets away from router will decrease tremendous of the speed.

SS does not make to use USB to Ethernet port, only under 2Mbps.

I put the SS next to router and its showing 16Mbps
