Im working on a service that allows you to create automatic backups. Maybe I add also the option to save data in the cloud :)
[Android Apps and Games] prusiu:
can someone test this app? i need feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] kunal1540:
I think data and apk should be restored in one go.

I had to restore them separately and even then I had to log into a Facebook client that I use.

And in mutirestore do we have to install all apks one by one.

That is one heck of a job if you have 200+ apps for a person like me
[Android Apps and Games] prusiu:
if you restore 200+ apps better to use recovery mode. " I had to log into a Facebook client" - i had the same problem with Twitter app. I have to look at it :) and thanks for feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Some apps can't be saved. I have 80 user apps in TiBu and only 68 with Amazing Backup (CM themes for instance are missing).

I also have a weird popup at start.
[Android Apps and Games] prusiu:
I'll fix it. You admitted access rights when you first start the application? Your path to Amazing Backup folder don't have rights to write files. You can install app agin and give rights

Update!

Recovery: add option "reboot to recovery"

Added Auto Backup section but disabled for now :)

Improve permissions for android M

load more applications and improve serialization

Improve removed app layout

Removed Apps: add option to restore apk + data

Fix "no writable" main path

After this update AmazingBackup does not read the previous backup because of serialization improvement. Sorry for this but you must delete whole AmazingBackup folder and create backup agin.

Thanks for using Amazing Backup :)

The Mini M8S TV Box is a new budget box running Android 5.1 with the Amlogic S905 and 2GB of Ram.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fireman_vt:
Hello,

it coming with root or how it can be rooted?

Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bvjens31:
The Mini M8S is very intriguing. SD card, Bluetooth, and 2 GB RAM. Just need to find it from a reputable retailer online, since I'm probably going to stay away from Gearbest. Would like to know if this box can be wiped and installed with a vanilla Android OS. Would like to start from scratch and not be running any of their pre-installed junk.

Also kind of a bummer this doesn't do 5G wifi. I would think that all the newer boxes would include it. It's got everything else I'm looking for in a budget Kodi box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bvjens31:
According to the review, it's already rooted. I think the question is whether or not it can be flashed with a different ROM. Hopefully there's a guide out soon. Would love to get vanilla Android on it. (just ordered one off Gearbest)

Question:

Is this unlocked i.e rooted? I came across many apps that say not supported by this device in the play store. Is this where I should or could side load them by merely downloading the .apk myself ?

Hello Brown,

Thank you for your inquiry,it is unlocked but not rooted.You can download the app in the media center like kodi.Have a nice day.

Got mine yesterday from gearbest. It was rooted and I must say I'm very impressed. Very fast and played everything I've tried with no buffering and perfect picture. Very happy
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Gunde:
Hi, can you tell me if this boots when powered or do you have to turn it on with the remote? Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] KevandLynds:
It's powered up as soon as I plugged in the cable

Hello, I also I got one. Well done, compact, without lags. The device is root. Only small usb ports and little available RAM. I personally use a Nova launcher and combined small keyboard with touch.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vantsas:
Hi to all. Does anyone know how to reflash the rom in case we need to do so? The device is rooted. A bad apk may cause harm. Where can we find the rom to reflash if this happens?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Tjay2365:
I've also got e of these but is giving me problems with failed updates and random reboots. Could do with reflashing to see if this solves the problem but I have no idea as to where to get the files from for this device. Anyone know?

Or is there a different firmware I can try?

Where can I download firmware updates?

Hello Bryan,

Please kindly send us e-mail to http://www.gearbest.com/about/contact-us.html. Then we will contact our supplier to ask for the update firmware.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tcpip6:
This box is very nice, here are some details:

There is a small hole underneath for the reset button; you can use a toothpick to hold the button while you insert the power. This will give you access to recovery.

Looking at traffic flow I can see it connects to fota4.adups.cn to determine if there is a new update and downloads the updates from: hwfotadown.mayitek.com

Here is the latest patch as of this writing:

http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...04011829-LMY47V-2016041117331460428050687.zip

At this time I am unable to find a full firmware IMG file that I could use with the "USB Burning Tool" (The ultimate recovery, if things go bad)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] r0c0:
For me there is no OTA update (says i have the latest), device comes with firmware from 28 of March, It is working fine though.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vantsas:
I installed Selinux mode changer to make Selinux permissive and after reboot the device was unresponsive. I tried the reset procedure as described by tpcip6 above and after a factory restore the device restored the rom perfectly. All apps were there despite the fact that i had uninstalled a couple of them. I was surprised. How could this happen? Is there a hidden recovery partition or something? Anyway i was happy that the box was fully functional again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pratikp16:
I'm getting the same problem. Other people have mentioned that there's an update by my OTA is saying it's up to date even though i have the March version. Even the screenshots from [MENTION=1859665]fireman_vt[/MENTION] show an April update.

Thanks to [MENTION=7249083]tcpip6[/MENTION] i've downloaded the new update.

Also, i'm having an issue with Kodi and SPMC where any 5.1 file i play with passthrough enabled causes audio drops every few seconds (i'm using HDMI). Hopefully the updated can help with this issue.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] r0c0:
Did you manually applied the update and did it work?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pratikp16:
I am still at work so haven't had a chance. I hope it's as simple as booting into recovery and flashing? Will try an OTA just before in case.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] r0c0:
Dont think you need recovery, just copy the file to root of sdcard and then in the update app choose offline.

Maybe they removed the update because of issues like the disappearing of google play store?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wolferitza:
Same thing here. Did you find a solution?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] scjbirch:
I have no idea what i'm doing wrong but it won't even install OpenELEC. Just a blank screen with no signal when i hold in reset and power on after setting up the SD

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pratikp16:
Wonder if it's possible to wipe whatever the WIFI fix is supposed to overwrite and then flash the full IMG again?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
That's basically what I did. I wiped cache, dalvik, system and data then restored nandroid backup prior to wifi fix then flashed the wifi fix image. Good speed with my primary router but still very poor with the second, the one next to the box. So I did factory reset of the second router, reconfigured it as WAP like before and put it farther away.

Between those things somehow I got 33Mbps back but I don't know what fixed it. Maybe signal overdrive? Maybe certain connection settings retained by firmware on either sides? My PC was on the same network but was never affected. Needless to say, I don't dare to flash update.zip anymore.

Does anyone know what update.zip does or whether we need it over the WiFi fix image?

You don't need to revert to RW.

That is also what i was doing, keep read only then when i select the backup if doesn't flash.

This video is of a device outputting Dolby Digital. It says it on the player "AAC" and on the receiver "Dolby Surr". I have no problem with Dolby Digital. It goes to the receiver just fine. It's DTS that is problematic.

I saw the same thing on their web page, but I still sent them the message through the form. I even saved it so I can re-send it quickly.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Abner78:
You're right... done so many testing and trying that I'm forgetting what's working and what's not.

In my case, DTS have always problems , dolby digital I noticed it depends on the movie/video.

Also noticed that DTS droputs are more frequent (8-10 seconds) than on DD (30-40 seconds, when happens).

Hello gentlemen, I have a problem with the fact, that I can not get into the settings of this unit originally Chinese, when I click on it then just blink. Perhaps this occurred after uploading another launcher and, of course, even when I run the original, so it's not. Then I do not go there too apps that I found on the g. play, which are designed for the android tv, either don't install -that they are not compatible :eek: - or are going to install, but do not work, just blink and nothing happend. You'd know someone what to do with it?

I still did not flash firmware or otherwise interfered in it ..

By the way, what applications to use, to be operable only by the original remote control? Mainly Web browser on my mind, but even more what you use?

M8S+ Android TV Remote Control problems

I've got the M8S+ running version "userdebug 5.1.1 lmy47v 2160115 test keys"

But i'm having trouble to use my nexus 5X or nexus 9 (both running stock) as remote.

Google provides an app Android TV Remote Control, but the app can't find the m8s+.

I've tried to connect it through wired and wireless, without any success. Has anybody an idea how to get it up and running?

With below post i can currently use my phone as remote device :), but i find the app a little buggy..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Godzi:
I am not experiencing this problem. Maybe try updating to version 104L03 by following the guides previously posted in this thread, and then do the 105L03 OTA update using the built-in updater on the box. If the applications are gone, just go ahead and reset the settings to default and they will re-appear.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Abner78:
Tried it and it was even worse: not only the DTS problems remain, but video problems where added (running slow and then fast continuously)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Abner78:
To whom may be interested: I tried this method

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=235305&page=7

Using terminal and just giving command:

echo 2 >/sys/class/audiodsp/digital_codec

made all problem with DTS disappear , BUT :

1) Stereo audio gone : every video with audio 2.0 is mute

2) After 20 minutes of playing, sound start stuttering (I don't know how else describe it)

So far, the system is useless to me ... maybe if I didn't have an amplifier would be a good choice.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
Remix is Android for PC, how do you expect it on Aml device?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mondohow:
Remis OS on this box could be possible: http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/03...s-2-0-on-amlogic-s905-processor-crowdfunding/

That said, it would prob not be officially supported and depend on the community to compile and support.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ali7_has:
In fact many of S905 devices are officially supported by Remix like the one from MX. http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
Hmm, that's quite new for me thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mondohow:
Not sure that list can count as "many". Tronsmart and Teclast are somewhat big names in the game. We are playing with a no name Mini M8S with good specs but still questionable official support. I say questionable because this wifi issue has affected every one of these boxes I've tried, yet no official update has fixed it. If not for the community those of us who rely on wifi would suffer.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pratikp16:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] David7578:
The problem I see with remix OS is that you can't install it easily from recovery for example (like twrp)

I wanted to try the mxq pro image as it has 100m ethernet and a very similar pcb.

Ideally, the guys feom remix os would create a generic image with multiple drivers to adapt to many -if not all- S905 boxes. But it might be android is not flexible enough to change drivers at install.

how to unroot?

Hi, I bought this device several weeks ago. It wouldn't update from 104l2 but thanks to you guys I was able to do it manually through usb. There's still one problem though: the device is pre-rooted. I've tried to do the full unroot from the super su app but this doesn't work, it hangs. So how do I unroot my box? thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mondohow:
Check the thread on 4PDA, there was a post from someone who installed Remix there was no wifi/lan and no sound.

You gotta figure if Jide let every Android TV box manufacturer in on the Remix train it'll cut into profits on the Remix Mini.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] David7578:
Well for profits, you can always count on long term support.

Regarding lan/wifi, I had the same problem with openelec image. Install was easy, but no network (I used a minimx image, it has a gigabit lan adapter...)

Looking at specs for the mxq flavors, one had 100M so I was willing to try, but the installation process seems to be too cumbersome.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lightning_edge:
Does this device support HDMI CEC?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] David7578:
It does on my old low end philips screen, I only have on/off sync, that's enough if you ask me.
