I think that if the audio does not work is that your sound card is referenced under pcmC0D9p.

I can add pcmC0D9p in the audio settings
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Yes please do, and while you're in there, please put back the remote volume up/down control.

I did notice that in version 1.1, I could not use my custom keymap file. Didn't try in 1.3. Always used the default mapping

Thanks

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

What su commands can I use to determine which pcm file is actually being used? I really want both audio outputs working, HDMI and Smart Control (USB).

I did get the HDMI sound back by reinstalling, but I want the headphone jack to also work. Also, the HDMI volume is much lower than it use to be. Not sure how to adjust that.
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
Like this when you use: ls -l /dev/snd/

pcmC0D0p is always the default output

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2019-03-19 15:27 pcmC0D0p -> pcmC0D7p

Then we redirect pcmC0D0p to the desired output here pcmC0D7p

You can send in private your Keylayout file and if no conflict, i can integrate it in next update.

And i thinks your headphone jack is pcmC1D0p

Hey guys :)

Where can I download this build?
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
PM [MENTION=3385560]TOSanthony[/MENTION] for payment instructions. This build is well worth it.
[Device Reviews and Information] aas88keyz:
I agree. One of the best OS's I have used for my HTPC. I was using linux mint and booting directly into Kodi which was good on resources and drivers (kinda). I like that I can use native streaming apps as apposed to unofficial plugins that continue to break.

ATV x86 has all the streaming apps I need. including Amazon Prime, DirecTV Now, Hulu and Youtube among others. Unfortunately I have some disadvantages also. I can not natively install Netflix. So yeah, I require Kodi that maintains my mp3 library and an app that allows me to watch Netlfix and Vudu on a plugin that hasn't failed me yet. I just can't find a Kodi app that supports x64 for ATV x86. So with kodi I only am allowed to use 4 gigs of memory and 4 cores cpu. I am waiting for that ship to come in.

Good job TOSsanthony. I have heard rumors (just that) that your supporting a OS based on what others have ported. I believe that it is awesome that you are able to continue the work to support for it for it's faithful followers. Bravo!
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Did you get Amazon Prime to work on this build? What version did you use? Amazon Prime is not one of the included apps.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

@TOSanthony , Is there a way to just apply the update going from 1.3 to 1.4? Or do I have to reinstall everything all over again.
[Device Reviews and Information] aas88keyz:
Actually Prime nor DirecTV Now apps are exactly native to the ATV x86. But this link shows how you can download FireTV apk's to Nvidia Shield and a lot of other android devices. The OP has been making this happen in this xda forum for a very long time. So I am confident it is safe. I would not link it if it wasn't. The app's work just like the native FireTV apps they come from. Read up on it and see what you think.

https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/help/ultimate-directv-fire-tv-apk-repository-t3854154
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
I will check the AP apk today and report back.
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Things I noticed with the latest version 1.4

The Amazon Prime app still does not work. It installs ok, but kicks you out if you try to watch anything.

Netflix does not open.

The Android TV core services now updates as expected.

Cannot download any updates with Ethernet. WiFi works. I already reported an issue using Realtek GBE.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

pcmC1D0p is the HDMI

I think pcmC2D0c is the headphone. No option for that

Is there a way to manually set it for testing?

I attached the sound card map
[Device Reviews and Information] aas88keyz:
Which wifi adapter are you using? I have to use onboard ethernet. I have 3 wifi adapters I tried. All of the adapters are found during boot up but when I finish loading they aren't there anymore. ethernet is required for me but I am using an old powerline adapter so it gives me a fraction of my total bandwidth. I was going to pick up a powerline upgrade but I would prefer is I can go wireless AC instead.

Your right about the amazon app. I just got the password and took me 3 restarts in order to see the video list. When I actually attempt to play a video it does not crash the app but it tells me there was an error and try again later or call tech support. well I doubt Amazon tech support will help me with a modified Firetv app. I will continue working on it or go the the other forum for answers.
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Same result here with Amazon Prime. Amazon tech support is a joke. Been there, done that.

As far as the WiFi. I have 2 AC Intel's, neither are even recognized, but I think that may be the box. Intel, Atheros, and Ralink 300N adapters work fine, just slow. On my other box, which is a small desktop, I had to install an Intel adapter because the Realtek on board Ethernet didn't work. Bluetooth never worked with any adapter, even a USB one.
[Device Reviews and Information] aas88keyz:
Yeah I dread wireless N for streaming lol. But maybe I can reference those brand names for an AC one. And I have a bluetooth adapter for usb which would work.

Hey

Running latest installer (1.1.4) with update 1.1.8 applied. Things is mostly working fine, but the fan on my Intel Nuc (4. gen i5 CPU) is blowing like a turbo prop engine. Been running Windows 10 on the same box before without this issue. Anything I can do? Should a i5 not be sufficient? 8 GB ram and SSD.
[Device Reviews and Information] badfrogg:
I can defiantly recommend this build. Hope to see it fully functional soon. I unfortunately I did not have the time to help with beta testing but will keep an eye on its progress. I encourage all who have time to help Anthony make this build solid. Keep it up!
[Device Reviews and Information] aas88keyz:
Well I weighed out the advantages to the disadvantages from me continuing to depend on ATV x86 as my htpc or moving back to linux mint. I went to atv x86 for the native apps. unfortunately all the apps I use still require work arounds. Linux has a lot more work arounds mainly through Kodi but I am more experienced with linux work arounds for the last 3 years and they tend to be better in functionality and quality.

Root was an issue to me also. it was like a hybrid root. I had to do a work around on magisk just so it would hide root for the apps that blacklist root. I want root and I want hidden.

here is a further short list of things i need for my htpc that ATVx86 can not provide but linux mint can:

Native x64 apps and plugins. (without 64 bit os my 8 core cpu only gets 4 cores, my 8 GB memory only compatible for less than 4 GB)

surround sound (passthrough hdmi)

support for modern dedicated gpu wiith continued renewed drivers

bluetooth

Wifi AC usb adapter

Faster bootup time

I will be using Kodi for all my streaming needs. White listed of course. Including: Netflix, DirecTV Now, Prime, Hulu, Youtube, and the Shout Factory TV plugins to start. There are other white listed but that is what I am using now

So to conclude, the ATVx86 is fun for me as an enthusiast always in trying something that may be better. I admit that I like to get my hands dirty in linux cause I have have been tweaking with it for about years. Though they are similiar I feel limited on fulfilling my own needs on android. But I must say that next time I get another couple old pc's from clients that I will continue to test Android. It just won't be my main HTPC right away. Keep up the work and I will continue to you successes.
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
For non Linux people AndroidTVx86 is a far better choice. Linux is way too techie and difficult to learn for the average Joe. So for those use to working with Linux Mint, of course it is a better choice. But not for the rest of us.

Also, Kodi is a PIA. Always had issues with it. I use Emby.

[Device Reviews and Information] sukhish:
Hi guys,

So i've managed to get it to work after trying really hard and it's working fine, a bit laggy and slow for my biffy machine but that's an issue which i can think about later... Right now the major issue which is breaking it for me is

It only boots from the onboard gpu, i have gtx 1080 and from that it gets stuck at the android prompt

Please help me out, as i am really looking forward to use it on the regular bases... Thanks a bunch!
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
1. Will pick onboard by default, don't know how to get around that. Don't think Nvidia is supported

2. Sound will only come from HDMI or DP with onboard video.
[Device Reviews and Information] sukhish:
Thanks mate... But that's going to be a big problem if it can't work with nvidia gpu... Hope someone can put some light on it, better yet... Provide a solution, that'll be awesome.

Sound I've figured out... Hence the edit! [emoji6]

[MENTION=3385560]TOSanthony[/MENTION] Mate, is nvidia gfx supported in your oreo update? I have GTX 1080 and the naugat version doesn't work with it... Have to use onboard graphics. So if oreo supports it then I'll go for it right away... Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
Test with this option in Grub :

nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
if people with Oreo TV and have Nvidia GPU can try this option in Grub :

nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0

Normaly this option enable nvidia support
[Device Reviews and Information] sukhish:
Tried adding the above mentioned command on grub by pressing "c" at the boot menu and then pressing esc brings me to the same fugu prompt menu... So doesn't work, unless I am doing something wrong....

P.S. Using naugat lates version

Also, what command do I need to execute on grub to boot android? Exit command boot into Windows

I'd really appreciate if you could help with this process and guide me in the right direction... Really looking forward to make this work!
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
Nougat TV is kernel 4.4.34 you can try with another version of Android with kernel 4.14 or above then try command posted early in grub
[Device Reviews and Information] sukhish:
Well there are only two versions available on your site... Naugat and oreo.

Amd where do I download the kernel from?
[Device Reviews and Information] dotnano:
tbh, I tried this Oreo build and it was far from easy to use. And I'm a full time linux user, so trying and tinkering is ok for me. So I stopped trying after a few hours.

By paying 12 € I really expect 90 % working out-of-the-box. I had no sound, apps didn't install, everything was laggy. (tried on a zotac zbox ci327)
[Device Reviews and Information] fax88:
I have to agree with you on this one. especially when you can buy a xiaomi mi box with Oreo working and built in chormecast for $50USD at walmart. Beta should be free. Not charging your testers.
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
xiaomi mi box has poor reviews all over the internet. Maybe you're the lucky one.
[Device Reviews and Information] eastbayarb:
I had this running on an Optiplex 9020 SFF that I got on OfferUp for $30, and despite a few quirks, it ran really well. I really wouldn't want to even try a cheap Android box.
[Device Reviews and Information] dgm1960:
I am running the Nougat free version on a NUC i3 6th Gen. Everything works amazingly smooth, and would be perfect except I have no audio through HDMI. Big thanks to TOSanthony for his work on this, and I will be upgrading to Oreo shortly with a donation. If I can get HDMI audio working then this is the perfect HTPC for my usage.

[Device Reviews and Information] pepepe1994:
Is the OP gonna keep private the Oreo version forever? I don't know if so less people paying for it makes it worth it instead of make it public and allowing people to collaborate. Which could make the project more famous and relevant
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Wouldn't be fair at this point to publicly release it when many have paid. Don't be a cheapskate, it's not that much money. And this way TOS is sort of obligated to do more.

Need help with installation.

Hello people. I've been struggling for 3 days now.

What I've done:

Created a partition(32 GB (ext4)).

Downloaded: "android_tv-x86_twrp_1.1.4".

Used Rufus to make USB bootable (16GB USB(FAT32)).

Restarted PC.

Booted to USB.

Installed AndroidTV on partition(ext4).

Successful.

Runs androidTV.

Then a command line pops up

"Android fugu#" or something is the sort and nothing happens. I can only input a command but what should I try?

Thanks so much!
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Just use the default Rufus settings for the USB installation stick

Then create two partitions on your install disk 1-500MB(FAT32) and 1-Rest of the space(EXT4)

Then boot from USB stick and choose installation from the menu.

Or just run Android TV from the USB stick.

I suggest using UEFI compatible hardware. And boot UEFI
[Device Reviews and Information] EquinoX295:
Thanks for replying.

So I should basically take an empty harddrive, create 2 partitions within it, 1. 500MB(fat32) and 2. The rest(ext)?

Then use rufus default settings(nfts) and create a bootable USB drive with androidtv ISO.

Boot to it and install androidtv to the drive or partition?

Sorry for my ignorance. Im pretty new to partitions and installing android.
[Device Reviews and Information] sukhish:
To be honest I was initially a bit sceptical too! Spending all that money and 12eur in my currency is high (inr) and yes, the software isn't perfect and still has a long way to go. But let me tell you my experience after buying it from TOS, it's been over a couple of weeks since I've done this transaction and this guy TOS is absolutely amazing. I am completely blown away and plesent surprised with how much he is there to help you with everything.... I have had some tiny issues in the past and every time I have pinged him on discord... He's always come back with a potential solution...

So hat's off to the amazing service and a nicely working software with potential to be absolutely amazing in the future.

Thank you TOS! [emoji4]

I was facing the same fugu prompt issue, I just had to use my onboard graphics instead of nvidia gfx and it worked fine.... You should try that as well, incase you're using discreet graphics card
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
Yes, use the onboard graphics. Does not work well with discrete graphics, and frankly is an overkill and not necessary.

Intel HD Graphics work best and use gigabit ethernet. The rest is not important.
[Device Reviews and Information] EquinoX295:
For some reason normal android 8.1 works 100%. with my gtx 1080 But now when I tried again with previous android TV ISO. Black screen and nothing. Should I try onboard graphics? or?
[Device Reviews and Information] sukhish:
Absolutely, just simply use onboard graphics as of now, atleast till we can dream to have 4k and hdr implementation [emoji849]

Besides, there are too many bugs with dedicated graphics... Even with oreo update. I have gtx1080 too but stopped using it till the time there is a stable and more accurate release for the same.
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
All Intel Processors from 3rd gen up support 4K. Whether the drivers in Android 8.1 does, is another matter. idk

Installation Guide (Partition)

So after many hours of trying to figure out what to do. I've figured it out.

So I would like to share my experience so if someone is struggling, I can atleast give some tips etc.

For some users this may not work as not all PC's are the same. This is not the Official guide. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Requirements for installation

:

- Any USB stick. It just has to store the installation files. In my case 16GB.

- Storage space to install it on. (When installing it will allow you to create a partition on any drive connected to your PC)

- AndroidTV files: LINK

Go to Installer -> Download whichever you would like. (Updates can also be downloaded and installed from this website)

- Rufus to make the USB stick bootable.

Minimum Requirements for device:

Processor Dual Core or higher (Better processor=Better performance)

RAM 2GB or higher (preferably 4GB of RAM)

Storage 5GB or higher (preferably 16 or 32 GB of Storage and I would highly recommend a SDD)

Installation

Follow this GUIDE

Just use the Android TV ISO you downloaded earlier, don't use the one in the video.

Troubleshooting:

"cannot mount /dev/sdxx" (x being a placeholder).

Stop and start your PC normally. Download DiskGenius. Use it to create a partition for storage(32GB or whatever you would like) and format it with Ext4 file system. Then do the whole installation again but this time select the Ext4 partition at "choose a partition". Then continue to follow the guide again.

Black Screen while starting

In my case it was my dedicated GPU. You must use your Integrated GPU. So Install it again while using your integrated GPU.

ANDROID fugu#

This can also be solved by using integrated GPU. So do same as above.

TV Setup

If you installed androidTV onto a laptop and want to use HDMI to your tv screen. Reboot your pc and on the grub menu select the video=LVDS-1:d option, and type exit, press enter on the keypad, type exit again and press enter on the keypad again. It should display on the tv screen​

.

This is what worked for me. Hoped this works for you.

Cheers.
[Device Reviews and Information] dcol:
First of all, an i7 is way overkill for a lightweight Android OS. But that is your decision.

Updates are done via TWRP, which you get to from the boot menu.

The hangs could be Play Store updates in progress. wait it out. Or your network interface is not fully compatible. I could not even do updates with a Realtek on board NIC, Had to install an Intel NIC before the updates started working properly.
[Device Reviews and Information] EquinoX295:
Hey man, so I basically what I've done is install everything on my old laptop. It has i5 3rd gen and 6gb of ram.

Everything works like a charm. It works just like a normal box.

It detected my android device and I use it as my remote. I cant believe how well seamless everything is working.

But now how do I use my laptop on my tv? I have a hdmi and connected them. But how do I screen mirror or use it on my tv?

Any ideas?
