Update and a big surprise!

Well since my last post I decided to put my H96 box back to how it was by doing a complete re-install.

I connected to the latest Flash Tool as I had downloaded Ricky's new suite and whilst trying to extract and flash TWRP had an error message reading "Unable to unpack recovery". I overcame this by closing the tool and reopening and connecting again. This time I simply flashed a previous image straight into recovery and rebooted to TWRP from the tool.

That's as far as I got with that because this is where it gets good. The Amazon delivery man arrived with a R-TV S10 S912 3/16GB Q9377 DDR4 box which I had ordered. Like a kid with a new toy I deserted the H96 and started on the S10! Had the same error message in the Flash Tool so did the same as previous and made a full backup of the S10.

Installed Poison Rom v4.1 very quickly. The only discernable thing was slight greenish artifacting in the transition from Boot Logo to Boot Animation but in probably less than 2 minutes I was at the home screen.

First thing I tried was the remote which was at hand and it worked the second thing then was wifi which unfortunately didn't want to know. Navigation & Status bars were working correctly and all the apps had installed. I installed New Pipe (lightweight YouTube) and then connected to Bluetooth that also worked! Sound was perfect.

The surprising thing to me was that anything worked whereas it did not on the H96's which have similar specs. The biggest surprise was when I realised I was using the H96 remote!!!

Everything seemed to be working including volume keys, home key the D-Pad and also sleep mode, restart, power off and also power on. I then tried the correct S10 remote and that functioned as well.

Tomorrow I will have a look at replacing the H96 files with those which I will extract from the S10 and see what happens.

I'm getting something to eat now, it's 7pm here and I haven't had breakfast yet!!

Will keep you posted.

See my last post. Hopefully between all of us we will get there in the end. I am sure that Ricky is also working very hard on this.

Regards
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
There is instructions everywhere on doing so

Did you set correct permissions?

Thats really odd..

Try also replacing all files in /system/usr/keylayout folder

Slightly off topic but does anyone know how to flash xposed module on s912? Is it just same steps as you would do on phone? Flash through twrp?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I personally have never used xposed, im pretty syre nowadays it has to run systemless??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Jigga2g:
Would xposed module "fake wifi" work with this too. You can choose apps you want the module to make think is working on Wi-Fi when really on Ethernet.

I use it for spectrum news app which only works on Wi-Fi but this module makes the app think I'm on Wi-Fi while still really only on Ethernet.

Just install frame work

https://xposed-installer.en.uptodown.com/android

Then reboot

Done.

not sure if this has to so with anything but my led app disspeared i can no longer turn off the led even the remote doesnt work. has it do with my uninstalling default launcher? how can i fix this
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluefender:
i replaced the whole keylayout folder with my original keylayout from original rom, then rezipped the rom with winrar

only the power button works after flashing poison...so there is hope, set permissions ? i just changed folders out

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] muncheno:
Have you solved your problem with home button.

I have the samw issue, when i press home on my remote it kill the app.

What I did is install button mapper and remap home button as home.

It seem to solved my home button issue.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] inscriber:
Yes it's the same way. I flash it yesterday but system became very unstable and and slow. So I remove it and reflash poison again.

What browser you use for internet I try a few they all are slow even this one that is baked into poison.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
This is an underlying issue i face with every AMLogic based T player from S905w/S905x/S912.

My best bet would be the apps are not optimized to be displays at this size.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] drakulaboy:
I installed Xposed trough TWRP then Installer from apk, success, but a lot of modules don't work, i installed only for changing DPI on some apps, but it won't work on Nougat
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
No mate but I'll be sure to give this a go, cheers
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Just a workaround for this moment:

If you use the bottom nav to go to 'histoy apps' and choose another app and after that push the Home button Spotify will stay on.... Not the ultimate solution, but it works.... ;)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
I removed nav bars, I use a air remote as I like to have all my apps on home screen.

For the person asking about browser I use Google Chrome with scrolling/liquid UI from LSpeed, it makes everything really smooth.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

What version of xposed is needed?

Edit: SDK 25 arm64 worked

Latest apk installer, running fakewifi & vanced YouTube to run everything at highest resolution possible. Perfect!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] scooby5559:
try using magisk and xposed sdk module from there, you also need to installed the modded xposed.apk linked in the download for modules to work. have magisk and xposed running fine on my x92, unfortunately not with poison rom though :(
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
All up and running flawlessly here! H96 pro+ set up, just need to tweak gt1 a little

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Would xposed module "fake wifi" work with this too. You can choose apps you want the module to make think is working on Wi-Fi when really on Ethernet.

This worked like a charm!! Cheers

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Your missing out man, this ROM is unbelievable. Everytime my daughter used to switch from YouTube to games quickly it would get a "system has stopped working" error n would have to pull AC n replug back in. On here it works perfectly haven't had a single FC on anything yet.

I picked up a h96 pro plus and beelink gt1 ultimate from gearbest for £40 each on flash sale, was feeling a bit sick that I wasted so much money n was just going to cut my losses n buy a shield. This ROM was my last hope, I wasn't expecting much from this but it really is great
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] scooby5559:
Not really, i have poison rom installed on my t95z.

Just doesnt work on x92 with latest 'official' 7.1.2 rom.

As far as Im aware Ricky is still looking into why as I sent him a link to the image file i used.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
Ahh I see, fair enough. Least you have it on atleast 1 box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] woodsy45:
Hello Ricky, yes I actually wrote the permissions down on a notepad against the file names before starting. But it is easy to make a typo so flashed my backup this morning just to confirm they were correct and they were. The only button working is Power which will turn the box on from Shut Down and that is it. Haven't reconnected the S10 yet to extract the files from that.

Unfortunately my friends have just dropped their box off which is stuck on blue power light and they are away on holiday tomorrow afternoon so I will have to do that first.

Thanks for all the help and advice though.

I have a Vorke Z1 3/32 DDR4 Ram. My actual firmware ist Android 7.12 (Zhorik13 The Ten). Can i install your firmware ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
try the 3/32GB variant, backup in recovery first, it will not kill your device if it doesnt work, you will simply have to restore from within recovery

Also let me know if it works
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LAX_2_TLV:

Hi is there a way to eneble hdmi cec again? If i turn it on in settings it just dont work and after restart its off

It's possible that the APK has bugs, I have not used Netflix for a long time so my account is suspended, I'll look more into it

error message while trying to install the zip file

Hi Ricky,

First of all thank you for all the great work you do for these S912 boxes!

I followed your tutorial.

And I'm now trying to install PoisonV2.0-2_16.zip from Recovery menu.

But I always get the same error message:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 on /sdcard by read-only (Device or resource busy)

Veryfying update package...

E:footer is wrong

Update package verification took 0.5 s (result 1) .

E:Signature verification failed

E:eroor: 21

Installation aborted

I'm running Android 7.1.1 v1013 on the 2G/16G box

Do you have any idea of what's wrong?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Do you flashing that using twrp recovery?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nfaa183:
Hi k.martin,

Thanks for your fast answer!

I pushed the custom ROM with adb as described in the tutorial, so I would say yes. But is there any way to be sure that the recovery menu is the one from TWRP?

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Indeed it was a problem with my recovery image.

I did a mistake when I copy/paste the commands to adb :o

Thanks a lot for the hint :good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
No problem at all. If you want to enter recovery you can download app from play just search for recovery reboot... Or you can do it manualy by: unplug power supply insert tooth pick into AV hole you should feel cklick that small button keep that pressed and plug power supply back and you should enter recovery after few sec.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] john_semple:
I MAY well be wrong (I suspect not) but I guess the fact that the screen is going blank right away after it shows the poison screen and not coming out of that is not good (and I admit my fault I tried to install SuperSU on to the device) it hasn't worked
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
It should work if you did all in steps... Best to try again and install superSU after it all starts...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
See if you can get back to twrp recovery and install this zip unSU, download from here

Then see if it reboots back to system. If it does, reboot back to twrp recovery and install the zip Magisk instead of SuperSU. Download Magisk from here.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] john_semple:
I can't get into TWRP recovery though that the problem. All I can do is turn it well try turn it off for a start back on it shows the T95Z Plus logo boots the poison boot up screen then stays blank (it MAY be in recovery mode for all I know as the box itself doesn't change the time and the light on the box stays blue) but I just can't see a thing (I've tried to put firmware files on a microSD card but no joy)

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

and the ADB method to reboot into recovery isn't working either if I could get into that I would probably be fine
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
So just to verify, you have tried to get into recovery whilst holding the reset button in while plugging or turning the power on.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Unplug power cable insert tooth pick into AV should feel click hold it down and plug power cable back that gets you to recovery
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] john_semple:
maybe i'm not getting the right part of AV right tried a paper clip and I thought I had the right button pressed but seemingly not (in the AV solution) that seems to be my sticking point trying to get the AV correct. I will keep trying though
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
Use a small allen key or something a bit stronger than a paper clip. You will need to feel the button press in, once pressed in, plug power in and keep holding it in until recovery shows on the screen.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marty_s13:
Hi, thanks for an awesome rom. I seem to still be having an issue with my device that I was hoping the rom might resolve but it doesn't seem to have. Basically it doesn't seem to wake from sleep anymore, the LED turns on and I get a clock displayed but nothing happens and I have to unplug the power cable to boot. I even switched the power button to shut down completely but then I just got boot displayed and it didn't go further. I had to unplug again.

It's very strange as it's been fine for weeks after I got it and it's just started doing this the past week or so. I'm not sure what's changed.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, just thought someone might have some ideas.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] simonchunk:
*** VPN ***

The ExpressVPN app cant connect. I've tried it on the normal roms and there is no issue. Is there something I can fix in settings?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LAX_2_TLV:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] woodsy45:
Hi brooker88

I'm glad things are going well with your H96 Pro Plus. May I ask what you did to fix it please because this is really starting to niggle me now. As I stated in an earlier post I can live without the remote and wifi and I have a patch for Bluetooth but would really like to know what the problem was. This ROM is definitely a keeper for me, it's so responsive and stable and customizable... just great!

Thanks alot
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Yes, still looking into it, its not particularly the rom itself, its the device

Next version will be in .img format so it shouod solve alot of issues
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ico747:
Is 7.1.2 stock for 2/16 from first page for T95Z with 8830 WiFi chip?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
What problems exactly are you having with it?

If its performance and browser/apps been slow I haven't had any problems since changing few things.

I use a few tweaks from LSpeed, will post exactly what when I get home in few hours. Also changed the base clock speed slightly via kernel auditor so get slight performance boost.

Remote was fully working from the start

Home button kills apps by default, I downloaded button mapper and changed the button just to take back to home

Some other useful stuff is vanced YouTube app (allows you to play videos while playing games/browsing internet etc)

Adaway - adblocker

Xposed module:

minminguard: (blocks ads in apps)

Fakewifi reworked: i used this to make YouTube vanced think im using WiFi instead of wireless. For some reason ethernet plays YouTube videos at 720 by defaukt, with this app you can use it to play 4k at all times. (Don't need this if your using wireless)

Disabled the launcher via Titanium backup as I use an air mouse & apex launcher instead

Disabled nav bars as I also find that they decrease performance and are annoying when they sometimes pop up.

I would reccomend getting a air remote, you can clone up to 4 buttons from the normal remote and the power button (stock remote is crap)

Will post my LSpeed set up later, you should get a nice performance boost from it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] woodsy45:
Very much appreciated thank you. I don't suppose you remember the release date of the stock firmware you used as a base, I used latest version 20180409 but that needn't mean it's the best!

I must now flash some pins to get and image and some apps on my friends box which is hard bricked so will be offline for awhile.

Cheers and thanks again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
No idea mate, I can let you know when I get home though as I have the firmware saved on laptop
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kyoshihub:
Thank you cant wait for you to post the lspeed tweak

I also installed apex launcher and I am loving it, so I uninstalled nova launcher. Also installed the magisk and xposed framework and installed the mini adblocking tweak.

What other tweaks we should have?

I am still have no clue where my led app is gone, maybe someone can extract it and upload it as an apk for me?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] myotepf:
Good inspiration man. Perfect
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
LSpeed Tweaks, when you install it just skip everything.

When the icon is highlighted blue that means its enabled

Main tweaks:

boost schedular - 30 mins ( if you dont multitask just change to hour or longer)

Disable debug,kernel panic,kernel sleep - on

Flag tuner - off

Leave everything else as it is

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU Tuner:

Governor tuner - performance

Execution interval - 3 min (use whatever you like)

Cpu optimizer - on

--------------------------

LNET Optimizer: Use this if you use wireless

Net buffer - Big

Ril tweaks - on

Net tcp - on

Net speed+ on

Leave everything else alone (use google DNS is optional)

---------------------------------------------------------

IO Tweaks:

Schedular tuner - on

io boost - on

io que - on

partion remount - on

disable io stats - on

-------------------------------------------------------------

Ram manger:

Ram manager: Personally i use Gaming but multitask or balance may be ok

Everything else off

virtual management tweaks - performance (balance may be ok too)

Heap optomization - on

oom dump - on

Zram - on

----------------------

FS Trim:

fs trim - on

schedular - 60 mins Change to something else or just have it run on boot

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kernel auditor: This will probably decrease the lifespan of your device

Make sure apply on boot is on

Leave everything as it, click on cpu

Change Big frequencies - Minimum frequency to 250mhz

change little - minimum to 500mhz

-------------------------------------------------------

I think the led app only shows up in default browser as i couldn't find it either

Cant get the beelink gt1 ultimate remote to work at all but dont mind as i can easily flip a switch as its in my games room. The h96 pro on the other hand is really weird, i managed to get a remote that worked with 1 of my old s905 boxes to work (didnt notice i was using the wrong remote) The remote was also transmitting a signal to my LED lights under my desk as they kept turning on and off. I tried the h96 pro remote and that too worked, really strange..... anyways i managed to clone power button from the normal remote to my air remote and now everythings working fine after a big headache. Will have a few days rest and try to tackle the beelink at the weekend
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Most of the Lspeed tweaks are already implemented in init.d

We use deadline scheduler on boot

Fs trim on boot

Iotweaks

Net speed tweaks

Performane tuning etc etc

We choose not to overclock the CPU because the devices life span is small enough as is for anyone who has not applied heatsink

If anyone wants an overclocked full powered version i can make one
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mark-1978:
It doesn't work on mecool km8 p 1gb/8gb.

Farthest i came, was when i installed stock 6.0.1, and then the new 3.2 (build.prop says 3gb version). It gave me the bootlogo only. Maybe if i had the 2gb version and 7.1.1 it would boot. Just like that guy a couple posts back.

If i do 7.1.1 ota file from mk8 p, i get 7.1.1, but the recovery is gone. Putting recovery.img in root of sd card, gives me it wants to load the image, but then black screen. With stock 6.0.1. the recovery works just fine.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] muncheno:
Check out Ricky's Armlogic customization tool.

The instructions have been mentioned couples of times on how to extract recovery and flash the twrp.

It works for most of us here.

Try it out.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] inscriber:
You can't run poison over android 6.0 you must be at 7.1.2. My suggestion is to try different custom ROMs 7.1.2 for your device and install poison over modded version that work best for you. I have x92 box and and poison didn't work from my official rom either so I finally find that rom for t95z from first post on this tread working fairly good and then I install poison rom over it. Also your recovery image from 6.0 isn`t compatible with android 7 so you have to find TWRP for 7.1.2 or extract one from official rom using Ricky's Armlogic customization tool you can find it here https://xdaforums.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/opensource-amlogic-tools-t3786991
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I have came to the realisation on most devices you can flash any version, 2gb, 1gb, 3gb etc

bootloader detects it according to my research

Also a great way of checking for fake ram(Virtual RAM)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] brooker88:
I'd just stick with this, takes up enough time and resources as it is. If anyone wants to boost performance then they will probably know how to do so by themselves. If not i'm sure someone will explain how. Keep up the good work

I would like to know how to boost performance doing whatever you guys are talking about. Possible to give little outline so I can try? :)

Just run higher frequency for the cpu, app called kernel auditor. I posted guide on the previous page
