I want to use it as an android box.But i dont have dish.But i can access Netflix,Youtube and Amazon using the Airtel smart remote app on my phone.How do i bypass entry point? because i get stuck there every time because i need a dish to proceed from there.so my question is that can i use this as an android box without the use of an dish?

1. I try to download movies in LAN folder (HDD to wifi router), and try to play them (access thru es file explorer and open with mxplayer) on Airtel Stb --- lags a lot (except for some rare movies of same format/encoding that play very well with no lag)

2. I try to copy above mentioned movies into download folder (from LAN) of STB and try to play ---- same lagging

3. Recently I tried to play with BSplayer (in settings - drop frames) which is better - but not butter smooth

4. Popcorn-time also lags a lot

while youtube,netflix and some rare movies in LAN can play HD with no issues?

some one do something about this!!!!!

Hi.. can anyone confirm the list of apps to uninstalled to avoid the AITV002 subscription validation check on Airtel internet settop box pls. Even to use the casting features we have to keep paying Airtel monthly charges and keep connection active, which is really bad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ravi Venugopal:
It seems airtel has removed the subscription check... i can use all apps without subscription check.... without any modification ... just factory reset ...updated the system completely and its working ..... apart from this ..managed to install airtel xtream apk and use it for live TV
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avihbti:
So, you don't have an active Airtel DTH subscription and still the Set Top Box works without subscription check. Right?

Do you see any improvement after update?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ravi Venugopal:
bro...4k video has some issues with the box , sometimes only audio and the software generated visuals come..like volume indicator, setting etc and but no 4k video...so just came down to 1080p ..works fine...i use as usual for prime, netflix, hotstar and vlc for playing movies...used explorer to delete subscription.apk as previously mentioned in one of the post earlier, that too worked...but iperformed a factory reset and it isnt required now...

hope this info helps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avihbti:
Thanks for replying. I just wanted to know if it is worth installing the new Airtel Internet TV update. I don't use Airtel DTH service, all I am interested in is the Android TV capability.

I have an old internet tv box that I don't use because of the monthly recharge

I also shifted from my old place and I don't use dth anymore

Now I performed a factory reset on the box. While I was setting it up, I had to chose an entry point, and there's no dish setup in my new place. Is there anything I can do

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raikuttan:
Hi Ravi, thank you for the suggestion. I did a factory reset and its now on latest build version 06.02.73 and model number of my settop box is SH960S-AT . I see that the balance gets deducted even after the reset. So once my balance gets to 0, wouldn't it again do a subscription check?! I am confused here.. need your detailed input.

Thankyou

Hi. I think i forgot to mention that i have the box suspended by airtel as i have 2 connections. One for DTH, which is working and has balance, the other is for just casting and streaming...which is suspended...never asked me for balance

Dear all, I read the entire thread and learnt that some of you were able to break into this box, can someone please send the steps so that less technical persons like myself also benefit from your experience please, thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] @xDeepS:
I just got the Airtel Xstream box, the model is 'Xstream_Smart_Box_001', Android v9, Patch Level 5th Sept 19, Kernel: 4.9.159-1-6pre, Release: hsw4026atl-1.0.9-19110817, build: ptt1.190228.001.1.0.9-19110817.

I got it a few hours ago and it wasn't even activated at that time.

1.) You need to enable developer options, enable usb debugging.
2.) Then get adblink, connect to device IP. (You'll have to authorize on box first attempt)
3.) Click 'Uninstall APKs'-> Search "airtel", I saw 3 files.
4.) DO NOT UNINSTALL FROM GUI.
5.) Click ADB Shell
6.) delete the com.airtel.tv last.
7.) This command to delete: pm uninstall -k --user 0 'App Name'
.

I installed an ATV Launcher, before deleting airtel packages. Install from GUI.

Remote still works, not all buttons work. Airtel Remote Smart app for phone works, the pointer still works. I've managed to install JioTV and have gotten it semi working. :)

All of this was done while the 'please recharge' prompt was on screen. Its easy to bypass, you have to get into settings to enable developer options. I did get stuck once, I used to mic on remote and asked it to open play store. If you get stuck, use the google assistant to get out of a screen.

This is what the box looks like:

Once free of airtel, can this box (SH960S-AT) be upgraded to Android TV 9? If yes, can you pass link to steps for it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seniornoob58432:
I've had it for almost 2 years now, not a update in 1. 1/2 years, it's abandoned in favour of xstream, To get it to pie, You need the drivers to build android for it. Almost no1 has it so no1 is ready to write extraction scripts for it, and even if we made one we'll need it to be rooted. For which we need to exploit it as there is no usb adb.

So I am looking for the expert android devs, who have this box and are ready to help!

pls remember I have build android once or twice, but still knowladgeable in it's roots :)

Followed this before and it was working fine before. Recently done reset to the setup box and stuck on signal lock screen. So, used pm uninstall to remove something related to signal lock and getting this error now while going to signal lock step during device setup.

Tried holding power button while booting and it starts with message erasing and end with message error as below

Would like some steps to get to device ui please.

I have enabled usb debugging and it helps accessing device via adb but using adb reboot recovery is not taking to recovery but goes to same screen with error as shown in above image. Adb reboot bootloader takes to blank screen with all 3 LED Amber (Orange)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harpy.eagle:
In wholesale market remote would cost max 200 bucks. You are talking about xatream box remote right? It's Bluetooth remote can be bought in wholesale market. If itnt nearby, u can skip the screen for timebeing by using remote barrowed from friend or neighbours if that's one option.

Hello Guys,

I figured out to make my notifications background black, but I am no developer and would like to ask for your help.

There must be a way to change/edit the text color within the "theme.xml" of com.android.systemui in the theme.

As you can see the text color is still black, on black ground (green box)

In addition I wonder what .xml or .png file this white thing is in com.android.systemui, can you tell me? (yellow box)

Last thing, the action buttons text, is there also a way to change it? (blue box)

Thank you for your support :good:

notification_icon_background.xml

notification_material_bg.xml

notification_material_bg_dim.xml

notification_expand_more.xml

and

actions_container_background.xml

actions_container_background_bottom_right_angle.xml

Change the filetype by renaming into png instead of xml.

Modify the png

Not possible in emui themes cause theme.xml dnt support some directory the text you need (i mean in an apk) is located in systemui/res/values/styles and in framework-res in values/style again .unfortunately the emui theme manager dnt support this directory then darck background is easy but light text is impossible.....so no.

The only way for non root users is Andromeda app from playstore (substratum)

Hmm. I read something like that already before but your explanation was much better. But impossible is a hard word. Isn't there any other way to add the directory and Support to the theme?
