Hi there!

Is there a possibility to change the default launcher or at least exchange one of the two launchers (Patchwall / Android TV) with a different one?

I would like to use the ATV Launcher as my default launcher. But after installing I was not asked if this should be my default launcher, neither could I find any setting for changing this.

So I decoded the ATVLauncher APK, changed the manifest XML to a higher priority, signed the APK and installed the newly created one. All this didn't work, still I had the "Patchwall" on the Mi button and the Android Launcher on the Home button.

Is there any possibility to change the default launcher or to re-map the Mi/Home button to a different app/launcher?

Edit: I managed to do it, I removed via adb this packages and now just the ATV Launcher is there (keep in mind before removing this packages to install a third party launcher):

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.mitv.tvhome.atv

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher.recommendations
[Android General] :
So what is you default launcher now? Have u tried kodi ?
[Android General] _tnt_:
1) Installed "ATV Launcher".

2) I used the "adb shell pm uninstall" command to uninstall the 4 mentioend packages.

3) After rebooting the TV when pressing "MI" nothing happened. When pressing "Home" the ATV Launcher opened.

4) After some time when pressing "MI" the "PatchWall" showed up again.

So I guess even wenn deleting the packages, the TV is installing the PatchWall back again.

So right now when pressing "MI" PatchWall schows up and when pressing "Home" the ATV Launcher. So looks like I manged to exchange the Adnroid Launcher with the ATV Launcher.

I got a MiTV "55 MSSP3, and since the last update every time I turn on HDR content it switches to a bad HDR picture mode, that I need to manually turn off to my settings.

Will installing MiTVUpgrade_6886plus.bin help? I see it's more updated and I guess it's already solved there, just want to be sure.

Thanks!
[Android General] coolek33:
Yeah. Got the same problem with HDR. I have Pl.4663 firmware. Is 6886 newer? Is it better? Where to get it and how to install it on mitv 4s?

Xiaomi Mi Tv 4S firmware

Hi,

I bought a Xiaomi Mi Tv 4S 32" from online sellers.

It often crashes and I want to delete some of the system apps as they are really unnecessary to me and they are majorly in Chinese (even though the settings are in English via an app).

Does anyone have the links/whereabouts to download the stock firmware? I wish to make changes to the firmware before flashing the rom. I am unable to make a back-up of the rom as it is not rooted and I am having difficuly to root it as well.

Thanks :) cheers

Hi! I am working on research for my university and basically, I need to install some CA certificates to make my proxy trusted (and be able to transparently sniff traffic). To do so I need root access to a specific folder to then install there the certificates. I have a Xiaomi Mi 4A Tv with Android 9. Does anyone know how I can root it?

By restart you mean randomly waking up from sleep?

I am having that issue with my Mi TV 4A

Already factory reset it and even without installing anything, it wakes up from sleep.. Any thoughts on this?

Maybe it's looking for updates? I switch my tv off by holding power button and choosing power off. Like a phone. Mostly for night.

Yes, that's a "workaround" that I find myself doing in the middle of the night sometimes, but it's annoying...

Hello,

I own a 55" 4S - MSSP3, build PI.4663. When TV is turned off, strange rattling sound is coming from the back of the TV. It 's hard to describe, as if the TV is processing something.

It's only happening when the screen is off, no matter if I turn it off by short-pressing power key or by long-pressing + power off option. When I turn on the TV the sound dissapears.

Is there anyone else experiencing this?

Hi guys,

I've got a Mi Tv 4S 55" from Russia, I live in Europe and I can't download some apps such as Netflix and Prime Video from the PlayStore....is there a way to change the region of the TV to an european country?

Now I selected Ukrain because it's the only available country that has the TV channels properly ordered for the country I live.

I'm wondering if there is a way to replace the asian rom version with the global one, if so, is it safe?

This seems like a very promising project. Any progress in rooting the device?

I bought the TV and didn t connect it to the internet for privacy concerns. It would be nice to debloat the firmware or just flash a different rom on it.
[Android General] M47Z:
No real progress beyond that sadly. But: command prompt I get in UART is actually working, for the short time it's there. When I enter "top" for example, it will show me the runnning processes. But have not found a way to even stop the boot process. Not sure how to go on with this. Root would be awesome, being able to flash custom roms would be even better. This device has treble support, so it's really just figuring out how to flash /system and get it to boot and there is a good chance it will work without further development. If we can pull this off without unlocking the bootloader it should even keep widevine L1 intact. Would be amazing.

I'll guess I will create a new thread just about collecting info on and hacking this specific device. This thread is about so many different models, I feel like any meaningfull process is just lost in the noise. I think I will definitely need help to get any further, really no idea how to go on atm.
[Android General] frostmoon69:
I'm really happy that someone is doing some tests to make this android tv "free". I am also following the famous Russian site (4pda) but I do not understand if the procedure indicated is compatible with the TV mentioned above (it would take a Russian friend). I seem to understand that they use tools and are able to root and put twrp.

References:

MiTV Custom Assist Ru ( Very interesting is the green key, which promises to be rooted)

Tools:

Xiaomi Fastboot Tools

In my opinion the road to follow is the Russian one. They have already rooted Xiaomi Mi Tv 4s (L43M5-5ASP).
[Android General] Rx99:
This is very interesting, although It seems like some chinese Mi TVs shipped with Android 6, mine has 9 installed. The software miTV custom seems to work with android 6.

But as you said, they have rooted the russian version with android TV 9:

I had also seen and translated those Russian posts, but I couldn't find any posts describing a method to root our TV. And anyway it is not said that the type Mi TV custom assist does not work with Android 9. Have you tried? Could it help to contact someone from the Russian forum (4pda)? There seems to be a veil of silence on this TV ....
[Android General] GlockXDA:
Hey Guys,

My 2 days old 4S TV is blinking whenever I open a video app (Youtube, Netflix), or in Chromecast's idle screen, or when I exit such apps.

video here:

I've tried factory reset, wipe cache and data partition, latest system update is installed.

Please help ;-(
[Android General] frostmoon69:
What you have told us is very little. Does the blinking only do it when you open the two apps you mentioned? While watching TV, does it work normally? The flashing is usually due to a power demand that is not satisfied by the power board. So it could be some power board capacitor not working as it should. But this is just a guess. Have you tried other video apps?
[Android General] GlockXDA:
Thank you for your reply.

When I watch TV it works fine. I have tried other video apps and it also blinking with those. I have the latest firmware PI.4663.

I'm suspecting it might be because of a slow internet connection via WiFi.
[Android General] frostmoon69:
Your doubt could be resolved immediately. It would be enough to connect a LAN cable to the port and check if the problem persists.
[Android General] frostmoon69:
The Russian method works on Xiaomi Mi Tv 4s 43 Inch, android 9.0 .

Just be patient and translate the Russian post (https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=810785&st=8140#entry83387595).

Also activate the UART option via HDMI and get a USB to TTL (I used CP2102) and follow the pinnature (https://xdaforums.com/attachments/hdmi-jpg.4617376/)

TWRP I used the number 3 of the guide and Magisk version 20, taken from the youtube video (

My MI 43 TV keeps on rewinding like the back button is pressed, i tried removing the battery on remote still this problem exists, wheneven i watch a video on amazon prime or you tube, the video starts rewinding to the start automatically. Anyone have solution for this problem. Service center guys tell to replace the board which costs like 6999. Any help is very much appreciated. TIA
[Android General] spocky12:
Maybe you can try installing button mapper and binding the rewinding button to do nothing.

Even if your remote control is not in cause, your os "thinks" it receives this button message. So disabling its function might work.

Hey everyone!

Almost a year ago a friend of mine was looking for a TV and asked me for some advice on what to get. In the end he bought a: Xiaomi XIAO Mi SMART 4S 43 TCS SMA UHD 108. (XM310002)

Now after some time there started to be some issues. The main 2 issues are:

- It says in plain white text: No audio or video. The thing is they both work and the message doesnt dissapear untill the tv is rebooted. (this problem was solved for a short time by factory resetting the tv but it came back after about 2 weeks)

- The other problem is that today, out of nowhere his entire channel list doesnt work anymore. (youtube etc works) The moment he switchen to channels the screen turns blue and than black, thats it. Fixed this by searching for new channels (though it sucks to rearrange the channels. He metioned this happend after he swapped back from netflix)

I believe the TV still has warranty so as a last resort the tv might be send back.

Some info which might be usefull:

Country is Holland/Netherlands.

The Channels are obtained trough cabel (coxialcable)

Build: PI.4663

Kernel: 4.9.118+ WED 2 sep 2020

If anyone has some advice on what to do and what not id really appreciate it!

Edit: also, is this the latest update? (because it seems there are no updates if i try to update)
[Android General] M47Z:
Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like there is a rooted firmware for the Mi TV 4S European Version (L43M5-5ASP/L55M5-5ASP/L65M5-5ASP, "machuca"). The nice people on 4pda did it!

[Android General] tirta.agung:
Hi there, I just bought MiTV 4 series Indonesian Version, and according to the model version and build number it is similar to the 4a Pro:

Model: MiTV-AXSO0;

and Build: PI.6036.

Currently I've managed to unlock the bootloader for flashing, and this is how I did it:

1. In order to follow all the steps below, you must a male to male usb connector like the picture below.

2. Go to developer option and turn on, first the USB debugging and then the MiTV ADB Debugging, and restart your tv if prompted so.

3. After being restarted, connect the male to male usb connector from the usb port on your TV (see pic below) to your computer.

4. Open ADB, and type "adb reboot fastboot", and it will reboot your TV into the MI logo. If the process works, your computer will recognise it in fastboot mode.

5. While in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flashing unlock", and your done. If you type "fastboot getvar all", you'll see that your device has been unlocked (see pic below)

Now, I need some help from someone here that haven't update their MiTV 4a Pro to the latest firmware, to capture the download link of the firmware with "adb logcat" method instructed from here. Or perhaps someone could give me the latest firmware for MiTV 4a Pro (PI.6036) so that we can have the boot or recovery image to be rooted using the magisk method.
