Hi Aidan,

Thanks for this excellent custom rom great job, I flashed my box yesterday, I'm very happy with it so far it seams much more snappy than the atvXperience rom I was using previously, just a question will you be releasing a newer version of your custom Android tv os like 8.0 or maybe 9.0?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Thanks, 8.0 hopefully soonish but it will probably run on fewer devices and 9.0 once I learn the linux build environment so will probably be a long way off but it is in my to do list :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kulica:
Will it also work on a MXQ PRO+ with 2GB/16GB version. I am attaching all of the images of the motherboard (hope it helps you a bit). Or can I edit dtd files by myself. Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Cromatic:
No, unfortunately it the standard remote control of the box. i dont know either...

when i am typing quickly in the search bar of the google play store for an application, the box shutdown itself. i can repeat it...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] welcomelm:
Thanks for replying. Can you tell me how to get rid of apps from main UI without having to uninstall them?

Also, what is the latest KODI version that works with this firmware? Thanks again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, with leanback launcher you cant unfortunatley, tha app drawer wont show tv apps, it will show the mobile apps that leanback wont show (there is a tv app called TV app repo that allows you to create shortcuts for non tv apps)

and kodi 18 and 19 should work when its comes out
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
That is strange, and all the buttons function normally? (eg one is not mixed up as the power button) Maybe try flashing usint the "Erase all" in USB Burn tool

i would maybe suggest taking the remote.conf out of v6 but i think it was the same remote.conf so that whats confusing me i tried to recreate it on v7 but couldn't
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nicko450:
Works fine on mygica atv495x (is awesomely faster than stock rom, thank you), however the IR remote control and the power button are not working
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
You would need to extract remote.conf from either the stock firmware, or a twrp backup if you have either?

Help

Hello ithink is great custom Rom, I tried flash via USB burning tool in HG680-P which using Armlogic S950x, 2GB/8GB whit original fw 6.0.1 but unfortunately I got error on 7% with error message "[0x32030201] Uboot/Get result/DiskInitial error. Have u solution about this eror?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hi, it is probably an incompatible uboot ( could also be ram or nand type), if you have arom that works on your device i can attempt a port
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nicko450:
I did it and works (not all the buttons, but at least the most important). Thanks

Mini M8Spro (Mbox T95N)

Will this rom work on the Mini M8Spro?

Processor: S905X

model: MBOX T95N

2GB ram

8GB rom

Android 6.0.1

Thanks

Update: I opened the case and found the following hardware and markings.

T95X 2G V01 W9 06

20160721 ( date maybe)

S905X4_2G
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
It should work yhea (so many boxes and clones to say 100%) but it should work if you install please let us know :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] leapcad:
The Mini M8Spro install was very clean. The remote worked right away. The ROM is quick and smooth. Google play works. With the factory 6.0.1 ROM google play would lock up and terminate. I have outlined my notes below to aid others with this box.

1) I had to use Amlogic USB burning tool 2.2.0. The older rev’s would not find my box.

2) There was some confusion as to what model MB I have. The case had T95N but the MB inside has T95X_2G stamped and etched. Also the MB had S905X4_2G V01 etched next to the processor and on a sticker with a techs initials. But at boot time the CAT splash screen displayed S905X so that what I used as the CPU. The CPU on the MB was covered by a large heat sink and I did not want to remove it at this time.

SPECS

Processor is S905X

MB model : MBOX (P212)

Ram: 2GB

ROM: 8GB

Similar model: Mini M8S II

Hi,

great Image.

To fix magisk install problem just delete ".backup" folder in boot ramdisk (initrd.img).

Latest Magisk (v22) works. If you need Xposed framework try Riru with Dreamland.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Awesome :)

This is latest version? I have a95x f3 air.. s902x3.. 4gib ram, can i install??
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
This version won't work l, I have an s905x3 testing version available but is based on Android TV 9 (this one is android TV 7)

Hi!

I run Mag 410 S905x 2/8 gb with this rom which works very well but can not control the box with tv remote. TV is LG from 2015. CEC is on. When I run coreelec from tf card then TV remote controls the box. Is it possible to make support for LG simplink in your rom?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] von_klakier:
Hi @aidanmacgregor I have installed ROM and looks like it is working very nice, THANKS!!!!!!. One thing only, the remote doest work, I am using Android remote now. Is there any chance to make old remote working? I was trying to copy remote.conf from old ROM to /system/etc , but it looks like not working.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ravijot:
Super excited for the stable/final s905x3 version
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
LG simplink is just LGs name for HDMI CEC (i have toshiba and they call it Regza Link) but its all HDMI CEC Underneath, also strange that replacing the remote.conf file in my ATV7 should work, can you test hdmi CEC on another TV just out of curiosity, and also can try install termux, and run command "dmesg" and press a button on remote a few times (Original Box IR Remote NOT TV) then run command "dmesg" again there should be some new line in there about remote, thet will give some information, like if your box can see the remote, the IR sensor may be on diffrent GPIO pins with your board :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
see above post i may have combined your answers :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] huse68:
Thanks for your reply Aidan. What I really want to do is navigate through the menus in LG TV and Mag box only with my TV remote. I can do that with Coreelec. Tv recognizes the Mag box with Coreelec but not with your ATV ROM.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] von_klakier:
@aidanmacgregor i have tried dmesg and looks like, there are no messages from Remote, so no signals are coming in. Do you think such remote will work : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002062943834.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.eedc4c4d3EJISF

?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] von_klakier:
I would Like to also ask, if you have a solution for an updating box to last security version? I see my box S905X Aidans ATV, Version 7.1.2 , patch level 20.03.2019
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] godhek:
Many thanks to @aidanmacgregor for your great job sir. Burned using amlogic burn tool 3.1 via USB to TX3 pro 1g/8g without any problem and works great. Everything is quite snappy, except latest Youtube app crashes a few times when started playing a video so I installed S Youtube as replacement and now working well. The other issues is the top most recommendation bar is always empty, even though I've enabled all options. So it always display the cloud icon. Any ideas how the recommendation bar can work?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
only some apps suport reccomendarions, if supported apps are insnatlled try clearing the recommendation service data from setting, apps :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
just try all of them one by one trial and error :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tscii:
hello @aidanmacgregor

Thanks for reply.

today i try all the pins, one by one, with USB burning tool v3.1.0. & v2.2.0.

not success:(

"USB HUB not detected"
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
is your USB cable good? could be too long or thin or be a power only cable :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
there is no way for users to update the security patch
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tscii:
thanks for reply @aidanmacgregor

Finally i got solution, cable side no problem, cable is works well,

problem i never short well the NAND pin,

now i use good screw driver to short the pin, then works well Mask ROM Mode.

NAND Chip Mask ROM Mode Short Location:

FORESEE (NCEMASD9-08G)

(Amlogic s905x m9c pro = 1gbRam/8gb ROM)

if anyone "USB HUB not detected" in USB burning tool?

check below photo for my reference, works well.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] godhek:

Hi

with my vorke z6 plus

I installed [v7] Aidan's ROM [S912] [ATV 9] [LPDDR3] which has the latest android tv launcher etc... but some issues that I need help because

1 - It doesn't transfer the sound to headphone by bluetooth; indeed the rom find the headphone by bluetooth, it is associated and connected but no sound from my headset

2- the cursor of my remote or my remote is not fully compatible with the rom, how to fix the remote control or do I need to buy a new one and which one?

3- how to install Twrp recovery and root those atv rom because I need to patch display led in this atv rom

NB: this post and previous one are the same, I need a android tv rom for my vorke z6 plus which has led display patched, bluetooth and latest google play store, chrome and android home

Dear Aidan if you can add bluetooth fix for the lpddr3 versions and better compatibility for the remote especially the cursor i will appreciate a lot

thank
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
no way to switch launcher with official android tv :) can try installing an alternative and then using root to remove leanback launcher from system/app or system/priv-app
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
1- intrestin, i dont have an s912 device to test on,

2- any usb android remote should work, if you need the stanby button maybe ont that can learn from your current remotes power button, otherwise disable sleep and standby in hte screensaver settings and use any wireless usb remotre

3-TWRP can be booted from a zip file, you boot to recovery, hen choose update from udisk, choose the twrp zip and it will boot temporary twrp

what wifi/bt chip do you have?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AizenKnower:
Forget 2 and 3 , a usb mouse fixed the issue

About wifi bt I think is wifi ap6335A for wifi (bt i don't know)

Is it helpful?

Is there a version for tegra chip like tf300t? And for s905 like leelbox s1?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jimjack12:
Thanks for the great work.

I have a question: These 3 roms are with twrp installed and pree-rooted? If so it could be a problem for me, as I use AlexElec from sd card and apparently twrp does not allow booting from sd.

My device is Mxq s905x 1 / 8gb (I think it's a clone); the box is all black and with only the writing "MXQ" on the top.

Thanks so much

edit: I tried to flash the 3 roms, but you can't install any of the three roms, it returns an error at 4%. I also tried the alternate version (post # 355), but to no avail. Also now android 6 stock does not start anymore, the "s905x" logo remains fixed. Fortunately I can start the AlexElec 3.3.1 version via sd

Tomorrow I will post some pictures of the mainboard, maybe someone can give me some advice. Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jimjack12:
The prerogative to install on CoreElec 19.1 sd with 4.19 matrix kernel is to have android 7. On my android box mxq 1/8 gb s905x I was unable to start it. Instead LibreElec version 10 kodi 19.1 kernel 5.x nightly, strangely it starts perfectly; the only problem is the wifi which is not recognized, but the lan works.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hmm im not sure maybe try s905w, somone else had sucsess with s905w chip and installing s905w rom, must be the board layout, worth a go :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AizenKnower:
You haven't reply about bluetooth issue.

The bluetooth is said connected but no sounds on headset

Can you fix it or a patch ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
are you on android 9 or 7?

twrp can be booted from sd card, i dont have any patches, and most of the other patches availible are for android 7 and older, it may be possible to fix with diffrent bluetooth libraries

Hi,

I installed this image on a TX5 Pro (S905X).

It works fine but I can't install Magisk v23.0.

The installation itself (through TWRP) seems to work, but at reboot my box gets stucked at boot logo ("androidtv Aidans's Custom Rom Version 7.4 by Aidan Mcgregor").

I had to reflash the image to get it working again.

After reflashing and checking that my box booted, I started TWRP and using File Manager I found a ".backup" folder in /.

Inside this folder I found two files: ".magisk" and "init".

I deleted this folder and installed Magisk-23.0.zip again, but after this still my box hangs at boot logo

Any suggestion?

Thank you!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jimjack12:
Thank you very much aidanmacgregor for your availability. I tried to flash your s905w rom, but it didn't work ....

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] CrimsonRid:
I've been using your Rom on multiple devices for quite a bit. It works great. However, I can't get passthrough sound to work. I thought it was my hardware, but I tried another ROM recently, the Slimbox one and that ROM does allow for S/PDIF passthrough, so it's not the hardware that is the issue I think.

I have an A95x F3 Air.

I installed the firmware ATV-Slimbox 11_6 version. Audio passthrough then works in Plex but not in Jellyfin.

I then installed the 2. [v7.1] Aidan's ROM [S905X3] (A95X F3) FB-Zeyn Elenson ROM, passthrough doesn't work at all, not in Plex, not in Jellyfin. In Plex it refuses to playback at all if the passthrough audio is activated.

Is there something that can be done to troubleshoot this? Can I assist in any way?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
probably, but im unsure what, im learning as i go, dont really know what im doing, just been reverse enginering android TV for the last yeay & half and figuring out as i go along, if you find any useful info send it my way, may help in the future :)

out of curiosity, use rickys tool, unpack to level 1 (will fail level 2 or 3), and copy my logo.partition & system.partition, and then replace mine for the one your rom & repack

A. Replace logo.partition and system.partition in your rom with the ones from SlimBox?

or

B. Replace logo.partition and system.partition in Slimbox with the ones from yours?

Is there another method to install patches? I have tried numerous times to try to boot my (S912 / X92) android box into TWRP recovery but no luck. I'm trying to install the bluetooth patch to see if it fixes my audio not being sent to my bluetooth earphones. Everything connects fine but no audio is coming from my earphones. I've try multiple combinations of different SD cards / USB flash drives but no luck. The method I'm using is holding down reset button then power unit but it always boots into android TV not TWRP.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @aidanmacgregor,

First of all I want to thank you for this great ROM. I have a X96 Max and I have been having issues with it until I find it, now it works like a charm.

I wanted to ask you about the HBO Max app, I know you have discussed a little bit about it but I haven't been able to find a solution to the sound problem I have. The app sound works fine, as I can listen when I change selections, but when I try to play content it doesn't make any sound. According to forums it can be related with the Dolby 5.1 option, but I haven't been able to solve it with the posted workarounds.

I am not sure, but the problem can be similar to the one with the Disney+ app. How were you able to solve it?

Thanks!

Does any one have a copy of version v4 of this ROM [v7] Aidan's ROM [S912] [ATV9] [DDR3 and DDR4] [LAN1000]? My external 1TB drive was working great formatted as NTFS.
