Flashed the ROM today , A short review : simple installation via the stock android recovery. Looking good so far, the UI is a bit laggy . Also the setup phase with the phone didnt work as it should , crashed a lot and I did a manually setup . The ROM is like a combination between AOSP and Android TV which i kinda like it. It came also pre rooted with super su. Netflix from the play store doesn't work, had to install it manually with an modded apk . Tbh i would suggest this ROM over the stock one . Thanks dev !!! Good job

..can't download latest version, file appears on sourceforge but instead of downloading the page gets redirected to the release folder.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Try it as a desktop site. Just downloaded it now
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
Thanks for your quick reply - unfortunately still no luck, also on my PC..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
..definitely something wrong with latest file on sourceforge, as the previous version is downloading without a problem.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
Would you mind uploading it to gdrive or so to share, please? thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Just tried to download it now and its working with my pc.. Try with a vpn and see if it downloads or not

Anyone has found a Netflix TV APK which works with this ROM? Sadly i found the normal mobile version of it and is way too hard to navigate.Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
..tried VPN with several different locations, but still no luck.

Concerning your question about Netflix: I know, navigation in the Netflix (phone-) app is a bit a pain in the neck.. Also the limitation to 720p..

Use Kodi app and install the Netflix addon. Works like a charm.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
If you need it i can upload it somewhere if you can't download it directly

As for netflix which addon should i use? Does it streams 1080p? The netflix mod i got can stream up to 1080 as far as i can tell...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
As far as I know it supports at least 1080p, but depending on the hardware as it uses SW decoding I think..

here is the link - sorry OP for off-topic:

https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/

EDIT:

Download is working now - thanks anyways!

I maybe noticed a bug: if I disable on-screen keyboard when physical keyboard is connected, the enter button stops working. I.e. when I type something in the search bar and press enter on the physical keyboard, nothing happens. Really strange.. I have to enable on-screen keyboard and navigate to the enter button and press enter to get it working..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
What version of Netflix do you use with this ROM? Could you please point me in the right direction? Mine (the official one) can only stream 720p..:-/ Thanks!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
..uhm, what version of the app are you using? because I use the latest (5.12.3) of them, and i got terrible resolution :-/
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Hmm strange, i don't remember the version will update it asap , the quality also is variable from your internet connection.

Any way to use the box as a chromecast? Where i can cast photos, videos from the phone natively (not miracast alike) ? Tried air cast just the ads are really annoying...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ChangeToTower:
The ESN number contains "L3", which renders the device unable to receive high definition streams of Netflix.

You might try AirScreen (also modded version available) on 4pda: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=965754

Don't suppose anyone can advise if multichannel 5.1 PCM (LPCM) works on this ROM?

My stock X96 AIR is only giving me 2.0 LPCM.

Please note this is not related to compressed formats such as Dolby Digital or DTS etc as i know bitstreaming those formats generally works fine.

Hi. I flashed this ROM on s905x3 box, now it doesn't boot anymore from the boot logo. USB Burning Tool does not recognize it. Tried using the Burn Card Maker with MicroSD, nothing happens. I don't get into the recovery because the button in the AV no longer works as it looks. :( Do you have any idea what I can do?

Make the short circuit and then plug the USB into port 3.0... Burning Tool should recognize the device and flashing can begin.

Hi, thanks Bullghost for this Rom. What is the installation process? I'm trying with USB Burning tool, but after I extract zip file, I'm getting 3 imgs (system, vendor and logo), I have tried al but always getting error "Parse image failed". Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] guides:
Also with SD Card, it says that cannot mount sd card...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] guides:
Anyone can help please?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Check the previous comments . You shouldn't flash with usb burning tool but directly from the android default recovery...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
I'm still having issues with Android Home Launcher even though I reflashed the ROM. Suddenly launcher becomes black after using the android box with other apps . When I wanna go back to the homescreen becomes black and the only solution is to restart the os. Tried clearing data and cache of the android home apps. Also tried to update it via play store but nothing works
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] guides:
I have seen all the comments, I have tried with Android Default Recovery but it shows an error that cannot mount sd card...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bubaloo:
Is this ROM for version 2GB/16GB or version 4GB/64GB? Because they are different.

Also, has anyone tried using VPN with this ROM? Because is seems to be a generalized issue between Android 9 and VPN that causes internet disconnection with ethernet. Maybe this ROM fix this?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
I have the 2GB/16GB variant and it's working fine . I guess it works on the 4gb/64gb too

VPN works haven't noticed any issues so far.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Put the flash file into the internal memory or on an external usb . I flashed it directly from usb

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Hugo-PT:
First of all, thanks to the bullghost for this ROM. I have an X96 Air 4/64 P3 and after starting to give problems (crash at startup and stuck at boot) I decided to try this ROM. It solved the problem and I already have the box working again. I haven't tested everything yet, but so far everything is working properly. The installation was done with the zip file directly on the recovery with a USB stick, TWRP is not necessary.

This custom rom is great. Keep up the good work bullghost!

By the way, is there a way to replace the google play store you include in the rom with the usual google play store? I ask this because I can't find various apps and I have to sideload them to my x96 air. Thanks in advance

Thanks Bullghost, this is a massive improvement over the stock rom that ships with this box!

Since I received my box yesterday, I couldn't for the life of me connect bluetooth peripherals to it. Even with the new rom and a factory reset - nada. I'm trying to connect a rii 8+ bt4.0 remote, which does display, but I get the same "couldn't pair" message every time. Does anybody got some advice? I have the 4/32 P3 variant FYI.

I confirm the Rii linked perfectly to my Windows laptop without a hitch.

Stuff I've tried that didn't work:

Connecting remote with usb to box while trying to connect.

Factory reset (stock and Bullghost roms).

Bluetooth app in setting wipe cache and data, followed by reboot.

Pray.

Swear.

Cry.

Hi mates, I've never updated a x96 air, I've read all and watched the YouTube video, I was thinking it was easy to flash from the recovery console, it says me there is a signature problem. I supposed to find some clear instructions but reading around it depends on many things, hardware version, etc. Can someone kindly write here all process? What things I need (sd card?) What software I need, etc. Thank you a lot!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Hello ,does it works now ? Im willing to buy a remote like that but need to be sure if it works or not with our android box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Check previous posts...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Barabba11:
I've installed it, to whom like me never did that before I can say:

I have a x96 air with 2GB of RAM and 16 of flash, I've read tons of infos around and nobody explained clearly which type it is or how to check it, I guess probably a P1, I've took my risk and I didn't have problems. The zip file is signed, means can be flashed form the original recovery console, you just need to press the button (carefully) inside the av port before power it up, and hold it for some seconds. You just need to be sure the zip file is full/intect, mine was not (unluckly I couldn't image the download was incomplete at 99,99%) so that's why I had a (wrongly called by recovery) "signature problem". I've flashed from USB but you can also from SD, after flashed I've wiped the data and the cache partition as suggested.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Barabba11:
I'm not happy with this release, I can't press search button under play store, as result I can't install a browser. From the very limited app suggested luckly I've found x-plore (!!) then I've tried then to download on the PC the latest Chrome apk, copy it on a usb flash and install on x96, it wrote it was sucesfully, but I can't see the Chrome icon on the app list, how this is possible?

How can I enable the search button and install the apps I need? Thank you!

I attach the picture, I click there with mouse and nothing happens, all i grayed off like games, my apps and settings.

The problem I've noticed in other app too, can't select another option in the menu

Thank you a lot for help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Barabba11:
is it normal to don't have settings icon? For example, how can I delete the cache of an app in case of problem?

In this release I can see only a "+" icon where I can add the apps?

In the beginning it asked me which launcher I want to use, maybe I choosed the wrong one?? gosh! ANd how can I use the other one now? Shoud I go to the recovery and delete again the cache?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Barabba11:
I've tried to install another launcher, but it still not see the app installed. I've installed some apk sucessfully, but I have no idea why I can't see their icons. Any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nasty_z:
I guess you can install app drawer from play store. It should display the apps.

Android TV is designed in such a way that sideloaded apps will not appear in the normal launcher. Not sure about third party launchers.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Barabba11:
For example on Play Store I can find Chrome, install and see it on android-settings.app, but in any way I can launch it. I've tried to create a link with tv app repo, no success. I've tried side loader app and similar ones, no icon anywhere.

Other hidden apps can be seen on sideloader or using another launcher.

I'm using as browser TV bro, seems better than firefox for android tv.

This ROM release have some issues with mouse click, as I told, for example on play store. I should use the remote to click the lens and search for an app.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PV3332:
Last upgrade is a big improvement. Got rid of all WiFi problems, and streaming works great for F1 scovery plus. Al lag from earlier releases is history. Remark to all that are looking for Chrome, it's not in the AndroidTV Playstore. That's not a problem of the ROM, it simply is not there. Instructions to sideload and use Chrome with the sideload Launcher can be found with a simple Google search of about 5 seconds. Search error rings no bell here, so guess you might have to flash again. I even got a play service update recently. So compliment to Bull ghost! Keep u the good work.
