Or make your own male to male USB cable. Grab a couple of spare USB cables, cut the ends that you don't need off. Then strip the outer sheathing off to expose the internal colored wires. Strip the wires with a knife then twist the wires from each cable together, black to black... white to white, etc........ Tape then with whatever tape you have available.......

I have a couple of store purchased cables, but most of the time I use my home made cable....... works great.

Hello,

I have a cross-platform application that always goes in tablet interface mode when I would like it to be in Android TV interface.

How to force the application to take the Android tv interface.

Thanks for the help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
While I get your will to help, I would highly advise NOT to make a cable without making proper connections. It obviously depends on how comfortable you feel with it, as well as on your experience...But I would call it risky.

If a wire comes lose you might just kill the box beyond repair.

I'm not saying to not do it, or that it doesn't work, it's just that you should take every precaution like; after twisting the wires also hold the cables together with tape so a random pull can't rip them apart. Or tape it to a table.

Also try to make it short, on my first attempt I made one about 1m long and it wouldn't detect the box. (Could also be related to my USB ports power, didn't test it further)

I just got a few new X96 Max Plus2 (4/64) boxes, Will this Slimbox v9 firmware work with this box?

It's the S905X3 chip and A55 CPU.

I looked in the list and the X96 Max Plus was listed with the S905X3 but it did not say this version X96 Max Plus2

This box came loaded with firmware X96Max_Plus2_20200818-2014

Here are a few screenshots

Have a nice day!

My box is Gt king 6B9X, I have a question. The latest Minislimtv is soo good, completely satisfied with it, but the box remains warm when turned off and in sleep mode and the yes light up red. It probably doesn't turn off completely... I don't like that... o_O

- can you recommend a solution for heating and lighting?

- or I want another similar fast ATV ROM (I don't like air mouse), speed is important and it shouldn't be full of programs and services. Can you recommend it?

Sorry for my english, google translate... ;)

Slimboxtv is based on amlogic CPU,s

Allwinner is entirely different chipset/CPU

As is Rockchip

So there is no slimboxtv for those China Boxes

To the best of my knowledge (which is limited)

Not "on boot" but after boot, you can use "SmartPack-Kernel Manager" or with termux

I can confirm its working with this "Magcubic" 4GB 64GB S902W2

(Clone of X98plus?)

I flashed (after a long journy...:-O ) the S905W2 slimboxtv-image for Tanix W2 on it. Front-Display is not working, remote control seems to be buggy (but i use the RF keyboard), but its much better than the original version (no streaming worked)!

The "only" big problem i have is that the device has 4GB of RAM, but after flashing this (only S905W2?) image, it shows that i have only 2GB RAM left. ;-)

Any way i can fix this?

I'm a newie, I've flashed android rom several years ago.

Recently I signed on Netflix but can't play more than SD quality. I search that this rom makes the android stick as certified for HD.

I have a X96 Max Plus 4GB.

Acording what I have been reading, I prefer slimbox ROM over Aidan ROM, but there are anywhere a step by step manual for make the rom flash? (I've not found any in english -or spanish-).

Thanks!!

You can easily find a video on YouTube on how to install firmware with usb burning tool
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I always flash this way - some may do slightly different but this always works for me

Get a Dual ended USB cable. Plug one end in one of your PC USB slots

Download and extract correct img. file for your box - important as X96 max plus has many versions

Install Amlogic burning tool 3.2 on PC - start it

Load img.file

Hit start

On box insert toothpick in AV slot till reset button clicks and hold down

Insert USB cable end into one of the USB slots on box (which slot depends on box) - release toothpick

Should connect and start to flash - if not repeat actions eg remove USB - Toothpick hold down insert USB (maybe try different slot ) until it does
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ekkaia:
Many many thanks!

I'm about to get a dual ended USB for make the process.

Some questions:

- I confirmed with "Device Info HW" that my X96 is "Plus2 M" (with the RTL8211F 1000Mb & 4Gb). But in the slimboxtv web there are two files: "atv" and "aosp". There are no info or explanation of what file may I download.

I think that is the launcher? atv is Android TV and aosp is a normal android launcher? Despite the visual launcher there are more differences?

- Anyone knows if this rom will give me the correct widevine for play at least 1080p on netflix app?

Thanks!!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mafian021:
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anywhere what is the difference between rom slimbox, minislim and ugslim. Could someone please explain this to me or direct me to the explanation pages? Thank you

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ekkaia:
Ok, didn't realize that each one refers to android tv or android aosp. I'm reading about.

The last question (I'm flashing new rom because of this...) slimbox can play Netflix on hd?

If this doesn't work, does not make sense for me flashing new rom.

Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
No idea about Netflix. I only use box for IPTv but the benifits of the rom against stock android 11 are considerable. alternative have a look at MovieHD 5.1.3 apk. Browse for it -free and very good. lots of content
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ekkaia:
Just flashed, for now, without wipe (all my previous apps are installed).

Is run much more faster!!!

It's recommended to make the data wipe?

Netflix still in SD mode :(

I dled the last apk, but how people uses Netflix with S905X3?

Edit: I'm trying to do with this Magisk trick, but for the moment, no luck:

Edit 2: Seems that iI don't know how to install Magisk correctly (and detect "the root" with it and not with the built-in rom root).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
If you werent on slimbox before you need do a clean install with bootloader and flash both ticked. Also recommended for each rom release update . On aosp SuperSu root not magisk is the option available to be installed in slimbox settings.

Magisk is pre installed on the slimbox firmware for X4 android 11 supported boxes.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ekkaia:
I made with SD card (Burn Card Maker) and seems that you may do manually in the android Options (factory reset).

Or maybe in the option "erase_flash" I may check "erase in total" or something?

My model is S905X3, so I have no clue on how install Magisk... but I don't know if the method I posted in the video works in every machine...

The method included in the slimbox version I installed is "direct" or "super su" - and seems that conflicts with Magisk, so I don't know if the patch works - I could "apply", and appears as applyed, but nothing in Widevine is changed.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I have never done an SD flash using slimbox but if I did I would be selecting erase in total I think if your on a different rom. If you did a clean flash you wouldnt have had your apps. Sure someoine else on forum can advise. Me I stick to using PC dual USB cable. Works every time. Give app I suggested a try - its a good free option. I also install Adaway apk - kills any ads on apps- select root mode on install options.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Leaving Burn Card Maker at default settings (normal in erase) is enough, if you want to preserve you apps then uncheck erase flash option, as you said USB Burning Tool and cable is recommended way to flash..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ekkaia:
Yes, I marked, but seems that "erase in normal" no wipe your data. I will try with "erase in total".

Oh... SD card way is a very very comfortable way (just SD and reboot with special button) and I'm not pretty sure if I have a dual USB cable atm.

Anyway I will test again with SD, erase in total and the ATV version of slimbox. Maybe some streaming platform apps runs better than mobile ones (I will wipe anyway, so I will test).

I tried MovieHD and is nice, but the catalog is in english... I prefer Stremio for english/original version + subtitles (works with torrent and the app runs very nice). Netflix in my case offers all languages.

It's very frustrating that I could play 4K movies without problem in X96 and Netflix or Amazon say me that "they can't certificate" this device for play more than 540p... Neither 720p!!? Obv is a way to force to buy his HDMI stick (and Google one).

Seems that some roms (on smartphones) are modifying the winedive level for users... hope this could be done and added to Slimbox family.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mAtvXk:
Always use the “Normal Erase” configuration option – unless you really know what you’re doing. If you choose to erase the MAC address, you could end up doing more harm than good.

Hello everybody,

I have an android box A95X F3 Air Amlogic S905x3 4GB/64GB Android 9.0.

I installed the ROM https://slimboxtv.ru/a95x-f3-air-slim/ and everything worked correctly. The ROM is amazing. The box became much faster and fluid.

I just have one problem. I installed this ROM to be able to use the MEO app (which is on the playstore).

When I try to run the app I get the error:

"Android TV device not certified. To use the MEO application you must use a device certified for Android TV. Look for this symbol to confirm certification -> Powered By androidtv"

Does anyone know a way to overcome this problem and be able to use the MEO app?

I have a "Xiaomi MI BOX S Android TV" and the MEO app works great.

Thanks in advance

Phones are sold in an larger quantities and are more spread than TV boxes, i.e. greater possibilities of (unofficial) support.

The S905W is a relatively old chipset and underpowered, compared to the newer S905X2 (G12) and S905Y2 (SM1) SoC's, i dont expect any more support in the future.
