Hi guys, anyone knows, why chromecast is working on 7.1 android and not working on 9.0? Is it possible to make it working?

OK, forget my last question, please. I think, this is a guru forum (alterntive is not enough answer) - so why exists ROM (unfortunately I found only one), where chromecast built-in works and all other not? Every ported A9.0 ROM comes from MiBox, where chromecast working flawlessly... Netflix shouldn´t work and working (patched version). So I know surely, it´s possible (ATVexperience ROM) or nobody cares about screen mirroring on ported ROMs?

MiBox is on the list of chromecast licensed devices, other boxes with "ported" Xiaomi FW are not - there is more than just copying files.

I finally got around solving this. make a backup of init.amlogic.rc located in vendor/etc/init/hw BEFORE flashing wifi_rtl_all.zip then after using the patch replace the init.amlogic.rc with the backup and set permissions to 0644 and you will have functioning bluetooth and remote still glitches
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Wow, good determination. It'll eventually help someone else in the community. 😅

I suggest to make a TWRP back-up of your system or full back-up, in case some future system patch messes with your efforts.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xdausr123:
Also

i spoke too soon after a couple minutes sound drops in and out using volume controls will break audio completely i might try replacing files individually manually instead of patching and see what happens otherwise maybe i'll just buy a bluetooth remote if its stable without replacing init.amlogic.rc

Good morning, I have the tvbox X96max plus with amlogic s905x3 with the slimboxtv pie 15.1 custom rom, I have tried to install coreelec 9.2.8 on the sd by copying the file sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit and renaming it to dtb.img and putting it in the root, but it does not start.

My question is:

It does not start because I have changed the firmware of the tvbox?

is there any way to start coreelec with slimboxtv firmware?

Thank you very much

In case anyone of you is using Aurora Store instead of Google Playstore you will face the situation that not all Apps (e. g. Microsoft Teams) are being visible and installable via Aurora Store.

I have figured out that the removal of Google Apps with the patch in the link below has enabled the availability of all Apps in the Aurora Store.

Could not agree more, good job Reaper
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xdausr123:
I've edited the post as i've found that bluetooth functionality would break after sometime/rebooting and have included new zipped files that might also work for other roms.

After testing again i've found a combination that works after rebooting the only anomaly i've found is that after several hours of streaming the video/audio might freeze or video would freeze and audio would continue to play through bluetooth speaker. Sometimes restarting the stream would be suffice to get it working other times I would restart the device or turn on/off airplane mode as it seems something crashed. HW+ mode in mx player seems most stable as HW/SW modes on mx and vlc have exhibited this random rare freeze. have not yet experienced it with stube or while playing files locally. also only happened with bluetooth speakers but not headset (yet)

Anyway for my device I replaced:

libbt-vendor.so from libbt-vendor-rtk (realtek) in libbt-vendor-Patches.rar (vendor/lib)

and...

rtl8822cs_config/cs_fw from rtl8822cs.ce in rtl8822cs-collection.7z (vendor/firmware)

Other related settings enabled are:

enabled "volume regulator in app" located in the system bars section (slimboxtv settings)

enabled "disable absolute volume" located in developer options (slimbox settings-additionalsettings-system)

after many searches and tests i've

finally

found a working solution 🥳

flash the 2 attached files via twrp for fully functioning bluetooth on the Tanix TX5 Plus Deluxe Edition (using TX3 QZ ROM)

flash patch_for_RTL8822CS.zip first

flash rtl8822cs-update.zip second

nvm using 5G wifi will break bluetooth connection not sure if os or box related haven't tested via lan yet will update

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] andrea0807:

Great rom, my box is just like new with it!

Only have one issue: The remote is working but 2 buttons (Kodi) and (App) buttons are not working. Both opens settings and not actual apps.

I have Button Mapper and have tried remapping these keys but when I try to add the key it opens settings instead of adding key in Button Mapper app.

I have the old remote file from last rom vendor folder. Where do I paste this so the remote works fine?

I´ve tried on several versions and I can´t make the wifi to connect. My box is a T95Q and I don´t know which revision is to be applied. I´ve tried both (I Think )and the problem is the wifi. Any ideas? Is there a basic set of instructions for first time users?

Thanks in advance
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MuhammadZeeshan7:

you can try replacing the libbt-vendor.so file from the libbt-vendor-Patches.rar that i posted here https://xdaforums.com/t/project-slimbox.4152049/post-86670727 it depends on your wifi chip which vendor patch... you can use "device info hw app" to find out if you don't want to open the box... apart from libbt you can also replace the vendor/firmware & vendor\lib\modules... i've also read you can also trick slimbox into using the files you want by renaming them in place of others incase the wifi chip on the board itself and the one device info hw app state is in use are different but personally i haven't had success with my rom using that method (migrating files from oem stock rom to slimbox rom) also that replacing too many files might trigger system bootloop just remember when replacing files that they have proper permissions

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Flash your original factory firmware for x92. :)

It may make no difference..or may clear up any underlying issues.

(Try the Pie version, maybe there is a problem with 15.2 ATV)

Have you tried an older version of sbx..14.5 or 14.9.. to test?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lycanwrath:
I have done some research ({Mod edit: Link removed}) and it seems that the issue is that my X92 rev 2.1 TVBOX comes with the Samsung SMB 506 KMV2WOOOLM-B506 chip.

Since we use some of the same resources, you see that Sbx12 might work on your China Box..if you can find it.

Hello gentlemen, just making a point:

I have a box, T95z s912 old 2016.

I test all fw slimbox s912 with no problems with this method.

I extract the fw level 1 with vtx_kitchen_v5.1, delete bootloader.PARTITION, in image.cfg, delete the line file="bootloader.PARTITION" main_type="PARTITION" sub_type="bootloader", repack the fw. With USB Burning Tool I uncheck Erase Bootloader. At least for me it works.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
PIA VPN, has worked good for years on slimbox version 9, 10 and 14 ATV.

I just installed version 15.2 pie (clean install with erase flash) and the pia vpn app will not open the login screen.

Running X96MAX plus2.

So far everything else is working good only this VPN app is having issues.

Anyone running this version of slimbox 15.2 and pia vpn app 3.15.1, and have it working?

I have tried an older version pia app but it does the same thing.

I click on the login button in the VPN app, there is a long pause then it goes to the Android home screen.

I checked VPN settings under additional settings - network in slimbox it says none and pia is not listed, not sure if I have to have a successful login in the VPN app for it to show up there or just install the software.

After I flashed this box with the 15.2 pie version when I powered it up, it automatically makes the wireless connection to the internet. Then I entered the static IP address under network setup and once that was entered I disabled the Wi-Fi. Maybe somehow that's got it confused.

I think previously I always disabled the Wi-Fi before I set up the static IP not certain if that would have caused a problem.

Looking for any help on how to resolve this.

One last thing on all the other slim box firmware versions, I always enabled root access. On this pie version I thought I'd try it without root access maybe that is causing some problems. Do you need root access to run the VPN software?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Does the app work before modifiying network settings?

Try rooting, you can turn it off. Or flash clean Rom again

Did you reboot after installing?

Are you using any ad blocker.. from slimBox options or Third party?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
I haven't reset Network settings yet might try that.

I tried root the device, no change.

Yes I've rebooted the box a few times.

Thinking it might have something to do with my router, as it has an IP address for the wireless connection and then I set up the wired connection with static IP it might be getting confused at the router. My router reboots every night so I'll see tomorrow.

I'm not using any ad blocker but something that I ran earlier said there was adguard installed even though I didn't install it. Whether it comes default in this firmware I don't know. I don't see it anywhere I've only been using it for a day so I'll keep looking.

EDIT:

While after i rooted the box then looked at "Additional Functions" which requires root, under slimbox settings, i see there is an internet section, in it is "Blocking ads with Hosts" i removed that and still no change.

I turned on logging and this is what i got, see attahced
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lycanwrath:
Thanks for your help.

If I follow your steps, I still get blank screen but the box no longer gets bricked (no need to short pins to reflash)

If I follow your steps and also untick "erase flash" in UBT, I get up to the slimboxtv logo and it stays there.

I have flashed back to atvX92v3 ROM (Android 7.1.2 based) and remain open to suggestions :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
Well, never figured it out. It just would not bring up the login window in that app. If I click on terms of service it would bring up the web page and the login window would come up but I couldn't even log in there.

It's possible the keyboard was not typing the right letters because the password was not visible. Anyways

I loaded the 15.2 ATV firmware and the first app I installed was the VPN software and it works. Where before it was the last app I installed.

Just odd i liked that pie version , it's the first time I tried it. Since I don't actually use all those extra rows on the ATV screen I figured I might as well try the pie version. But back to ATV.

"The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

Reminds me of the times I've re-installed Windows on the same machine and the system was never 100% the same...uugh!!

(There is the experimental mouse option in settings that may be relevant to password input for PIA???)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
That was the last thing I tried that experimental mouse setting. On the new firmware the ATV version when I click on the login button on the PIA VPN software app, the screen scrolled to the left (animation) and brought up the login screen that never happened on the PIE firmware And I couldn't manually scroll it I tried. Possibly a screen orientation problem and I don't know.

I was getting complaints about the home screen not being locked, not in the VPN app but when poking around in settings trying to figure out what was wrong. And it would pop up a window saying go to settings and lock it and when I went there with link provided, it wouldn't let me set a password, I couldn't remember where to go to do it the normal way, I finally gave up.

But maybe that had something to do with the widget on the home screen in pie, as PIA tries to put a widget on a home screen it don't bother in ATV, but in pie it might try to do something different.
