Can someone help?

I used this ROM for long.

Then I tried to flash something else, but I didn't like it.

So I returned to this ROM.

(I have HK1 S905X3 4/128)

Boots ok, I get Internet fine, I login my Google account OK, I open Google Play (it connects OK I can find apps etc.), BUT it doesn't download anything! Or update anything!

One app remains "downloading" (without downloading anything) and the others pending.

It doesn't even time out! It remains like that for hours!!!

I tried deleting cache etc. I tried RE-installing the ROM (I use SD card method)... Same thing!

Any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] NLS:
Since nobody will probably reply, I'll reply to myself.

You need newer Google Play and since it won't update itself, you need the APK. Then everything works.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Since I was at the Greek sea (as maybe you?) I couldn't tell you the solution (I didn't have the passcode for XDA with me !!)

Can we output dolby vision using this ROM?

Currently I'm using coreelec with my H96 max x3, but it doesn't work with dolby vision.

If anyone is using this rom to watch dolby vision movies, maybe you could recommend what software to use? (kodi?)

Also, the "sd card" method is for installing the rom to the internal memory of the android box (and overwriting the current rom on the android box)? Not for booting the rom from the sd card, while leaving the current rom on the android box intact, right?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Yes only for installing the firmware to internal memory. There is no way to ran android from the sd card.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mnd123:
ok, thanks, and do you know about dolby vision? But I guess H96 max x3 doesn't support it on hardware level
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Please try the following:

Find the file "build.prop" in "root/vendor/build.prop".

Open it with a File Explorer (i.e. ES File Explorer which is preinstalled in my rom) and look for the following line:

ro.vendor.platform.support.dolbyvision=false

Change it to "true"

If it does not exist just add it. Reboot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mnd123:
Ok, thank you. Not sure when I'll find the time and determination to actually install the ROM and try this :)

If you currently use the ROM, and have a TV that supports dolby vision, maybe you would be willing to test this?

@ath156

I've tried numerous times to download the custom rom on page 1, however I get the same error message when I use WinRAR to try to extract the .rar files, "C:\...\u219_HK1_H96maxX3_Ath156Mod3_ENG_BarsEnable_19082020.rar The archive is either in unknown format or damaged". Can you verify if the file is operating as it should? Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Obviously either you have an old version of Winrar or you didn't fully downloade the rom !

So first try to update the version you have of winrar :https://www.win-rar.com

or if you still have problems Re-download the rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kanobi881:
As a newbie, this wasn't very obvious to me. I extracted the files using 7-zip and it extracted normally. Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for your elaborate Investigation into the G10 issues.

I was able to fix both issues now.

- I connected the G10 dongle to a non-powered 4-port USB HUB on the regular USB port from the box and when I powered up the box with the original IR remote the G10 worked fine. :victory:

- I learned the power-off/on IR code from the original IR remote into the G10 and now I can power-up the box as well :victory: :victory: :victory:

As navigation bar I stronly advise you to use TASKBAR. First of all please give all the permissions asked by this app. Then in settings please do:

- “General Settings” (check boxes) -Collapse Taskbar when selecting items - Automatically collapse Taskbar- Laucnh on boot

- “Appearance” - Hide button while Taskbar is collapsed - Show shortcut icon for pinned apps - Visual feedback when selecting icons

- “Advanced features” - Enable widget support -Allow third-party app integration

- "Advanced features"- Navigation bar buttons ( you choose all 3 buttons)

If you select these options

the TASKBAR will be hidden completely

. To make it appear you just click at the left bottom of the screen

(without actually seing anything) !!!

Of course you can make other choices (to be hidden automatically and then appear etc) but I think the ones I suggest above are the optimum.

You will also find that this application its not only a navigation bar but also a status bar and even a launcher.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Yes you are absolutely right. It seems that Google has made some changes in the past 3+ days.

Those that have already installed the rom should have no problem at all, but those who will use it for the 1st time seems that they have to do some changes.

This must be also the reason that Magisk Manager in 3 days had already 3 updates (8.0.0 8.0.1 and 8.0.2).

So there must be some actions to pass Safety Net. I will be back with instructions. In the meantime maybe you can "sideload" the latest Google Play app. https://apkpure.com/google-play-store/com.android.vending

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
As I say at the 1st post I strongly recomend you to install the rom with USB Burning Tool and a cable USB-A/USB-A.

Many people though prefer to install it with an sd card, so I link here instructions for this method (Since I have to use this method for some years, I am not sure about point 6) and the program Burn Card Maker.

Sorry for the noob question, but i wanted to ask for confirmation before making some disaster

Can i install this rom on "Bqeel Android 9.0 TV Box Y8 PRO Amlogic S905X3 64 bit, 4G RAM+32G ROM" ?

Thanks

Marco
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
This rom is completely

compatible with Bqeel Y8 Max S905X3

.

If you can use the firmware of Y8 Max S905X3 to your box (Y8 Pro S905X3) than you can try also this rom.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If you have a problem because you cannot access a "service" as it says that you are rooted, you can safely remove directory magisk from /system/priv-app (using rootexplorer which is preinstalled).

Solution?

ath156.............is this the proposed solution to the problem reffered to the posts 26 and 27?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
No. No. Sorry. It is not for this. To fix any problem you may have with Play Store like not updating or downloading for ever:confused:, just install a recent version of it (download it from apkpure or other site, or use the link I gave at post #27);)

Post #34 is only for those who want to use certain/special services like Disney+ etc.

hello I would like to know if it is possible to install this rom on a TV box already rooted using an SD card and twrp quite simply thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
What box do you have? I suppose that you have one from the title of the Topic.

If Yes, than of course you can install it through an sd card, but I always prefer to install it with a USB-A/USB-A cable. If you don't have such a cable, you can easily make one yourself (DIY) by using some spare cables you may have around (from old smartphones etc.). You cut 2 such cables, keep from each one only the USB-A part of it and then connect the 4 smaller cables, color to color (insulate each with electrical tape). Such a cable is also always wise to have, because it will help you to unbrick your box, if you ever brick it.

As far as TWRP is concerned, my custom rom installs anyway a permanent TWRP.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] peri133:
I've done it and everything worked ok. Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
I don't know if this is already known, but I probably found another way to fix the Play Store problem (not updating, not downloading apks etc).

Go to "Play Store - (TopMenuLeft)- Settings". In Settings scroll down until you find the version number you have. Click upon it 6-7 or more times continously. In a few minutes it will upgrade to latest version automatically. My current version at H96 max X3 is 22.4.28-21 (but I don't remember if I had it updated before using apkpure), while in my smartphone (updated the same way) 22.4.25-21.

Please try and report. Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If somebody wants, he can try this rom to other S905X3 boxes (i.e. Tanix tx5 plus etc) doing the following:

1. Backup your partitions using a temporary TWRP

2. Install this custom rom and if you have some problems (let's say with wifi, remote control etc) just Restore your backed up VENDOR partition with TWRP (which is permanent in my rom)

Of course whatever you do you are doing it at your own risk.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Following my previous post and if you own a Tanix TX5 plus S905X3 you can have a look at https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv...android-9-stock-firmware-img/page2#post816386

It seems that at least for some versions of it you can use this rom without any change !!

If you have a box with encrypted firmware (like this:franklin-userdeburg 9 PPR1.180610.011.20200311 / PPR1.180610.011.20200425) than NO you cannot. You have to use another method.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
I have made a new version especially (and ONLY) for those that may have a new H96 max X3 with Blue Board and

wifi chip IT6334

Since most of these boxes seem to be sold to Russia, this rom starts by default in Russian, but you can easily change the language in Settings.

You can fully backup your current state with a Temporary TWRP, try my rom and if you want go back to your previous state using again TWRP.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 19KrazyJay75:
:good:

Thanks for the ROM, I just installed it today and I'm loving it so far.

I used the sd card method and it worked fine. A couple things though. First the instructions don't mention the language tab in the top left corner to change to English. And second is about step 6, I used the default settings( all boxes checked ) and it worked on the first try.

I installed this on my HK1 s905x3 box and it's way better than the stock ROM.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Thank you for your feedback.:) Taking into account your remarks here are the corrected instructions to install the rom with an SD card :

If you want to install the firmware with an

sd card

please do the following:

A.* Download the program Burn Card Maker v2.0.3 from here :**https://mega.nz/file/B0MlFSaC#0AMqAqv4BO76mgO7zIzdRQ6YV7zetE4S21MHCNk84XY

B. Follow the guide from here (please take into account also the following notes) : https://mega.nz/file/x190FLLJ#adVfA5kyka4oK2K2TGejzGM5muNBl8jGq0pxAF5KcR4

* * *Note1: To change the language in English use the Tab at the top left corner.

* * *Note2: At step (6) use the default settings (all boxes checked)

You must find a PC/laptop (from a friend of yours etc), use the Burn Card Maker method, prepare there an SD card and use this sd card to install the custom firmware to your box.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Yes that's what I mean. I think that in today's era everybody is able to get/use at least some kind of PC/laptop and prepare an sd card;)

But although you found a solution I got your request as a challenge. So "challenge accepted":)

Here is the way to make an sd card (you or whoever wants) WITHOUT a PC !!!!!

thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Yes this is a usual problem when you use the same rom in different boxes. Did you use the rom as it is or did you change anything?

For example did you cange the Vendor partition with the original/stock rom of your box?

Do you have any other problem (i.e. your wifi or bt or remote control etc?)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lginfo:
I haven't changed anything I flash with your Rom. The wifi works well. And the bluetooth too
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If everything else works fine I think it's better not to touch it. It is just a minor problem. It would be easier to fix if it was your remote control or something like this.

But if you still want to try we may have to find a file (probably the one named "dtb") in the "root/dev" directory of your original/stock rom.

So you may get this from another user with the same box, or reload your original firmware and find it yourself (I repeat that I don't think this is so important - so there is no reason to do it).

If you have any other comment/problem I would be gland to hear it.

The "ENTER" is fixed mainly at the small keyboards (of type like i8, airmouses with a small keyboards etc) which have

If you are using a larger keyboard (like those we usually have for PCs) which have 2 "ENTER" keys, than the one beside the numeric pad will infect give you "ENTER" but the other key (beside the letter part) not. It can be fixed also but may depend on the maker also.

TWRP Issue

Is this normal for this rom?

Backed up the rom in TWRP ...

When doing a restore , TWRP error .. "failed to mount ODM .. not a data message"

Cleared data and formatted data, uninstalled and reinstalled Magisk but it always ends up in a boot loop.

Workaround for me was to flash the original HK1 rom and then restored only the data from TWRP.

What was I doing incorrectly or missed doing in restoring the whole rom to cause the bootloop?

Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
I am not quite sure what you are trying to do but let me guess and say some general things.

1. You backup your original/stock rom by probably a not-permanent TWRP, just to be able to go back to it in a few minutes and in the state you were then. The proper way is to do a "clean" install (using either UBT or sd card) and then restore only the partitions you want (sometimes even only Data partition will be enough- if you have made no changes to System or Vendor partitions).

2. In my custom rom you can use the preinstalled and permanent TWRP to do a backup (usually only Boot, System, Vendor and Data partitions). If you try other roms and want to go back to my custom rom, again you better first do a clean install and then just Restore the partitions you need.

3. You may restore Vendor or Data partitions from one firmware to another, but there is no guarantee that this will be always successfull. Better do not try to restore other partitions (i.e. Boot, Bootloader etc) from one rom to another, unless you know what you are doing.

4. In my custom rom the Magisk is preinstalled in a certain way (as a system apk) and you can not just uninstall it. There is a way though, which you can do it (I have given a PDF file with instructions of how to do it).

If this is not what you want, please let me understand what you are trying to do.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cossak2007:
Very clear and understood.

Was trying to make a temporary Twrp backup from stock rom but not successful.

So tried to restore your rom from Twrp backup by restoring all the partitions but ran into the boot loop problems i mentioned .

Great rom with zero issues.

How do i know my WLAN Passwords and other things are not spyed and transfered to some shady guys in russia? How can we know it from Malayska Mod of which this ROM is based upon?

There were many many cases in the past - mostly from russia sadly - where in custom roms there were like hidden software that used part of the processor to mine cryptocurrencies in the background...

How can i know something like this is not in such ROMS? How can i check and who guarantees that to me?

Also all people using TVboxes must take into account that these are mainly for fun (watching videos, IPTV, films, series etc).
