Any idea about which all File systems are supported ?

Couldn't find info on the website but my External HDD (NTFS File system) was not detected by slimboxTV 9.6.4 (AOSP build)

@SlimHouse any possibility of adding support for additional file systems for external devices ?

Coreelec is a perfect system, but most users do not know how to use it and what else they can do with it. Just a few options:

- If you like/use KODI then you know better how to use Coreelec

- Coreelec has the best drivers almost for any TVbox. Why you need this? For example if you have a damaged/broken wifi module, you can use in Coreelec almost any external USB wifi adapter.

- Installing Coreelec in a micro sd card or USB flash memory stick you have a dual boot system (without touching your Android)

- If you damage your EMMC you may be able to use the TVbox form USB or sd card.

- There is an addon for Emuelec (to use it in Coreelec) in case you like retro games

- Netflix in Full HD (if you know how)

- You may use it to debug some problems you may have in Android (for example if wifi is not working in Android, you can use Coreelec to find out if it is a firmware or hardware problem etc)

- Recently I have installed a triple boot system at some of my TVboxes (Android+Coreelec+Emuelec)

- If your TVbox has a small front screen (lcd display) you can easily fully control it (only temperature, or time, or intensity of it etc)

Many more...........usually as a second system

Mine is X96Max Plus100 according to the 4pda post, the ROM boots fine and WiFi, USB ports (bluetooth Mouse) works

but the ROM is not able to detect 1TB HDD (formatted as NTFS partition)

when I connect it after the box boots up, the lights on HDD turn up but do not receive any notification, nor I can see that in Explorer/VLC/MX Player

Same HDD works fine on Sony Android TVs which is why I doubted whether NTFS is supported by the ROM or not

Your concern is understandable.

I converted my powered USB3 3TB HDD from FAT32 to NTFS years ago (supports long file names etc...)

It has worked(sometimes transfer is 400Kb other times 32 MB, but, mostly 9MB transfer rates) All versions of Sbx for H96 Pro+ including GT King Pro- Sbx v54.5.

* Try using your USB OTA Port for HDD.

* Use a powered USB hub.

* I still use ES File Explorer with R/RW root option. Some file explorers do not see external SD/ HDD.

Total Commander needs the External plugin activated.

* Your could try free versions of partitioning software to diagnose the MBR (or GPT not sure if supported under Android) .

* If you have nothing valuable on your HDD, try setting up another NTFS partition or fat32(Both) for testing.. :geek:

Lots and lots of info on XDA about NTFS (starting 10 -11 yrs ago?).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] M4Master96:
I too have formatted my Seagate 1TB HDD in similar fashion (supporting long file names)

Sorry, I am not sure about this one...

The box has 1 USB3.0 (which I use for flashing updates, so port is working fine), 2 USB2.0 ports (USB BT receiver works on both), SD Card port (never used), AV jack (which has the recovery button in it), LAN, HDMI and optical port along with power one...

If by OTA port, you mean the one with which firmware is flashed via computer, then that is USB3.0 and yes, I have tried connecting my HDD there too and it doesn't get recognised.

Sorry, I do not own any external HDD which requires external power :(

Maybe I can try that, but I had MiXplorer installed (along with X-plore) and both were not able to detect

Well.. the same HDD is recognized by Mi Box (running on android 9) and Sony Android TVs (running on Android 10) which is why I am not able to pin point the issue

But thanks for suggestions anyways

May try with pendrives by formatting them in different formats when I get time

I assumed that NTFS isn't supported (as the same thing also gets mentioned numerous times on 4pda post)

HI, I am slimbox rom user on Radxa Zero. The radxa is connected to an 8 inch lcd + touch display. my problem is that when I change resolution from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 (because my display is 4:3) my touch shifts from top and buttom. I think that the touch panel is still in 16:9 aspect ratio. I am trying to resolve this issue for 2 months but no success.

I request you all to please help me find a solution. How can I change the default resolution to 1024x768 permanently. I have a decompiled version of slibox rom Android 9. I can excess almost every file in it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
If this is for a car media center with no other screen it should be possible.

More so if you do a factory setup with only the 4x3 screen connected.

Aspect Ratio is a hardware detect issue as oppoded to a software screen resolution option.

(Is it possible to lock the screen at 720P or lower on T.V. /set pixel density low and increase or Auto-detect when connected to your 8" screen?)

I know this is not what you are looking for:

Resolution of screen technically means how many pixels your screen will be able to display horizontally and vertically. Change screen resolution on Android by...

Resolution+ pixel density may help...via an app.

Possibly Build.prop commands? Check links below.

Or a init.d script to run a "Developer setting" on your China Box ex: android:resizeableActivity=true ???? for your launcher.

Good morning

SlimBox's boot screen modification can only choose from a few fixed options. Is there any way to replace the boot screen with a custom image? (Also, I hope SlimBox's official team can improve in this aspect Thank you very much.)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PowderLinux:
The problem is most likely that your box's USB port is not providing enough power for your external HD to work. (hence the recommendation for a powered USB hub). The drive will light up, but it wont be getting enough power to work properly.

A quick way to rule out if it is a NTFS problems tho, would be to test if a thumb drive or sd card formated with NTFS works (something that uses less power)..

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PowderLinux:
That is the official Android recovery.. TWRP is basically a custom version of that, but with more features.

Here is the link to Slimbox's TWRP download with instructions:

NOTE: i think his version is in Russian, so you may need to find an alternative
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] PowderLinux:
I forgot to mention that the problem could also be the TV box's power supply.. They start to deteriorate as they get older, and dont put out the same amount of power as they did when they were new. (common with cheap ones)

Try testing a different power supply if you have one laying around. Just make sure that it has the same volts, and the same (or more) amps as the orignial one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Yes, starts in Cyrillic language. Google: where language setting in TWRP, or click around till you find the right setting location(like I did).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
A better power supply with more Amps is always prefered.

Be aware that such devices(HDD) have a heavy draw on the power supplied to the USB port. Constant heavy draw usage can damage a cheap PCB board.

Pre-installed-bloatware-apps are stored in /system/app with privileged apps in /system/priv-app

- Possibly delete Rocket Booster app from one of these folders and do a system reset(Deletes all data). Set up your China Box again?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Box came with Oreo 8

Don't think there was Android 9???

Doesn't matter.

If your China Box is not listed at slimboxtv

Then you have to research your Box Hardware and try best match listed in

Firmware section slimboxtv S905X2 CPU.

Most important is Ram chipset

Then

Ethernet

Wifi

Bluetooth

When testing you a usb mouse or keyboard.

You will have varying results

Odds of matching remote config are nil.

So need external to navigate UI.

Don't try anything unless you head ReaperMans warning

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Nice work

Glad you are up n running

The Rom you are testing A95x F2 is only

2/16

Your Box is 4/32

So system only looks for/needs to read 2 gigs of Ram.

Ethernet lan is a whole different story.

Maybe try USB Ethernet Dongle if you really need wired .

It's possible a Rom from another S905X2 will yield working Lan.

However you may lose wifi/bluetooth..

So is a coin toss...

For system bars go to

Settings

slimBOXtv Settings

Options there to hide/ etc...

I recently installed the AOSP version on my x92s, the next day for some reason it went into recovery mode due to some system error. I had to do a reset.

But my question is: is there any option for it to go into sleep mode after a few minutes or will I always have to use the screen saver?

There is a bug in the settings when using a touch monitor, when pressing the back button, it exits the settings instead of returning to the previous option.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lassloreilo:
You should be able to install the Lan and Ram drivers from the Beelink GS King X or the A95X Max Plus into the Slimbox Rom, right? I think that should work, the boxes are available with Android 9.0.
