I just confirm on slimbox telegram that dolby vision is hard to fix on minix u22-xj max so they gave up, freaktab don't have firmware for max. Thanks for trying to help but I'm just out of luck on this one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] n.p.:
First of all, I also would like to see Magisk pre-installed. I can't imagine having any rooted device without it.

Second, does any reason exist not to install TWRP permanently? And if no reason exists not to do it, can someone concisely list the instructions to do it (including all linkes to the current versions of the files)?

Thank you in advance.

I haven't try it myself yet, but i think you want this to install magisk.

Hi.....

is it possible to un root the firmware?,

so I can install applications that not allow on rotted device,

if yes, how?

many thanks....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Momoma:
V10.2 very good

Miracast is working

Thank you
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] trm33:
I have also posted same question some days ago, but no one rssponded, even after uninstalling root from slimbox setting app still identifies that this is un-original firmware (rooted device).

magisk is needed to exclude those apps which does not need root access.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Rainey222:
Thanks for the great rom

I am running V9 ATV on an X96 Max+2 4/64

I loaded two boxes both connected to the lan by cable.

I get this notification (see Screenshot) on one of the boxes as it boots up and do not know what it mean or what log they tell me to look at.

Screenshot https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AzPfdIqOoEC43MnVGPHJsKmOqWv34c4p/view?usp=sharing

It flashes this same notification about 5 times as it boots up.

I have WIFI disabled and Location turned off.

I think i had WIFI on once on this box that gives this pop notification maybe it has something to do with that.

I have looked for the com.google.android.gms in apps but it is not there , only com.google.android.gms.policy_sidecar_o

I am thing about moving to 10.2 so maybe it no beg deal but would like to try and fix this first.

Thanks for any help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
I have the same on 10.2. And I also have it for another app package. Since I don't care about notifications, let alone from google, I just disabled "show notification channel warnings".

Go into Device Preferences > More Settings > Search for "show notification channel warnings" and disable it.

Not really a solution, as I think only Slimbox devs can solve it. But it's a workaround for now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ndey12:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Chinachilla:
Hello! I am loving this rom but there is always a bug that I have yet to see solved in any custom rom and it is that when I use HBO Max, there is no audio playing in the movie! I always have to go to sound settings and under Surround Sound, go to Select formats and change to Manual setting to have audio but the bug comes when I turn off or reboot the device and there is no sound again for HBO Max and I would have to change to Auto or None then back to Manual to get sound again!

Sound plays normally on Youtube and I know its not my TV since I don't have this problem with MIBOX S or the new Chromecast with Google TV.

I am using X96s stick as I did not want it to go to waste!

Good morning,

I have been using Slimbox for many years, particularly for the x96 as well as the Vontar x2.

However, I found a box running Amlogic s905w2 which is not referenced on Slimbox. Is there a generic firmware?

Where is it possible to take firmware from a different box?

Thanks for your help.

Got slimboxtv atv version installed on my x96 x10. Any way of changing the size of the app icons in the launcher? Also, font size for settings?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mogulman01:
Looks like I found the setting. In Accessibility settings the font/sizing. I changed them to default and everything went back to normal.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mogulman01:
Actually. I changed the Font size to Default. That works fine. I need the display size to be default also. For some reason it is at 160 dpi. I can change it, but on reboot it changes back. Anyone have a solution?

thinking of buying Vontar X4 to my parents and use Slimboxtv, does it use Android TV so you get the TV version of the apps and not mobile? Thanks

Just wondering if there's any chance we can get the slimbox rom updated to being based on ugoos firmware v.1.3.5? As it has added an important dolby vision setting and Dolby Vision 120hz capabilities... Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lvdoan:
@SlimHouse, Thanks for the new FW version 12.2 for X98H allwinner H618 box. However, some bugs are still there from version 12.1, including i) Accessibility service randomly turns itself off for some apps like tvQuickactions, Apkpure; ii) CEC not fully working, cannot auto wake up the box from sleep mode when the TV turned on, instead, D-Pad on the wireless remote must be used to wake up the box; furthermore, powering off or putting the box into sleep mode cannot turn off the TV. (My TV works normally and fully in CEC mode with Amlogic devices running other Slimbox ATV FW).

Can you look into the issues? Thank you.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bobxsherman:
I need help with two boxes both X 96X 10. I was running atv on both. One was J and one was not. I stopped using the regular one and just using the J for a while. For some reason it crashed and went to the android screen. I plugged in the non j. Booted fine, but when I rebooted, same thing happened. Always using fans never any issues I don’t understand. Now I cannot flash with the app at all. Could you please help? The app does not seem to recognize them no matter what I do. Was successful flashing the first time. Also have running tox3 no problem flashing that. Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bobxsherman:
I was able to solve the problem with both boxes. I connected a Wi-Fi remote. I was able to use it up and down volume control. The first box. J when I told it to reboot, it sat on Slimbox. I then was able to hook it up to the app and reflash it. The second only gave me an option to wipe data so I wiped the data. Then it came back up, I guess was corrupted. I’m guessing if I wipe the data on the first one it would’ve came back up also.

Anybody with similar issues? Just wondering, maybe, my solution would be helpful. Any ideas why this might have happened?

Best regards

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to flash TWRP permanently as recovery on TOX3?

I am on slimbox 114.18 which has a different recovery.

I have found aml_ autoscript and twrp.img files which i can put to a external USB and boot to TWRP temporarily. But from TWRP I cant flash it to recovery because it doesnt find the boot partition.

I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

Hi

I have x96Max Plus 5 with firmware slimBOXtv-ATV-ver12.

Where can I find an update for my box and how would I go about doing it?

I have an option to select a patch on the box and there's a confirm button. Or do I need to use the USB app on the computer?

Can someone please point me into the right direction to update my slimbox version on my x96Max Plus 5 box?

Hi, I bought a T95W2 2/16 box and want to use slimBOXtv on it. I see there are two firmwares available, for S905W2 and S905Y4 CPU, but I don't know which one my box has. I tried AIDA64 and CPU-Z but neither tells me explicitly, both just say Cortex-A35 @ 1800GHz. Anyone knows another way to find out without taking the box apart? Would it brick if I flash the wrong firmware? Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ewmh:
Flashing wrong firmware = Brick;

Try Device Info HW app, it's very complete.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
You posted that you bought a T95W2 box

So why even think about S905Y4?

Maybe is best to test the S905W2 slimboxtv
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] nicodemouse:
Thank you for the enormous work you do. I intend to buy a compatible TV box of course. But I would like to spend very little. Can anyone recommend one to me?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marcuac:
Thanks, this one did show a bit more info and explicitly said it's a W2, so I guess that settles it. Haven't pulled the trigger yet to try flash it, researching on how to do that from Linux only (the sdcard method maybe).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marcuac:
This box initially came out with a W2 SoC, hence the name I guess, but a later variant started using the Y4 SoC in the same box (maybe Amlogic stopped making W2). So now there are these two variants around on the market and it's not clear how to tell the difference. But it seems mine is indeed a W2.

Speaking of testing, is it possible to boot slimboxtv from SD / USB only, without flashing it to the box, just to see that it works?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Okay

That makes sense

Understand your reluctance.

Good on you to research!!

I don't think you can use external media to boot slimboxtv.

Roms are image files for USB Burning Tool
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marcuac:
I got this one for $23 CAD a couple of weeks ago: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005876016495.html

The price is a bit higher right now but it changes over time if you have patience to follow it for a while.

Another cheap one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005652726462.html
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marcuac:
Hi all T95W2 owners. Please let me know what methods have you used successfully to flash slimboxtv. Were any of you able to do it with the sdcard method (actual SD card and/or USB flash drive)? If you did it over USB cable, which port did you use (blue or black) and was your box connected to power or HDMI also?

I don't have a USB A-A cable at the moment to try so I tried the sdcard method instead, but without success. I used a USB flash drive for this as I don't have an actual SD card on hand either. I was able to prepare the drive with the Amlogic Burn Card Maker 2.0.2 but the box doesn't start flashing as expected with it, it just boots to recovery. Any thoughts? Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] garethk1979:
Ugoos AM8 Pro is killer
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Which version u using, atv or aosp? Because I'm using aosp and it's very slow. My beelink gt king pro has it all over it in every way.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
U sure you have a genuine AM8? The S928X ASOP destroys the X922 in bench tests - my X96X10 beats my GT KING S922X at everything. https://gadgetversus.com/processor/amlogic-s928x-vs-amlogic-s922x/
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] garethk1979:
I've tried both versions but I always go back to the ATV one. It's a bit more polished and is optimized for TV use.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marcuac:
Success! So much better than stock, thanks devs!

I managed to splice together an A-A cable from a couple of old UBS cables I had around and used the black port on the box. I tried with the blue port first but that didn't work at all. The power cable was unplugged the whole time but I kept the HDMI connected to see if there's any output. I had to hold the reset button pressed until the flashing started and there was some progress.

Thinking back, when I tried the "sdcard" method I might have tried only with the blue port, maybe it would have worked with the black one. I'll give it a try next time I need to flash. The blue port is good otherwise, it reads USB drives, but maybe it's just not meant for flashing.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
The Blue Port

Should be USB 3.0

OTA SD Burn Card img is completely different than

Img to flash with Amlogic USB Burning Tool.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Thanks, I'm not impressed with the aTv version. Maybe that explains why my box is so slow.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Well if it is, they did a hell of job in coping it.

Like I said even when I updated the version # didn't change. From 132.2 to 132.3.

I flashed the newest rom on my Vontar W2 and connected my EON bluettoth remote, but after 20 min bt drops and remote is not functioning although it's stays as connected and paired. After BT turning off and on again, it starts working again.

Is this sw or hw issue?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
Good luck with getting it working properly - havent seen anything that shows that a GT KING or PRO with an S922 cpu is faster than an Ugoos AM8 or Pro with S928X-J In any bench test . My GT King certainly isnt. I alsways use ASOP latest version on all my boxes - suit my needs best
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Yeah ASOP is best for me also.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sesdave:
I wanted to buy some AM8s but coul;dnt justify it when I an get X96X10 for less than half the price nigh on same spec. They do everything I need for IPTV . Case is hot as metal but a USB fan tray resolves that. Very nice picture and they are Fast too -Slim AOSP runs good on them
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] raruba:
Yeah, I'm going to get 2 of them. I have always been a fan of the X96, not expensive and they run great. Should have got it from the get go. Glad I only got 1 of these ugoos AM8. Hoping SlimBox will keep improving the firmware for it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Gilg@mesh:
so I got two Vontar X4, I'm trying to flash them, burning tool won't recognize any of them, usb-cable is about 3m, tried SD card too but nothing happens...is it not supposed to be easy to upgrade it through SD card method? when pressing apply update from SD card it won't find the img file.

Hi, I am using your ATV 114.17 on TOX3. It works great , using Projectivy launcher.

One thing is not working – I am using i8 mini Wifi keyboard, with dual language keys-layouts. Both English and Hebrew languages are defined for it in the android Hardware Keyboard settings, where is says to use control-space to switch languages. I don’t succeed to switch to Hebrew using this keys combination. I tied to redefine the shortcut using “External Keyboard helper pro” app, but did not succeed either.

I have tried with another launcher – but same issue.

Any idea how to workaround it?
