So i just got this android tv box.. x96 max plus 2/16 version for one day only..

I noticed all default backup firmware i can find before i change everything is on year 2019 version..

I have this 20200620 version.. ( found one link in 4pda but got 404 error on the page.. )

Any advice on how to 'extract' this firmware from this device first ?

Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] saleen_gt:
Just google it you will find original firmware in img, zip format but in 4pda they have 2 different separate forms for x96 max box make sure you look in correct one.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] thyaguster:
Most likely it's because it's a low quality cable. Or it could be drivers.

Hey guys

I have a G30s air mouse remote.

Running on my x96Max Plus2.

In slimbox v9 the voice search worked for ATV but not in other apps.

I just noticed in slimbox 10.4 voice search is not working at all.

Wondering if anyone has a fix,

or if slimbox 12 is any better?

Working with this remote.

In more settings I search for mic and it finds the device under physical keyboard

But the only setting are keyboard layout

Hi Guys,

I've installed slimBOXtv on my X96 Mini tv box. It works quite well, considering it's quite old and underpowered box. Unfortunately I'm experiencing a very annoying problem with the AOSP keyboard and the included tv remote.

It's not possible to use the AOSP keyboard because pressing the center dpad button closes it instead of confirming the selected letter. In all other places the center dpad button works fine (selecting apps, selecting options, etc.), it even works fine with some other keyboards - for example the Lean Keyboard Pro, but neither I've checked is as good or supports Polish. The GBoard Keyboard (Google Keyboard) experiences the same problem as AOSP.

I've also installed slimBOXtv on X96 Air P2 and the AOSP keyboard problem is not there.

Is there some way I can fix this problem? Maybe I need to change some settings or modify some mappings?

Best regards!

Dear @SlimHouse

May I have a relatively(?) small feature request? In the next release for the above mentioned hardware (X96 Mini (S905W)) may you please enable ramdisk when you build the kernel? That would allow me to install Magisk (hopefully) and I would be able to change the props with MHPC to mimic an existing phone, pass SafetyNet with Riru + USNF (+probably freezing Magisk app.. yeah.. complicated..) and finally install and use Vodafone TV HU (because it refuses to run on the AOSP build because of "modified system" - so I would like to mimic a phone and pass SafetyNet and hide the fact that this is an Amlogic TV box).

Thank you in advance!

I have a s905x, the motherboard display model is m9+ s905x, configured as 2 plus 16, wifi chip is 8723bs, now brush s905x 12.2. the problem is: 1 boot speed is very slow, should only be compatible with my box. 2 wifi is working and Bluetooth is not working. 3 After the brush is completed so the usb port can not be used, update the firmware brush machine can not usb identification device. 4 Power on and off indicators are blue, the indicator lights will not change color.

Hi,

I have installed latest SlimboxTV ATV version on my HK1 box. All works fine and defently much more smoothly as with original firmware... Great job guys 👍

But I have one problem. I use also QiDianz Mini Wireless Keyboard which works top but if want to enter anything into an input field the the inputed text is not visible in German. It looks like Russian? letters?

Android on HK1 box is configured with German language and keyboard also with German one.

Do you have any idea why I don't see the German entered text?

Thanks a lot...

Update - I should first search, sorry....I found the hint the deep in the settings there is another place where language for the keyboard could be configured. Now it works fine... Sorry again...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Crocodilek:
Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion but I couldn't get it to work. I'm using the standard IR remote that was included with X96 mini so I think it doesn't have any specific Vendor and Product ids. Here's what shows in /proc/bus/input/devices;

Spoiler content hidden.

I've managed to find out that the scancode for the button is 28, it now represents ENTER and for it to work with the keyboard, it would have to represent DPAD_CENTER. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a way to make it do that. I've even edited Generic.kl and changed the respectable line to:

But that didn't change anything, the AOSP keyboard still closes when trying to type any letter.

Does someone have any other suggestions? Maybe @SlimHouse ?

Best regards!

The factory image of most Chinese TV boxes are rooted by default, and then running a mix of both Android (Smartphone) & Android (TV) in a state that's not very user friendly (for someone with tech background, then one will understand the UI inconsistency of mixing 2 Android versions on the same box, but not everyone does). Slimbox TV Pie build carefully addresses the UI inconsistency and the result is fantastic so far.

As for untrustworthiness of factory image of many Chinese TV boxes, yes, there is well documented information online about them.

Eg. Kernel backdoor on Allwinner SoC & Amlogic SoC

Well, backdoor is not malware but it allows malware to come in easy. Worse, it enables take-over by default.

Which is why, I believe these boxes need to be flashed with custom ROM shipped by trustworthy teams & developers.

You pointed out even Xiaomi Mi Box S has stuff scary to people, and I am not that surprised. However, Mi Box S is Google certified (unlike many other Chinese TV boxes), so maybe if you bring it up to Google, the giant would send some people to check on it.

Regardless, if it's software, then it should be fixable. Eg. Armbian Linux developers are building their own kernel and those planted backdoors are gone for good.

================

I think Slimbox TV Pie build is the first Android TV image that makes it as close to smartphone experience as possible (the image is based on Redmi Note 7 Pro, after all). It would be wonderful if custom Kernel is being built for this TV box image to reduce further any vulnerability surface (similar to Custom Kernel for smartphone nowadays). However, considering that Amlogic drivers are mostly close source, it will be a tremendous undertaking to make it work.

We should be grateful to SlimHouse and the effort making Slimbox TV available. I guess if there's enough demand someone knowledgeable enough would step up & meet the challenge of building custom Kernel for Slimbox TV someday maybe 😊.
