- Minix U9h -s912 -H a great chip that Amlogic chose not to pay future license for(so I've read). No support for Av1(?) -Youtube/ Netflix etc.

- Substantial issues with consistant TWRP full back-ups.

Using the temporary install seems to be Slim House's :cowboy: solution. With many referals to using Titanium back-up or similar apps as best option.

Hi, I am using AOSP Android 9 version 9.10 on a Minix U9h clean flashed.

I am having trouble selecting toggles and yes / no buttons with the mouse, it seems you have to move the mouse around the button till the icon turns into a thumb and lets you press it, here is a picture of Alpha Backup, when the mouse is to the right it doesnt work, only works when on the left.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Yes.

The action hotspot is irksome. Is it due to pixel point(er) animated too small, or action buttons not sized properly for font overlay?

You could mess with pixel density and or resolution in system settings. I would be inclined to leave it so as not to ruin viewing experience ... :unsure: .
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pnz:
Hi. I've installed slimBOXtv (ATV version 11.17) on my T95 W2. Thank you for creating and releasing this. It's definitely a huge improvement over the stock firmware, but I do have some questions/requests/suggestions (some of them may be impossible):

1. Would it be possible to allow apps to switch the resolution and refresh rate themselves? I've previously used Kodi and SmartTubeNext on an Amazon Fire TV stick, and those apps were able to switch the resolution themselves. On my T95 W2 with slimBOXtv, they can only see a single resolution (1920*1080) and refresh rate (59.4Hz) option. The ROM does switch refresh rates automatically if that setting is enabled, but I'd prefer to control this on a per-app level. The automatic switching also sometimes incorrectly switches to 30Hz for 24fps content. If it isn't possible to give control directly to the apps, would it be possible to enable/disable the ROM setting separately for different apps (enabled for Kodi, disabled for SmartTubeNext)?

2. Probably related to the above question, would it be possible to have a setting for apps to render at 3840*2160 instead of 1920*1080? Videos seem to render in 4K, but interfaces are definitely at 1080p. In an absolutely ideal scenario, apps like web browsers would run at 2160p with 8-bit RGB colour, and and the device would switch automatically to 10-bit 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 when playing videos.

3. I don't know if this is a device or ROM limitation, but I'm unable to control the TV volume over HDMI-CEC. I've enabled all the settings, and CEC commands from the TV to the TV box definitely work (I can control the box using the TV remote), but I'm unable to control the TV volume using the TV box remote. This worked with the Fire TV stick so the TV's definitely capable of it. Do you know if this is a device limitation or would it be possible with a ROM update?

4. Very minor request here, but would it be possible to include some settings to control the display on the front of the box? I'd like to switch it from a 12H to a 24H clock, and possibly to disable it entirely. If there's any way to dim the display, that would be even better.

Sorry for the long post and thanks again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pnz:
Small update to this question (posted it earlier but it was lost in the forum transition). The built-in automatic resolution switching in the ROM works fine with Kodi, but with SmartTubeNext it always switches to 29.97Hz when starting a video, regardless of the video frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50, 60), and stays at 29.97 until exiting SmartTubeNext.

Hello out there, can some help me with a slimbox issue?

I have a SlimBox Pro x98 Android 11 and would like to use the AV port but have a NTSC monitor. The slimbox is set to PAL in the firmware. Android 11 has NO option to switch to NTSC. Is there a patch that can adjust the firmware? The only option in setings is resolution but this doesn't change it to NTCC output.

I have tried a HDMI to AV converter but this shows colored vertical bars and says No signal.

Previous versions of android did not have this problem and there was a NTSC or PAL option to select. Can a patch for the firmware be written and downloaded to install via USB that brings back the switch for NTSC or PAL? The monitor does not self detect or adjust and has no HDMI, it is only AV input NTSC.

Please help.

Здравствуйте, может кто-нибудь помочь мне с проблемой Slimbox?

У меня SlumBox Pro, x98 Android 11, и я хотел бы использовать AV-порт, но у меня монитор NTSC. В прошивке Slimbox установлен PAL. В Android 11 НЕТ возможности переключиться на NTSC. Есть ли патч, который сможет настроить прошивку? Единственная опция в настройках — разрешение, но это не меняет его на выход NTCC.

Я попробовал преобразователь HDMI в AV, но он показывает цветные вертикальные полосы и говорит «Нет сигнала».

В предыдущих версиях Android этой проблемы не было, и можно было выбрать NTSC или PAL.

Можно ли написать патч для прошивки и скачать его для установки через USB, возвращающий переключение на NTSC или PAL? Монитор не осуществляет самообнаружение и настройку и не имеет HDMI, это только AV-вход NTSC.

Пожалуйста помоги.

Пожалуйста помоги

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
No, DRM L1 is typically "Baked" into the CPU/ Kernel. O.S. may then have drivers/ API to renew certifiicates. (As best as I understand...:unsure: ).

* A DRM L1 equiped device

can risk

losing L1 even when updating OTA factory firmware. :eek: *

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Reaper Man:
Comprehensive info (lengthy :geek: )

Several thought from link:

1. Wrong cable.

2. May need to reset firmware and redo setup while attached to PAL monitor.

3. Reset Language/location to Europe/ China (Pal standard countries) during setup.

4. NTSC to PAL converter (Aliexpress /Temu / Amazon : 6 - 10 $ )

When using stock rom in my GT King Pro, i was able to boot Linux distro using USB with the images I downloaded from beelink forum. I have kept one of the USBs I prepared earlier. I had flashed my GT King Pro with slimboxtv 54. All went well, I loved slimboxtv and have been using for some time. Then I wanted to try the same USB flash disk with Linux that I knew that it was booting before, but unfortunately it won't boot

I tried all USB ports, no joy. I reimaged my USB flash drive with my balena etcher (same as I did earlier), still won't boot.

I tried putting the SD Card with OpenELEC and it boots with no issue.

I have checked all the settings in SlimboxTv UI but couldn't find something about USB boot.

I don't want to revert back to GT King Pro stock ROM as it's ugly and missing many features I like in slimboxtv.

Can anybody boot from USB flash drive on a GT King Pro with SlimboxTv?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gjwa yzma:
Research specs on your box

And then try to find a box that comes as close as possible to your chipset s

Ram is most important

Exp: if you have DDR3

Then only test firmware with matching Ram

You will need an external device to navigate ui

Try USB Mouse or Keyboard

Even a wired mouse can work

You can get lucky and remote config matches or has some functions working on your remote

Then of course

Ethernet

Wifi

Bluetooth

Good luck

I installed sbx_h96_pro_plus_3_32_lpddr_aosp_9_11.img on Tanix TX9 Pro 3GB/32GB.

The system boots and is fairly usable.

I am glad components/features like Ethernet, WIFI, TF card slot, sound over HDMI and USB ports (used it to attached wireless remote) are working.

Issues I have encountered are: Bluetooth is not working and neither is 3.5mm audio output jack. (expected since the firmware was not designed for TX9 Pro).

I hope someone can guide me how to enable Bluetooth for this sbx firmware on TX9 Pro.
