Hi Aidan I'd like to share with you a couple of things I've got from your roms, I have this android box: u2c t95x it's -as I understand- the same thing as the Sunvell t95x.

I use android TV and also an sd card with emuelec, I was using atvxperience but your rom looks so clean (the space on this little boxes is so low that all that bloatware is just waste of memory) so I decided to see if yours worked as atvx, I first tried with "[v8] Aidan's ROM [S905X] [ATV 9] (Universal RTL & BCM)" but the wifi didn't worked so I tried this one, "[v8] Aidan's ROM [S905X] [ATV 9] (RTL QCA9377 LTM8830)" with that one the wifi worked but the remote (the one in OPs second picture) has exactly the same issues he has, so trying with other of your roms I found this one, "[v7.5] (UNIVERSAL) Aidan's ROM [S905X] 1GB 2GB+" the wifi, remote and rebooting into emuelec works as it should, I don't know what it would take to make V8 to work that way in the box I have, but maybe you could try to use some of the drivers and remote configurations you already have on rom V7.5 (in the boot screen says 7.4), and other thing, could you please tell me where can I find info on how to root your rom, I'm not that smart but I think that maybe since your V8 is not rooted then that's why I cant boot emuelec, on your rooted rom -V7.5- and on atvxperience -also rooted- emuelec could be booted, maybe it could work or not but at least I'd like to try and see if it works.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
Hello! where can I download v7.5? I found only v8 on Aydan's website
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
The link to mega is in the video description, it's a folder with 3 roms choose the one that works with your specific box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
thanks, I'll try
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
I have a new problem now:

I have flashed [v7.5] (UNIVERSAL) Aidan's ROM [S905X] 1GB 2GB + .img - wifi works, remote works. but ~every minute the wifi disconnects from the hotspot ...

I flashed [v7.5] (MXQ) Aidan's ROM [S905X] [P212, P214 & P242] MXQ Pro 4K 1GB 2GB + (720pUI & 210DPI) .img - the resolution is terrible, wifi works, with the remote control the problems described above.

and now the TV box is not detected by the computer when connected via usb. turns on as from a power supply and boots up

how to reflash it now?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
I usually connect the box with the reset button press before opening amlogic burning tool, the box appear as connected so I can flash.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
no. It does not help. TV box is not only not displayed in the burning tool. it is not detected by the computer as a device at all
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
My box works that way, besides "basic" IT solutions like "reboot your pc" or "switch usb ports and try again" I can't help you with your problem, maybe someone can tell you a more "hacker like" fix but sorry I can't.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
i tried it all. it is probably possible to flash via micro sd

thanks ✋
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
Ok, first thing I don't know if you can install android from an sd, but this is what I would do, it's just a wild idea and you should wait for some one smarter to help you but, in a situation like yours I'd put a libreelec image on an sd then installed on the nand via shh, after that I'll try again to see if the can be read by the pc, then I'll try to flash again with the Aidan's rom that worked better for you, the downside is if your pc still don't want to read your box you'll end up with libreelec until you can find a solution.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
you will need to figure out mask rom mode, i made a video here on how it works :)

Root Method Now Available

​
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
Wow, great tutorial man, thanks, super clear and to the point, I'll try it tomorrow and I'll come and tell you guys the result, also, a question, Do you think if I use this unpacking method with V7.5 could I get the remote file that works with my "****ty" remote to re packed it in V8?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Sorry but android 9 no longer uses remote.conf files like older android versions :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
It makes sense, in other forums I've seen post about those cheap remotes not working anymore on android 9 roms, I now have no idea what kind of hackering voodoo the guys that make atXperience did to make the remote work on their android 9, I'll try and see if that unpaking method works on their rom to look for their remote files, can't promise you much but I'll post what I find.

Amazing, thanks a lot, I'll try that, it would be great to have Aidan's rom working with my cheap remote and not having to buy a nice expensive one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
I changed several remotes this way and they all work. It takes some time and you need to be rooted but this can definitely be done.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
Great timing by Aidan on uploading his tutorial on how to root his rom.

Thanks both, when I finish with all the process I'll let you know guys what happened.

Thanks alot for this rom, i just flashed my H96Pro + with the ATV 9 rom, the only thing i cannot seem to work out is that it will not wake up from shut off button. Is there a solution for this?

Hello guy's.

I need some tips. I have a mov z69 box, with this board XJH_MX173_V00 201-03-03, is a s905x LPDDR3 and Realtek wifi chip. I tried every rom and anything flash.

Can some one help me??

thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
This is a DTB/Uboot Issue, apart from replacing these with files form a working 9.0 rom may work :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
thanks!!! That helped!!!

but what about the remotes and wifi?))
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
Greetings! did you manage to solve the problem with the remote control?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
Sorry I was busy I just had the chance to root the device, but you should try kalehrl's link, I will try that later but don't know exactly when.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] suxxjery:
I seem to have solved the problem.

experiments with init.amlogic.rc file and other files have led nowhere ...

the case turned out to be in the built-in on-screen keyboard (it seems called gboard). I installed another on-screen keyboard - everything is pressed on it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] drbibber:
Just dropping in to give you my thanks. Thank you, Aiden, for giving my old Mini M8S II a brand new life as a super stable Android TV device.

I'm from the Netherlands and to whom it may concern: Ziggo Go app works flawlessly as does the NPO app. Just install from the playstore and go! I use it mainly for TV/Video streaming and it is great!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] emiljano539:
Thanks for the hard work. Anyone has tried it on X96 Air s905x3 2GB/16GB p2 version? Does the wifi works?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] timematcher:
Can you share a linke (or full name of the original ROM) which you flashed on KIII Pro? I have a KIII Pro and I tried many Aiden's Android Pie variants but none of those give me a working WIFI or Bluetooth.

Not to mention, none of them have a working DVB App :(

Can someone advise a solution? WIFI and DVB solution with Android Pie is needed. Appreciate your help. Thanks

Thanks for all the hardwork on this!

I seem to not get 4k output from kodi. and i would like to flashback to coreelec. But suddenly i thought how? it is not looking at my microSD on boot. and i cannot go into recovery to us the USB burning tool again. Does somebody have a pointer?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
Download atvexperience v4, flash it with your usb on amlogic burning tool, make an sd with coreelec, use it on sd card by pressing the reset button, if you want to delete android and install coreelec on the nand then connect to the box via ssh with your pc and from there install coreelec on the nand.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] djoenez:
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately usb burning tool does not see my h96 pro plus when attached to USB (when it is on or tried reset button when starting).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MarvinUQ:
Well that's surely a problem, maybe you don't have the driver for the box, maybe try downloading this and see if your box can connect

https://androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/Amlogic_Driver.zip

That's a zip with amlogic's driver.

你好，我的盒子是 Mini M8S II。我刷了你的 ATV7 和 ATV9 的最新通用版本，但是有两个问题。问题之一是遥控器问题。我的遥控器是小米蓝牙遥控器。连接后 按下确认按钮时没有反应。第二个问题是刷过的所有版本的wifi速度都很慢，即使显示信号很强，连接速度也只有几kb。如果用网线连接就没有问题。wifi连接速度问题应该如何解决？谢谢。

Advice please . . . .

Which ROM is applicable for X96Air P2 [S905x3], if not specific to this box which "other rom" will work or should be compatible ?

It will never get better than that.

If you want 1080p or 4K, get one of the certified boxes like Mi Box or Mi Stick.

hi guys, hi Aidan, how are you? I need help and i'm sure i'm in the right place... ok I have 3 android tv boxes I managed with your help to upgrade 2 of them to atv 7 but the third one is very challenging, I've tried many roms but in vain, I was very confused because it's a kind of mixed boxes if I'm not wrong T95N, R69, M8s and who knows may be others, it indicates that it's a 2GB RAM/16GB ROM with a S905W ship, it works very well but it's sad that I can't until now upgrade it to ATV 7 or 9 I will provide you with photos in the attach files and feel free to give me advices or propositions. please help me and i'm very grateful in advance.

Unfortunately no change, I changed to slimbox firmware for this moment. There both clock and bluetooth work.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] eagledipesh:
Find out your bluetooth drivers, there are flashable patches available on slimbox site, flash the one suits your box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] seboos75:
Slimbox on the A95X F3 works fine. Aidan's rom unfortunately on firmware "[v8] Aidan's ROM [S905X3] (A95X F3) FB-Zeyn Elenson.img" - clock does not work (displays 'boot'), bluetooth finds devices but cannot pair them properly. What patch are you talking about? I tried replace drivers but no change, maybe I made some mistake.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ycancer:
Hello guys.

Firstly, congratulation Aidan, on this ROM. And thank you. I have X96 Max+. The ROM is fast, cleaned from most bloatware, and it works. Mostly.

For me, the one thing I am having difficulty with is using VPN. The very second I start and connect VPN, all connection is lost! 2 different VPNs!

And this is very, very important. So unfortunately, I stopped using this ROM until I find out how to fix this. Maybe Aidan can look into this in the near future.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] headnail:
Hi,

Many thanks to Aidan for the ROM, it brought new life to an old A95X box long forgotten with ATV 6 on it... this ROM worked like a charm, eveything appears to be working as it should, except the remote (some butons work, others do what they should not, most don't register at all....)

I've read quite a few posts but can't seem to get my bearings stright...

Has anyone managed to get a problematic remote working with this ROM and if so, could you please point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nivan0611:
Hi Aidan

Firstly, many thanks for the ROM . . . I am ecstatic

FEEDBACK: X96 Air P2 is compatible running on:-

7.+[v8]+Aidan's+ROM+[S905X3]+[ATV+9]+(X96+Max+Plus+2)+4-32GB+[Clock+Fix+Thanks+XDA-asegura074]

I have tried the Rom listed in #1 but there is no display clock so one does not know wheather the box is on/off ? . . . that was my main issue, so i uninstalled and next up was Rom (#7) . . .

A Working & Certified Box . . . what more can u ask for ?

A few slight problems but i can live with this for the time being, otherwise the box is slick (y)

1 Major stumbling block for me:-

How do you Power Off the Box ? . . . . . or do i look for a Power on/off in Play Store ?

Oh . . . by the way, the Netflix doesn't work (Mod) v2.7 . . . . i've been running this for a while but lately it just knocked me off . . . installed the latest version from the play store (not compatible with this box) . . . so for now i have no Netflix !

I will report back on some other issues as i go along

i.e Bluetooth (not working); No Power on/off option etc etc

Thanks once again

hi all i have a x96 mini i've successfully installed the rom but i'm not able to press the key on the keyboard i've tried remote, keyboard but nothing someone can help here?

also jsut noticed that the selection can be done only if the remote is set up as mouse without doesnt appear any selection

thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] headnail:
OK, so I tried SlimboxTV and the remote works, from what I can see they are both Android TV 9 based (yours being patched with 2021 security patches). Is there anyway I can "transfer" the remote config files from the Sling rom to yours, perhaps with Ricky's tools?

I should have perhaps added that the box I am testing on is a Nexbox A95X B7N (1/8)...

UPDATE: Tried copying over dtbo partition from one from ROM to the other, no effect on the behavior of the remote control... still not working properly...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Franklindee:
that would be perfect can you please tell me how to install too?

thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] headnail:
How to install Slimboxtv? Same as you installed this ROM :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] headnail:
Hi, if you have not found I solution to your problem (or if anyone else stumbles upon this issue), my novice research has led me to believe that this appears to be an issue with certain boxes (had the same issue on my A95X).

The box reports to Plex that it can support the codecs however there seem to be output issues with them (no idea what as the original Android 6 rom it came with did not appear to have this issue), this issue creeps up on numerous roms I have tried.

There is a "solution" to the problem (more like a workaround), as follows:

1. You need root access

2. Disable passthrough in Plex

3. Force close Plex app and Clear Cache

4. Edit the following file (either copy the file over and edit and copy back or directly edit on box): /data/data/com.plexapp.android/shared_prefs/com.plexapp.android.xml

5. make sure the following are false (to be on the safe side you can "false" out DTS, TrueHD and whatever else you find in there related to audio codec support :) )

<boolean name=“general.deviceSupportsEAC3” value=“false” />

<boolean name=" general.deviceSupportsAC3" value=“false" />

This seems to force Plex to transcode audio to AAC.

There have been some reports that once you play a file successfully following the above steps, force closing plex/clearing cache and reediting the file makes Plex behave normally (i.e. playback of EAC3 without transcoding), however I have not tested this myself yet.

Hello Aidan thanks for your great job. I am using your Android 7 rom on my nexbox x95 2/16 and it runs fine. Is there someone using this Android 9 port rom on this same device?

I have tried to download the rom but it seems the drive is out. Can you fix it?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, this should install and boot on a nexbox, cant promise wifi/bt, ir remote and there may be a bug where the box dont wake up from standby (just turn off auto sleep/standby I the settings and leave it on all the time, I do that anyway I like turning tv on and it's on my screensaver) that's why there was a separate nexbox version of my android 7 rom, hopefully have a nexbox version eventually to fix the standby issue :)

Just flashed this to my TV box and works fantastic, well no wifi (rtl8188eu) but lucky to have ethernet near by, no remote but cec works fine.

Plex is the best as i have a server for it to connect to!!!

The actual problem is video volume.

Menu navigation is loud but video playback is very low.

In settings>sound theres no option to turn up digial input as per some guides i've found online.

I've gone to settings top right but it doesnt look like the full settings option you'd normally find.

How do i open the full settings windows?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
v5 is planned to have massive changes to wifi chip compatibility, do you mean the settings like would come on standard android? (Tho Same One That Comes On Phones) Because this is android TV there are less settings available & The full settings app from standard android is not included as standard, if you can link me to one of these guides you refrence i may be able to figure out a workaround, or a cause that i can attempt to fix in v5 , or nother option may be to implement the settings.apk from another firmware, the settings should include all the settings the standard mi box has, witch is a bit lighter compared to some ROMs :)
