[Android TV General] ChriMo:
I'm trying to understand which devices currently available in European online shops are providing:

easily unlockable and flashable;

fast/fluid at least for FHD/1080p h264/h265, better 4k + AV1 support;

clean OS/FOSS: without GApps or at least no active Google Services/connection during usage;

access of local network shares to play in Kodi, VLC, etc. possibly over LAN (in addition to WLAN ac/5 or better ax/6);

Apps for YouTube working (Ad-free, no Login, custom settings managed local);

Option of Game Emulation, best by own OS-bootup from USB-Stick/Drive like EmuELEC or Batocera/Lakka/etc

Desired Features: USB 3 (and WLAN/Gigabit Ethernet) with fast real speed, Bluetooth (for remote+keyboard), microSD-Slot, BT-remote support, HDMI

Looking in xda Amlogic GXL/GXM/G12*/SM1/NE Family Devices with LineageOS 21 (GH) seem to be closest to the requirements but current EU shop availability seems reduced to the SoC-boards category which need additional hardware and casing:

m5 - Banana Pi M5 (Amlogic S905Y3): available from 57-65€ (GH, id), 2-4/8-16 GB, mSD, needs case (5-15 €, A: d, i), extension for WLAN ac/5, BT 4.2 (ca. 15-25€)

odroidc4 - ODROID C4: available from 82€ (GH), IR, no WLAN and BT, needs case

radxa0 - Rock Pi Radxa Zero: limited availability from 66€ (GH), no LAN, USB 2/3?, needs case

sabrina - Chromecast with Google TV 4K: not sure if the version currently sold is compatible

seem to be out of sale and/or not available in EU: deadpool - Google ADT-3, dopinder - Walmart onn. Tv Box 4K 2021, wade - Dynalink TV Box 4K 2021

The big question is if a x86 Linux based MiniPC system (Celeron, 120+€) might be a better option when BT-remote should be the primary input method?
[Android TV General] ChriMo:
Dynalink Google TV Box could be a contender if a Custom ROM will be released eventually:

Codenames listed at androidtv-guide.com: DL-GT36 / DL-Google TV36 / DV6105Z (YOC)

2GB DDR4 RAM seems not exciting. For now it seems on sale only on Amazon USA (43$)?

Not sure if the Amlogic S905Y4 2022 SoC is leading in this price range and if devices with the same SoC will be compatible.

Found 10 S905Y4 devices on geizhals including the following interesting:

BOXPUT Q8 Android TV box, ax/6 WLAN, BT5, 4/32GB, A11, 2xUSB2, LAN, IR+BT Remote, on Aliexpress (€57), Amazon.uk (£40), Amazon.com (Meentek $95), Boxput.com ($110+24)

Nokia Streaming Box 8000 (Amlogic S905X3, SEI Robotics SEI600, see androidtv-guide) as an interesting 2020 device 2/8 GB, USB3, Usb2, LAN, BT, WLAN ac/5, A10 for ca. 55€ seems unlockable.

Android TV devices with 4 Gb RAM and AV1 support according to androidtv-guide

SoC's: 12 x Amlogic S905X4, 3 x Amlogic S905Y4

Maybe interesting:

Nokia Streaming Box 8010, Amlogic S905X4, 4/32 GB, ax/6 WLAN, GB-LAN, USB2, USB3, BT5 (Amazon.eu 95€)

RockTek G2 RTX5000, Amlogic S905X4, 4/64 GB, ax/6 WLAN, BT 5, GB-LAN, USB2, USB3, mSD, Game controler (droix.net €133);

Homatics Box R 4K Plus, Amlogic S905X4, 4/32 GB, ax/6 WLAN, GB-LAN, BT 5, USB, A11 (Amazon.eu 140€)

Mecool KM2 Plus Deluxe, 4/32 GB, ax/6 WLAN, GB-LAN, 2xUSB2, mSD, BT5, ($140, Amazon.eu 175€)
[Android TV General] xvkken4j2:
I can say that x86 is definitely smoother than sabrina (using Waydroid on a MiniPC with AMD 5700U). However, there are some limitations:

There is an unresolved audio lag that affects media playback (issue)

There isn't an Android TV image for Waydroid yet (issue) so apps will default to their phone/tablet UI where BT keyboard + mouse will be more practical

BT remote button layout is not supported on the default non-TV image so some remapping is needed

AMD and Nvidia GPUs do not support CEC so you can't use the TV's remote for input
[Android TV General] ChriMo:
Thx for this interesting report. Hard-Soft Problems while a pain, are to be expected on most not ultra-supported platforms. But it is good to know and evaluate them. As long as Kodi, YT, VLC, GameEmu work with TV/Remote like control I do not have to stay on Android, so maybe Waydroid etc. are not the only options.

I'm looking at Mini PC boxes like HP Prodesk / EliteDesk (used, etc.)

I searched about 4. CEC support: it seems Intel NUC and AMD's Ryzen or EPYC processors have support but not sure of Intel integrated GPU (iGPU) in general. Anyway CEC is less of a concern then easy remote HW & GUI support.
[Android TV General] lipsand:
Hey! I think the reality is that in 2024 there are no LineageOS flashable Android TV boxes still on sale, even in the USA.

The original Walmart ONN is not sold online anymore, it's replaced with a 2023 edition that has no known bootloader unlock.

The S905x2 based Dynalink 4K is not manufactured or sold anymore.

GCCWTV 4K can only be unlocked if it was not updated since Feb 2021. There are no google chromecasts still on sale that can be unlocked.

The Nokia Streaming Box 8000 has an encrypted bootloader and I haven't seen an unlock for that.

I've used Gravitybox for this, but it no longer seems to exist for Android 14. Is there a way to create custom longpress actions for the navbar buttons? Specifically I'd like one to kill the foreground app, and if I can have more actions, that would be nice but not necessary. I tried MacroDroid, but it doesn't have that specific action.

Custom navbars are also out of the question, because I'm using a foldable phone, and they don't support the apps list that's visible when unfolded. Gravitybox could use and remap the existing navbar and its buttons.
[Magisk] nickelnine:
You can check this out
[Magisk] Yeedatoy:
What about side gestures? Most custom roms have options for this already upon long swiping for left to right and right to left. If you're on stock, you could use an app like vivid navigation gestures to replace the stock side swipe. Honesty you wouldn't even need to replace it, you could just use vivid navigation gestures for your custom actions and make the new bottom bar transparent, as it wouldn't activate during normal usage unless you have a habit of accidentally holding down on your nav bar...which would be odd...lol
[Magisk] ajp_anton:
Awesome, thanks!

I don't really like gestures, I very much prefer a set location where I have to touch, as it feels much more precise.
[Off-topic] Freitz:
what would you prefer a google chrome or a samsung internet , and whats the reason you like it?
[Off-topic] EllieCat:
I would use Brave as a safe alternative, but I use chrome
[Off-topic] Noob694201:
none lmao but if i had to pick i'd use chorme
[Off-topic] xXx yYy:
If you value cross-device syncing and a wide range of extensions, Chrome might be better. If privacy and Samsung-specific features matter more, Samsung Internet could be the right choice.

Here's a breakdown:

Google Chrome:

Pros:

Widespread Usage: Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers globally, so you’ll find extensive support and compatibility.

Sync Across Devices: If you use Chrome on multiple devices (phone, tablet, computer), it seamlessly syncs bookmarks, history, and open tabs.

Extensions: Chrome has a vast library of extensions for customization and productivity.

Developer Tools: Excellent tools for web developers.

Cons:

Resource Intensive: Chrome tends to consume more memory and CPU resources.

Privacy Concerns: Some users are concerned about Google’s data collection practices.

Closed Source: Chrome is not fully open-source.

Samsung Internet:

Pros:

Optimized for Samsung Devices: Samsung Internet is designed specifically for Samsung phones and tablets, offering features like Samsung DeX integration.

Privacy Features: Enhanced privacy controls, including a built-in ad blocker and tracking prevention.

Reader Mode: Great for reading articles without distractions.

Dark Mode: Supports system-wide dark mode.

Cons:

Limited Cross-Platform Support: Not as widely available as Chrome.

Fewer Extensions: The extension library is smaller compared to Chrome.

Less Developer-Focused: Fewer developer tools compared to Chrome.
[Off-topic] sqhills:
I use Via. It's lightweight and has a lot of useful utilities. Also supports scripts.

It's based on the system WebView so not such a good idea for old devices.
[Off-topic] Retrial:
None of these.

Brave browser. Build in adblock fast and reliable. Available in Play Store for easy updates.

Another option would be Cromite.

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] gewe:
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device using Magisk years ago. SafetyNet check passed, no problem at all.

But at the moment (I don't know exactly when it started) SafetyNet check fails. No changes in ROM or anything. Last system update from Morotola is over a year ago.

Stock ROM, Android version 12, RETEU channel,, build number S1RTS32.41-20-16-1-9.

Basic integrity and CTS profile match both fail.

I rebooted with the stock boot.img, so the device is not rooted. But even then the check fails.

I have Magisk version 27.0 (27000), and the same version for Magisk Manager. The app is hidden, name changed.

Systemless hosts is enabled. Module Systemless Hosts 1.0 is installed and active.

Zygisk and Enforce DenyList are enabled.

I tried using module Play Integrity Fix v16.5, but the check still fails.

I tried using Universal SafetyNet Fix v2.4.0, but the check still fails.

Is there something I am missing?

How can I get the SafetyNet checks to pass, like they did the past years?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] Deivid Soltoski:
Google is making rooting harder by passing Play Integrity (not SafetyNet, that's obsolete)
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] gewe:
If SafetyNet is obsolete, do I need another app to check if my device passes Play Integrity? I am now using SafetyNet Test version 1.2.1.

Edit: I found Play Integrity API Check and SPIC.
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] moxtrom:
It's expected, with the bootloader unlocked you will fail Play Integrity, even in stock rom. The current solution is using magisk with PlayIntegrityFix, only if the current fingerprint is not banned. And Google is banning fingerprints almost every week now.

Hello everyone

i would really appreacite your help to find software update for this android idrive

20:28 mcuver: 615043bals-ccc-hw8-190404[b1280_170325]

frameworkver: 8.1.0 opm5.171019.019 eng.zxw.20181228.162012 androidver: 8.1.0 appver: 2019050901_1280x480_970

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Based on the information provided, here's what I can determine about the Android device:

Hardware:

RAM: 2 GB

Storage: NAND flash memory, likely eMMC (embedded MultiMedia Card) with a total capacity of around 24.83 GB and 22.34 GB available.

Software:

Android Version: 8.1.0 (Oreo)

Security Patch Level: Potentially October 2019 (based on opm5.171019.019) - Needs confirmation.

Custom ROM (Possible): The presence of "eng.zxw.20181228.162012" in the frameworkver suggests it might be a custom ROM (non-stock) built by someone named "zxw" on December 28, 2018.

Other:

Unique Identifier (UUID): 010e6a88-3bfd-00b6-0000-000100001a88 (This is a unique identifier for the device, not recommended to share publicly)

Reset Flag: "reset" appears, indicating the device might have been recently reset.

"mcuver" and "1oucorver": These terms likely refer to the device's firmware versions or specific hardware components, but their exact meaning requires information from the device manufacturer.

Model Identification: It's impossible to pinpoint the exact model of the device with the provided information alone.

Year of Manufacture: While the custom ROM build date suggests December 2018, the actual device could be older.

Anyways:

There isn't a standard term "Android iDrive" within the Android ecosystem. However, based on what I know, there are two possible interpretations:

Misinterpretation of "iDrive": It's possible the provided information snippet contains a typo, and "iDrive" shouldn't be associated with Android. "iDrive" is a common name for infotainment systems used in BMW cars. The snippet might be related to the car's system details rather than the Android device itself.

Custom App or Launcher: There's a possibility "iDrive" refers to a custom app or launcher installed on the Android device. This app might mimic the look and feel of the BMW iDrive system or offer similar functionalities within the Android environment. Here are some resources you can check:

hello

the little thing is :

within the night, some people disable their personal wifi, at home

eg from midnight to 6AM.

the thing is, now android avoids to get internet through wifi is the connection is bad or just not connected

but

the idea is to avoid, while wifi is on but without internet (firewall etc) to switch automatically on cell data (it consumes both more power and limited data quota), for hours, especially for little internet subscription (eg 500Mo), as to do not switch off cell data, and keep main internet link active on the wifi, even without internet, as possible, while sleeping?

im wondering about how android manages it : does it retries internet after a certain delay, for a certain number of attempts?

thank you
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Default Wi-Fi Scan Intervals are

Android 8.0 & 8.1: Background apps can scan once every 30 minutes.

Android 9 and Later:

Foreground apps get a burst of 4 scans in 2 minutes.

Background apps combined get 1 scan every 30 minutes.

If phone is rooted, then you can adjust the Wi-Fi scan interval via the build.prop file, follow these steps:

Locate the build.prop file: It’s usually found in the /system directory.

Use a text editor (such as Root Explorer or Blade Buddy) to open build.prop.

Look for the line wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=15 and adjust the value (in seconds) as desired.
