A95X R2 Firmware?

[Justin Mainemer]

Hi there, I have had the A95X R2 from Gearbest for a while and I was curious what the latest firmware is and what I need to install it to the android box? Also will this help speed it up at all? I usually watch Twitch steamers and for some reason 1080p @ 60fps is choppy. If I watch it with SPMC it's usually fine. I thought this was one of the faster boxes out there? I have the 2gig memory version. Thanks! Any help will be much appreciated!

Hi ,

one of the fastest Boxes out there , really a nice Joke , first we must know what CPU is used ,

sound like Rockchip , but which , if you can post the BuildNr. of your Rom , then it is easier to

handle , is it RK3228 or RK3229 please find out , so we can move it to the right Section ,

Oh. Well clearly i was misinformed lol. Could you direct me to some powerful boxes that could handle 4k 60fps with no issues? Just a couple different models if thats ok? Sorry i thought this one was going to be pretty decent. Thanks

Number 1 rule, (and I am sure I will get some flack) stay away from Rockchip..... Most of your modern devices will play video at 4k 60fps. However, if you are an audio and video aficionado, then most likely, you will want a device that can dual boot into either LibrELEC or CoreELEC.

Im more video but sound would be fine too. I honestly thought from google searching this could handle a 1080p twitch app. Now what are the benefits of dual boot and what are LibrElec and CoreElec? Im computer savvy but not android box savvy. Sorry for all the questions. I appreciate the help.

The information I find about the A95X R2 , says it has a Rockchip 3328 SoC. But you say it has an Amlogic S905W SoC. Can you post a link that shows your exact box???

Is this your device??

Hi ,

normal it must be a RK Box , because of R2 , but the Companys dont care about that , of course your Box

must handle 4K without Problems , most the Roms are full of Bugs , if you really have a AML 905W , then

you can try the Rom of Nayam Amarshe for 905W , to find here on FT , further good luck with your Box ,

Read the information from this link........

https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/a95x-r1-s905w-issue/326/5

Install this app >> aida64 << and run it. It should tell you the hardware of your device, Rockchip or Amlogic. If Amlogic, there are LibreELEC and CoreELEC ports for that device, but NOT for a Rockchip device.

Ok thanks. Otherwise, in your opinion, what would be a good box to get if money isn't too much of an issue? Something android based. What is the fastest chip or brand/model out there now?
