Hey folks!
So I got this Jynxbox M6 a few weeks ago and started to mess with it. This is a AML8726-MX based box so I figured this would not be too hard and should be like the Prometheus I did... NOT!.gif "FacePalm")
There was no stock ROM anywhere nor was there much known about it. When I looked at the MTD partitions it was totally different than any AMLogic ROM I had done before. Later I learned that this box was the same as the Mygica TV420 and the Geniatech TV500 which did have ROM downloads available. As I started to mess with those I found none of the tools I had for AML ROMs worked on this. With a lot of study, hacking around and a little help from JDfense and ShaunMT, I started making progress. Bottom line this is a totally new MTD format and other parts are also different like boot.img, recovery, etc. In fact how this thing boots is totally different than previous AML devices I have had!!!!!
Anyway it was a lot of fun learning this new box and format and I finally completed my first ROM. This ROM is based on the latest Mygica release dated 9/20 Overseas. FYI based on taking apart all these ROMs including a ROM dump I did of my M6 (which would not reflash) they are all made by Geniatech!

OK on with the show!
If you download this, please read my READ ME supplied in the zip file!
There is a LOT of important info in this readme which you should read before flashing as well as instructions and notes!
Features and release notes for my 1.4 ROM.
1) Rooted with an updated SU and Superuser.apk.
2) I have updated the Google Play and framework to the latest version.
You should have no updates needed when you first logon to google play!
3) I debloated all the junk apps and launchers! I like a CLEAN ROM to start with.
However, I give you all these available in the hidden partition I enabled (see below).
4) This new ROM format had a 69MB "backup" partition that was not being mounted after boot.
What was in here were all the bloat APPs that would auto install on first boot after a ROM flash.
I disabled all that and mounted the partition so you can access it.
After first boot go to the file manager APP. Run it and click up a level twice.
You will see a folder called protected_nand_disk
Look in here and you will see all the APPs that were installed before.
Feel free to install what you like.
I also added Pro Apps for you (ES File explorer, Android terminal, Busybox installer).
Again none of this installs automatically so you can install them as you like.
Oh and, I mounted this hidden partition as RW so feel free to delete and add whatever you like here.
It is protected from a "factory reset" and erase so anything you put in here will always be there.
5) As always, I added full init.d support!
If you do not know what that is... ignore it.
For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
To set it up, install busybox from Google Play or from the protected_nand_disk as I put it there too.
Boot.img has been edited to automatically setup init.d once the new busybox is installed.
6) Again I removed all the trashy launchers and added the standard AOSP launcher.
However as above I give you all those launcher to install if you like.
7) I Fixed the ugly default wallpaper for the stock launcher.
I hope you like my basic carbon fiber look better?
To me it looks better on a TV screen.
8) Phone carrier fix for Google Market unlock (more APPs show up).
For some reason this was not built in like other stock ROMs.
9) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
Your device will now NOT show up as a stvmx device to Google Play anymore!
It will show up as a GT-I9300.
Understand this please.
I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop
to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot!
Please also note about this change! The update APP will no longer work!
It checks for stvmx device name and thus wont work with GT-i9300 name.
Again to change that use the original build.prop as explained above.
10) Other performance tweaks I usually do to my ROMs.
Finally.... SPEED is what I am about. I think you folks will like this ROM for that reason!
I think this is the most tuned ROM I can make at this time.
