[ROM] Mecool M8S PRO W TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1)

The S905W is a very slow chipset, and most ODMs don't even try to drive the UI at full HD resolution because it's so bad. In my opinion, the S905W is so underpowered that it's pretty much worthless for streaming media on Android.

Hello, i installed this rom on my Mecool M8S Pro+ with S905W, it's working but very slowly, can i do something to solve this?

Wifi works fine with Nexus. I haven't tried with CoreELEC, since I am working with ethernet.

Okay thanks for this answer.

Hello.. does Wifi work for your device "MECOOL M8S Pro W" ( coreelec , nexus rom etc)?

Thank you.

Hi!

I have bought Mecool M8S PRO W from gearbest and i have problems when watching IPTV. On some players picture freezes and tv box is turning off by itself. I haven't had any problems watching youtube on it. Also i can confirm that IPTV with the same built in player is working without any issues on other tv boxes with S905W processors.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thank you!

Maybe it is an overheating problem. Try to have a fan directly on it. Or, if it's not under warranty, open it an the put a fan over it.

What are the advantages of installing this Nexus ROM? Does Prime Video work? Does the Android TV version of Netflix work? Does DAZN work?

Thanks.

Anybody Please ? From CoreELEC forum they tell me that it might be an issue with this custom, with its u-boot environments (I don't know what is that).

I ask this here, because I have installed your version. That is the only reason.

Hello @Magendanz
Thank you for your response.
Since I do not have a copy of the OEM firmware, if things go pear shaped I cannot revert back.

Do you have a suggestion for me please? Is your ROM flashable via TWRP, please?
Also does WiFi work in your ROM please?

I have tried coreelec, libreelec. alexelec but WIFI does not work. (https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/not...wifi-chip/4114)

Apologies for asking too many questions.

Kind regards

Probably. Only VideoStrong (Mecool) uses that p21x reference design. (Amlogic uses p212 or p281.). My guess is that it's an exact clone, but you might not have Widevine L1.

I'd give it a try, but the usual caveats apply.

Hello,

I have this box:

https://www.banggood.com/COOLEME-CM-MM1-Amlogic-S905W-2GB-RAM-16GB-ROM-TV-Box-Support-MAG250-p-1228328.html?ID=43100&cur_warehouse=CN

I understand this CooleMe CM-MM1 is a clone of Mecool M8s pro W

Can I use this ROM please?

Hi.
Will this rom work on a cooleme cm-m1 (it's a clone of the mecool m8s pro)?
I tried to install it but it tells me that this rom is for another device.
Thank you

Hello...

Did you get this ROM to work in your cooleme cm-m1 box please?
If yes then how please

Many thanks
Hannah
