    Notes:
    Please read the "Extra Tips Section" on the 2nd post for additional help.

    Download ROM:
    GT1_MINI_115_AT_V1A


    Installation Instructions:
    Recommend Using Amlogic's USB Burning Tool. If you use Amlogic's USB Burning Tool you must flash it with the USB 2.0 Port (not the blue USB port) and also with a quality M/M USB cable. SD Card flash method can be used. If you're having trouble flashing with a USB cable try the SD Card method seems to work without any issues.

    AFTER FIRST INITIAL BOOT APPS WILL BE LOADING AND INSTALLING IN THE BACKGROUND FOR THE FIRST TIME SO PLEASE BE PATIENT.
    THIS ROM DELETES ALL YOUR DATA SO DO A BACKUP IF NEEDED! USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    This is to share my work with everyone and to try to make these TV boxes more enjoyable.
    I will try my best to answer or help with any questions and or concerns as soon as I can.
    If something doesn't function properly please let me know with as much detail as possible and I will try to fix it.
    I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DO!!

    Extra Tips Section...

    Tip (1.)
    MAGISK INSTALL & HOW TO PASS SAFETYNET.
    This is to hide ROOT on your box & pass Safetynet and still keep it rooted. You can also install other modules.
    DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
    • Download the latest version of Magisk & Magisk Manager put these somewhere you know, like an SD Card.
    • Reboot into Recovery (TWRP) by using the Power Menu App or holding in the reset button on bottom of the box while powering it up.
    • Now in this exact order install Magisk zip file you downloaded through TWRP, after this reboot back into the Android OS.
    • Next install Magisk Manager then open it and if it asks you to allow Magisk to make changes and or updates, allow these changes and or updates.
    • Next in Magisk Manager go to the downloads section from the menu, and in the top right corner in the search bar type SafetyPatch then download that zip file.
    • After you download it remember where you put it, now reboot back into TWRP Recovery again and then install the SafetyPatch zip file you downloaded.
    • Now reboot into the OS and open Magisk Manager again now it should pass the SafetyNet check.
    Notes:
    I have tried this on my ROM only, not any other ROM's so please only ask for help if you installed this on this ROM only.
    Other users or myself can maybe try to assist on any problems you may have. If you need additional help please visit Magisk help here.

    If you can't update certain apps from the play store you may need to clear cache from the google play store app in order to make it work again.
    To clear cache you need to go to Settings / Apps / Google Play Store / Storage then press CLEAR CACHE button. Now your apps should update.


    Tip (2.)
    SPMC 17 FOR BETTER VIDEO PLAYBACK.
    This is for people who still might be having some video playback issues.
    Download SPMC V17.6 or newer link here.
    Then go to Settings >> Then go to Player settings >> then go all the way down and change the option from basic to advanced then go up to Videos and look for the Playback Section and change Adjust display refresh rate to Always. Then go to the Processing Section in there leave all hardware acceleration on then go down to Accelerate MPEG2, MPEG4, h264 and hevc and change those all to Always then close out SPMC properly and then re-open you must restart SPMC properly in order for changes to take place. Then see if your troubled videos work.

    Also you can try to enable HDMI self-adaption option and see if this helps out. To do this go to settings by pressing F9 on a keyboard or on the cogwheel in top right hand corner of original IR Remote then settings will come out on the right hand side of the screen. Then under Droid setting / playback settings / HDMI self-adaption and enable that option and see if this helps too.

    Tip (3.)
    More Stable Wifi Connection
    Go to new TV Settings (or press F9 on keyboard) then go to Network and join a Wifi network. After you've joined successfully then scroll all the way down and go to IP settings then change this from dhcp to static. Usually all the default options are gonna work so just keep accepting all the changes until the end. This should help with waking up from sleep and staying connected and also helps with disconnects from the Wifi network.


    Tip (4.)
    Disable Notifications
    For example if you want to disable YouTube notifications from popping up in the status bar at top of your screen do the the following steps. Go to Settings / Apps then scroll down until you see YouTube then click on it then go to App Notifications then toggle the On switch to turn Off.


    Tip (5.)
    Keep status bar hidden
    For the most part the status bar hides itself in this ROM. But if you want it hidden all the time. You'll only need to do this once. Here are the following steps:
    1. Download terminal emulator app from the playstore.
    2. Then run the following 2 commands in the terminal app:
    su
    then run:
    settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
    This will make the status bar immersive.
    Now for some reason you want to undo these changes, you can run these 2 commands:
    su
    then run:
    settings put global policy_control null*

        Hello everyone,
        I have made a ROM for the newer boxes that came out with a new serial number starting with B905 & B95X. A link to this ROM is over here. Remember this ROM will not make your box Netflix Certified if it didn't come originally certified from factory. So then you'll need to uninstall the Netflix ATV app that's installed with that ROM and install your own Netflix apk if needed.
        Thank you,

        Alvatech

            I'm sorry but I'm not understanding which link you referring to? I have tried all my links to the GTMini-A but I don't see any down. Unless you have bookmarked some of my threads then those bookmarks will no longer be valid since all my threads got deleted by accident by a moderator. We had to rebuild all my threads and this is why I don't have any previous posts in all my threads. So you might need to refresh your browser, clear cache and or look for the new link for my ROM and re-bookmark the ones you use again.
            Thank you,
