[ROM] Beelink GT1-Mini ALVATECH Android TV - ATV (9.0 Pie) S905X2

[Shiko]

Hi ALVATECH .
Tell me, are the joystick drivers built into the firmware? The joystick connects via Bluetooth, but does not want to use the dongle. The system does not see the joystick.

[ALVATECH]

When viewing videos (youtube, iptv), green stripes and ripples appear. Everything is fine on 004po firmware

Hello,
I'm not sure why your getting those artifacts on your box. I'm using youtube all the time and I don't get those artifacts at all. You might try a different cable, different version of youtube or a different HDMI port. Also for testing purposes maybe try a different TV / Monitor. I can't replicate issue so It's difficult to know what's going on. So if it continues you may check and or ask on a Beelink forum for help. Maybe other users have had an issue and they might have a solution.
Thank you,

Alvatech

Hi ALVATECH .

I'm leaning more towards trying out your ATV version of this ROM but comparing the features to the Standard version I see that the Standard version has "Android TV remote control". Does this mean that the ATV version does not? It's an important deciding factor for me.

Thanks!

Hello,
Yes Android TV remote is included in the ATV ROM too. I just don't add it since it's always on all my ATV ROM's, but maybe I'll add it so people know for sure.
Thank you,

Hello,
I don't know what joystick you're using, but I'm going to assume you're referring to a PS4 controller since you mentioned bluetooth. But I did not add any additional drivers for joysticks. So if it didn't work in the stock ROM it probably won't work in this ROM. Also I do know the newer PS4 controllers work when they are connected with a USB cable. If you find a good working driver you can PM me and send it to me and I can see If I can add it or help you get it going. I don't think anyone has gotten a good driver for these Amlogic boxes yet but I could be wrong. A PS4 controller that I know works with USB cable is model CUH-2CT2U this is one I have with me now and it works with USB cable connected. If you're referring to another brand of controller I can't do anything without driver. You would need to provide driver for it.
Thank you,

Yes, one is Android TV little different GUI and the other one is Standard Android which is more like a mobile phone feel. If you used a GT1-Mini ROM already on your box and it works, then yes you can use this one too. I have made this for the GT1-Mini, so if certain things don't work for your box there is nothing I can do since I don't own that box and it's not made for your box. You can flash any of those two images the same way you flashed the other image.
Thank you,

Hello,
I can send you a link to my layout and then you can change it to your liking. I'll PM you here in a bit. The layout will need to be restored through the backup manager in Square Home Launcher.

Square Home Launcher is already installed on that ROM. But yes pretty much it will make the layout look like the way I have it, and if it's missing an app it will take you to the app store to download it and install if you want. Then you can customize it to your liking. I'll PM you some more info.
Thank you,

Okay, not sure if you're telling me you're using his Firmware / ROM or if you're asking me what makes mine different then his to cause those artifacts. Like I mentioned to you already. On my ROM I can't replicate that issue so I can't help you. I can't troubleshoot that issue if it doesn't happen to me. Sending me a picture is not gonna change anything, I'm sorry. Please try the recommended options I had given you in an earlier post. Just so you know, it doesn't look like he has updated his ROM in a while so I'm sure it's based off of an older ROM. I can send you a link to one of my older ROM's too if you want. I can send you the one right before this last one I just posted. If you're interested you can send me a Private Message. I haven't had any other users complain about any issues with green artifacts on their screen. So to me it sounds like it could be your TV, Android box, or one of the other issues I had mentioned to you already in a previous post here.
Thank you,

Hello,
no Beelink has never released a Andorid 9 ROM version with Netflix playback in HD. They only released a Android TV 8 version for the GT1Mini-A. So I made a Standard Android 8 version that can play back Netflix in HD. I have provided a link down below. But If you want to play Netflix in HD on Android 9, I hear Kodi has a addon that can do that. But for that you need to research the internet I do not provide support for that.
Thank you,

Hi,
when I use the toothpick method it boots into TWRP and then I don't know what to do with either AMlogic USB burning tool or the SD card maker. I have my hdmi cable in so can see it is going into TWRP.
Any ideas?
thanks
Paul

You do not install this firmware through TWRP. You can use the SD-Card method or USB burning tool. SD-card method down below.

1. SD-Card method use program Burn Card Maker to create the SD-Card with the firmware you want to use, make sure it's formatted Fat32 best to let the program do it for you.
2. Keep box unplugged except HDMI cable to TV, next put in newly created SD-Card in your box and at the same time keep reset hole pushed in with a paperclip, then plug in power adapter.
3. You should now see an Android logo with a progress bar across the bottom, if so you can now let go of reset button from bottom of box, let it finish and that's all.

If not follow the links with directions on first post of this thread on how to use USB Burning tool.
Thank you,

For Burn Card Maker do we go ahead with the default values, or do we need to change anything? For example leave "To Partition and Format" unchecked? Or for the "erase_flash" dropdown is there something specific we have to select other than the default value?
