[pexcn]

From your working firmware android 9, take dtb and paste it into this firmware.

Hello sagert:
How do I extract dtb from the factory firmware? and how to paste it into this firmware?
What tools do I need?

[sagert]

I just tried it, unfortunately it cannot flash successfully, the usb burning tool report this error: [0x10303004]Romcode/????/????/????????

x96 max plus s905x3



I read this thread and understand it should work, but can someone please verify it? I think this box is quite popular, so there is a chance someone alrady tried it

Would be great to see in main post on what devices it works and if what we lost e.g front lcd etc.

Works on:
gt1 mini 1,2, s95, x96 max, tx5 max

Thanks superceleron for your work!

but still great work, thanks a lot for that!

So SD audio and frame rate mismatch stuttering is by choice?

Those coming from HTPC must think thats normal. Its taken me 5 years to find ARM boxes which did what those with Sigma and Realtek designs did in 2015.

Well not all have big sound systems, im one of the ones... i do not mind the SD sound but that is me!
Also you can use debug version of this build and use AFRD and your rate mismatch is fixed, anyway like i said choices(or lack of choices) and tastes.

Well we all have our choices and tastes

A mediaplayer must output DTS-MA and True-HD, and support autorefresh rate.....like the last generation of pre-android sigma and Realtek players in 2015.

well i use android for a ton of other stuff that just YT...
I use it even for media player, for me coreelec/etc.. are to limited! but is true HD flix and Prime will never happen in this boxes.
For HD/4k flix and Prime i have my work box and also a mibox or even my 4k tv.
But i still use this boxes for some gaming (well more the s922 ones for that), and mediaplayer like i said.

Im my opinion the only use for Android is to play Youtube, with AFDR. That requires root. Mediaplyer functions are best served with Coreelec/librelec. HD streaming services such as Netflix and Prime are never going to happen.

Interesting as I didn't see anyone ask your opinion..

This is the Android TV build you cant change the launcher of it, for that you need to flash the "Normal" build.

Ok thanks. Wondering why I was able to change the Launcher on my G1 mini (s905X2.). No worries though Thank you.

Found it. The correct rom for me is. "905x2-S905x3-DEBUG-Normal-v1.0-20200103.img"

[superceleron]

Thank you SC. I've installed on the Mini2 and it boots fine. I'm trying to change the Launcher But the "Droid Settings" doesn't take me to where I can set default apps. What am I missing?
