Rom: Android Pie for S912

[astromar99]

Hello reaperman thanks for the info .
I now about spmc and its auto frame rate and I have it on my shield next to kodi it still runs very good.
I tought AFRd: Auto Frame Rate Daemon fixed the frame rate on amlogic boxes also in kodi?


I also read somware that its a android thing the frame rate bug.
I like to flash a android tv for my h96 plus box that has good youtube 4 k hdr playback.
because the shield does not support hdr on youtube and this china box does so that is the only thing missing form my setup.
I use my other h96 that runs 7.1 android but that is a phone os.
thanks for the download links .

@astromar99,

AFRd, tends to be more miss than hit. In the past, if, I enabled AFRd, many foreign streams would connect in Kodi that would normally fail without the Daemon running.

Note:
If your T.V. does not do well with frame rate changes, you will end up with black out screens or loss of HDMI signal.
Ads in my Gmail would trigger AFRd, and ads in Youtube would trigger, video ads while web browsing would trigger...it can get annoying...very annoying!
You can try to turn on the Daemon for a movie/T.V. show, but, may be best to turn off once you are finished with the episode or film.

If you still want to try it, Youtube has a few tweak suggestions for AFRd. I may have(?) or someone else posted tweaks in Alfawise(?) forums.

I forget if Android 6 or 7 was more compatible..system wise? I got a newer T.V.; I believe that VRR does not fully work on my current set. I can't test/compare Android 9 with previous setup.

Is the newest slimbox asop the best asop pie rom for t95z plus? I asked a bit ago but this version of slim box wasnt out i dont think. Either way my i think t95z plus is the first version of t95z. I cant remember the chipset. I think its got "slow" emmc gigabit 3/32. I wish i rembered how to find wifi chipset without disassembly and chip ids... Thought there was a terminal command but its been years since i messed with my tv box. Wish it was more like phone and there was a way to flash roms from twrp and a newer twrp i could easily test before flashing... I guess burn tools is better then nothing though.

@Tknocks,

I liked Sbx v10.2 but saw sync issues with videos and regular slow HD transfers (never reached 13+ MB/s...typical 250KB/s)
V10.6 fixes(?) sync but comes with issues of external HD connectivity and picture quality(?) and colour settings.

(Whole system TWRP under Android 9 does not seem to work. Selecting Boot, Vendor, System and Data to fix/patch later installs is the method(?).
If needed, I think there was a slow EMMC bootloader patch(?) from lubodelev on 4pda.ru.

Found something on USB 2 and USB 3 Hub connectivity.

Under Android 6 & 7 typical transfer was 13-22 MB/s (Usb 2) USB 3 was no better; if not worse.

Android 9
Sc pie and Sbx v5 - v10.2 average throughput was 250KB up to 3+(?) MB/s (USB 2 & 3 hub)
Sbx v10.5 had throughput of up to 13+ MB/s with USB 3. (USB2 max 4+ MB/s)

Sbx v10.6
USB 3 hub was not recognized!

External HD can freeze system on boot while HD files are being analyzed. (Win10 defragged and good health)
USB 2 hub max 2-3 MB/s.


Today
*** Tried Xplorer and Mix file manager with USB 3 OTG driver enabled.***
Lost connectivity to USB 2 hub. Disabled OTG driver selection and multiple reboots. USB 2 hub unrecognized.
USB 3 hub now works with 4+ MB/s

Just sharing info for anyone with similar issues.
