- The Power button is back on the Android TV Launcher row for Settings.
- Back to the previous set of OEM-specific options available in Settings, particularly with Display and Dolby/DTS features in Sound.
- This underlying OEM firmware is not rooted. You can install SuperSu or Magisk, if you need this.
- Latest build from Open GApps (20171119)

- Latest build from Open GApps (20171108)
- Now based on TX8 Max OEM firmware (20170815), which apparently has support for both Qualcomm/Longsys and AMPAK/Broadcom wireless chipsets.
- Upgrading version from Android 7.1.1 (NMF26Q) to 7.1.2 (NHG47L).
- Some new options are available in Settings, particularly with Display and Dolby/DTS features in Sound.

- Beelink GT1_702N0 OEM bootloader, kernel and device trees with Mecool M8S Pro V0321 system stripped to Android stock bits and the latest Open GApps
- Nexus splash logo with stock Nexus boot animation
- I'm still seeing some stuttering with Bluetooth audio, but it seems specific to the LTM8830 wireless chipset.
- Google Cast service works from Chrome browser, but apparently requires Google license to work from Android apps.
- Recommendations will show in the status bar by design. If you want it always hidden, just uncomment "persist.sys.useTvStatusBar=true" in build.prop.
- If holding reset button to boot to recovery, release after 10 seconds and then wait for almost a minute. It will eventually get there.
- TVStock Variant: BURN PACKAGE (1.10GB IMG file), OTA UPDATE (571MB ZIP file)
- Flash burn package with Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.8 or BootcardMaker v2.0.0.2
- This ROM has drivers for the Qualcomm QCA9377 and Longsys LTM8830 wireless chipsets (S/N beginning with S912 or G912) AND the AMPAK AP6255 wireless chipset (S/N beginning with A912). (Many others are also included.)
- This includes device trees for 1G, 2G and 3G DRAM configurations, and so it should work on both GT1 standard and ultimate SKUs.
- The updater is signed, and so can be installed in the Update app, the stock recovery, or TWRP. It's designed for incremental updates, since user data is preserved. If you're installing for the first time, you should include a data wipe.
- The safest bet is always to install the full Amlogic burn package with USB Burning Tool, just like at the factory.
- Flash ROMs at your own risk and always remember to back up your data first. The burn package includes a factory reset
