This time an AndroidTV firmware instead of AOSP Android for Khadas Edge

Khadas Edge RK3399 Custom AndroidTV Pie Firmware

v1.4 Changelog

• Add More Settings Menu in TvSettings
  – Use it to change fan speed or LED settings.
• Add Fan and LTE drivers
• Fix HD Audio passthrough in apps like Kodi
• Add Disable sound in TvSettings menu
  – It can be useful if you use the tv remote to control the volume and don’t want a ir remote/airmouse or apps to change the volume.
• Add 192Khz FLAC audio playback
• Add extra gamepads like PS3/4, Xbox/Xbox 360/One, Nintendo Switch
• Fix SDBoot - Use SDDiskTool v1.67 and Restore option to write firmware to a micro-sd card and for it to upgrade the emmc firmware easily.
• Add TvSettings - Developer Options Flash image, Reboot Recovery, Reboot MaskROM Mode options.
  Click 7 times on About - Build Info to activate Developer Options.

To Root
Install Magisk Manager then patch the stock boot.img
Unzip to get the app - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.0/Magisk-v20.0.zip 5
Use Flash Image menu in developer options then select Boot and the magisk_patched_boot.img to flash it. Might need to do it twice if the boot partition is in use.
Now you can restart and you will be rooted.
No PC needed to flash a boot.img or recovery.img.
When you want to unroot just flash the stock boot.img again or if wanting to upgrade to the latest Magisk code if some apps can’t get root or pass Safetynet anymore, just patch the stock boot.img again, patch it with Magisk and reflash it. Now you have the latest Magisk code again. Quick and easy.
PS: Will upload the stock boot.img later

Bugs:
The resolution on bootup might not be right, manually change it to 1920x1080x60hz or 4K@60hz.
Kodi only works with 24,25,30,50,60hz frame-rates in this image. 23.976hz frame-rates cause the UI to be slow and is disabled for now.
I hope Khadas will be able to do some tests so I can fix this problem.

v1.3 Changelog

• Add VC-1 Video Codec Playback support
  ? Use MXPlayer then set the codec to H/W+ instead of H/W, make it the default in the settings

  Kodi can also playback VC-1 but sometimes you need to set the audio ahead by 1 second in the bottom right audio settings in Kodi while a video is playing. Not sure how to fix this yet.

Please let me know of any good open-source apps that work well for
Podcasting, downloading, ebook readers, streaming apps(not region locked and available in Google Play Store), File managers, Video playback, Audio playback etc. then I can perhaps use them in my ROM's.

I have been playing with this ROM on the Edge+Captain. Very nice work. ROM picked up a formatted NVMe drive without effort.

While I am more of an AOSP type, this ATV ROM is impressive for the breed.

Thank you for your effort on this mo123.

[mo123]

Thanks. You're the first to comment NVMe drives get detected. I don't have one so it was difficult to know if it worked or not.

I'll see if I can update the AOSP ROM later with these new changes.

You know of any good launcher that works properly on tv boxes and Android 9 perhaps?

[ClarkKent]

ATV PRO works nicely for me on 7.1. Good settings and features. Needs an ap drawer, or sorting of app types by purpose. Batch configuration of icon would be a big plus...but personalization is quite variable .
Smooth, stable, reliable in the n6 hostile environment . Ha! Gotta be a plus. Pretty lite footprint too.

[mo123]

V1.4 firmware link and info added.

[RISCy Dude]

Thanks mo123, look forward to trying it.

[srircrazie]

Would this work on my rk3399 Rtv-99/csa96 box? thanks

[mo123]

Probably not since the hardware is different.
