Tronsmart Vega s89 Standard/Elite FAQ - READ THIS FIRST

no don't do that. The version that is best supported is xbmc helix alpha supplied by oman in the amlogic forum (sorry don't have link on hand).

I dont have any problems with helix.
Works like charm.😀

Comming from a stock ROM you first have to uninstall XBMC en then install it. You'll loose all your settings without a backup though.
You can download a XBMC backup plugin (programs) that will backup your db etc.
Your error seems like some other problem - a currupted apk maybe? Just try to re-download

TNX you all- I succeeded to install the new XBMC but i have a problem with the XBMC backup plugin.
I install it and backup my XBMC but when i tried to restore it, I didn’t find the file I backup.
Any Idea?

you must configure it properly before using it. Tell it exactly where you want to ackup it and what to backup. By default it should be on the internal "sdcard" directory - not sure exactly though...

ah ok. You should see a directory named as a date on the HD. Your backup root should pint to the directory containg that dated backup. or root of HD if the dated dir is in root of drive.
I have done this a couple times and work fine for me

Hi Lokie,

You right, I found it in the SD instead the External HD I defined.
I don’t know why it not saved the Backup in the External HD.

Unfortunately its didn’t help me, I think I overwrite the backup file once I didn’t found it and did a backup process for the new XBMC to solve it. My mistake

thanks for you help and efforts.

Install titanium backup, take a backup then after updating xbmc only restore xbmc user data , it will restore all addons, settings ...

IR receiver setup

NEW You can follow these instructions to make your Vega IR receiver work for any remote. This is very, very handy as I like to have my air mouse separate from my media center remote.

Hey can you provide a link for this? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I recently bought the Tronsmart Vega S89-H and I started configuring it last night. I have some questions and it will be great if some of you might help me.

- Is there a way to remote control the device using an iPad? I know that the current remote works only with other Android devices but it will be great if there is a workaround to that.

- Is there a way to make the device recognise HFS+ and EXT3 partitions?

- Which version of Finless should I use in order to root my device? The Standard Model Finless 1.2 or the Elite Model Finless 1.2 since my box is S89-H and not S89?

Thanks in advance.

[papampi]

welcome to the club

I dont have an iPad so cant help you on that
Usually androids should recognize EXT2,3,4
Latest finless is 1.8 and its rooted already works on both S89 and S89-H

No, not the android system but you can use xbmc remote to control xbmc, very handy
