Beelink S82/S82H/M8/MXIII & Tronsmart S89/S89H - Finless 2.0 ROM

[WG47]

I use Xposed + Fake Wifi.

Works with most apps:

Yeah, I've yet to find an app that thinks it needs Wi-Fi but doesn't work with that.

NEW - Beelink S82/S82H/M8 & Tronsmart S89/S89H - Finless 2.0 ROM

WIFI issues:
Way too many apps won’t run unless they detect a WIFI connection.
In the past I have had recommendation to spoof WIFI. They did not work. Does anyone have new recommendations?

Can these usability issues be resolved in Finless 2.0?

I am currently running on Finless 1.8 and I am delaying the upgrade to version 2.0 due to some issues reported here.
I have the Tronsmart Vega Standard s89 with 16 Gig.
Connection= Ethernet cable, speed measures 60 meg down and 30 meg up.
Free storage 8.3 Gig.


Mouse issues:

1. I have tested about a full dozen of various air mouse remotes and found one to work best. It does however suffer some of the same issues that all the others also displayed. The on screen pointer loses response and connectivity temporarily. It appears to have lower priority to other running processes. This temporary loss averages about 3 seconds or so and then connectivity, priority and response is re-established. This on/off cycle is repeated constantly. During loss of responsiveness its display LED blinks red. Otherwise its LED is blue. This intermittent connectivity leads me to believe that there may be a setting somewhere in the rom which can be optimized to give the air mouse pointer a higher priority.
2. Can the mouse pointer be made bigger? It is way too small to be seen on a 55” screen from 12 foot away?

Below is a post of mine showing the mouse I use:

Display issues:
I find it difficult to read the small screen type from a 12’ distance to my 55” TV screen. I know I can zoom in from my Chrome browser by doing a ‘CONTROL +’ twice to get enough zoom, but then I have to do that to each new page I visit. I am also aware that 3 consecutive mouse clicks in one place invoke the zoom function outside of chrome. Unfortunately this is also problematic. It does not always work. I suspect that:

1. This function can fail because the mouse and keyboard have temporarily lost connection priority in the rom as explained above.
2. Sometimes the 3 clicks are not interpreted to be in close enough to be in the same place, due to the high speed setting of my mouse pointer. I mean that it is almost impossible to make 3 consecutive mouse clicks in place; without causing pointer movement.

To overcome this type of problem, the mouse pointer speed should follow an exponentially increasing speed curve. The first few mouse pointer pixel movements should be in a dead zone, where no movement is recorded. Then, after a 3 pixel movement, the speed increases slowly but at an exponentially increasing rate.
I have a feeling that this exponential function has been left out of the coding to get the product to market faster. Is it possible to get these issues fixed in the next rom?

Are there newer devices on the horizon without these issues or will they always be rushed out with flaws?

109K4 (which my ROM is based off of) appears to have a Bluetooth bug on SOME boxes. Oman is aware of it so I suspect a new release will solve that.

Hi Bob,

thanks for the very good Finless 2.0 Firmware.

I have only Bluetooth issues with my Apple Magic Trackpad. After pairing the Trackpad with S82, the Trackpad shown as a Joystick controller. I can´t use the trackpad... The Trackpad works with a Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 2 (both with Android 4.4.2) without problems.

I think, kernel missing the driver for HID Touchpads (Synaptics?). Please fix the issue

@Finless

Great rom so far, thank you so much!

Having the same issue with Netflix on the Finless 2.0 rom as on the Oman rom.

Netflix stutters really badly and sometimes seems like its losing frames, has this anything to do with Google Mobile suite certification? Reason for my asking is that my "late" Geniatech ATV1800E didnt have a problem playing Netflix. Dont know if its maybe an older SDK issue and if AML needs to address.

Thanks

In case someone is interested

Switched run time on Finless 2.0 to ART and it always get stuck on spinning logo. I re flashed to 102k4 from factory using USB burning tool switched it to ART and it booted and ran fine. I then re installed Finless 2.0 and before i did anything I switched run time to ART and I end up with the same problem. In that I can not boot device. I don't know enough about the run time to know why it would be doing that. Any thoughts?

ART

I tried to switch from dalvik to ART engine right after first boot but same as stock 109k4 rom it bootlooped after restart. Is anyone running ART succesfully, no bs please? anyways it would be nice if Oman and/or Finless look into it.

Having the same problem. It hangs at the freaktab/finless rom/AMlogic A9 spinning logo. Any thoughts? Thanks

Those 3 are not normal Android settings.

1) Screensaver for a phone???
2) Wallpaper is Launcher related. So it has to set up in the Launcher settings.
3) a phone only needs volume levels (maybe an equalizer, but that is only available per app)

Android is built for phones, so there are the mbox settings for some special TV configuration. If you use xbmc all your desired settings can be made there.

I guess one specifically that would make me happy enough is getting Daydream back. Settings > Display > Daydream does not exist.

What options are you missing? There are only the MBox settings (as special TV Box settings) and the standard settings from android 4.4.

Well, this is my first use of 4.4 so I cannot speak to what I KNOW should be there, just what I imagine exists.

- Screensaver options
- Display options (wallpaper, etc)
- Sound options further than just volume levels

In general the settings are much less than were with 4.2.

Got the bluetooth problem working.

s82_m8_s89_finless20_pack.zip installs but there's no BT.

s82_m8_s89_finless19_pack.zip works perfectly.

[MikeD]

Do you mean advanced in the mbox settings? That brings me to the android settings which is still missing a ton of options and there is no further advanced there...
