Software button for Shutdown

[twistedmetalz]

Hi all, I am proud owner of Amlogic 8726-mx tv HD18ref ver 2.2.1

Bricked this 6 months ago... Only recently reflashed firmware and updated ROM
1) Bennini magic SD Card Style to G Box Midnight MX2 1.5 firmware
followed by
2) Acemax original Cortex A9 latest ROM
Android 4.2.2
Kernel 3.0.50

I am using a wireless mouse to control the MX box.
The remote control is lost.
I have to pull out the DC wire to switch it off.

My question : Is there any software app that can Shutdown the TV Box.

I have seen Minix Neo X8-H box can do this on their Android 4.2.2 OS.
I have tried installing shutdown app from the market, but all of them crash the MX box.

Appreciate any response from the experts here....

Here's the soft power app I use. Should be what you're looking for. Just put it on a usb stick, plug it into the box and either use app installer if you have it or use your built in file manager and browse to /storage/external/sda1/power.apk , click it and select install.

Thanks for that link. I will try this app. I hate how these boxes don't have a shutdown option.

If you lost the Remote, and have to yank the Power Cord to turn it off.... Then pray tell us how you power it back up again?
Or does it power up automatically, when you plug it back in?

I'd tell you to post a copy of your remote.conf File (/system/etc), but since you'd have to have the stock Remote in order to clone the Signal the Power Wake Signal, as a possible extra Button.
Since that Function is otherwise hardcoded into the Box... It should be as simple as rerouting the Function "704" Power Wake, Susspend & Off to that of a limited cloned Remote, or the better ENY8 Harmony Profile. Which I use on my Box. Though my Box is an MXIII, not an MX Box. Though I gather they'd share the same NEC Remote Codes.

Yea even on MXQ and M8 these apps just reboot the box when you tell it to power off.
