HPH NT-V8 ROM V1.2 (Dual-Boot) by mo123

[mo123]

So...unfortunately...i will not be able to use any mouse or keyboard...and i will not have wifi connection...buufff...

It´s a pity..

P.D.:
Thanks for your answer and your hard work

You can buy a cheap $5 wifi PC mouse or USB PC keyboard then you can turn on wifi and use LeHome Assistant.
Then you can use your smartphone as a remote and mouse for the tv box also with LeHome Assistant app.

New Android-Only v1.2 ROM for users that don't want dual-boot.
Also root was completely removed - testing needed for streaming apps that complain about root even if ROMS are unrooted.

Can try to root again with this then might need to update supersu app again.
Can also use this app on eg. Dual-boot after rooting from 'Accessibility Options' to try to hide root, if it is still not working also try Root Cloak from the Play Store.
Most of the Root Hiding apps only work if already fully rooted.
If still not successful look for your streaming app, maybe there is a mod available on xda forum or someone willing to decompile a 'troublesome' app to remove root check.

That app should work for Lollipop firmware.
But there is no easy way to unroot again.
I think it will work on most firmwares but not all, so you have to try first.

Is it not possible to remove root by doing a factory reset as this was possible on mxq, I now have sumvision x8 and I'm looking at rooting it but I saw you can no longer receive ota after rooting and now I see you say that root can't be removed, it's putting me off rooting a bit lol.

I really like your winbuntu screenshot ..would like to port the rootfs.img to geekbox.
Is this ok for you ?
hopefully it will boot with geekbox linux kernel e.g. ramfs.img ?
does user "hph" has sudo rights to get root access on linux ?
Thanks

Hi

You can use the rootfs only for a Geekbox ROM.
It is 32-bit so maybe when Mac_L1 get Kodi working on 64-bit, I will try to do a 64-bit version again.
It is full Lubuntu rfs.
User 'hph' should have root permission I think.
You will need to change the ramfs as it uses different wifi than the Geekbox.
Just give full recognition in the Geekbox forum if you use the same Windows skin and layout.

Thanks !

the geekbox kernel is already 64bit. Yes, still old 3.10 kernel.
I have published plenty of rootfs.img for 32/64 bit (armhf/arm64) in the geekbox forum.
Pls use them if you like ..All are booting fine on geekbox.
You can build 64bit today and integrate Mackodi later on.

Will try my own ramfs.img first, with integrated geekbox drivers.

MacL is working on 16.04 Mate 64bit release to get maclhybris/mackodi running ..

Hi mo123
It has been a while that I have run the HPH NT-V8. I have been working on NexBOX Z68's scaled down firmware and must say it is running really well. (I did not want speed out the device, rather stability and my latest firmware dump gave me just that.) So now I am about to start working on the HPH.

Please can I ask you, the LAUNCHER, is there a way to go directly into a program when you click on a tile? It pops up a sub-menu (i.e. KODI), so it means that if I want to start KODI, I have to click the tile and then click KODI... (Too many clicks )

The second question I have about the LAUNCHER, is there a way that I can change the MAIN TILES?

You can change the shortcut tiles at the bottom.
Have to use the IR Remote buttons.
It might be possible to launch apps directly from the big tiles, but the launcher was designed for sub-menus.
They are working on a different launcher also, so it might be ready in a few weeks or sooner.
You can also install 'Home 2 Shortcut' app from Google Play store, when you double press the Home button it can launch your favorite app like Kodi and when you press Home once then it takes you back to the launcher, quite handy.

Thank you for the in-depth reply, mo123, you are always most helpful!

Yes

Remember to also test LeHome Remote Control in Android Settings.
Can also use Happycast for mirroring support - http://www.hpplay.com.cn/index.php
