Thank you for the mod Prahjister! This is a very nice amalgamation of Mini M8S II and TX5 firmware. I'm testing it on the Mini M8S II S905X. Just a few small things that could be better:
1. The installed Superuser doesn't work properly. Using TitaniumBackup most tasks i.e. restoring apps fail. If you install SuperSU v2.76 and have it remove the old Superuser everything works perfectly.
2. The WiFi on the TX5 firmware is less stable than the Mini M8S II stock firmware with Bluetooth disabled. (Bluetooth seems to interfere with WiFi on the Mini M8S II stock firmware. With TX5 firmware (and yours) even if Bluetooth is disabled the speed fluctuates a lot. Test it on fast.com)
3. My custom launcher (based on Minix) seems to crash quite often on this firmware. Nova Launcher crashed a few times while testing as well.
Overall I feel like the Mini M8S II firmware is the best but it also has some issues:
1. The screen brightness needs to be increased around 6 to 7% in the later firmware versions.
2. 20160805 firmware they disabled HDMI CEC as a bandaid fix for the issue where the language switches when you power off and back on. Removing features is a very dirty way to "fix" something...
3. Bluetooth interferes with WiFi performance (speed fluctuates constantly with it enabled). The WiFi/BT chip is either low quality or the lack of a proper antenna is causing the low transfer rate; you have to be very close to the router if you want decent speeds above 10MBPS. I can get over 30MBPS if I'm 5 feet from the router.
I think both firmware have problems syncing refresh rate to the native display Hz, at least in Kodi anyway. (I'll have to check again on the TX5 fw)
If you could fix the issues (even just the brightness) with the Mini M8S II firmware, port the root over and swap Superuser with SuperSU we would have a solid firmware for all compatible devices with the same WiFi/BT chip.Last edited by atvbca; 17 August 2016, 02:19.

Apologies for my ignorance ... i am familiar with flashing Rockchip devices (have done it several times)
I have never flashed Amlogic devices ... so i went searching for a Step-by-Step Guide on how to flash Amlogic Firmware
Is this one correct ? ... https://www.entertainmentbox.com/how...-burning-tool/
Or ... if someone could provide me with a link or instructions i would be very grateful
Apologies again for being a NOOB
