Mod for Tanix TX5 Pro MiniM8SII and Nexbox A95X COOLEME MB1 X9 Frankenstein Firmware WIP
I was able to get it working but it wasnt easy and required and app from the play store.
Required
Button remapper from the play store
keytest apk i think it is on github and side load.
I looked at the original remote.conf file and found kodi button and changed to hex value for the f1 button in same file. then used button remapper app from play store. I think you can make 2 on the free one.

This is from memory about a month ago.
Can you upload the remap remote.config file please

I'm trying without needing a keymapping app, whats strange is I can map the kodi button to lets say opening up the web browser or the settings screen.. but if I add "key 394 KODI" to both "Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl" & "Generic.kl" and reboot the remote stops working.... I'm thinking maybe the lines "KODI" isnt correct and maybe more code is needed?
Moved over entire framework, systemui.apk settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk from MINIM8S firmware in the system directory to Tanix. I did have to use another utility to take the sd card type firmware apart.
Proper Root
/system/remote with all the remote.conf files copy the appropriate remote.conf to /system/etc then reboot
add update ota script so you don't have to flash brand new img for tweaks every time and loose everything
Added Android TV Youtube, Terminal Emulator, Speedtest, Universal Init.d, Passthrough Fix
Passthrough Fix (Thank you itsmeedoofer for getting me headed in the right direction)
To use the passthrough fix. Go into android settings more settings apps privileges and turn on storage privileges. then notifications and give it priority. Launch the app and use reboot button. Give it root privileges.
From then on after rebooting wait until you hear the notification sound and see the app has received root privileges. Most of the time it takes 15 seconds after you see launcher. It takes a while longer at first. And I had to reboot several times to settle down. The app is waiting for boot complete from the OS and it lots of apps are starting it will extend the time.
You can test the update script by opening terminal emulator and typing su then update....It downloads and to confirm it works you see "It Worked"
Confirmed to work on
Tanix TX5 Pro
MINIM8SII
Nexbox A5
Nexbox A95x All
COOLEME MB1 (remote works with no modification/ Bluetooth doesn't)
What doesn't work
Power button settings in android settings doesn't appear to work (Tells box to sleep or power off when power button is pressed)
Power button on supplied remote for devices other then Tanix do not wake device up.
FYI
I am not a dev. I will keep this post updated with the basic steps taken and changes made. This is to try to help spur everyone to help make these boxes better and give it a shot. It is not very hard...Google is your friend.
Have Fun
Big thanks to gtznuts to get the last boxes working
How to Update
Open the terminal emulator and type "su" then "update" I would subscribe to this thread to be notified of updates
8.26.16 Update
Added playercorefactory.xml for installation ease to play the the few files that Kodi wont play smoothly. After running the update script and use MX Player in Kodi run "su" if not already root then "playercorefactory.sh". You can remove by running again. If you run into a movie that is not playing right long left click the file, or press c, or option button on remote and go to play using and choose MX Player.
8.27.16 Update
Finally looked into that stupid enter issue with keyboard users. To fix by hand change /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl 28 from DPAD_CENTER to ENTER. Or your can run update and it will do it for you. I can't believe I never looked into this before and how easy it was to fix.
8.28.16 Update
Thanks esloudan for making a new boot logo.
8.31.16 Update
Thanks esloudan for making a new bootanimation. After updating run "su" if not already root then bootani.sh.......if you dont care for it run it again to restore the original
9.15.16 Update is available Reboot Required
Thank you SuperCeleron for the brightness fix.
On the MiniM8s II wifi don't work. In the last part of MiniM8S II they updated wifi chip to AP6212A

Most of the limitations quirks of Android are removed, put simply it works.... I run it from SD card so if for any reason I need android, I can simply chose the option to reboot into NAND, best of both worlds...

Hello, Just flashed this on my Abox A1 Plus S905x 6.0 box using USB Burning Tool and it flashed successfully but now only boots to the AMLOGIC Logo screen. Figured I would try it since the stock firmware was hit or miss. Any idea what may have gone wrong? Thanks for any help you can give.
I have the Abox A1 Plus S905X 2gb/8gb android box. I have the stock image to restore if something goes wrong. Will this rom work on my box? If I need to give additional info please let me know?
thanks
