Is there any info floating around as far as custom roms that will work on this particular box? http://www.banggood.com/H96-Plus-Aml...p-1058936.html
My searches are coming up empty. I have one that I bought relatively cheap to try out, and the hardware seems OK. The stock firmware is terrible though! The play store will not allow me to install anything, everything says it's not compatible. It came with Kodi installed, but it's loaded with a ton of crap I will never use. Same with most of the other preinstalled apps on the box. I ended up grabbing the APK for a few apps and installed them that way, and it seems to work, but I have no idea if they will update properly through the play store or not. Wifi seems to work well enough, there's plenty of USB ports that work well. I'm even powering mechanical USB drives off the box, but I needed to replace the stock power brick with one capable of more amps to do so. The stock loader is much like many other similar boxes, and it sucks just as bad... lol There is no top or bottom bars either, and I can't figure out how to enable those. I hear notifications tons occasionally, but can't find a way to view them.
The firmware in it's stock for is seriously crippling what looks like a pretty good device as far as hardware goes. I would love to load a better custom ROM on it, but am new to all this. If it helps figure out if this is a clone, rebranded, or compatible with some other box I would be happy to get any more info requested, as well as pictures inside and out. Just let me know!
Thanks in advance for any help and advice with this one!
