[ROM] XannyTech Custom Mod Rom + TWRP Recovey built-in - for MINIM8SII and other devices see first post.

[Xannytech]

I'm not sure, but according to the official firmware's name there is a 8723bs chip inside. "cyx_NEXBOX-A95X_S905X_rtl8723bs_8g2g"
And 5 min later, yep, there is rtl8723bs inside, and wifi works just fine.

NO surprise my rom has rtl8723 drivers inside, about BT probably i can't do nothing because should need more than a simple driver, but i'll check something, if it's easy to add, i'll give you some files.

EDIT: HERE are the files for your bluetooth, copy them in the respective directory and give to them permissions 644, reboot an let me know.

Just wanted to say thanks bro for the hard work here. Glad to see some helpful folks outside of XDA. Great build, 1st custom rom on my tv boxes that was actually complete and built right.

I def reccomend this For s905x p212 board M8S Mini II "Board with the Sheep"

Really made the device run extremely well and responsive. Been a great experience over the last week of testing!

Thanks for trying to find a fix. Bluetooth still won't turn on. It's kind of weird, but if it can be of any help, even with new files added, inside settings it would not stay turned on for longer than 10 seconds. So it stays on for like 10 seconds and than turns off on its own, without attempting to establish a connection or pair with other device. Turning it back on will just make it repeat another 10 sec cycle.

That's with the files added or was like this before? because i guessed which bt chip you own

Hi Xannytech. Thank you for your work. I have your ROM on two boxes, and they run flawlessly.

But a friend of mine, just bought one, and installed your latest rom (mine are a little older). His kodi starts playing the video, and about 10 minutes it stops and returns to main screen.

Have you ever encountered this behaviour?

Thanks for replying.

It was the same before these new files were added to the system. Can I do something to check which bt chip is inside the box? Can I do visual inspection?

never happened to me, and never reported here or on xda...

Just a little precisation when you report problem, tell me exactly the simptoms, i lost time to do something total unuseful, is partially my fault because i supposed you bt chip, but if you wrote: "Another thing not working on my device is bluetooth, 2g/8g A95X from gearbest, and I did not see anything in the OP saying that bluetooth is not working."
I'll suppose no working=lacks drivers , i write down these words not just for you but for anyone that report something.

[Xannytech]

!!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!

From now if anyone want to report some problem or dunno you need to write:
- Brand - Device Name;
- Firmware installed flashed + modification to my software settings (eg. different launcher, Xposed extensions etc.);
- Wifi Chip - Bt Chip;
- Sd card as internal memory or not;
- Other hardware attached to the device.

Seems too much but it's faster to understand what's going on and eventually solve, if is a rom problem or a user fault.
If the information are not enough i'll ignore the report.
Sorry but i hope you'll understand

I understand your concern, and agree with you. Still, here we have a bit of misunderstanding and I sincerely appologize for that, so pls let me clarify something because when I said "Another thing not working on my device is bluetooth, 2g/8g A95X from gearbest, and I did not see anything in the OP saying that bluetooth is not working." I meant to say that bluetooth worked with factory firmware and not with this one. And I really never ment to complain because your work is not even meant to be used with my device, only meant to say that it was not functional with custom rom, and that I was not expecting that. That being said, let me report my finding.

A95X 2g/8g - "original", not a "clone"
Firmware - last version of Xannytech's rom for MINIM8SII, no other mod added/installed
WiFi - 8723bs
Bluetooth - unknown at present
Using internal memory for android, running LibreElec from sd card
Hardware attached - usb stick and mouse

Bluetooth works (or it worked) with factory firmware, doesn't work with custom rom. With custom rom it would not stay turned on in settings, or search for another device. When turned on it turns off by it self after 10 sec. It would be nice to have bluetooth operational if possible because there are only two usb ports on A95, and a real bluetooth mouse and keyboard make using device much easier. So far new files/drivers did not work. If I can do something to help, like find out which bluetooth is used let me know. Tnx.

yes could be interesting to know wich bt chip has your device, and the last thing you can try is rename in /system/vendor/lib the module libbt-vendor.so just rename for eg. tuzlak.so
Then reboot and test bt if nothing changes, i need to look into your original fw.

Hi Guys, I need a little help..
I was running v2.3 before and saw that v2.5 was released. I downloaded burn card maker and followed the steps. I put the SD card in the Mini m8s ii and rebooted but it did not update, it just booted in to the normal ROM. I read that some devices require that you preform the tooth pick method so I did and it started updating. After updating it rebooted and I removed the SD card as per instructions

After about 30 mins it seemed to be stuck so I rebooted it... waited another 20 mins and nothing. At this point I decided to go back and restore my backup from TWRP. Did the toothpick method and got stuck at the TWRP splash screen. I tried this several times and same result. I decided to reload v2.3 ZIP via SD card and toothpick. I got the android robot screen but there was no bar on the bottom showing my progress. I tried this several times also and no luck.

Decided to redownload v2.5 img and run the burn card maker again but this time I would get stuck at the TWRP splash screen and no android robot.

Anyone suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:
I tried using USB burning tool with various stock images (109 and 112) as well as v2.5 but I can not even get USB tool to recognize the device. I have tried 3 different male to male USB cables, Windows 10 and 7, as well as different ports on the computer/laptop.

Actually, as nice as you are being, you DID write this rom oriiginaly for the Beelink Mini M8S II. You should just concentrate on that. All these people who keep posting problems are people who keep buying other boxes and trying your rom on it. It's not exactly your problem that they are cross flashing your rom on an unsupported box. You've seriously done more than enough at this point. If people want to use your firmware on unsupported boxes, it's time for them to do so at their own risk.

And these people who keep trying it on the A95X, these boxes are a freaking nightmare as they keep changing the hardware revisions of them. If people want support for those I would suggest they go to ahem, tvboxforums, if I am allowed to say that, as they have a massive, and I mean massive forum there dedicated to those boxes.

You've done your hard work man. I really hope all these people who keep pestering you have been buying you coffee!

Btw, thank you. I know I've said it already, but seriously, thank you for your hard work.

Thanks goes to you, for your help on this thread, but as i wrote many times, if is simple and i can do something it's not a problem, if i have to do everything from scratch and without the possibility to test myself is impossible.

And about coffees and beers... the last version of my rom got just 25$ of donations , it's not a problem, in 6 months of developing that kind of roms i got just 140$ of donations , obviously i'm losting money, working time, sleep time, bills, but i drunk some beers with my friends because i did another work, so it's not a problem mate.
