No, That´s the main reason that i do not use this rom. I believe someday Xanny will cook one especifically for a95x. In the meantime try thisone

I couldn't get my remote to work using this one. I used es file explorer to copy the remote.conf to system\etc is there something else I've to do on that rom to fix it?

I have the x96

For X96 try this remote.conf

Will that ROM fixes the passthrough issue reported by Kodi ? when checking Xanny ROM the passthrough fix is not working

[joao.feijo]

i didn´t test.

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)

For X96 try this remote.conf

I tried that there and it still isn't working. It works for me no problem on xannytechs rom. Is it the same path system\etc it has to be put in?

[joao.feijo]

Yes, are you sure that the old one was replaced ?
Delete first, check, copy, check, reboot
If doen´t work yours hardware bootloader will be incompatible with the rom.

Must be what's wrong so. The xannytech one seems the fastest to far but the only thing is the power button won't power the box on. The stock firmware and others seem to choose 4k2ksmpte (really low framerate) on auto also, but the xannytech chooses the correct one of 4k2k60hz. If I replaced the kernel or uboot on the xannytech with the stock one would that make the power button on the remote work or is that not how it works?

Maybe, in Amlogic Customization tey replacing the uboot files and repack

i copied new file using root explorer now its working, but the power button to turn on is not working, i have to manually turn on by unplugging and plugging back, any solution for this ?

Why do you want to turn off the box? The S905x uses a max of 5 watts of power. That's it. Uses less power than your xbox or tv does in standby! Leaving it on will not increase your electricity bill by millions. You won't even notice it. Serious.

Power implementation is bit better than on MINI M8S too, mostly thanks to added option to go to standby mode. That means I could go into and out of power on/off, and standby using the remote control. Power consumption was measure with a power meter in 6 different configurations:

• Power off – 0.4 watt
• Standby – 0.4 watts
• Idle – 2.4 watts
• Power off + USB HDD – 1.1 watt
• Standby + USB HDD – 0.4 watt
• Idle + USB HDD – 4.1 to 5.2 watts

It looks rather good. The only oddity is that Power off with USB hard drive consumes more than in standby, and there does not appear to be advantages (in terms of power consumption) of going into power off mode, instead of standby. Standby will also save you some time, as you don’t need to wait for 30 seconds to boot. Power off might be a little safer for your data, depending on how the firmware has been implemented.

I tried with Kodi but the passthrough issue not fixed for Kodi 17, still no audio for DTS audio, anyone had success on Kodi 17 passthrough ?

You should be using SPMC with these boxes, NOT Kodi. SPMC is written by the android dev from Kodi. He left because of infighting and now Kodi DOES NOT HAVE PROPER ANDROID SUPPORT!

Please use SPMC instead.

Also only the -H versions of these processors has the proper license for DTS. None of these boxes have the S905X-H processor. Getting DTS support will be hit or miss. ATMOS and TRU HD will also be a gamble.

Got it, now understood, i have a different test build for Kodi 17 with DTS hack i will it for now

That actually done it for me. Only thing is recovery seems to be broken but I can just reinstall that. I just replaced all 3 boot files and the power button works

Actually at this for too long I had the wrong post quoted. Probably confused everyone

OK so I have everything working but TWRP and the recovery button (I just get a droid with an x). I can access default recovery via reboot recovery and the remote doesn't work to control the recovery, but that doesn't really matter because if everything works properly I shouldn't need to go into recovery anyway. Still it'd be nice to fix it but the remote and display refresh rate switching is more important for now.

Hi any step by step instruction on repacking it'll be brilliant to get full remote on A95x with Xanny rom.
