Beelink SEA I TV Box Realtek 1295 Quad Core CPU - 2GB+16GB

[KAA]

Not possible as Realtek doesn't release source code for the hardware.
Only small modifications will be possible.
If Beelink doesn't provide the same quality firmware updates as Zidoo then you can just as well get a Zidoo X9S
Will be interesting to see how(or if) they support it.
But looks good so far.

this box missing bottom navigation.. can someone add this feature...thanks

From what I understand, Realtek don't open their sources to everybody, so it may be Beelink that has to come up with a firmware update to resolve it.

To get the navigation bar back it may be as simple as editing the build prop, Unless it has been stripped from the system UI app too.

In the Build prop there is this line

rkt.screen.HidenavigationBar=1

It could be as simple as changing the 1 to a 0

But with the lack of the stock firmware I would not advise changing anything in there as its so easy to get stuck in a boot loop by messing with the build prop One mistake & you will be boot looping (Soft Bricked)

For now your best waiting for the stock firmware to become available

These tests were done on the Original Thermal unit and temps getting into the 80c area when pushed
Will now do some more testing with modified thermal pad to see if things are sea worthy.

spec mention ALUM.. reality metal with galvanize coating

[trebor]

Yep its a hotty thats for sure, very warm on the under side of PCB, and being near the HDD not helping.
More Vents as you say, atop a laptop cooler must improve things.

[Johndoff]

The bottom menu is disappeared as I can't adjust it, but through the keyboard I can screen, multitasking switch, anyone know other function with keyboard?

[KAA]

Fn F1 = Home
Fn F12 = print screen
vol = used remote
close = remote
