[ROM] Beelink GT1 / Alfawise S92 TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 6.0)

[tillaz87]

Minor update today mainly to address the lack of D-pad navigation support in Gboard. Please let me know if you spot any issues.

Changelog (20170606):

• Switched from spoofing the Xiaomi Mi Box to the Nexus Player.

if your spoofing the nexus player in build.prop since its intel, x86 apps might be downloaded, which will mess stuff up badly if they don't have support for arm. similar thing happened to me like posed above with iplayer.

I know google play services has x86 versions so would keep an eye on that as it will be the first to update and cause issues

the version codes for google play services (atv versions) all start with

876- = x86
886- = x86_64

836- = arm (this is what it should be)
846- = arm64

The CPU architecture is still correctly reported in the build.prop as ARM, but I'll keep an eye out for this. (So far I haven't discovered any apps that get it wrong.) No spoofing effort is 100% foolproof, but I've tried to strike a balance between impersonating the model/manufacturer of a mainstream device and potentially confusing the Play Store and updaters that need to know the actual hardware architecture.

Apparently, what I've done is good enough for Google, as they now send an email congratulating me on my Nexus Player purchase after completing the setup wizard and I see several new apps in the Play Store for Android TV that were previously unavailable.

its normally only games that are affected as if available it can download / use the cache (data or obb) for powerVR rather than Mali GPU
In my case with just spoofing ro.product.manufacturer to NVIDIA for iplayer it would download / use cache for tegra rather than mali and games were messed up

Thanks TILLAZ for the apps.. I've downloaded them as I write this... so you can clear it off your google drive if I'm the last one to get it.

Just need to plug a mouse into the USB port on the box

Then (left click and hold) swipe to allow modifications.


Select install zip

Go to the location of the WiFi update.zip, select it and again it will ask to swipe to install, do this and Then reboot.

I'm not sure about adb as it needs to replace the boot.img

Thanks again

Some final changes i made.

etc\permissions
com.google.android.dialer.support.xml has been removed so framework/com.google.android.dialer.support.jar needs removed

etc/permissions
com.google.android.maps.xml and framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
this is not part of atv but maps might work if sideloaded not sure what use though. i personally removed it

same for
framework/com.google.android.media.effects.jar
priv-app/MusicFX
etc/permissions/com.google.android.media.effects.xml

etc/permissions/com.google.android.pano.v1.xml framework/com.google.android.pano.v1.jar
not sure what this is as its only in the nexus player and the .jar is practically an empty file.
again i just removed it as following the mibox since its official atv for amlogic (noticed no change so far)

etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.front.xml removed this as its for front facing camera hardware

etc/permissions/android.software.print.xml not part of atv

etc/permissions/android.software.live_wallpaper.xml not part of atv

etc/permissions/android.software.backup.xml not part of atv

etc/permissions/amlogic_hardware.xml not needed

remove etc/
lowmemorykiller.txt
lowmemorykiller_512M.txt
2G is ony one used

etc/Third_party_apk_camera.xml config for some random Chinese app. not needed
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mobileqq&hl=en

Removed system/lib/ libwfd_jni.so - part of miracast app

Careful removing the MusicFX stuff. When I pulled that earlier, I lost some Dolby/DTS pass-through features.

Where did you notice this? I don't use any music apps so hard for me to notice any differences. Video playback seems fine.

Hello Magendanz!

I need a little help...

I own a Beelink GT1 and a Beelink Mini MXIII-II, both with QCA9377-chipset.

Now I just need the right TWRP.img-files for both boxes to make first of all a Nandroid-Backup of my existing Stock Roms before installing your custom roms. Which ones are the right ones to install?

Thank you in advance!

hi
link for download AP6255 for last update seems dead
Thank you for taking a look

[Guest]

@Magendanz any idea why a source built rom for nexus player has widevine L1? I just just checked with drm info and was surprised as i thought this was not possible with unlocked bootloader and root etc.

I was screwing around trying to get Widevine L1 working with some private keys that I'd obtained for other hardware, but it didn't work. You'll notice that in the last release that I'm back to the original OEM L3 libs.

Looks like I just inadvertently deleted it while cleaning up old files on the OneDrive share. It's fixed now, though. Here's a link: update_GT1_111M0_AP6255-20170523.zip

Note that this is still based on GT1_111M0, which is the last version that Beelink has released for the AP6255 (A912).

Thank's à lot

Magendanz, thank you for your amazing work. Our TV boxes are now of a much more value. The UI of Nexus isbetter in my opinion and the box is also more responsive.
I still have one issue. Whatever I have tried I can not get Youtube to display 4K content. I even modified the build.prop to add sys.display-size=3840x2160 but it makes no difference.
Is there a solution known for this issue?
If I ran youtube in Chrome and select 4K it crashes Chrome.

I'm a bit at a loss troubleshooting 4K issues, since I don't have a 4K TV. (Anyone want to send me one?) I placed the property in the build.prop because that's what I've been told works, but I haven't had any reports other than yours.
