[ROM] Beelink Mini MX3 II / M8S II TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV)

Just posted a new release that fixes the issue with the Android TV Play Store (PhoneskyKamikazeCanvas) incorrectly upgrading apps to versions not designed for Android TV.

Hi, sorry to bother you, this is off topic but my generic box is having opposite trouble, it's auto updating to android tv version play store.

Can you give me some ideas how to fix it?

It appears that the problem is having the wrong hardware description. Use /system/etc/permissions/tabet_core_hardware.xml or tv_core_hardware.xml, whichever is appropriate. Also, check your build characteristics in the build.prop file.

I just added an OTA updater as a flash option, which is considerably smaller than the Amlogic burn package used by USB Burning Tool. It also has the advantage of being able to be installed without wiping user data. The ZIP file is signed, and so can be installed in the Update & Backup app, the stock recovery, or TWRP. It's recommended for incremental updates, since user data is preserved. Bootloader, boot partition and system partition are included, but not recovery (just in case something goes wrong).

If you're installing for the first time, you MUST do the full Amlogic burn package because this ROM requires an initial system partition resize. After that, the OTA updater should be fine for incremental updates.

Works for any tv box with amlogic s905x ???

Well, it works for many of them. I've included wireless drivers for the AMPAK AP6255 and Qualcomm QCA9377, but wireless may not function if you have something less common. Also, you may need to replace the remote.conf if you're using a different set of IR codes than normal (but the Bluetooth profiles and Android TV Remote Control app can still drive your box).

To work in another has to be a tv box with update to android 6? Why many tv box stayed on android 5.1

There are older chipsets (e.g. S905, S812) that might still be on Android 4.4, 5.0 or 5.1. However, the S905X and S912 are new enough that they're only supported by Amlogic SDK 6.0, which was delivered on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).

I'll try it on a NEXBOX A95X Amlogic s905x and I'll tell you how it works. Thank you for your work

Hello Magendanz. In rom Feb 26 I did not find any place to set up mode to control the box remotely from cell phones, tablets. Whether it is not available or I do not know how to set up this mode.

Thanks, scooter2014 !! That's great news!

khanhsac , you just need to install and run the Android TV Remote Control app from your phone or tablet and be on the same LAN as your TV box so it can be discovered. There's no UI on the Android TV.

I'm looking at buying a nansii T95K Pro Android TV Box Amlogic S912 , would this rom work for this application or would it need a completely different build

Yes, the Google Play Store for Android TV (PhoneskyKamikazeCanvas) will only purchase apps for the Android TV platform. However, you can still sideload regular Android apps from sites like http://www.apkmirror.com/.

There is Aptoide tv app store maybe you can merge it in your project.... same layout as google tv play store only you cab install sideload apps....
