[ROM] Z4 RK3368 - android TV (ATV) for Andoer Z4 - ENY EKB368 - Acemax AK838 - Tronfy X6

@ trebor

I found the first bug. APP2SD does not work at the moment. Maybe this causes your error messages when installing Apps from aptoide!?
And I think I know already what's the reason of the issue. Missing feature by the kernel 3.10.0 by yablrar. if I find time I will check / patch imy own kernel or that one from yablrar.


@ elzeger

V1.5 by yablrar is based on UGOOS UT4 V1.1.2
See here for release notes: http://ugoos.net/blog/ugoos-ut4-update-v112-release

My version is based on UGOOS UTV V1.1.4 TV
So you have to check release notes of V1.1.3 & V1.1.4 to see what is new or fixed when using my ROM version.

And the BIGGEST different is the launcher, because my ROM version has the Google android TV leanback launcher included.
All ROMs with this launcher, can't use any other alternative launcher. (forced by google)
This is to get the real leanback remote TV experience with voice support.

What´s differences to Z4_UGOOS_MOD_V1.5_by_yablrar.img ?
is it better?
Android version is 5 or 6 ?

I installed aptoide to install some other apps...
When used the app I was installing would advise not enough room?
Using Playstore same app installed ok
Some permissions may not be correct but guessing only, not up on all this that goes on in these Roms

Using the Zidoo x6 pro so remote not to friendly normally use a keyboard it fair but also not 100%

But all good a bit fun keep at it..

Thanks

THX for the feedback. I added Google Play Music also to the above app list.
And yes I didn't installed it, because the app has no banner icon at the home screen.
So you have to create your own, as you already did.

But maybe I will put it to the next version of the rom.

Installed and Looking OK
I note Google Music not there
Installed from Playstore but did not create the Desktop Icon.

Created the icon with the above www ok.

Would have thought Play Music was a given
Thanks
