One strange thing i noticed after the update (as told in #137).
i use the last version of FTMC for some months now without any issue. Yesterday, it was the first time i used it (after the update) and the UI of ftmc is in 1280x720 resolution, so all videos i tried (no matter what resolution they are), played in a small square , upleft on my 43" uhd tv screen. I cannot change the ui into fhd or uhd because there is no option in ftmc settings. The same happened in SPMC, but it was possible to change the ui , so the video played in full screen. No problems detected in original kodi. Is there something i can do, because ftmc is my favorite?
Thank you.

P.s. I unistalled and installed ftmc some times, reboot the box some times, i disconnected and connected hdmi sometimes but no fix!

Why are you using FTMC?

Why are you using FTMC?

I use on the same box kodi, spmc & ftmc with three different builds (testing and playing) and i like ftmc more. Until know, it's useless.

I have used FTMC on my Rockchip boxes, but always the store version of Kodi on these newer Amlogic boxes. SPMC, would not passthrough HD Audio on this box.

Hi Magendanz, thank you for you great work.
I have ordered the - "M8S Pro L" version of the box, don't sure when I will receive it, but when I do, I want to burn your stock rom right away... So, I just wanted to ask, when will you release a version for "M8S Pro L" also? Thanks.

It's already available here: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...android-tv-7-1

I want to use live wallpapers but i cant. There is no such options in settings. Is it possible to do this?

[arkashkin]

Magendanz, i mean not the android tv rom but the one with the regular play store...

I'm just copying Nano and Stock variants up for the M8S Pro L now. Give me about an hour to get it posted.

UPDATE: It's now posted: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...android-tv-7-1

I downloaded the last version of LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and copied it into the /system/app and gave the right permisions (rw-r-r), with es explorer but anytime i am trying to set a livewall paper, it crashes. Am i doing something wrong? What other version should i try? Any tip?
Do you think is a firmware problem or it can be fixed somehow?
Thank you

Have you deodexed the source LiveWallpapersPicker.apk? (There should be no "oat" subdirectory.) Also, check the SELINUX permissions (object_r:system_file:s0).

[zenix]

Thank you Mag, but really i didnt understand a lot.

Hello! Can someone tell me how to properly activate sleep/standby function with 0321 Stock version of this ROM, because now when I press the power button on my remote it turns the box completely off...

And my other question is - which rom is better 0321 or 0619?
Because with OEM 0619 I have spontaneous artifacts in video playing (Kodi, media player) , but not in 0321...

The reboot on wake from sleep is listed in the Known Issues section of the release notes. It's been a longstanding problem with these VideoStrong firmware releases.

Guest no, I haven't had any luck with the rom you pointed me @ post #130.1
Both script edited attempts, and any others throw an error code 7.
All I can think is I need to remove any reference to the buildprop from the update? Or is it possible to find my buildprop parameters in my remaining files.
Confirming what specific device detail is the target.
Idk if that's possiprobly? I've read a bit re: e#7, but hoping for your direction.
++ Again, I believe I repacked zip for "m8sPro" properly....
at least once ?

I've flashed M8S_PRO-V0619_Nano-20171103.img everything seems to be working ok so far but I have come across a problem with live wallpapers.
I have installed several different live wallpapers.
They install without errors and come up in the wall paper picker for selection but when I click on them I get "app not installed" error.
Anyone else getting this???

Yes, we need to add the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk back in. That's been left out of most of the OEM Nougat ROMs, so I've left it out of my custom ROMs. I thought they'd retired it, but there's obviously still some demand.

Magendanz, your nano rom is really awesome!
Would you tell me how to remove Google Nexus Launcher? I tried with some system app remover from google play store, but it cannot remove it completely...
I cannot set a new wallpaper in TVLauncher, the default nexus one keeps overwriting it...

Just go to TWRP File Manager and delete /system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.
