      You can certainly update using the UPDATE application, but it will replace the logo screen and boot animation. (I'm using the standard Nougat boot animation.)

      If you really like the MECOOL boot animation, the ROM is rooted and so you can just swap it back. It's located at system/media/bootanimation.zip.

    Dear Magendanz, how can it enable standard Mecool UI?
    btw what diffrent between Mecool M8S Pro TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1) and Mecool M8S Pro Stock & Nano Nexus ROMs (Android 7.1)...

      If you want the standard Mecool UI, then install the stock OEM firmware. If you want standard Nexus UI, install Nano or Stock variant, and if you want Nexus Player UI (Android TV), then install TVStock.

    Many thanks for your stellar contributions.
    running the 09/18 ver.

    An audio "pop" had started...associated with vids starting, @ unpause, and other window actions.
    wiring and hardware in setup is all correct.
    - any ideas? Where to start troubleshooting?

    Also, if anyone knows.,.
    - Any way to remove google search bar?
    - Why Cannot a 64gb $D card be initiated & used?

    Again. Kudos x10´.

      I'm feeling kinda supid right now, but where is the Update App for OTA update? Can't seem to find it, only the Update under Settings where you can't point to a file. I'm on an older version of the Stock version. Can't remember this problem originally - maybe it's been accidentally uninstalled?
      Note: I don't have male 2 male usb cabel, and I'm only using a Logitec Harmony remote as I almost only use LIBREELEC, for now.

        I haven't found an OTA Update app that I like yet, so you're stuck installing OTA updates using TWRP. Type "reboot recovery" in Terminal, swipe to allow changes, click Install, select the source (SD card or USB flash drive with your .zip file), and swipe to install. I also recommend using Wipe after that to do a factory reset.

      Select: I'm on an older version of the Stock version. Can't remember this problem originally...

      What is your FW Date?
      5/24 /17 had the option to apply a local.
      1st time the system wanted only look to SD.
      next time looked to USB....Wth !??
      Moved zip to exterior storage.,..Viola, done.

        Sorry. I see that I posted in the wrong forum as I have the MeCool Pro +, a 905x chipset.
        But are you saying that you solved a problem by moving the OTA update to USB istead of SD card? Did you use TWRP then or something else?

          The 912 Pro update window has OTA, and local option...
          Did have to get the update on USB or SD,
          I forget whichever worked now.
          Then the factory ui was able to see, access and execute the update correctly w/o TWRP.
          This flashed one of M's ROMs and acquired root.
          Since, all been through TWRP in Recovery.

            Hi there,

            I'd like to try to flash this on my Vorke Z1, which is currently running Vorke's Z1-Userdebug 7.1.1 NMF26Q 20170428.150912.V0222 build as was delivered to me. This build seem flaky at best (no sleep, apps hanging etc.).
            Do you think it's worth me trying Magendanz's ROM on my box even though it's not a Mecool M8S Pro? Seems like the same hardware? I've installed TWRP, but I'm I'm running linux on my laptop and don't have access to Windows. Can I get away with flashing one of the OTA updates from TWRP?

            Also, I'm a bit confused about the latest change to this ROM using the ATV firmware. I want to be able to use touchscreen keymappers (like tincore) to simulate screen strokes for some games that don't support physical controllers. My understanding is that ATV does not come bundled with the wares to support touch/multitouch/fake touch. Does this ROM?

            thanks

              I think you'd have better luck starting with this ROM: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...android-tv-7-1

              As for the touch screen support (or fake touch screen), the ATV boxes definitely won't support. In fact, if you try to enable the feature in /etc/permissions, you'll end up with a bunch of strange behavior in the Google Play Store.

            Mag, Thanks to yur Rom-magic, I'm seeing a real impressive box-healing.
            Running 09.18 ubug: c__d. Codename: REL. This your latest "precious" ? ...l expected to see it dated 10.05

            Previously, you kinda praised the 08.25nano ...it refuses to flash. Any ideas? Or am I better with the 09.18?

            Any tweak to ;
            - Remove google search bar?
            - Add swipe up to bring up lower action bar, after hiding?
            - Force mounting of All ext. Storage @ boot? This sometimes better, but a conflict is present.
            -- Finally, l believe in build prop ed that 32bits is what's operating. S/B 64, yes? Can / should it be changed?

            10 fold bro-

              The V0169 build is a big improvement (and is upgrade to 7.1.2), so I definitely recommend that one.

              The Google Search bar is an element of the launcher, whether Google Now or Pixel Launcher, and I don't make modifications to those. If you like the swipe-up for the nav bar, that's in the "precious" ROM, but for this device I actually prefer this one. (Precious is great for running on many different configurations, but that's not really an issue here.) You've got the persist.fw.force_adoptable=true in this build.prop, and so mounting external storage shouldn't be an issue.

              As for 32-bit vs. 64-bit, we've found that the 32-bit versions run cooler with fewer compatibility issues and generate ROMs that are smaller because of less code bloat. And, with only 3GB RAM, we're not really hitting a limitation on address space yet. Some may argue that 64-bit is faster, but I'm still not convinced.


            20171005. IS precious,
            09.18 is not. It is updated 08.25?

            TWRP seemed to default away from 10.05.
            Instead, re-flashing 20170918.
            Multiple attempts led to confusion about build date seen.

            It Works very well so far, and has tamed the box substantially. Refining nougat always a good thing.

            Clarify please. There is no issue running SuPro or TWRP... but, Do Not update version?
            btw,
            ES file pro rarely able to find SD card.
            Copying, moving, space availability is laborious at best.

              I installed 10.05 stock today (by erasing data and cache and flashing the zip from recovery, as the USB Burning Tool produced errors with my laptop).
              Works well... except that I can't install Netflix. Play Store doesn't find it at all... If I navigate straight to a known version of the app in the store, it says "isn't supported on your device".
              Thoughts?

                Try this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/

                Whenever I have issues with apks either with Stock or Android TV Roms I just download the apks from apkmirror.

                    Guest , when you say ATV boxes, you mean the hardware, or Googles' OS? It's just that I've seen "Fixed touch screens support" on the changelog of the following Rom of superceleron for the same box you refer to.



                    Do you think I should try that?

                      I mean Google's Android TV OS. Those features should work on any non-ATV ROM, such as the one in your link or the Nano or Stock Nexus variants here.

                    So, to try either of those on my Vorke Z1 (just to clarify) Guest .
