In the spirit of the Pure Nexus Project, these TVStock Nexus ROMs deliver the pure Android TV experience using the Open GApps TVStock Package. The goal is to keep true to Google's vision and use the bare minimum of OEM or third-party apps or add-ons, which can be added ?* la carte by the user as needed, just as I've done with the Stock and Nano variants. I believe these ROMs are stable enough for general use, but don't be surprised if some features from the Nexus Player or NVIDIA Shield TV aren't fully implemented. This will be particularly true of features that require a secure platform (Widevine Level 1) for DRM requirements.

TVStock variant includes:

• Open GApps TVStock Package
• Open GApps Nano Package
• Google Chrome Browser (replaces stock/AOSP Browser)
• App Drawer 1.0 from CyanogenMod/LineageOS
• Terminal app from LineageOS
• TWRP Recovery 3.2.3-0 by TeamWin

• Added support for all HID devices (e.g. remotes, gamepads, etc.) on latest Nougat firmware for Nexus Player, NVIDIA Shield TV & Xiamoi Mi Box

Changelog (20170930):

• Updated to latest M8S Pro L OEM firmware (20170918.111557.V0619)
• Reverted to stock OEM recovery, due to new Android Verified Boot checks
• Underlying OEM firmware fixed the Action Bar bug in Android TV
• Underlying OEM firmware fixed the More Settings crash in Android TV

• Flash burn package with Amlogic USB Burning Tool v2.0.8 or BootcardMaker v2.0.0.2

Notes:

• The updater is signed, and so can be installed in the Update app, the stock recovery, or TWRP. It's designed for incremental updates, since user data is preserved. If you're installing for the first time, you should include a data wipe.
• The safest bet is always to install the full Amlogic burn package with USB Burning Tool.
• Flash ROMs at your own risk and always remember to back up your data first. The burn package includes a factory reset.

hello friends I'm using M8S PRO 32 GB. If you have video explaining the installation from start to finish, don't know how to link help.

Thank you for this topic Magendanz !

Very easy and fast to install !

They're not built with a makefile, just a bunch of custom scripts and a very manual process that I've never had time to document.

[villasg]

Thanks for best rom/job
I have a question : How can i reboot to TWRP for install MAGISK ? ?

[Dmitry_N]

Hi there,

Does anyone have problems rebooting the device (only on the latest firmware, which is 20180830)? If I turn it off and then back on, then everything is fine.
If I reboot the device (long press the power button on the remote and choose reboot), then the box starts rebooting but gets stuck on those funny animated circles, which then should turn into the "ANDROID" letters, but they just won't. The animation stays forever until I pull the cord.
On 20180310, I didn't have anything like that.

I have 20170801.150811.V0321) installed but when trying to update 20180412.194117.V0213 it won't let me kept saying errors when trying to flash..

My understanding is twrp does not come installed with stock firmware and updates are done using the update app provided.however since it is not working for you for some reason then yes you can use burning tool to install newer version.if you do you will have to reinstall any apps you have added to existing firmware.
