[ROM] Mecool M8S PRO+ TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1)

[clarkss12]

I've just upgraded my M8S Pro+ (Stock ROM 20171208.183013.V0928, Chip: Samsung 628 KLMAG2GEAC-B031) to latest ATV and it work OK. I didn't notice any problem with youtube yet. But I'd like to ask about something - how can I add app to home screen. Some of the installed apps are automaticly added to "app line" and some of them not. For example when I've installed HBO GO it has been added automacicly (but didn't work in my region), so I installed HBO GO EU version which works OK but I can find this app only in "app draws". Is there any simple way how to add such app to homescreen ? I've noticed also that "option" button on the remote doesn't work so I can't use it like it was in the stock version.

PS after 20 min first Youtube crach

Use a third party "store" like Aptoid, and download and install "TV APP Repo", that will create a linked thumbnail on your main page. Or use your Chrome browser on your Android box and go to this link.

About the YouTube issue, i can confirm that the problem lies with the version of the app from June 18.

If you are on 20171216, uninstall that version from Google Play Store the stock version works fine, and in the options, disable “automatic app updates”.

If you are on the new one, 20180706, you can use the method and APK posted by @Harckan. I recommend downgrade to 20171216.

In my case I upgraded to 20180706, Netflix also stop working, that’s the reason I went back to the old build. Very weird situation.

Good luck.

How did you downgrade to 20171216. I don't have reset button and don't want to open this box again but if it's necesary I'll do that. What is te right way to do this downgrade.

My Samsung Chip is SEC 713 KLMAG1JENB B041.

Is it a faulty one?

Will this ROM work on it?

Hi everone, allandacruz89, gekeer, pdjm

I solved the problem with YouTube, version stock new ROM 2.02.14 is the problem.

1. Remove YouTube stock. I remove with ES File Explorer in root options.
2. Reboot
3. Install apk YouTube TV version 2.02.08 link above.
4. Run fine

ps. disable automatic update in google play store

suarez23 , I have Mecool M8S Pro + with Bad Batch Samsung, I clean installed this new Build and run fine in this time, better than the previous build, no crash or reboot.

I have found "root explorer" but still don't know what and where to delete. Could you write where can I find correct catalog and file?

If so, I will not upgrade by now. I'll wait for a stable version then.

Can anyone confirm that M8S Pro+ (Stock ROM 20171208.183013.V0928, Chip: Samsung 628 KLMAG2GEAC-B031) works stable with the latest ATV rom? I have to say that it works very well with stock firmware unfortunalely the UI is a joke. I'd like to use ATV rom, especially it is based on this rom. Any experience ?

Works flawlessly! Except, as the as friend above commented, Youtube that stops ramdonly without any specific action. The same strange behavior with YouTube occurs in M8S Pro ATV (S912). I have both boxes, so seems it is a problem with VideoStrong firmware...
