Wait... what is this?!? Android 8 ATV in a s912?!?! cant be... nooo... cant be...
No dont ask.. it is in WIP stage...
I figured it would get around being done. There are many devs that play with kernels, once a good kernel is done, most of the base firmware is already done, maybe a recompile of source libs to make ARM8a 64 system up and running.
The only drawback with 8.0 for me, is that I figured out how to make 7.1.2 work perfectly for my needs, along with all the xposed modules I use. I have a funny feeling 8.0 won't play well with my older modules. As I am barely able to use them on 7.1.2, with some selective hand picking of early versions.
well it took me 2 days to get it done to this stage... i need to stop now so i can focus on my paid work again :/
Are you Thinking in a public release for the working build or... ? I know that 8.0 is going to be a pain because google was a bit sloppy on the source code, many issues with released builds for 8.0 for other devices, 8.1 has already some fixes implemented maybe worth's looking at, any way, has you know xioami and nvidia had many problems with 8.0 so 8.1 builds are on the make from their side, we'll see, any way thanks for sharing your news, they're great...
well not this build since i cant rls it, is private source...(you see i removed in about picture kernel names... build server i use for work...) and im not going to do their work... when they rls the a stock android 8 rom i will then make a android tv build for it.
About 8.0... well actually mibox is working great with it... and yes it do have some problems, but not the end of the world... since are workable problems, but the main problem is s912 implementation from amlogic that is... a mess... mainly because of kernel instability ( lots of kernel panics... )

Hi superceleron
Thanks for your support with this ATV firmware.
How is the state of the amlogic kernel?
Are there still problems with the hw codec? (e.g. some videos are pixelated blocky, ac3 sound is problematic for hw rendering in some application(e.g. Plex))
blocky playback: it is interesting that Kodi (16) with amcodec doesn't have this pixelation issue.
There is an other custom atv rom I've found which could be compatible with H96Pro+

Is it possible to run a firmware from an USB drive (for testing). Like you can run a Windows 10 from an USB drive.
Well kernel on what android? if its android 7, pretty good since is a already old kernel....
About kodi 16 and playback, that is because that kodi 16 used amcodec and that was removed in kodi 17....(you need to ask them why)
That rom dunno i dont know, i never use other ppls roms, only my owns or stock...
Do you intend to update our H96 Pro Plus with Oreo ATV? When do you think you share ATV Oreo
Well i do when they make a stock android 8 rom... im not going to do for them!
But dont get you hopes up for more than A8.0.. because looks like Android 8.0 it will be the last for s905x and s912 chips....

I mean is it the kernel in Android 8 fixed regarding the hw codec? Or the same problems occur?
Hi SuperCeleron, I was having issues with one of my H96 boxes so I backed up a working one and restored it to the one which wasn't working properly.
The issue I'm now facing is that they now have the same wireless mac address, however the box is working much better. How can I change the MAC address back please?
I've not rooted the ROM.
I've managed to change the Bluetooth address without an issue so it is simply the Wireless.
I can find the wireless mac address (once booted) in /sys/class/net/wlan0/address but can't replace that without rooting and it's not there if I reboot into recovery.

Really fixed only in 8.1.
