Worked fine on my DDR3 Box flashed via SD Card

[Shonk]

Oh and FYI

The H96 Pro+ is made by Shenzhen Goodidea Technology (hcygood.com) and by default come with the 4k branding
Gearbest opted for free oem branding and had alfawise printed on the top

There are multiple options 16-64gb DDR4/DDR3 etc
or no choice on the ram and you get what you get
nand you get what they have on the day

ddr3 is still being made mine was built on the 08/08/2017

com.droidlogic.SubTitleService was using a constant 12% or so cpu time on my device
then another 12% or so on the system log

removing the SubtitleService from /system/SubtitleService and a reboot fixed this
log isnt going mad now either

Im not sure if this is a problem with the H96 Pro+ firmware (most prob not)
Its most prob down to the junk i removed below on first setup of android)

Then reset to factory defaults straight after doing this

Something else worth mentioning Linux has an mmc HS400 corruption bug so limits maximum speed to 200mb as a lazy fix

Good explanation, of what goes on.
Pretty common knowledge if people think about it.
These things can change in an instant at times and that's the fun part of trying to sort it out.

Hi there, is this ROM an improvement over the older versions?
Are there still issues with hidden menu's like "HOME" to change launchers,
Air mouse speed settings only in hidden menu,
LAN Connection not connecting until one reboots,
Bluetooth bombing out?
Reboot softkey shutting down unit completely?

[Shonk]

Lan (Ethernet) is fine
Launcher change is still a problem for Launchers that use the wallpaper service
rest i have no idea

[leptdre]

is the UI 4k or not. i wasn't able to set the UI to 4K , the HDMI signal is 4k 60 FPS but the UI is 1920x1080 in cpu z and kodi ???

your getting confused its 4k
but it has to scale the ui or everything will be tiny
its set at ro.sf.lcd_density=240
thats just for the ui
video's and such are 4k

[leptdre]

so how can I get 4k to york in youtube then ???

[Shonk]

you need the latest android tv youtube apk
com.google.android.youtube.tv 2.01.04

i used this one checked it at virus total but can never be 100%
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-apk-download/

standard youtube for android only gives me 1080p
this gives me 4k even though im at 1080p looks very crisp

it stops the youtube link on the launcher working though so you have make a new shortcut

also not sure how to hide the top bar atm

[leptdre]

thanks for the video man, i noticed that the hardware decoder is outputting in 4k even if the interface still 1080p

your viewport will say 3840x2160 as your tv is 4k
my tv is only 1080p

[BR6]

Hi Shonk, what settings did you use in sd card maker? erase bootloader ticked or not?

[leptdre]

your viewport will say 3840x2160 as your tv is 4k
my tv is only 1080p

Noo the view port will say 1080p (1920x1080 60hz) even if you set the box at 4k .

The hardware decoder will only output decoded videos in 4k and not the interface

[Shonk]

Hi Shonk, what settings did you use in sd card maker? erase bootloader ticked or not?

i have done both both work fine

if you update the bootloader it looks like it has crashed at start
it hasnt its updating the bootloader whatever you do dont touch it
