[ROM] Mecool M8S Pro L Stock & Nano Nexus ROM (Android 7.1)

[mayorsly]

Hello,
I'd like to come back to the wifi disconnection issue mentioned a few pages before.
My M8S Pro L is connected to a FRITZ!Box in 2,4 Ghz band and disconnects every 10 minutes (exactly to the second). It has to be the wpa2 key exchange I guess. Could this happen due to the changes in the wpa2 protocol after the KRACK attack last year? And either the router or the M8S has the new protocol intalled and the other one doesn't?
Or does someone has a solution for this?

Try to connect with ethernet or (better), try to connect to other router to check if the same happens again .

See the release notes for information about Google Cast. Basically, it only works from the Chrome browser because the OEM never got a license from Google. There are several 3rd-party apps you can install that will enable casting, though.


@Magendanz Can you please name some of those 3rd-party apps to install that will enable chromecasting?
Thanks a lot
Erika

I'm having issues with the latest version of the software. I don't know why but WIFI drops now and then, that didn't happened on the previous version of the software.

Disconnecting HDMI had no effect, reconnecting HDMI had no effect, disconnecting power and reconnecting box boots OK

That's a common issue with this box. I get it 2x a week. Ses to Depend on if you leave an app running in the foreground and after a while it just freezes and only fix is power reset

I am using stock ROM, I have the Mecool M8S L with voice remote, I did ask in a previous post if I could load this ROM and if I would lose voice control, never got a reply which is why I am still on stock ROM :-(

Guest i love your rom, all is working so great, i don´t have any heating or freezing problems and the apps are running very smooth.

But i have two questions to you, perhaps you can help:

1) Sky Go Germany released a new update of the app and now it is not possible more to run this app on rooted devices,but i need root. So i changed successfully from SuperSu to Magisk 16.0. Now i can hide my Sky Go app and it is running again. But there is other problem, that the app don´t accept to watch on external tv monitor (as i do with HDMI connection). The former version of the app worked and did not give this error, but now i can see the picture running with a big message in front of it.

Have you a possibility to bypass this in your future rom-update to make the app thinking that is no external monitor connected?
As for example on fones or tablets it is running well, because they have their screen integrated as well.


2) The Magix 16.0 is installed correctly, but when i check the SafetyNet Test, the ctsProfile did not pass, why? And what means it? See the anexed picture.
On my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus with LineageOS 14.1 installed (also rooted) i have installed the same Magisk 16.0 verison and the SafetyTest pass all ok.

Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem like Tombraga with Magisk i have a ctsprofile false in the nano stock of magendanz rom...Can anyone help me with this issue?Thank you for reading me an waiting for the reply.

you've never had the unit freeze? or go unresponsive if left idle for a few days? if not you must be turning it off/on daily.

bayarddo, are you using magendaz's rom?

If not megendaz's ROM may have fixed the problem?

I am not using megendaz's ROM as I don't know if I will lose remote voice control.

I have two "L" boxes, one that came with the Bluetooth Voice remote and an older version withOUT the Voice remote. The one WITH Voice is running stock firmware, but modded with a fan. It runs 24/7 and NEVER freezes or reboots (it used to freeze occasionally, before I added the fan, but not sure if adding the fan was the cure).

I have installed Magendanz's latest ATV ROM on my older "L" without the Bluetooth Voice remote, and my Bluetooth Voice remote from my other box WILL pair for Bluetooth control but the mic does not work. When I click on the "mic" button, it brings up the ** assistant **, but she does not ** hear ** me.

So, in other words, I would be afraid like Jeffers, to install a modded ROM onto my Bluetooth Voice remote box, for fear it would kill the Voice portion.

clarkss, thanks for info, these Mecool 912 boxes seem to be prone to overheating problems from what I have read on the web, one of the solutions is fitting a fan like you have done :-) I think it's very disappointing that Mecool have released these boxes with the overheating problem.

Maybe megendanz will bring out a ROM based on the Mecool M8S L voice control ROM :-)

Yes I am using it, but still experience the freezing issue. like someone else said it could be heat related. but I can't verify. I've actually loaded LibreElec on it and its been running smooth for the last 3 days, no freezing.
