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

[tombraga]

So i cannot check and control if i have really the new update installed? no place where i can find your date 20180830?

And security patch level is from 20171201 - very old...is that the correct information in your new rom? any answer?

I love so much this rom, working so perfectly, thanks a lot, Guest

That's because my custom ROM is based on the 20180412.194117.V0213 OEM firmware, which is the latest I could find online.

Guest I updated right now to the new rom update_M8S_PRO_L-V0213_Stock-20180830.zip with TWRP and installation running well.

But when i check the Android for example with aida, there is no date 20180830 visible, only the older 20180412 - why??? installation finished ok without any error, then flashing Magisk 17.1, also without any problem.

see the pic with actual rom description

Try to reconnect the hdmi cable.

My son's H96+ would not boot, so yesterday I brought it over to mine, disconnected my Mecool and plugged in the H96 in it's place using the H96+ power supply. Had problems so used a diffrent power supply and H96+ booted and works no problem.

Left The H96+ connected overnight. When I went to use it in the morning same as Mecool box, on TV black screen with message nothing connected via HDMI. Had to disconnect and reconnect power to wake H96+ up.

A bit of coincidence that both the Mecool and H96+ have same issue.

I don't have this problem when I leave my Minix running overnight.

All using the same HDMI cable.

Maybe some setting in the boxes I need to change?

Anyone else having problems with returning from sleep mode on the nano ROM?

I sometimes find my TV screen black with the message that there is no connection, even though my Mecool is displaying the blue light, whatever key I press does not wake it up.

Is this what you mean by returning from sleep mode?

I had this with the Mecool ROM that the box came with as well as this ROM.

I never found the cause or solution.

When you go into settings, then more settings, and enable Bluetooth, it should start searching for any Bluetooth devices. If you have a cell phone with Bluetooth, turn it on and see if your box detects it while it is searching for Bluetooth devices.

clarkss12 Thanks again for your help with getting the remote Bluetooth voice control working with this Rom.

I went back to the Mecool ROM as I found the voice control in this ROM not as slick.

With the Mecool ROM you press voice button on the remote and listening is displayed and it accepts your voice input.

With this ROM when you press the voice button on the remote it opens Google assistant a bit clunky and I found it's voice recognition not as good as the Mecool version.

You need to delete first line that in your picture continue in line #2.
You new 1st line should start with if ota.....

rezip all folder and use this new ZIP as OTA file

Worked a treat thanks, now I am back with Mecool stock ROM.

Useful telling me what my first line should be as in Notepad++ I had to delete lines 1 and 2.

The pic shows what is in the first lines of my Updater Script of the Mecool ROM, which lines should I delete?
