      Nano Nexus ROM posted in this thread will give you phone OS ... the Stock rom comes as an androidTV flavor which sucks bad

        Sadly i don't think that there is a way to run normal play store on ATV boxes, i will try to do it, but probably it is not possible and i don't want to make big changes so i recommend to stick to ATV rom if your box is an ATV box from the start and find some workarounds, for now i know 2 of them: (beside the oblivious one, download apk to pen drive and install on device)

        - use google play website on the account you use on the box, this way you can choose to install on it from the website level, BUT, some app maybe incompatible, BUT again, you can change some lines in build.prop to cheat the system and be let say, a samsung phone..

        - use this app as a better store https://f-droid.org/packages/com.git...min.yalpstore/ on the box, it has build in account, it doesn't look so nice like normal play store and don't have all those recommended sections, BUT, you can download and install almost any app and it can check for updates just like the normal play version, it is in fact an open source play store version and have also an option to disguise as other supported device, it just works on the box, search, install, done, no pc or other android phone or usb drive needed.

        P.S. and if you install Yalp Store be sure to do it thru f-droid as it will also auto update the Yalp Store itself.

            Perfect and fast installation with TWRP, the rom + Magisk 14.0 - very smooth installation without any issues

            Guest thanks a lot for your great job. Also i have now the TWRP 3.2.1-0 - wonderful. - only the dates are not correct of the backup file-names, but the backup seemed to finish normally in TWRP which i made right now.
            See the picture. With the older TWRP 3.1.1 the backup filenames and dates were correct.

            I flashed with Magisk 14.0 because some time ago i tried with 14.5 and it did not work, got big problems. Now there is the 15.5 Magisk stable out, someone tried to install it on this box with Magendanz rom?
            I am afraid to try without any informations before.

              any way to fix the wifi speed or this is a hardware issue?
              although it's connected to an 5Ghz network @ 433Mbps the speed is slow as hell.
              A speedtest reveals only 50MB/s download. Also when I download from store it seems to go like with 1MB/s to download any app.
              disabled bluetooth,but same deal...

                I have the same problem. Wifi very, very slow. It got a bit better when I disabled wifi encryption but it is only temporary solution. Any ideas how to improve wifi speed?

                  Thanks, installing the nano ROM did solve some weird problems I've had with Plex on this box. Plex does make a lot of assumptions when it detects Android TV and some of them were obviously wrong for the M8S but for some reason, the Plex devs thinks it's a great idea to hide settings from the user when on Android TV.

                  Great job, much appreciated!

                    Guest perhaps you did not see my comments concerning wrong backup filename with TWRP 321 new versjon? (but TWRP is working fine, only the backup filename is wrong)

                    SORRY, i made now the backup once more and now all dates and filenames are correct, strange, very strange. I don´t understand, the 1. time i made backup with this new TWRP 3.2.1-0 the filename was wrong, see my picture above.

                    OK, important is, that all works fine now, thanks once more for this great rom.

                      Good, since I wasn't looking forward to debugging TWRP source. I have enough challenges just building it.

                    Does this firmware carry drivers for AP6255 wireless or is it limited to one of the other wireless flavours. Thanks, Ynot

                      This is based on the OEM firmware from VideoStrong, not the Shiningworth All-in-One ROM, so it's only got support for the QCA9377 wireless chipset.

                    Link of the Burn package Nano variant is pointed to 20171202 version instead of 20180109. Link of Stock variant is ok.
                    Could you update the link of Nano to the newest build?

                    Thanks in advance.

                    Hi @Magendanz Just installed new update_M8S_PRO_L-V0928_Nano-20180109.zip
                    you said in a previous post "I'm now setting "persist.sys.app.rotation=original", which I believe is also the default."
                    Just to let you know this update update_M8S_PRO_L-V0928_Nano-20180109.zip is still setting "persist.sys.app.rotation=force_land"
                    I went into build.prop and manually changed the entry to "persist.sys.app.rotation=original" and can confirm that works fine
                    just wanted to point out the update is still inserting "persist.sys.app.rotation=force_land" and not "persist.sys.app.rotation=original"


                    Also I wanted to confirm drmhussein85 live wallpaper fix is working -> http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...517#post700517
                    Obviously its the live wallpaper system apk included in the rom that's buggy/the issue cause once you swap it out for the one listed all works as it should
                    A fix worth including in next rom update?

                      Yes, I had to go back to force_land because the original setting caused unexpected orientation changes in the Setup Wizard. One of the pages would just spontaneously flip.

                      I've updated my source for LiveWallpapersPicker from the APKMirror link, and it will propagate to all new releases.

                    Well i posted live wallpaper fix with more details here http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...094#post700094

                    For the OEM rom it is not a bug/issue with the app, there just no live picker app.

                        Type "reboot update" from any terminal window. Otherwise, you've got to short the reset pads on the PCB.
