Sorry, did not test it so far and already changed again, so cant test it now. I changed back coz it did not accept my usb hdd....until i learned that the disk was defective:-(

So can you confirm that wireless chipsets and IR remote codes in my GT1 Mini Nexus custom ROM are also compatible with the X96 Max? (I wasn't sure if that was the case.)

First thanks to Xannytech i installed your rom via USB fixing a x96 max hanging in beelink bootlogo. All works well but i changed the launcher. I found also an interesting rom, tested it and it works well. Seems to be quite pure android, its for gt1 mini and starts with "nexus" bootlogo: GT1_Mini_114N0_Stock-20181230. Works well on X96 max. Installed both firmwares over USB 2.0 Cable, connecting it to USB3.0 port of Box and PC, using amlogic_s905x2_setup_v2.1.6.8. Just connected the cable: No Hdmi, no mouse, no power. Installing passed without any errors/problems.All beelink images stopped when deleting the bootloader: error and stop, exept the above mentioned one. Again: thanks a lot Xannytech!

I have a faulty H96 Max X2 that I am sending back to the dealer. Is this box a recommended replacement?

[trebor]

Did not check these all yet, would depend a little on the firmware in use.
Many have this unit now, and I think there would be a scream if there was any huge issues

Please Others can have a go if they wish,

We can wait for yours

Hi trebor


Everything good?

Do you benchmark speed test of USB 3.0 and Lan Gigabit SMB and FTP from box?

Thank's

My kernel is alpha quality level yet, so I don't recommend it for "production" use. It has some well-known bugs (interlaced video doesn't play via libamcodec, for example, because newer AMLogic kernel have removed the tb_detect driver which does deinterlacing for libamcodec, and the replacement they implemented just doesn't work).

Also it doesn't work on 2/16 boxes because I don't have one at hand, and it's just too different (I'd say, X96 Max 2/ is more different compared to X96 Max 3/4 than MeCool KM9 or Beelink GT1 Mini).

So, it's just my first kernel build for X96 Max (I have a mature 3.14 kernel for X92/Android 6, with vfdd and afrd, if someone is interested). I'm going to work a little on other things for now, and will return then to kernel again - hopefully, AMLogic will release a newer kernel source until then, with (I hope) bugs fixed (and new introduced, as always).

Latest version will boot with Beelink firmware as well, it's just a small change.

And yes, there's a English README and CHANGES inside the directories, no need to push the Russian version through google translate.

afrd doesn't respect yet the key_hdmi_selfadaption setting yet.. But I'm going to add it in next versions, so you'll be able to enable/disable AFR using the system settings.

interesting, it's just a matter of time and i'll give a look into, thanks for the infos.

Hello Xannytech,

I have used your rom but reverted back to stock. Because the new automatic-frame-rate kernel works just with the stock rom.
The AFR function is a "must have" feature.

TMM

Open a simple terminal app then:

su
settings put system key_hdmi_selfadaption 1
reboot

Normally if droidlogic.jar has no problem this command activate AFR system wide, some program could override these settings, but we could do nothing about it.
It's not activated by default because not every tv support all the framerate or framerate change at all. Many users could have problem like black screen and so on if it's activated by default for all for the reason i explained yet. My kernel is yet modded about it but with a different approach. if will not work let me know probably i have to mod also droidlogic.jar.

Anyway if that particular kernel is soo good later on with the creator permission i can use it for my firmwares, actually i'm busy for other works, but, if i got freetime no problem.

Anyone try the AV port ? Mine doesn't work.
Came with latest ROM (rooted)

hello i m suprise why X96MAX 4G 32 have not windevine L1 Only L3

THEN the MECOOL KM9 same proc S905X2 Have WINDEVINE L1

ONE Info yesterday say WINDEVINE L3 is hacked now i suppose all applications change DRM And ask now WINDEVINE L1

Hello A.S._id,

Added NFS and SMB file system support modules. To use them, you will need the appropriate utilit:ies. This work is not finished yet.

Nice to read you here :-)
I am a German and i am reading in the 4PDA for a longer time. It's hard work, to always paste the thread in a translator :-) But it's worth it.

Until now, i just played a little bit with the X96 box. For me it was not usable because of the missing AFR and HD-Passthrough function.

With AFR, half of the work is done to make real good player out of this little, cheap box!

Do you know, that work is going on to fix the HD-Passthrough function? Kodi requires IEC Passthrough.

Yesterday i tried to install Entware on the box, but i got an segmentation fault error. With the stock Kernel it has worked in the past.
Do you know is the Kernel Arch or AArch (64 bit) one. Then i have to use a different repertory for installing Entware.
The reason for installing Entware is, that Entware make the utilities available for using NFS or Samba. MC, openssh, and so on.

Regards
TMM

Hi, oh I see also no 5ghz with 2gb model typical Gearbest advertising this box caught my eye how cheap with S905X2 hopefully will see custom ATV oreo for 2gb model

Thanks

Hopefully you'll get the gigabit Ethernet. Most of the 2/16 boxes aren't; they're instead mostly sold with 100M Ethernet.
