Thanks but they are all stock
i want something clean, nexus like (not atv as I?m using a mouse)

Oh you want a custom rom. In that case there are none. There is one but it is in russian and needs some fiddling to get it in english, and even then some apps still install in russian.

Go here and pick out one in the firmware section. HK1 is good for this box, they all work and are in English.

Hello, i wanted to ask, recently got one H96 Max X2 from banggood 4/64, but i think its with DDR3 memory, because it gives error on 3% on all roms that i tried. But another problem i have: IR remote receiver is not responding on device, and have very weak Wifi signal, can't connect to router, only if really close, 10 cm. Can somebody advise me how to open case on H96? I cant see any screws or way to open case without break? To see this problems inside case what is going on with extreme weak wifi and no working IR signal... Thank you in advance

back side, put a pen in the silver roof, and you will see an opening. than just use a guitar pick to open the rest.

Apparently they released an Android Pie 9 firmware for the H96 Max X2. I believe it's for the 4GB box and it was posted at 4pda.

https://mega.nz/#F!enh1kIYD!FdtiQoEO0V4awyrEZRwUew

Installing it right now, will report back later.

edit: Installed and so far so good.
-Rooted
-No stutter in youtube
-Propper settings app, unlike the other android 9 firmware
-Play store updates
-No upper lower bars
-On the initial bootup, there was a black screen for ~20-30 seconds before it fully started... was a bit worried, but probably just setting everything up for the first launch.
-When using a physical keyboard, enter key doesn't work as is usually the case with these stock firmwares, but it's easy to fix.

Very solid firmware IMO, will definitely be the one I use.

Having trouble with my network, ethernet drops connection from time to time, I couldn't get wireless to connect at all, it shows my wireless but can't connect. Otherwise it seems to work alright.

Weird... it is an official firmware release for this box. The person who posted the link also shared where he got it from, which seems to be straight from the manufacturer: https://www.h96tvbox.com/content/6-Firmware-upgrade

I haven't tried ethernet, but my wifi connected no problem for me. Used it for a few hours now and I've had no issues... it has been very stable. The only problem I ran into, was I left a youtube video paused for like 20-30 minutes and turned off my TV, and when I went to resume the audio was out of sync. Closed it and played it again, and it played fine.

From the link above, there are firmwares for the 2GB and 4GB LPDDR3 memory variants too, not android pie mind you, but maybe worth trying for those of you with those versions.

Pleasantly surprised that we got a pie update relatively soon.

I got it from MEGA and had a hard time downloading it, I even had to change the file extension file type to open it. I will download again from your link and reflash it later.

Does that mean android 9 solved the weak wifi problem or are you connecting to wifi in same room? This is unbelievable that our manufacturer would oblige with official android 9 and that too stable? Its not 1st April is it? Is the stock launcher same as before?
