H96 MAX X2 Amlogic S905X2 Android 8.1 4/32GB Dual Band WiFi Fast LAN BT

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?

For my uses, wifi is good enough and my router is close by. At the very least, I don't think it's any worse than other firmwares that work with this box, meaning I haven't had any troubles connecting, I didn't have any disconnects etc., and the speeds are pretty much the same as the others. Not sure if it's better or not.

I'm just as surprised as you lol. Used it for a good amount today and basically didn't have any issues. But I didn't really have any major issues with other firmwares either, outside of the youtube stutters, which this firmware fixes. And yes, it uses the same launcher as the stock 8.1 H96 Max X2 firmware. Personally I use Squarehome 2 launcher.

I think this firmware is based on the same as the TR99, but it's rooted and has the proper settings menu. And obviously all of the drivers for this box are included. If only it included upper and lower bars, but the third-party navbar app is sufficient.

This is the best firmware for our box at the moment IMO, and the first that I've been 100% satisfied with.

All that write up is too good to be true. I am thinking of blowing work and rushing home to download and try this firmware but I have to be here for 3 more hours. Anyways Please test GTA vice city, tekken PSP games too as those have random 5 second freezes every few minutes on previous firmwares. You mentioned asphalt 8, does it freeze unfreeze randomly?

I won't have time to test today, I'm gonna go to bed soon. But fwiw, someone over at 4pda who was having issues with 3D games on other firmwares, says that this one works.

(google translated)

yes. Super!
I am very pleased that the manufacturer still finished the firmware and pleased us.
Now I will try to put asphalt8. Maybe the game will go now. If they go, it will be necessary to note this business)))

...later saying:

Asphalt went without problems! Hooray!!!
The problem with 3d games is finally solved!
Tomorrow evening I will wash this thing! )))

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.

With this Pie version of firmware for H96MaxX2 is possible to backup Google Settings? In many Rom I tried on this device the Google Settings, Google Account and Play Store are not full working: App Store can't update and many apps are not downloadable (for example Firefox, I use APK version). The Google Backup starts but does not complete, and no device are showed in GoogleDrive. This is beacause the device is not Google Certified
Thank You

Mine shows an exclamation point (!) over my network icon at the top, even when it seems to be working. As of now the network is working with Ethernet but there's clearly a problem- With mine anyway.

The weak wi-fi is more of a hardware problem than firmware.

Works. Games work. 3d games. I have tested gta vice city which used to freeze unfreeze randomly destroying the game experience. No more of that. Its working as it should. The manufacturer has really done an awesome job. I will try tekken and asphalt 9 also today and will report. This is the best firmware till day thank you rahzel.

How did you flash t95x rom in the first place? I can give you new backup only with system and boot but if you were able to flash rom with wire, you can do that with stock to go back to original also.

My wifi catches on but due to router being in different room, it doesnt work properly. But that was like this in all roms i tested so yes its hardware problem. Firmware cant do anything with respect to that.

Lighthome launcher can be found below. If anyone wants it.

I'm getting really slow WiFi speeds on the H96 Max X2. I'm convinced its because the wifi antennae in the box isn't very strong.

Can I plug in a USB WiFi adapter into the box?

Flash the original with US cable and PC. Lol if your PC flashing is working, then stop using twrp backup. Download second one below and flash with PC and USB wire.

The firmware I gave you in the backup was not stock firmware though. It is from the 4pda post below. And this firmware will have launcher and droid settings in russian. I specially modded the english version for you before making the backup.
