Tanix TX6 TV Box - Allwinner H6 4/32GB Dual WiFi BT4.1 or 5

[jillblow777]

To anyone interested I got this box running great by using a root explorer/cleaner called sd maid which allowed me to remove glichy Alice ux. I installed top launcher 2 then remove alice. Also lets you remove all the garbage factory bloatware apps and now I actually like this box. Nova launcher and a few others don't run right on this box just to save you time on having to reburn your box.

Nice. And you can hear the Android TV fanboys screaming about the makers of this and other devices aren't using that adware platform for their devices......

i wont buy any tanix box anymore, aliceUX so laggy. and no root on my TX6 android 9.0

(note: the device has a trade-off, Tanix ditched the USB 3.0 port to keep costs the same as old model even though new unit has a better CPU/GPU chip)

Use a mouse or air-mouse remote to swipe down the Notification Window and turn ON the quick-setting tile for "Do-Not-Disturb" and the navigation sounds will be muted. Or go into the Android Settings(standard stock white background settings) and inside the Sound settings lower the Notification sound volume to one-click beyond zero/off and the navigation sounds will be less annoying, if notification sound is at zero it automatically enables Do-Not-Disturb.

  It works! Thank you for your help, @RiCkLaR_atvX.

Oh wow! That's good new! Will try it out over the weekend. Thanks for the tip!

[RiCkLaR_atvX]

One thing however is beginning to become a bit annoying, which the 'click' audio sound whenever I press anything on the remote. Is there a way to disable this sound? I am not referring to the sound on the remote when I press a button on it, but more the audio sound coming from the TV

I also bought the Tanix TX6 4/32 a few days ago! I came here with the same annoying sound "problem" described by @twerp. At the moment, didn't find the solution for this problem. It looks like the main functions of the installed system (Android 9) on this device are not helpful with fixing this issue.

Current versions:

Android security patch level: February 5, 2019
Kernel version: 4.9.118
Build: p281-userdebug 9 PPR1.181005.003 20190730-104846 test-keys

@twerp
Have you got the same versions on your TX6 device?

I recently purchased this box - amazing for the price. Happily running various IPTV apps, all working as expected.

More info:
TX6 with Android 9, AliceUX and included remote
IPTV apps like GSE IPTV, etc
