[ROM] XTMOD-ATV X96 Max - GT1 and some U211 devices - S905X2 Android 8.1 [Android TV]

[metabesk]

Both mines are on 50' cat6 attic lines to boxes getting consistent 500 Mbps. My service is 1 Gbps.
WiFi's are off, maybe try that?
App used is Speedcheck

You are using x96 max and xtmod atv rom and you can get 500 mbps thru ethernet right, may be yours us 2gb ram version? Because i could only get 1.5 mbps where with the same cable 300 mbps. There are people who have the same problem with me

Edit: i think it was because the time needed to stabilizing the installation of the new rom. Right now there 8s no priblem with the ethernet performance.

Top navigation bar can be reached but bottom one cant. Am i doing something wrong?

Sorry, fairly green with boxes. They are GT1 Mini 4GB RAM 64GB. Glad it's sorted!

Ok folks i'm back, sorry but as i wrote some days before i'm helping my old father 'cause is very sick. Anyway i'm preparing new versions of my firmwares with the new formware with some important fixes, like ethernet and S/PDIF fix. Just wait, i hope i can pubish then next week.

Hope you're doing OK, mate. It must be difficult.

But glad to see you back. Is there any way to add auto frame rate switching in the firmwares? Would be soooooooooo appreciated!

If you succeed you will make my last few month's worth while!

Initially, the bottom bar was, it needed to be ?pulled out? with the mouse.
At some point, the bottom bar disappeared, helped line in /system/build.prop "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0"
Now it appears with the top bar, if you move the arrow to the top or bottom edge.

Are you just unable to copy a script to a given place, or talking about something else?

If I can give some advice for your upcoming ATV, in particular about "vendor" apps not specifically designed for TV (just suggesting for better user experience, already "fixed" on my side )
- Your "Simple reboot" is nice but can... simply! never be used without an air mouse. With only arrows->OK it's dead end: you can't reach any reboot option. I would recommend that one: TV Boot
- About (ugly!) drawer, it really lacks contextual long press, and go to settings everytime you need to manipulate an app is pain in the ass. Found that one is not bad: WBS App Drawer
Moreover using true ATV apps would at least save you to include dummy/kludgy duplicate APKs to launch them...

Nothing to do with, but I wonder what's that amvdec_h264_4k2k.ko module is doing here, it looks to be only in your ROMs and most important: it's never used for decoding!

I just want the function to come with the firmware. Out of the box, if you will. It's OK to do it manually after installing whatever firmware you want, but it would be great to have it come with the firmware instead.

Well I understand, but it can only come with a native solution from manufacturers, what will never happen imho since they don't get what are elementary features. For now we've got only not 100% reliable workarounds where none can be prefered regardless of user's choice: Script? Daemon? Magisk? Init.d, which variant? All known are still offering/requiring user tweaks anyway. What will save you (little) time to install will waste more others to uninstall, just my 2 cents. I'd personnally vote for less bloatware in ROMs (Netflix etc, available on Playstore for who needs)

Here is a little trick I learned, use an old app called 'all in one gestures', and all you have to do is move your mouse cursor to the top or bottom of the screen and the bars will auto appear. I used All In One Gestures on other versions of Android, and I always had to pull up or down to get the bars to appear, but with Oreo it does it automatically. Here is how I have All On One Gestures set up, I have nothing within the app turned on except Immersive Mode. When you open the app, go to settings, immersive mode preferences, and turn it on. The All In One Gestures app is no longer in the Play Store, so just Google it and download the APK. I am not sure if its Oreo or something to do with this rom, but having the bars appear automatically without pulling them up or down is actually a pretty nice touch.

Thanks mate where are you from? Russia?

Hello. I install this ROM and it works fine.
I have 2 sorties.
1: when I want to connect to the chromcast of the box with my Smartphone, the Smartphone connects and disconnects directly.
2: I have a remote control air mouse and I would like to know if it is possible to turn on and off the box with this remote (can be by modifying the build. prop).
Thank you.

I have tried this desatka once, but on this firmware this method does not help ...... the lower bar goes after any changes in the system. I had to change the box 5 times already ... last time the bottom panel disappeared after changing the scale of the screen image

I apologize for the translation ....
