Yeah, I agree the new firmware is running awesome.....so far anyway. Haven't tested everything -
All Running fine... better than in previous official firmware. Best is I get lower cpu temps and shorter loading time.Originally posted by raruba View Post
If anyone finds the change log for this new firmware update, please share it here.
Also if anyone can share a link to this firmware update as zip it would be nice.
I tried to find the OTA update file but all OTA folders are empty after the update. Maybe they get cleaned after applying the update. If anybody could check if the update is in OTA folder before applying the update and share the file it would be awesome.

I noticed an app called "TV Store" not sure where it came from but I think they added it with this new patch.
Playstore seems to be the same broken garbage that it has had since the beginning.
The android security levels are still low, DRM Info still has not changed.
If only the manufacturer/owners had a website we could contact and tell them about the things they need to fix.
XVortex does your version come with a fully working playstore? (Finds Disney + and everything...)Last edited by greenstone; 27 April 2020, 03:51.Comment

peybolman Can you take a screenshot of your current UI and post it - I would like to see if they added new apps, my system is modded so I can't see original UI.
raruba You are using the new patch as well can you tell me if you see any new apps or anything they fixed specifically? I can't see any security fixes and my playstore reverted to an older one and is still broken.

Apparently they added a NAV bar. So we don't have to use an external one anymore however they have not added a drop down notification window as far as I can see and my build.prop settings reverted when I updated so I lost notifications. Will have to revert to my modified build.prop.
Looking at the build.prop it looks like they added some lines for a status bar and nav bar - since I can't see a status bar I am wondering if they also changed the UI, I may have to disable my square home to see what is really going on.
persist.sys.display.statusbarbutton=false
persist.sys.hideNavigationBar=1
persist.sys.hideStatusBar=1

You won't see SECURITY fixes from Generic TVbox manufacturers, they do Not spend anytime investing in true Software updates. These Vendors use the basic AOSP coded SDK that Amlogic releases to vendors, then add patches to make certain features work unique to there device, so when you receive an actual OTA it only includes a small amount of patches to the original SDK to turn ON/OFF a feature or kernel module they forgot to implement in the ROMs original release; and even though Google has in-detail explained how to add Security Updates to any ROMs source code, no generic TVbox manufacturer actually takes the time to update Android with Security Patches that are released Monthly by Google for any vendor of an AOSP device to implement on their own. In summary, if you buy devices that don't OPEN SOURCE their Android SDK then you will never have up-to-date Security Patches.Originally posted by greenstone View Post

Ok new build actually has a working status bar after you modify the build.prop line that says: ro.config.low_ram=true to ro.config.low_ram=false, you can access the new status bar in the settings area. It has a ton of settings that it can show, I will upload a screenshot soon.Comment

RiCkLaR_atvX Thank you for the explanation, I thought it would be part and parcel of putting out a product but I guess not.
In any case here are the photos I promised about the changes the made with the newest patch.
From what I can see the play store still is not working properly although more games are accessible certain apps such as Disney+ are still not found.

Also there are several mistakes in the build.prop that you posted greenstone I peronally would comment out or modify, here is one I think is suspect:
That is either causing the Play Store to not Auto Update or is forcing the settings trigger not to allow Auto-Updates of Apps; either way this is the first time I have seen it used.Code:persist.sys.play.auto_update=false

RiCkLaR_atvX That build.prop is the one they just updated and installed with the current patch.
I will comment out that line, let me know if there are any other mistakes you see in their file.Comment
