[ROM] Beelink GS-King X & GT-King Pro ALVATECH Android TV - ATV (9.0 Pie)

[ALVATECH]

Trying to get the Chrome browser version that allows copy/paste. The version running on another device that work is using this apk >> Google Chrome: Fast & Secure 57.0.2987.132 (arm-v7a) (Android 4.1+)

I deleted the existing Chrome, and tried to install this version, but it will not install. Any clues??

thanks.

Hello,
yeah I found it pretty quickly and tried it out personally. I deleted Chrome from system/system/apps/Chrome then deleted updates and download with the link I provided down below. Now I can copy and paste through out the Chrome browser as needed. Just make sure not to update it or you'll lose that function. Feel free to PM me if you still have issues.
Thank you,

Alvatech

I wanted the Chrome Browser that supports copy/paste function. I had to delete the existing Chrome browser that was installed as a system app. Using Alvatech's information, I was able to delete the existing Chrome app........

"Hello,
I use X-plore file manager that comes included with this ROM. Before modifying any files in root, you'll need to go configuration of the X-plore app then check show hidden files then go down to Superuser & mount writable for you to be able to modify / delete files.
Thank you,

Alvatech"

Once the Chrome app was deleted, I then looked for the Chrome App that supports copy/paste. I found this one >> Chrome-57.0.2987.132_arm(4.1+).apkand it works perfectly.

As Alvatech says, do not update that app or you will lose the copy/paste function........

Thanks to Alvatech as always for his knowledge.

Hi

First off want to thank you for this rom, i found this before purchasing and was the reason i brought this device.

Like others i did have issues with Remote and Xbox Controller distances and no or laggy responses from them. The remote lagging was resolved by removing the USB 3 external SSD but alas thats normal with unshielded usb 3 devices. The bluetooth puzzled me but it may of looked like batteries were flatish lol, although will retest when mounted back on vesa mount.

Anyways, only 2 other things that have cropped up is the included files app you added randomly shuts down when copying between sources and i could repeat this several times, no biggie as i just installed solid explorer which works fine for me. The other is the obvious one i forgot to check which is AMLOGIC / Beelink do not support framerate switching out of the box. (I only realised this as well when i opened Kodi and saw the resolutions also are stuck to 1080p even though box set to 4k) tested a few files and yep does not switch output to match source, Just going to try AFRd app to see if this works and corrects the framerate / resolution output.

Anyways, thanks for your efforts here very much appreciated

Edit After the fact -

Tried Afrd Switching which does switch framerates but adds other issues (nothing to do with this rom at all thats golden), but alas tried bluetooth again and unless it is direct line of sight (odd for BT) the signal drops i.e if i lye on bed and place the controller in my lap with Knees raised then boom no response at all until i lower legs so bluetooth is definitely a major weak point, so i guess my search for the perfect small box goes on

Hello,
Yeah these issues are common with the USB devices. You might try a small USB extension cable which I hear helps with the Bluetooth and other USB devices. I'm sure it's because of the interference. There is an issue with these boxes and the framerate switching. I know the AFRd is suppose to help, but I don't have anything to do with it. Most of these Amlogic boxes are having these type of issues. I'm thinking Amlogic and Beelink know and are working on it, a lot of people on Beelink's forum are complaining and I know they are aware of it.
Thank you,

Alvatech

[ALVATECH]

Hello everyone,
I have updated the first post of this thread with updated ROM's based off of the latest from Beelink. Please read change logs before asking any questions.
I hope you'll enjoy the new updates. I plan on also adding some more information to the 2nd post of this thread, I've already started and plan to add more with time. I also want to thank those who have donated lately I really appreciate it. Remember I'm only one person doing this, I don't have a team of developers as backup that I can ask for help. There will always be bugs no matter what, I try to help with what I can where I can. I can't fix everything or test all apps and different scenarios that other users have. Also if it doesn't work on my ROM, other developers ROM and in factory ROM then ask Beelink for help and or start a new thread and ask for help there so others users may see and can maybe lend a hand. I would like to keep this thread only about this ROM please.
Thank you,

Alvatech

Hello,
you might have a look in the vendor partition under vendor/etc you should find what you're looking for there. Best thing to do is look up some tutorials here on FT and find out how to go about this and maybe ask on that thread for any additional help if needed. I will be releasing another ROM here pretty shortly for the ATV ROM's.
Thank you,

Alvatech

Thanks a lot alvatech.
I managed to change the button and map it to the "power menu" app with "button mapper".
Thanks again.

[ALVATECH]

Hi Alvatech.
I have a question to ask about remapping the power button.
In the rom there is an application called "Power Menu" where you can have multiple restart options. I thought I could remap it to the power button for convenience and have more options to choose from. Since the power button sends an infrared signal to turn off the device, I read in the forums that you need to edit the remote.conf file located in /system/etc to remap it. I noticed that it is not present in the folder so I think it had to be created. I don't know if once you do this you can map it to the app. So I wanted to ask you if all this is possible or you need to modify the kernel to make this possible.
