ath156 concerning heating of the HK1

In the anexed YT review there is the following comment by a user about heating:

"...Not a professional cursory review. This box heats up like an iron when watching HD video. The inside of the radiator is very small. You cannot use without additional cooling! The processor reduces the frequency and the box turns into a crappy product from China!..."

do you think with your rom this problem perhaps reduce? Or could it be worse?

Even if you don´t have the same box, perhaps you can give some idea.

Or any other user, which bought the HK1, is there any diference about getting hot, comparing the stock and custom rom of ath156 ?

I think it's a good practice to use a cooler fan for every TV box you may have. That's what I do for all my 3 boxes (Beelink GT1 2/16, H96 max X2 & H96 max X3). I did all of them by myself (DIY) using very old fans from Tower Pcs.
Please have a look here about this subject https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv-...e18#post813789
Please note that your USB ports STILL HAVE POWER even when you turn off your Box (you must take care about it so not to spin 24/24 & 7/7 - at the above link are some options).

OK this is very easy to find. The version that first installs by my rom is 2.0.2(20002), but after 1st boot and letting Play Store find any updates, it is updated to 2.1.13(20113). That version is what I actually have now (after the update from playstore).
Some other preinstalled apps are also automatically updated.

Good, so it works to update in Play Store and sure i can install afterwards my key then to get my bought version of the Launcher, as i bought it on Play Store, thanks.

Do you use also SD Maid Pro in your devices? i use it often to keep all clean and organized. But this app i can also install after afterwards.

[ath156]

As i said, i use actually the version is 2.1.13 from Play Store. Could you look to your version which is included in the rom? For example with SD Maid in app control? thanks

- As the Square Home Launcher and the key you own I really don't know. If you have any problem you can easily delete my version and install yours. As far as the name is concerned you are also right as sometimes it is referred as Square Home 2 and sometimes as 3.

This NOT permanent TWRP you linked works also on my HK1?

YES. It actually works to any S905X2 and S905X3 box !!!!

[tombraga]

For anybody that would like to try other roms (mine or other custom roms) it is a good practice to first make a Backup of their partitions with a NOT permanent TWRP. It is easily made as I say here:
https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv-...e16#post812426
You have to backup at least Boot, System, Vendor and your Data partitions.

This NOT permanent TWRP you linked works also on my HK1? (for example with USB Stick and Terminal Emulator)

[tombraga]

- YES. My rom works perfectly for HK1 BOX and the link you attached. A friend of mine installed it at exactly such a box and everything functions perfectly. It is also suitable for HK1 X3 (the circural one) like this https://www.banggood.com/HK1-X3-Amlo...1&rmmds=search. So for both othese HK1 S905X3 versions !!!
- You are absolutely right to get confused with GREEN & BLUE boards, as it was my mistake to not clarify that I was refering ONLY to H96 max X3 (which has a new version with BLUE board). Even there it seems to be no problem, that's why I deleted the relevant Notes.

Thanks for your excelent answer, now waiting for my box. And thanks that you waist so much time in making this rom

I am waiting form my new HK1 - it´s the one in the attached link

So your rom is working on this box? i don´t need to look for green and blue boards or care of installed stock rom (u219 etc.)???

Concerning the launcher:

I bought and use the Square Home Luncher in some diferent boxes and tablets. (incl. the key). My actual version is 2.1.13 from Play Store. Which version you have integrated in your rom? you write Square Home 3 ??

If i install your rom, can i use my paid version with the key app then? i got the experience from my Beelink GT King that i had to uninstall first the SH Launcher which came with the custom rom (Sasvlad) and then install my bought rom.

Magisk is preinstalled and in most cases the "hide" feature is enough. For some services you may have to use the additional option to completely hide magisk manager by giving the whole package an arbitrary name (Magisk Manager-Settings-Hide magisk manager). Of course if this is not enough for you, you can also unistall it.
Please after the 1st boot update the app from 20.3 to 20.4 (latest).

[ath156]

can't use magisk's hide feature as the app detects magisk's interception and won't allow to proceed, so hv to uninstall magisk & disabled magisk manager

For the safety net fix you can look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...-2020-t4063679

Before trying to install any app (which needs not unrooted system) you have to check if you pass "Safety Net". There is a button (see photo 5) that you press and does the check. The first time that you use magisk most probably it WON'T pass the safety net test. So you have to install a couple of modules (you can find them in the magisk manager-I am away for weekend so I am not able now to tell you exactly which to install). Once this test is successfull, only then use hide function.
In case this is not successfull there is even an option to completely rename magisk (giving it another arbitrary name).
I am almost sure that following this or another way you can use the desired application and magisk at the same time. The result would be to have at the same time a rooted & unrooted system.
If you are eager to try all these please report your experience.
