Extra Tips Section...
Please read all the information down below and maybe even re-read it one more time before asking questions. I'm not responsible for any issues you may have with your device. Do this it's at your own risk.

Important Update: At any point in time, I may remove and/or modify any of this information. I may take down some of this info if I can no longer maintain this post, if I get overwhelming requests, or if I get a lot of users who are not able to follow instructions and understand how some of these things work. I may also move this information to a whole new separate thread if needed for other users to help as needed.

Remember this!!
I do this for fun. I try to help when I can. I do this on my own time. I don't have a team helping me. I will respond when I can. I have a life too.

Tip (3.)
AFRd - AUTO FRAME RATE DAEMON.
AFRd, changes the video frame rate automatically for you on your Android device. This only works with the Amlogic devices (Amlogic S9xx). Your box must be rooted for this app to work. I have added some links down below for those who would like to add this to their Android boxes.
I do not make nor do I support AFRd, so please, either create a new thread or look for an existing thread and ask for help there if needed.

Link 1 located here on Freaktab
Link 2 located at original source.
Link 3 located at Github.

Tip (4.)
SMART YOUTUBE APP.
Looks like Smart Youtube TV app had done some changes to their app, now you have to choose a different default launcher to make things work.
If you're having issues with the Smart Youtube app, please try the following steps down below:

1st close/exit the Smart Youtube app completely.
2nd re-open the app, as soon as you re-open the app press the back button immediately, and then you will be prompted with some default launcher options.
3rd choose the Pro Youtube launcher as your default player (this one usually works best for me). You will only have to do this once, as the app will remember your choice.

Notes:
Please read the "Extra Tips Section" on the 2nd post for additional help.
When the box boots for the first time only, installation is still going on in the background please be patient for it to load completely.
When you connect the box to the internet for the first time google dependencies will need to be updated, please allow for these updates to finish.

Download ROM:
MINIX_NEO_U22_XJ_AT_V1.0A

Installation Instructions:
Use burning/flashing instructions from the manufacture using one of the following procedures down below.
I recommend using the latest Amlogic's USB Burning Tool 2.1.7.0 or later. the SD Card method can be used.

Click the needed link down below to download the tool needed.
USB Burning Tool Method: Amlogic's USB Burning Tool
SD Card Method: Amlogic's Burn Card Maker

1ST BOOT TAKES ABOUT 5-6 MINUTES, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT.
THIS DELETES ALL YOUR DATA SO DO A BACKUP IF NEEDED! USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This is to share my work with everyone and to try to make these TV boxes more enjoyable.
I will try my best to answer or help with any questions and or concerns as soon as I can.
If something doesn't function properly please let me know with as much detail as possible and I will try to fix it.
When posting for help please stay on subject, If it doesn't pertain to this ROM please search other threads for help or start a new one.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DO!!

Thank you Minix for the sample hardware.

hi, can you do one for the max version please, thank you.

A great Rom. But I hope we can get rid of the navigation bar even when sliding up. Users Always slide up and the navigation bar appears again. Ugoss has the option not to allow it to appear by sliding up
