[ROM] Tanix X4 SC ATV v6.0 USERDEBUG - S905x4 - Android 11 - Multi-Wifi&BT

[superceleron]

DISCLAIMER: MY ROMs(WORK) CAN NOT BUT USED FOR ANY COMMERCIAL PROJECTS WITHOUT MY CONSENT.

Well my first rom for a S905X4 device based on android 11.
Nothing from the STOCK rom was used, this is a clean build done from my own Amlogic Android 11 sdk.


Adicional note: On the 1º Boot when it shows the Pair remote screen, you can use it to pair any BT remote you might have, i added a bunch of KL configs for a few BT remotes.
But that does not mean it will support the one you going to pair.. so some keys functions might not work or do differently of what they supposed to do.
You guys can check the YT video on the bottom of this topic, showing the pair screen.

Changelog v6.0:

• Big update
• Added 1 more WiFichip (AP6256)
• Updated ALL WiFi and BT drivers to the latest builds i could get.
• Enabled generic Realtek Ethernet driver.
• Fixed root, it nows as the "normal" root(supersu), i will think in the future if i will add Magisk or not..
• Added root on/off switch, it on by default! (restart required to take effect, after each change)
• Added overlay that shows cpu speed/temp etc.. also network speed etc..
• Added option to choose the default UI for each app ( see app info page, only on side settings )
• Added Switch OS (if no usb stick or SDcard is present with other OS. it will boot to recovery)
• Added BT to TVSettings.
• Fixed lots of permissions.
• Fixed SPDIF output (i think... i do not have a way of testing it)
• Decided to do a OTA zip, use the included "update" app that is on the previous fw's (see bugs section is case something does not work ok after doing the OTA)
• And many other stuff...

---

Changelog v5.0:

• Small update
• Added DocumentsUI since it seems some emulators(and some filebrowser apps) need it to work correctly.
• Fixed access to "internal shared storage" (it was due to DocumentsUI be missing)
• Fixed some other permissions.

---

Changelog v4.0:

• Fixed Google assistant. (If you do the OTA then after it a Factory Reset is needed, if you don't do it the issue will continue there, this is only for V3, V1 and V2 are ok and no factory reset is needed)
• Added A95XF4 remote control.

---

Changelog v3.0:

• Fixed SDCARD detection
• Fixed front display ( Tanix X4 )
• Some small changes to the ETH to see if it becomes more stable
• Small change to the BT.
• Added support for EXT4 filesystem ( still in testing...)
• And some other minor stuff...

---

Changelog v2.0:

• Done OTA, it can be updated over the "Update" app on the fw.
• Removed Chromecast from the fw, since it will not work unless legit atv
• Added 2 apps that i think they are useful.
• Fixed Audio playback in Google Videos (and others)
• Added root (you wont get a pop up asking for permission, it will always give root to any app so... use legit apps!!!!)
• Now runs a bit more "cooler"!
• And some other minor stuff...

---

Changelog v1.0:

• Build from latest AML R(11) SDK
• Multi Wifi & Multi BT.
• As true to ATV as possible.
• Bla bla bla...
• Bla bla bla bla...
• Bla bla bla bla bla...
• etc.... and many other stuff...

---

Still missing:

• TWRP.

Bugs:

• Of course there is bugs!! there always be bugs!!
• In case you have some weird issues with Google assistant after the ota, just go to "settings/device preferences/Google assistant" and disable it and then enable it or press the MIC button on your remote, that will enable it again and ask you a few questions. If the issue persists i recommend doing a factory reset.
• Also if you get a black screen after doing the ota... the only solution here is to reflash the img... sorry!

THIS ROM DELETES ALL YOUR DATA SO DO A BACKUP!

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Enjoy it!

[hjpca]

thank you i will test it today

[freddy]

Testing on A95X F4 S905X4 4/32

Ethernet only

This is wifi/blutooth combo for A95X F4 mtk_sdio
MediaTEK 7668RTN

There is no support for this in Rom could not pair blutooth remote
so took quite awhile to enter system/setup.
Logitech K400 plus Enter Key Function is the letter q
Finally a generic $5 wireless mouse solved the issue
Having HDMI CeC allready enabled helped with Navigate/ Samsung TV Remote works

Sluggish at the start
After Factory Reset
And muitple restarts it is improving
Getting faster/more stable

Even without wifi/blutooth it is allready outperforms Stock Image Android 10 from A95X F4

I never worry about Front Display( Can be distracting During Movie Playback Light glowing in the Dark)

Nice Job Superceloron!!!

More Testing

Happy Testing

[superceleron]

Thks for your testing, pitty my sdk does not have that mediatek driver

[maxcombor]

Bravo for now all worked nice ,iiv tried to upload remote conf for a95xf4 , but this is no rooted version ? Thanks again for your work .

Well its the userdebug version that is almost the same as rooted, you have access to SU in the shell.
But of course the apps do not have access to it.
I will see if i will do a "regular" root it or not, i dont like very much of rooting my fw's.
Anyway thks for the testing

[maxcombor]

Yes but i do not hawe posibility to change anything with adb , also i have a lot of drops even in original youtube with this rom , i do not why ... memory ocupaited even with no load ocupation after 5min is 1800Mb , it is a Looot , bu like i told you for the first port is ok , yust need polish ....and root of course root.

[superceleron]

Ye i did notice, there is a memory leak somewhere i still need to debug that.
But that problem can be from that box you using, remember i build this one for the X4.
im checking now the memory usage, and YT playback.. going to leave it playing a few hours..
BTW Atv fws always use more ram since they have more google stuff running in the background.

[superceleron]

Ho i forgot this fw its hard the cpu, it gets ... really hot so make sure you have a good heatsink on the cpu.
On my X4 i added one of that small heatsinks you can buy for like the Raspberry Pi.

[superceleron]

Well after playing a 4k YT video for 5h and i dont see a issue it played just fine without any packed loss or lost frames.
Ram usage is normal, i totally forgot this device as "4gb" of ram and i have "low ram device" disabled on the fw, that is normally used for devices with max 2gb of ram.
That is why you see a bigger ram usage.

Total RAM: 3,583,552K (status normal)
Free RAM: 1,878,587K ( 350,907K cached pss + 310,620K cached kernel + 1,217,060K free)
ION: 90,408K ( 66,752K mapped + 12,072K unmapped + 11,584K pools)
Used RAM: 1,697,633K (1,198,589K used pss + 499,044K kernel)
Lost RAM: 7,328K
ZRAM: 4K physical used for 0K in swap ( 393,212K total swap)

Updated 1º post with v2.0... small update only!

[maxcombor]

This is the best rom for now , first time bluetooth and wi fi can work together , on a95xf4 works perfect , only one small thing if you can put inside rc file for a95xf4 for remote , because is imposible with adb , here -- remote.tab1 list from a95xf4 Thanks .
