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

Here is the ATV 64bits build for the VIM4.
Pls do read the bugs section.

PLS READ THE BUGS SECTION THKS...

---

Changelog v3.0:

• "Small" update only to support both versions of the VIM4 (yes there are 2 versions of it...)
• Updated the SDK to the latest one.(this is big since a sdk update affects all of the build)
• Some cleanup and small fixes!

---

Changelog v2.0:

• Big update
• Merged all Khadas team changes since July.
• Fixed root, it now 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 in TVSettings.
• Fixed lots of permissions.
• 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 v1.0:

• Build from latest Khadas R(11) 64bits SDK
• Added root (you wont get a pop up asking for permission, it will always give root to any app so... use legit apps !!!!)
• Modified Khadas Settings so it have a more suitable look and removed "lower bar/upper bar" since its not needed in ATV ( It will be there in Normal build )
• Modified Backdrop to remove some text.
• Fixed some permissions.
• Fixed Audio playback in Google Videos (and others)
• Added Vim1/2/3 remote control.
• And many other stuff...

---

Still missing:

• TWRP.

Bugs:

• Recovery does not show screen.
• If you have CEC disabled in your TV pls enable or is possible you will get random black screens, if you do not want to enable it in your TV go to settings and disable it there!
• If you get a black screen(but you can ear audio) at 1º boot just powercycle the device...
• On some players, like Google videos the play of the video starts ok at low resolution, but when it changes to a bigger resolution sometimes it hangs the video but the audio continues, if that happens just press back to get out of the video and start it again and it should work fine until you reboot/powercycle the device.
• 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!
• Of course there is bugs!! there always be bugs!!

Do your TV support CEC and as it enabled? it its disabled pls enable it.
I notice sometimes the flash even when it says it was 100% ok its not that real, so if the issue persists reflash it again..

Hello superceleron It turns out that I got the firmware off another page that was 1.4 gb in size. Once I got the one off here It works perfect thank you so much for a great Rom.

I have a Intel ax210 wifi 6 card with a adaptor to plug in to the nvme socket on the vim4 however as all the roms kernels are old versions the card is not working Is it possible you could please add support in a future release Thank you Sorry for the requests etc But would it be possible to add https://github.com/anpaza/afrd it wont work due to newer android ver films play a little choppy thank you

Really loving the Rom It was the reason I brought the device fought I would let you know of a few things I discovered last night while testing things out.
HDR10+ dose not seem to activate on my TV on my gt king pro to get this to work I had to enable the sdr to hdr setting for some reason.

Hi, about wifi 6 going to be hard since it needs android11 specific driver.
On afrd, forget it it wont work the autor of that tool need to update it.
On HDR10+ i dont have a way atm of testing it, i will see if i see something but no promises.

[mattshigg]

Hi thanks for your reply I fought the whole wifi card add on was a long shot to be honest not to worry I fought the drivers was based in the Linux kernel though?
afrd to bad they never updated it as its a real vital thing for movies. I have read though Android 12 will have auto refresh rate switching baked in Hopefully you will be able to bring us one of your awesome roms based on 12. Thank you for looking in to HDR10+ It worked on your gt king pro firmware by for some strange reason enabling sdr to hdr but it was the same on other firmware to.

I have found a work around for stuttering video If it helps anyone else and that is to install the plex add on in kodi while it dose not switch to the right hz it dose play back buttery smooth.

[superceleron]

hmm i think i found out why the HDR was not working... i left it disabled lol my fault :P hehe
I will fix it in the next version.
Thks for reporting it

well that is normal since android kernel is not 100% same as the linux kernel, its more like 99% and android is very picky when it comes to hw changes.
I will see what i can do on the next build but no promises!
