[bumerc]

Sure, didnt know that there is ATV12 and 13.....

How can I test the H96pro+ build?

You can test this build of HighwayStar. I will only build it once my test device has arrived. I deleted the h96pp build..

You need other wifi and bt driver, i will build vendor partition with right driver for you.

With right DTB can I just replace DTB an d boot on S905x3/x2 machines?

Thanks, really appreciate your offer! Not possible to take drivers from Pie and just copy over? ;-)

There are some interesting (re)sources inside Kahdas repos: https://github.com/orgs/khadas/repositories

There are recent evidences that these chinese boxes are not safe:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/android-tv-boxes-sold-amazon-come-pre-loaded-malware

So it would be great to have a "clean" Android builds for them...

...of course in ATV "flavour":

Hope that inspires !

If you need, we can test builds on our Sunvell T95Z MAX 2/16 (which runs - quite flawlessly - Aidan's v9 build AMPI.3933.M4GC ROM).

Nothing new, that was done like 4/5y a go the main affected device where the allwinner ones... so they did not discover the gun powder here, is old news actually
Man i could tell you some horror stories of "company's" that tried to hire me to do some shady stuff... like cripto a bunch of other stuff...
Now you guys see why i stop using already made fw's(so called stock roms) and do all my my own fw's from my own sources(SDK), or use public sources like Khadas stuff when i do roms for their devices!

You're right, and this is only one of the "issue" founded.

Totally agree.
Anyway, unfortunally, those boxes - and/or their SoCs - aren't officially supported by almost none custom Android distros...

...only LOS, recently, added some (wade and deadpool offically, sabrina and dopinder not yet) but they're not going to support "generic" boxes as, for example, LibreELEC does.

Last but not least a privacy-oriented Android distro (like \e\) has never builded for *any* boxes, so this could be a good chance for.
