Let's see Aidan or someone can lend a hand.

The roms work correctly for me, I only have a small problem or inconvenience. And it is that I cannot load my arcade from my SD, the aidan rom always starts.
I put the original firmware back and if I can do it. Come on, if I leave the sd inside and start it, it loads the sd, if I don't put an sd it starts the internal memory.

Is there a way to modify that?

Thanks, and good job.

Hi Aidan, great job with this.
I just tried it on my Nexbox A95X-B7N (16GB ROM/2GB RAM) and it works fine so far, have not done any in-depth testing yet.
No Wifi as it stands as mine uses the AP6630 chip, I picked your 6212 variant hoping it might work but no dice.
Remote doesn't work either but that's to be expected. (MiBox works with BT Remote whereas the original Nexbox A95X with an IR one)

I own a Mi Box S as well, and the experience is very comparable.

Let me know if you need anything tested, I'll check LAN later in the day as well
Which version exactly you burned. NOR the 8 or 9 work on the NEXBOX A95X I tested (no remote or wifi)

Hello and thanks for the awesome ROM!

I successfully installed it in a t95z plus 3/32 s912, this version "2. [v9] Aidan's ROM [S912] [ATV 9] [DDR3 & DDR4] [LAN1000].img" with usb burning tool 2.1.7.0

Problem is I am getting frequent but random reboots. The only thing I believe plays a role is the reboots happen when installing an app, or doing sth intensive. Also happened during the initial setup phase of connecting to a google account.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

I finally managed to burn Aidan's rom onto my Mecool M8S Pro W (905W) Android TV box.

Took several attempts, but what finally did the trick was to burn with all the wipe-options disabled and then doing it immediately again with them on. (maybe that information could help someone later on...)

Now I'm just hoping someone could help me with these two issues I'm having:

1. The remote doesn't work. Or actually it does, but only certain buttons, and they're all wrong :D For example the TV IN button seems to act as OK, and the right button is volume +. And then numbers are scattered all over the place.

I'm assuming this could be fixed by editing the keymap files (/vendor/etc/remote.conf/tab1/tab2/tab3 or /system/keymaps/*.kl) but the information about what to edit is so widely scattered all over the place that my head explodes when I try to decipher it.

2. WiFi (and Bluetooth) doesn't work. I don't use bt on it so I don't care about that, but the place I'm intending to use this device at is a bit far from my mesh AP's, so ethernet cables are out of the question. I imagine this could also be solved by using the wifi drivers from the original FW, but again, the information is all over the place. I also kinda assumed this would just work as the image I used was for the exact chip my device has, but nope. The remote only works on this one by the way - when I burned one for a different chip, the remote did absolutely nothing.

This said, I haven't tried a usb wifi dongle yet - I have a spare one, and if that works, I don't care about the wifi issue anymore. Nope, dongle didn't work either :(
But the remote would be pretty nice to get to work...

Hi everyone, since my remote control doesn't work and I can't fix it (because I don't understand), any USB control that will work for me? Any air mouse that works? I use a usb keyboard but only the mouse cursor works, the direction, volume and key buttons do not work, I appreciate your help.

    Netflix wont work from play store
    The TV Version of Netflix needs Widevine Level 1 DRM, This cannot be added to your device with a firmware, Patched Netflix Apk Now Available

    Amazon Prime Wont Work
    A. Like Netflix Install the mobile app, the TV version needs Widevine Level 1

    Disney+ No Sound
    A. Fixed Earlier Release

    No Root
    There Is No Root In This Firmware Because This Is a User Build (Not User Debug)
    User Build: This Is Like The official Android Tv Devices (Like Mi Box), it does not have root or TWRP, Uses Release Keys and is SELINUX enforced
    Why?
    This Makes More Apps Show Up In The Play Store that didn't show before, (Example: Isp Android TV live tv app, only shows in Play Store On non rooted and SELINUX enforced devices, also the streams in the app do not even play in rooted devices.) And other Apps With Similar Issues On Non Certified Devices....

    Thanks for the reply and eagerly waiting for manual update. The existing rom is almost like stock one. Happy with it, and the manual update would enhance it further.

    I tried sideloading many .apk for prime video of different versions and both platforms - mobile and android tv. Even tried aptroid.tv app store with someone's suggestions on google.
    However, the mobile versions did not even install. And the TV versions though installed but returned with the same error. Only trailers are able to play. Main content isn't playing and the error "Something went wrong" shows up.

    If you could help me with any working apk for prime video, kindly provide. Just like the netflix you provided.

    Thank you so much in advance Aidan.
    hey v7 is now available, most are uploaded 2 still uploading :)

    Hello Timosat, as I understood I have to find ly remote file and then after several step sut this folder in aidans rom... Where to find the right remote folder for my box? I have the remote.conf from a previous rom can I use this file?
    I read that you use Atvx 4 rom to do this ? You choosed this rom because your remote works with this rom?
    It's a long process with patience. Your remote.conf file has to be renamed to remote.tab1 and use any good file explorer eg mixexplorer and transfer tthe remote file to vendor/etc folder .But before you do this make sure you are rooted. You may try and root Aidan's rom first by patching recovery.Partition method.And see if your remote will work. As for my case yes I use atvx4 rom because I've tried Aidan's rom my remote did not work. So I made (should I call it hybrid) rom.By taking system.PARTITION from Aidan's rom and substitute it in atvx4 and also patching atvx4 recovery.PARTITION with Magisk.Then I repacked and flashed to my box.
