Can you tel me what is the difference betwin 54.5 and 9.2 ATV

User: makis1024 explained previously,
V9.2 is rooted by SuperSu
v54.5 -(Ugoos based firmware?) -root can be selected either by SuperSu or Magisk methods.
Otherwise they look identical(?)

Is there any way to clear the default browser app in slimbox 15 on x96max plus2.
See pic attached, can I unselect the radio button? Or is there other way to clear.

The problem is, is when running other programs and chosing an external player, my players don't all show up.
ever since I've selected a default browser as soul.

My other box where the default browser is still set to none (nothing selected) I get 15 players show up to select from.

This box with soul browser selected as default browser removes VLC player from the list even if it was already chosen is the default player.
If I select Activity Stub then VLC will show up but I'm still missing 10 other players. The program that I'm trying to select a player in is bubbleUPnP. But players missing in other apps as well, seems hit and miss in different apps for MX player to show up in the popup list to chose an external player.

It's odd these boxes are the same hardware with the same programs installed but act so different when trying to use external players.
I might have to factory reset if all else fails.

Thanks Rainey

Ok, fixed.

It seems after doing the above it didn't seems to help. " select Activity Stub"

But after a reboot all is normal, all players are listed as a choice when picking an external player.

Version 11.* (Android 11) maps KEYCODE_RED to settings and KEYCODE_BLUE to all apps. Such mappings cause conflicts with apps that actually use those keys (such as StbEmu). Wondering if there is a way to disable those mappings. Thanks!

@SlimHouse @Reaper Man
...any chance to switch the SLIMBOX backend to LineageOS 20 (Android 13) for Amlogic GXL/GXM/G12*/SM1 Family Devices ?

Some -maybe- useful (re)sources:
- Device tree for generic Amlogic S912 boards
- s912 with qca9377 wifi and QCA bluetooth, 3Gb of DDR3 744Mhz RAM

Hope that inspires !

Hi Reaper Man & @SlimHouse,
With Version 11.* AOSP (Android 11). KEYCODE_RED is mapped to "settings" and KEYCODE_BLUE is mapped to "all apps". Such mappings cause conflicts with apps that actually use those keys (such as StbEmu). I have tested the SlimBox firmware on both Tanix X4 and X96Max+ Ultra boxes and they both behave the same way. The original factory firmware doesn't behave like this. I am wondering what was added in SlimBox to define such mappings, and if there is a way to turn them off. Thank you for your help!

Slimhouse took the firmware from Ugoos AM7 X4 as base and created TWRP and firmware for different China boxes. All other China tv box manufacturer put some stuff together and a crappy firmware and sold X4 CPU , for low budget customers. If they would create own firmware like Ugoos firmware they wouldn't sale their boxes for 50 bugs, but for double that price.
On the other hand why should a customer buy a China cheap tv box with s905x4 and android 11 and not a s905x3 with android 9 and put slimbox Rom wich works like a charm? Slimbox for sure will fix in the future his firmware for X4 tv boxes but for the moment his x3 Roms are state of art.

I located the global_keys.xml inside framework-res.apk. It didn't define anything related to KEYCODE_RED or KEYCODE_BLUE. I copied framework-res.apk from the original factory stock firmware to replace the file in SlimBox, The result is still the same. Those two keys are still being mapped. So it's not framework-res.apk.

\system\framework\framework-res.apk

 

[lchang.atsoft]

\system\framework\framework-res.apk

As I said in the previous post, \system\framework\framework-res.apk is not the source of the mappings. I replaced the file with the one from the factory stock, and the mappings are still there. Any other ideas where the mappings might be defined?

It took me a while, but I finally found it. The mappings are implemented in /system/framework/services.jar, in a method named interceptKeyBeforeDispatching(). Now I just need to figure out how to modify it.

Most probably you will never get an Ugoos port (like 54.3) for IT6334. I wish that I am wrong, but sadly I don't think so....

Is it not only the difference of WiFi and Bluetooth chip drivers?
