Awesome work!
Going to install & test this tonight after I scrape all the dust off it

Edit: Installed, everything has gone perfect so far!
Restoring my apps currently so will test some apps, games and Kodi. Hopefully all goes according to plan.
Many many thanks mate

Edit 2: Only real problem I've run into is not being able to scale the screen size. I've got a 1920x1080 TV but I always have to scale back for all my Android Set Top boxes. Got something I will try & will report back if it works.

 

[opiate81]

Ok It's not perfect but I got an app called Screen Resolution that I managed to sort of scale back with. I managed to get the width set nicely but the height is still cut off (cant quite see status bar) not a real big deal now though as the width is what was really killing me.

Latest Kodi nightly works beautiful, havent tried passthrough audio yet.
Games, GTA San Andreas works, lots of kids games I have work great.
Retroarch emulator works great with shaders as well (big + for me )

I'll now leave it on overnight playing movies to see if there are any crashes/lockups. I dont anticipate anything bad though.
Feels real smooth!
Apart from my screen scaling gripe this is really a great firmware and for my uses it craps all over Mad Catz's lame efforts

Great to hear some additional feedback the default output is 1920x1080 so I too have the same issue , but I was able to set my tv's hdmi aspect ratio to full 100% doesn't seem to effect any of my other devices.

is this 1 version stable ? any bugs ?

Yes, minus the unsupported ui elements such as the brightness settings and battery icon. The next update today will address some of those things.

Great job.. Thank you very much.

But i have 2 questions.

1- how many dpi you use? The original firmware is 320 dpi. I think fonts are very small.

2- is possible return to original firmware?

Edit: Another question.

3- can it write in NTFS external hard disk?

 

[Dimitris Dinozzo]

oo nice can you make a custom kernel 2 with 2.0 GHz oc ?

 

[MikeInNs]

Thanks for all your work on this! I was hoping someone would pick this up as Mad Catz seriously dropped the ball on this.
I will follow your install instructions and see if I can get it going and will follow up with the results, hopefully tonight or over the weekend.
If this works I am sure you made a whole lot of people happy!

Not yet haven't added support I was rushing to get this out. Actually 320 does not work stock for me used 160 dpi and that's what the devices binaries automatically set I've changed it to 213 tv dpi and removed nav bar will see in next update. Yes , you can make a full backup in twrp which you will be able to restore.

I'll give it a go a bit later for now I'm focusing on getting people situated on their devices with Cyanogenmod and Android TV.

My TV unfortunately doesn't have that option. Suppose that's what I get for getting a $1400 Hitachi 3D TV lol
Hopefully some of the better display/resolution apps update to be compatible with lollipop and all will be solved

No lockups overnight with different movies playing, different resolutions etc So happy with this to become a fulltime FW as it is now for me

Does it have any hdmi settings at all? I would play around with those it may have a different naming for it. So far all of the TV I have used have this setting but it was named differently some had it under options with zoom.

Many thanks for trying to 'save' the MOJO

I've tried this ROM, works ok albeit it's a mobile/tablet ROM but I guess it's fine for now.

The ultimate goal would be to have Android TV running on the MOJO with the following 'Android TV' specific apps working:

Android TV Launcher : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
YouTube for Android TV : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube.tv
Google Cast Receiver : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.mediashell

eventually: the remote server for play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote (that the client we install in phone/tablet, the server code is unlisted afaik)

This is source built with Android google apps from the Android TV developer kit. I'm working on a new apps package up to date from the nexus player very time consuming I'm almost finished

That's impressive. Gj!

Mine does have zoom, I'll have a bit more of a play with it but it hasn't helped with other boxes in the past.
It's not too bad at the moment, I can scale the screen within Kodi so that takes care of movies etc. Just a few games and apps.
They're all apps I know like the back of my hand so I know where to click if it's chopped off anyway

When do you plan to releaseing your Android TV port?
