Poison ROM


Introduction
Welcome to the Poison ROM thread.

As promised, we're delivering a stunning quality ROM to the S912 community. Even though it was originally made for the T95Z, it may or may not work on other S912 Devices as well.

All bugs within the firmware are fixed as well as a lot of extra features added.
A lot of time and effort has been put into this project so if you feel the ROM is good enough for a donation, you can DONATE HERE

This ROM was originally created for the T95Zdevice, you can purchase the 2/16GB version here or the 3/32GB version here

Installation
NOTE: If your device is not on android 7.1.2 you must flash stock 7.1.2 with USB burning tool to update the bootloader.

USB Burning Tools can be downloaded from here.

If you have the T95Z device (Normal Ram, not LP Ram version), I have modified the Stock Firmware to include Custom Recovery (TWRP) already, there is no need to flash Custom Recovery if you flash the modified Stock 7.1.2 Firmware below. Just boot into Recovery and Flash Poison Rom.

Here is the T95Z 7.1.2 Modified Stock Firmware with TWRP pre-installed for 2/16 - Download here

Here is T95Z 7.1.2 Modified Stock Firmware with TWRP pre-installed for 3/32 - Download here


If you have one of the newer T95Z boxes with the LP Ram and for some reason your Firmware version is not 7.1.2, you will need to flash the LP Ram version 7.1.2 of Firmware, this is unmodified Stock Firmware, meaning that twrp is not pre-installed.

Here is the LP Ram Version T95Z 7.1.2 Stock Firmware for 3/32: Download here

Here is the LP Ram Version T95Z 7.1.2 Stock Firmware for 2/16: Download here

NOTE: For Non T95Z devices, you must have TWRP recovery installed on your device, if your device is not the T95Z and you have your own devices Stock 7.1.2 Firmware installed, you can flash the Custom Recovery (TWRP) for S912 devices below.

2gb Ram S912 TWRP can be downloaded from here:
3gb Ram S912 TWRP can be downloaded from here.


NOTE: v3.0+ is compatible with 1/8, 1/16, 2/8, 2/16, 3/16 and 3/32 variants.
One Package for them all

2. Perform a Standard Wipe (Click wipe, swipe to wipe)
3. Select Install and Install the Poison zip file

7.1.2 official and my port(both build 1015) have some stabillity issues, thus the reason i stuck with build 1013 7.1.1

nope 3/32GB variant has a newer build with alot of fixes(build 1075), so the 3/32GB variant will be 7.1.2, ill do more work on the 2/16GB variant and try porting the 1075 build from the 3/16GB variant

 

[islandfever]

[antouaa]

Hey, great rom. It's super fast and lean.

Few questions.

How do I get my kodi build to auto load into kodi on start. I've added the kodi.zip into the media folder from your 7.1.2 rom, but i'm assuming it needs a trigger for this rom?

Also, the boot animation is SUPER loud. Is there a way to turn off the sound, remove it or replace it?

Cheers

in /system/etc get the bootvideo
rename it bootvideo.mp4
remove the audio with whatever program you desire on pc, rename back to bootvideo, place back in system/etc, reboot

As for kodi, you can download the latest kodi, i use kodi 18, i havent messed around with extensions or addons

Also thanks for the feedback

 

[whiteak]

@simonchunk Link for the boot video with no sound, download here
Just place it as Ricky has said above in system/etc, overwrite existing file, reboot and should be no sound.

 

[simonchunk]

Thanks guys ?

Just to be clear with my kodi question, I want it to load a certain build on first boot. I akready know how to load kodi and other apps.

I've seen the stock boxes do this and I've found a kodi.zip in the 'media' folder of the 7.1.2 rom. The zip contains a build. Dies anyone know how to get it to load on first boot?

Aslong as your device currently has 7.1.1 installed yes, simple perform a wipe and flash

Install went smooth (from 7.1.1l but will replace boot-animation with no-sound edition #whatanoise
Another question...is it possible to put a bunch of APK's i always use in a folder or something to be installed 'automagiccaly' or is that possible with Aroma later on?
So far so good! #goodwork #readyfortesting

Okay...after some minutes i noticed the following:

*It's fast!!!
* Google Play services are out of date
* Google Play still wants you to accept agreements every time you start it up
* Google Play still starts an update every time you start it up (could be services related)
* Almost no apps installed (no browser/kodi etc). And yes, I waited aprrox 7 minutes after first boot like before.
I presume it is to keep the ROM as clean as possible? But if so, after you click an icon you should be able to select an app you installed yourself maybe? Cause even after I install Chrome, browser button on home-screen says: app isn't installed
* Changing Clock in Screensaver Settings from Digital to Analogue does not work. (I know, not mportant at all)
* Netflix not possible to install from PlayStore (was not possible before also). Maybe easy to fix if device name is changed?
*Maybe Developer Mode should be enabled by default? (to use USBdebugging/Unknown sources)
* Did I mentioned already that it is blazing fast?
* I don't use WiFi but it seems to work just fine

That's it for starters....so no big things at all, a very good score for a first release!!!
Thanks!
