Installation
- TWRP (I used 2.8.2.0)
- advanced wipe recomended (rom has gapps included)
- install as any other custom rom
- IMPORTANT : optimizing google play services can take some time ! took on my device 1-2 minutes.
- Initial bluetooth pairing can be skipped by using "ESC" key from keyboard or wait 2-3 minutes, the google setup via your smartphone is functional (worked for me )

bugs:
- Cast Receiver (youtube App) : sometimes it works, while it shouldn't (logcat indicates invalid certificate - as we don't have an official supported device i'm afraid I can't fix this) (removed)
- Bluetooth MOJO controller - doesn't always pair or re-pair after reboot - could be ROM related or controller related. Once paired it works quite good. more stable with lineageos 13 !
- Don't update the youtube app ! the App will crash as we currently don't support rastarization (OpenGL ES v3) https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/chromium-graphics/how-to-get-gpu-rasterization
-If the installation get stuck on "finishing boot" -> wait 10 seconds, then hard reboot (pull the power) - this in only needed once.

Frequently asked questions & Tips:

Thanks to minmao:
Q: Is it possible to add an option to change the display resolution as in the stock from? My TV is a 4k set and Mojo boots into 4k automatically, however, since it only supports 4k at 30 fps, everything seems so slow and games are impossible.
A: if you choose best framerate in developer options, it gives 1080p60. Now it is perfect. Thanks again!

Q: Are gapps pre-installed in this ROM?
A: Yes, all basic gapps for androidTV are available

Q: is SU enabled by defaults
A: No, but if you want to have SU, check the detailed install instructions below for more info

Q : Any detailed install instruction ?
A : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75093267&postcount=41 thanks to King_Dex (please note flashing gapps is not needed atm).


Other tips:

The google assistent can also be enabled by sideloading the following APP:
[url]https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-app-for-android-tv-android-tv/google-app-for-android-tv-android-tv-3-2-0-187674027-release/[/URL]
Works quite OK, but cannot integrate with Google Home App - so no control from a google home speaker .

The nvidia games (versioin 4.X) can also be sideloaded if people are interested , but don't try the 5.X, this will NOT work.
[url]https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/nvidia/nvidia-games/nvidia-games-4-17-21865207-release/[/URL]

Cast support : as the official google cast app is not fully functional , this App has been removed in new builds.
I recommend using :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionitech.airscreen as an good alternative

Carp_be, do you have any donation link, I would be pleased to donate some " as others" I think so

Hey Wmapa, it's nice to propose this but for me this is a hobby project I'm not going to accept donations (how strange this might sound). If you want to do a donation then donate something to UJD, nono2lozere or lineageos. I'm just using their work to build something without their effort I would not been able to produce my "rom"'s.

It is such a nice surprise for new year!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

hello, great job, gave me a couple of failures at the first start. to configure it, wifi networks did not appear. connected by cable all good. Install kodi and I think there is a problem when going out and entering that sound does not work. but still it is magnificent. we wait for a new compilation fixing faults. thanks again

 

[carp_be]

New build is available thanks to the effort of nono2loreze

PS : still don't update youtube App - it will still crash :'( (busy checking for solution)

During my "tests" I rarely had issues with WiFi , I do remember that 1 time during the setup 1 had to retry 2-3 times with connecting to my network before the M.O.J.O wanted to setup a connection.

Related to your sound issue,I installed kodi on the last build and I could not "reproduce" your issue. Please try out the latest build

to reproduce the problem of kodi you have to exit the program with the exit button that has kodi up to the left (do not minimize) and when entering again the sound is not heard.

Let me share some experience that may help other users using this great rom:
1. The lastest xposed installed and worked on the latest version via recovery. As you might know, the anroid TV does not support mouse right click (the same thing on the shield tv). I was able to use 'xposed addition" module to map the menu key on my air mouse to exit key, so I could have total control of the mojo without using the controller, which is heavy and stiff. Although I still have to use it to wake the mojo from sleep, since my air mouse could not. Also long press the power button on the air mouse will bring out the shutdown/restart menu.
2. If you have a 4K tv and want to have higher resolution of youtube, you could sideload the mobile version of youtube APK and you could get 1440p video. I also used youtube+ in xposed to select 1440p by default. Although I could not really tell the difference from 1080p...I tried to tell myself it does look better...
Thanks again to carp_be for the great rom and quick updates. I almost feel silly to buy a shield TV, since the mojo now could satisfy most of things I did with a shield TV.

No luck this week, I ran again into the issue with not booting on first startup with my latest build. Next week I'm ski-ing holiday, so next update would be probably middle of February

Hi there! I just came here from the fb mojo group, because I have an (stock) mojo with some problems (the system upgrade is broken), and I'm trying to install the LineageOS using @King_Dex guide (thanks, by the way), and I'm stuck in TWRP, I'm not sure I'm following the instructions right...

First of all, I have all the files recommended so far, Installed Towelroot v1, and using flashify booted using the twrp mojo img (twrp_3.2.1-0_mojo.img), but, that is! TWRP doesn't show me my SD Card (32GB SD card in a basic cardreaderm in the USB 2.0 port)

So, TWRP has any option to mount my SD card? I really hope you can help me, I want to see what I can do with the MOJO :fingers-crossed:

Thanks in advance!
Al.

Hi!

While in TWRP Recovery Mode, the system can only read the internal storage (sdcard0) and the external storage (sdcard1, which is the SD card slot). It cannot recognize any USB devices connected to it, and you have to directly insert your SD Card (along with the files you need) inside the specific SD Card slot of the Mojo (near the HDMI port).

Thanks! worked just right... Just finished flashing lineage, but when I was flashing the gapps arm 6.0 (stock), twrp freezed, and I had to reboot... now is booting lineageos (looking good!), but missed gaapps and addonsu... can I install them from lineage? or do i need to start again?

Update: errr... I'm doing some basic test, and the google store (androitv, I think) is working just fine... I'm kind of a lost of what to do next, any sugestions? (do I need addonsu?)

Thanks!

Flashing gapps is not recommended on this androidTV rom. I've included the majority of google apps needed for AndroidTV. If you think this rom is missing a major gapp, you can sideload it via the file explorer. Please let me know which once you miss then I can check if I can include them in an next update.

Best what you could do is to wipe again all data (also system) and install the rom clean. Addonsu, if you really what this should be flashed once lineageos is flashed. You can always install this later via TWRP.

On my beta builds and own running build I each time install, VLC player, MX player, these give good codex support and DS video so I can stream video's from my synology NAS.

Hi carp_be,

I would like to report an issue I just noticed.
For some reason, the resolution trick I posted no longer work in the 0106 rom, even when "optimzed refresh rate" is selected, the Mojo is stuck at 4K30 instead of going to 1080P60.
I had to flash my mojo back to the 0101 rom to get back the 1080p60 mode.
Not sure what you did differently with the newer rom, but it would great if we could get the option working again in the future release. Of course, I am happy using the 0101 rom as is.

It should be due to new proprietary blobs. Maybe a build.prop trick exist, but I don't know it.

I'm having mixed feelings with the new video drivers :/ my Sony surround system (bdv e880) doesn't properly work in combination with the mojo since the new drivers (flickering on 720p - 1080p is fine) . The original molly drivers didn't had this issue. So I'll revert the drivers in next build as i'm mainly viewing on 720p tv atm . Hope this solves the "optimized refresh rate".

Next week I have again some time to start building the improvements from nono2lozere :victory:

 

[carp_be]

New update available ! thanks to the new audio HAL from nono2lozere, voice search in the androidTV remote app is now working! really cool

The google assistent can also be enabled by sideloading the following APP:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-app-for-android-tv-android-tv/google-app-for-android-tv-android-tv-3-1-2-179594536-release/
Works quite OK, but cannot integrate with Google Home App - so no control from a google home speaker .

The nvidia games (versioin 4.X) can also be sideloaded if people are interested , but don't try the 5.X, this will NOT work.
