Xfinity TV Mod Android Box (HDMI output)

[jimihendrix2000]

@jimihendrix2000 What Android Box are you using?

The box is called a Zidoo 9xs, it’s running android 6. It’s a bit of an oddball because it also has an HDMI input.

That might be the issue since it's such an odd box running a really old version of Android.

Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. I’m still grateful for this thread. The limited functionality that I get is much better than zero functionality. Is there anything that you would recommend that I try just for the heck of it?

@jimihendrix2000 Your best and cheapest bet is probably to pick up one of those Onn Android boxes from Wal-Mart. They are usually $15-$20 and are heck of a deal.

Fair enough. Thanks again!

Not sure if you tried it....but navigating and selecting channel after things load up might help....my 1st android tv experience was with a old MiBox....and it would crash often .....slowing down navigation through the app seemed to help.....i eventually moved on to the shield tv pro.

***app supports back to android 5....so it's probably more of a processing power issue than version compatibility

Hey there, so it seems like i have successfully modded the version you posted. It's working on my end...can anyone else give it a test.

I will test on my Shield TV and let you know.

Sadly It will not install.

But Thanks for trying

Did you uninstall the old version (as well as the icon addon)?
I've always needed to remove both

No I just made sure the current version was not running.

I never have needed to completely uninstall the older version and icon addon in order to install the newer ones.

Weird...I've always had too...(main reason i didn't always install the updates, due to having to sign back in again....kinda a pain, have to whip out my mouse.....whole process takes maybe 2 min....but i hate it lol!)
Weird....not sure why that would be....I'd guess at least this time around the signatures aren't matching maybe due to use of different recompile/recompile software.....not sure though.

****edit....just realized using the Shield TV app on my phone i can use the trackpad (mouse) remote instead of digging out my BT mouse i use with my shield (rarely) making signing back into the app not so bad.

I used ApkTool M on my note 10+
I decompiled the apk and did the switch from 0x1 to 0x0 at line 138 (after many other attempts and reverting those non-working changes and testing till it worked)

And recompiled the "project" using the aapt2 option.

Btw I'm basically clueless at this....I've done such mods in the past from guides...never tried blind to this extent

Good News

I uninstalled the old app and also icon like you said to do and I was able to install your modded one just fine.

Seems to be working good so far.

Big Thanks

Not sure how recently it was added, but the "windowed video" is working....just haven't figured out how to get back into the "windowed video" to maximize it...probably requires touch/mouse interaction

***edit...looks like the way back to maximized video is to select the channel from the list again or a different channel. It's picture in picture mode so works minimized on home screen etc

Thank you for confirming it !!
Glad to add to the thread, this thread and the dev thread with the user getting root for the shield with Ui Upscaling are my favorites....the user knowledge sharing takes me back to the better days of xda

So you did a fantastic job

It has been running perfect for several hours.

So I guess you will explain how you fixed it to ytsejam1138 so he can continue to update it in the future?

Thanks again to you and of course ytsejam1138 for these important updates!!!

You guys rock!!!

Do you know what that little icon is at the top right is during videos?

You can't seem to highlight it to click on.
