The one that is not working, what's the error? Also displaying you are using a rooted unit?

Again, that messge about rooted device is a another bad myth, bs.

One of my devices, unrooted still get that message.

Other two unrooted dun get that message, can install, can browse, but just cant load anything to play.

I do not hv the explanations but i suspect astro has spent money and resources to track almost all boxes and block them.

All mobile android or ios devices are fine.

Devices with google androidtv also fine.

Thats what i think.

Yes, these days I stick to my iPad for AOTG. Oh well, HyppTV box works well though. laugh.gif

that bit is another strange aspect.

hyppbox must have come in like a dozen submodels over the years.

with many firmwares, tweaks, mistakes even.

becos we read in more than one thread, almost every new box owner is "playing" with it.

with comments and cries of all sorts - "can't root", "can't find", "can't install", "can't play", can't start!".! biggrin.gif

if u have it working for any app, that's almost look like blind luck, imo.

I did list a few in my earlier reply....  smile.gif


These are a few things.. their importance varies from individual to individual.
*Six Axis app: For wireless game controller support.. PS3, PS4, etc.
*Ads: Block ads in any app... Get rid of at least 95% of ads from apps.. Makes for a more pleasant experience.
*Titanium Backup: Real device backup (apps, their data, wifi networks, etc).. handy in case of a factory reset. You'll be up and running in minutes.. 1-click setup...automatic restore.
*Flash custom ROMs/Kernels, etc..
*Having system-wide access also allows control over bloatware/pre-installed malware... basically, you can completely delete or disable any app.. be careful, delete the wrong one(s) and end up royally screwed.

As for how safe it is to unroot your device. That lies entirely on your firmware... Coded properly and you should experience zero issues... Else, you might suffer a soft brick or even worse... a hard brick, making your device a paperweight/door-stopper.

*
ah, i missed that bit..

valid list.

in yr experience, is there any app that fails to work with unrooted and works only with rooted?

Because the HyppTV box is free, and usually the first Android box we get smile.gif

I have the old V5...and started sideloading once a hack was found...just to see how far that can go...that old box was too slow for my liking and only played with it for 1 week then put in the storeroom... I don't even use it for HyppTV...lol...

biggrin.gif

but hey... hypptv channels are quite alright.

at least they are reliable and many are in HD, very accpetable.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Apr 9 2017, 12:04 PM)
Lots of apps... Here are a few indispensable ones I run on mobile;
*Xposed Framework
*Greenify
*Root Explorer
*Titanium Backup
*Viper4Android
*Six Axis Controller
*Adaway
*Tasker (Bloody powerful)
*ROM Toolbox
*Terminal Emulator
*StickMount
*Busybox (Powerful)
*Kernel Aduitor
*
more about tools then.

not the popular "entertainment" apps?

like to debunk once and for all - "rooted device" required for astrogo or hyypewhere or iflix or...! biggrin.gif

As you have mentioned... depends on individual case...

For my box... not much customization... wifi & Google account password, a few video settings, a few apps backup via Android Assistant...in 4 years reset box only once...

Switch on...play 1 show...surf youtube...off ...simple life simple needs... lol...
*
when u replace yr tv with a google androidtv one, even simpler.

stick yr hdd usb into the tv usb to playback; tv youtube, tv news, tv netflix, tv kodi, tv popcorn, tv china apps.

If u wish, add astrogo, hyppewhere, ilfix.

one device... truly all-in-one! biggrin.gif

It's the other way round bro...original UN-rooted is required, even then the apps are finicky...or rather the method used to determined UN-rooted status sucks...

Right... which is why i am puzzled so many people when failed to install some app will start with, "i rooted my box but still fail to install....".

Q2. Is watching videos on Terrarium TV illegal?
No. Terrarium TV uses streaming technology instead of torrenting (P2P). Unless you share or upload videos, you’ll be ok.

It's nice and all I guess.. But I don't like it due to its obstructive ads.. Can be very loud too.. Now, if rooted, one simply installs that one app and poof... No ads.. tongue.gif

now, that is nice - if one use that app frequently.

If Astro in your family daily life. Keep it! Until now there is NO stable Astro replacement even it is a paid IPTV service. Most of them has been interrupted due to Astro crack down.

My subscription restored but quality drop until I cannot stand. LOL

if u are astro staff or shareholder, will u not do the same?! laugh.gif

i think astro is sustained by live soccer and the chinese channels.

die-die they will pull all strings to block anyone trying to get license to do epl.

die-die they will pull all strings to block anyone trying to bring some good alternative chinese/canto channels. biggrin.gif

if they can, they will want unifi to stop laying cables! tongue.gif

Someone selling locally RM 650...IMHO not worth since I can get from the US if so desire...

rm650... for 2/8gb.
i suppose the value lies with netflix, amazon, hulu, hbo USA.

if can't get that, hard to justify...

buy from usa... warranty loss.

well, it always work out that way... there's a value to everything useful.

Otherwise not worth.

Warranty not loss...just leceh...same with buying Shield, and most boxes from Lazada all ship from China...

vpn, netflix, amazon... running cost RM300 per month?

that's a new box every month!! laugh.gif



true that... small items buy online... warranty risks.

bigger items like TV or AVR, u have the actual shop details, no problem.

That's cuz Himedia has a "wrapper"... Custom code within the firmware to tie Kodi in & smoothen things..

himedia wrapper misunderstood here!

himedia wrapper is for q5/q10qro (hisilicon) android7 kodi17 users, built especially for minix users who insist on usb playback with kodi for artwork reasons and do not want to make use of the superior native player after paying for it! tongue.gif

not applicable to h8+ and all other models.

for details on this wrapper, please read himedia thread.

my advice to you is android5.1 or android7.0.

android6 is kind of nobody's child.
