My parents are not well-verse with IT stuff and it is really difficult for them to learn and use. That's why I stick to Astro at home while I use Android box at my own place. If you intend to find a box which works like Astro, turn on and can straight select channels via remote, there's none. All Android boxes require one to navigate from apps to apps and select from there. |

Don't said TV box, even a normal blu-ray player I also need time to time remind my father how to use it as he will forgotten sometimes due to the menu selection confuse him. By the way my father already 80+.If you intend to find a box which works like Astro, turn on and can straight select channels via remote, there's none. All Android boxes require one to navigate from apps to apps and select from there. For TV box, he refuse to learn it already, same as he refuse to learn the mobile phone function, he only learn how to pick-up, calling and end the call. That it, haha! So Astro is still there because that one look normal to my father and easier for my father to use it. This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Oct 21 2018, 04:55 AM |

QUOTE(jhlou @ Sep 27 2018, 09:31 AM) Thanks to pointers given by @syumul, I finally able to play Astro On the go to my M8S box Steps: 1) Boot to stock firmware recovery mode 2) Run TWRP311.zip 3) Install Magisk.zip 4) Reboot back to box 5) Install Magisk Manager 6) Hide AOTG For other boxes, I believe steps are similar. You just need find a way to boot to recovery mode. To @szecheng, Few ways to run/install TWRP that I read: 1) Install custom rom/firmware for your box. Normally they include TWRP 2) Reboot to firmware recovery mode, run TWRP311.zip 3) Use the Firmware update function, choose local file TWRP311.zip and let box boot and run this file QUOTE(Scissorshand @ Oct 21 2018, 07:35 PM) If Ms Fruitie could just detailed out and TS pinned it on Page 1 As above. |
