QUOTE(tharmaraj @ Oct 30 2018, 09:29 AM) Thanks everyone to feedback on my queries; Basically I'm looking for Unrooted box to play the following: Finally you help me to ask the queries..1. AOTG 2. playtv@Unifi 3. KODI 4. Preferably can play 4K Videos because this is the trend now.  I'm also finding for the box tv.. Unrooted box for us is good if we have Unifi and astro account. Else, we wasted to pay tv subscriptions especially unifi playtv.. QUOTE(KIntos @ Oct 30 2018, 10:48 AM) Depend on your budget. I also do some research for TX3, but so far it's 2GB RAM and 16GB storage only.Tanix Tx3 max meet your requirement especially unrooted box. Spec wise it can support 4k but depending on source and 4k tv. I using it and confirmed can use kodi and playtv@unifi. Aotg didnt install since i dont have axtro acc and dont have 4k tv. Not sure can last longer more than 4 or 5 years or not.. Now the more latest versions, the file size more bigger and more drain the RAM.By the way search for H96max 4GB ram and 64GB storage, saw some of the forumer mentioned that unifi playtv not support.. Haizz...  QUOTE(megahertz @ Oct 30 2018, 10:56 AM) im previous minix u9h user. i can confirm all those is supported on minix. other than that , im not sure. The price of minix make me fainted.. It's too beyond the target already.. Just a bit disadvantages the RAM is not so strong.. QUOTE(voncrane @ Oct 30 2018, 11:43 AM) Minix Neo U1 or better Neo U9-H ticks all the boxes. Want HDR support amongst others? Get the Neo U9-H.. Else Neo U1 is good enough. Can handle both 4K HDR and SDR.. Except of course, the HDR is ignored. I saw some of the box tv can root and also can unroot back.. Is it true? Alternatively, look at Mecool M8S Pro L or the more recent one.. But can't 100% guarantee it'll all be well. Plus you might have to unroot or mask root yourself. Offered earlier.. He says too pricey. |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Oct 30 2018, 12:28 PM) True, compared to others.. Minix boxes do command a pricier tag. But unlike Apple products (don't lynch me pls), Minix actually makes solid performers to justify the prices. So it's really a matter of one's willingness to cough up more, for that extra performance and peace of mind. Same with the Nvidia Shield TV Box.. Pricier but for its performance, one knows they won't go wrong. As for RAM "not so strong"... 2GB is more than enough for even the most demanding media application or game. Remember, this is Android here and it's all about how the fw handles RAM management and not the size. Bigger isn't always better!  Yes, some boxes can be rooted and unrooted at will. Minix come unrooted. But you can root it or unroot. Others, let you toggle settings to switch between rooted and otherwise. While some can install Magisksu, which allows root hiding/masking. But for RAM is the most important, knowing that the Android drain of RAM if install and launch lot of TV apps unless it's apple TV (Sorry, I less eat apple..  ) I always though that watching 4K resolutions, at least need higher RAM and GPU.. Am I say correct? 2GB ram for me might be last longer around 2 or 3 years, then need to change the device again. For boxes, I won't be play games but more in entertainment. Any suggesting for boxes model number or name for rooted and unrooted anytime? (Don't ask me to google it by myself.. I do a lot of research but getting more complicated.. ) I just find the boxes not so high price and unroot boxes.. But if can root and unroot boxes anytime with not so extremely high price, that is ok at least I can do some homework for it..  |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Oct 30 2018, 05:42 PM) Yes, playing h.265 4K, etc videos does require a capable CPU and GPU combo.. However, it's also vital that the firmware is solid enough and able to tap into its hardware and manage resources properly. So Android at its core does not simply drain ram unnecessarily. It's either the firmware is shit or the user installed poorly developed apps that then eat up resources. Again, the importance of buying a good box. Anyways, I believe I've said enough. I've also recommended a few devices, with pros and cons. Up to you to decide if you want to buy one box and use for years without much worry or simply go after a super cheaper one and roll the dice. Ok, appreciate for your advice..   I think I still to be hunting for the boxes and let me continue to do for the research.. QUOTE(arvind13 @ Oct 30 2018, 06:05 PM) Just sharing a good link for comparison chart meant for android boxes which i use to decide on which box i should get.. Cool.. This chart table..  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EBG...DU2sHjuC6o/edit It's android box engineer.  QUOTE(KIntos @ Oct 30 2018, 06:28 PM) If you were thinking andriod box can last you 4-5 years with tight budget. I guess you will end up cant get what you want. No one can quarrantee 2-3 years down the road what will happen on tv box. I bet you should go for apple tv with netflix, youtube and imovie can last you 3 years minimum. Seems like there is nothing exist in this world which can meet my requirement one..You can always buy h96max with 4gb ram since it meet your budget but i can foresee you will complaint the box later on after couple of months usage and few update. Things will go haywire. As of now 2gb/16gb rom with good firmware support is sufficient for 4k usage and current usage. For how long it will last im really dont know. Anyway, thanks for your info... I shall adjust my budget and my requirement.. |

Walao.. 2 engineers argue together with the box TV?
 Do you both want to set up the meeting meet together and draw it for it? Perhaps both you can draw it so that can get more picture and idea rather than write a long essay for it..  |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Jan 9 2019, 11:13 PM) The Google Play Store isn't an easy app to install and get running on most devices that ship without it.. Much less for heavily China-oriented/themed boxes. I suggest you forget about doing that and just stick to manual apk downloads and sideload. There are also alternative markets (as apps) that can make it easier. I haven't test yet my internet speed at my kampung (tunggu balik kampung) But I got test with my another friend (who has a Unifi 300Mbps) really awesome.. Most of the channels include FOX taiwan and hollywood movies able to watch...I plan wanna to install astro go and playunifi apps (which need rely to play stores) inside this Tian Mao box, then almost perfect already.. But haizz.. seems like still have a limitation for this box. This post has been edited by JuneResources: Jan 10 2019, 09:26 AM |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 10 2019, 09:40 AM) Astro Go and UniFi TV everywhere can just search the APK manually and install it. No need Google Play. Either they will work with this box or not I'm not sure. QUOTE(voncrane @ Jan 10 2019, 12:29 PM) What Fruitie says.. You don't need Play Store to install both apps. And your concern should be if they'll work on the box or not as they are both fussy apps. QUOTE(megahertz @ Jan 10 2019, 02:22 PM) just do sideload or install like aptoide store also ok. can browse any apps u want, then it will download the apk and install right away. just like google play Thanks a lot for the advice..Seems like need explorer to access the file to install apk one-by-one... |
