Has anyone tried out the latest Mecool M8s PRO LB Tv Stock nexus rom?

When I bought this device for less than 250 on Laz, thought there was no more hope for customising the rom, by default is a good spec of box, but because of the stock Mecool interface and UI, is really bland.

Lo and behold, just a few days ago was simply googling for it again, and finally this guy Magendaz has finally released for the LB version which was also notoriously famous for its Bluetooth and WiFi issues when flashed with another non LB firmwares.

It was really fairly easy to install, just download the OTA update and save it on my USB and then proceeded to using the OTA function in the stock firmware. Just needed one more factory reset to remove the pesky auto-reboot when you're on the new firmware.

All is fine now, smoother and more pleasant looking Android OS UI.

But the MIRACAST function sucks big time, still lagging and the audio is being delayed.

Nope, I did not have the chance to test out A or UnifiTV app as I do not subscribe to anymore of their packages. While for the UnifiTV, I have the STB. Don't want to overload the tv box full of apps. Although there are still a lot of space given that I have only a few basics like Kodi and stuffs.

I tried sideloading the UnifiTV apks, both phone and tablet version, can login, but when you want to play, it keeps show DEVICE ERROR. I don't have any AstroGo account. So I assume is not working as well.

Rom is definitely smooth and stable, kodi and others are working fine. 4k not quite, tested out with the built in youtube app, kodi app, the 4k seems to be stuttering after a while playback. I guess the device is not really that strong, but other than that is all fine. I didn't try by playing through files though. But I believe is the same.

There are pictures here, but I suggest you flash it over through OTA update, and factory reset once more to eliminate the autoreboot. Also the firmware is PRE ROOTED with TWRP as well. Beware.

Well for now it does perform the basics like youtube,kodi and basic stuffs for viewing. But is a bit disappointing at 4k and above. But I hardly watch the TV nowadays, this tv box was for my parents to watch their dramas and stuffs.

I've only decided to get rid of the Mecool stock rom is because I find it not aesthetically pleasing to the eyes in terms of UI.
