HD confirmed already as I am currently watching SANTA CLARITA DIET.. just finished last night, season 3.. damn, they stopped the show.. damn u netflix.. androidpctv already did a pattern test on this box and managed to get 4K..

AndroidPCTV GT1-A

I found out that this ROM comes with Chainfire SuperSu. What you did to make it run AstroGo is merely removing the root.

But I have a question for you, prior to removing root, were you able to run Netflix in HD ?

yes, before unroot also can run in HD

bro, there is an existing beelink thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4044338/+1160

better keep all info about beelink boxes there; if not buyers won't be able to find it.

Thanks man.. just got my hands on a batch of GT MINI S905X2, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage.. wow, AOTG can be run after full unroot of the system.. blazing fast.. S905X2 is quite impressive.. but avoid unknown brand of S905X2 boxes.. they tend to have random freeze issue.. damn..

the S905x2 chipset received a lot of good reviews.

the Tanix TX5 Max i have, about 3 months now, excellent.

android 8.1, stays cool, fast, good ac wifi, ethernet speed 840mbps, astrogo, hbogo, playtv... all good

32gb storage, perfect for kodi quasar; only thing is it is limited to dts/dd/dd+, can't pass thru dtshdma/ddtruehd.

for general purposes, i will recommend it to anyone for <rm250.

You should have brought in the A version, GT MINI-A. You posted in freaktab before, you are probably aware that the A version is widevine L1 certified and the ROMs are available for it to run ATV or normal Android.

Coming in soon.. both 2GB and 4GB version.. 2GB is already good.. I am using it right now.. performance wise is very similar to a S912 with 3GB RAM for the MINI 2GB.. the CPU really makes the difference.. well, I have to finish my stock of GT1-A first.. well, androidtv interface is not everyone cup of coffee.. ask those mibox users who are in panic when they launch their AOTG for the first time.. all have to tilt their head.. and somemore, the gt mini a is not google certified.. not sure how long the netflix HD/4K will last.. if Beelink really applies for the certification, then expect 50% increase in price.. as I heard it is not cheap for google/netflix cert.. think about it.. how come a box with no sd card slot, 2gb ram, no LAN port, 1 usb port cost more than a box better in spec..

guys... can we discus Beelink in Beelink thread.

leave this thread to TANIX, don't hijack it!!

I don't know what you are talking about.

Android TV interface is not everybody's cup of tea due to Astro creating application which is not Android TV friendly. The ATV user interface itself is very friendly. The devil here is Astro.

Ahhhh.. you never been there.. do use mibox?? do u know that without screen rotation app, the astro go interface go rotate at 180 degree? like this:



Some noob user also like lost when they using androidtv.. eh, my phone can see this app, why my box cant see? They dont realize that their playstore for atv is difference.. they also dont know that normal app when install inside atv, the app shortcut does not appear.. need to install sideload launcher..

I think astro never consider AndroidTV at all.. not sure about their new beta program.. is it compatible or not..

No, again that's is the problem of ASTRO !!!

Nothing to do with Android TV. Android TV can provide a workaround.

Most of the problems of Android TV is because the apps are not written for Android TV.

You could modify the build.prop of Android "persist.sys.app.rotation=force_land or middle_port, that will not require user to rotate the screen. But then for mibox, you have no root, so you can't modify. It's also not recommended to modify it, as it might have implication on other applications.

u dont ask noob user to modify the build.prop.. even sideload also dont understand.. everyone experienced it before, including me.. LOL..

Again that's not the problem of android tv. That's the problem of ASTRO.

1. They make apps which is not TV friendly.
2. They make apps which is submitted to Play Store but not selectable for download for on Android TV.

Hi guys, got my tx3 mini and it is all setup. Been running astro go for a few days using android republica mod apk v8.2.4. However, the astro go app has released a banner mentioning new astro go coming soon since yesterday. and today they are forcing the update on the v8.2.4 version. v8.2.6 on my phone works just fine. any link for 8.2.6 modded apk? searched through the forum but found only 8.2.4

Why don't you run whatever you could find ? I don't think there is any need to mod anything.

I visited android Republica vault a few days ago, the 8.2.6 mod was updated in one of its folders. But I believe there is another mod APK which is Zip Aligned version. Both works just fine.

What is the purpose of zip aligned an apk ? You mean the non zip aligned one not working ? Tx 3 cannot run non zip aligned apk ?

I have tried normal 8.2.6 apk but it detected my device as a rooted device even after I have close root using the built in superSU, rebooted multiple times, reinstall and clear app data. Then I turn towards 8.2.4 mod and it works without any hassle. However, there seems to be some instability issue with 8.2.4 as it crashes sometimes.

thanks for the info, went back to the vault only I realize there is a folder for localtvapk.

got it working with 8.2.6 mod. have anyone tried the beta version? dont know if update will be forced when it roll out.

It looks to me it is because your previous cleaning, even though was complete, but when AstroGo starts up it still falsely detected root. So the mod is to hack it from doing false detection.

If you use Magisk, such problem will not exist. Magisk can be used with original unmodified AstroGo.

But Tx3 mini, I was made to understand it comes shipped without root.
