Hello Android People...
I need some some help in getting started with my media player which OS sucks massively. The box is a PlayON HD 3D running some lame as pile of junk that I need to blow away and replace with the lastest and greatest version of Andriod.
Here are the specs for the box and some pics to show you the hardware that we have work with. I am looking for any assistance to help me get started in wiping of the rubbish and starting re-loading a real os. I am a linux user so feel free to post any cmd line linux stuff. I have also ROM'd a few Andriod phones in my time so not a complete novice. This is however, my first attempt at flashing a media player.
Any pointers in the right direction would be a great help.... and if anyone has done this before, then I would love to hear from them.
Thanks :highfive:

Running Android 4.x on Realtek 1186
My TV Box is Himedia H910A. This box is running Venus Linux + Android v2.1. Are you able to upgrade it to Android v4.4? Since typical box with RTD1186 only has 512MB RAM, so upgrading to Android v4.4 probably is a better solution. Your challenge is Realtek already stopped working on porting Android to RTD1186 after 2012.

Hi people not sure if I'm even in the right section I have a TV mini pad running android and wanted to know what I could do with it?
Here is a run down of the device. It works well but wanted to know if there are people who can upgrade channel listings or even use these as mini computers its quite small but has loads of sockets and I thought I could eventually use it as a mini computer?
Anyone point me into the right section for TV Android?

I see that many people is interested in Android boxes lately, so because of that I want to share my thoughts of Rikomagic MK68 which is newest media player from this company. For me this device is good choice because it is not too expensive and at the same time it offers good hardware and very good software optimization.
The Rikomagic MK68 is based on 64-bit SoC Octa-core CPU RK3368 with the maximum speed 1.5 GHz. It has also 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB internal memory, if you need more space than you can upgrade it with memory card maximum 32 GB where the GPU is PowerVR G6110. As you can see it has enough strong hardware for any activity.
Many people bought or is interesting in these kind of devices mostly because of KODI. Because these application offers many useful features for watching movies. I've watched several movies in HD and some in SD quality and I can freely say that everything worked perfectly normal. Talking about software or to be precise OS, the Rikomagic MK68 comes with Android 5.1.1 which does not have any unwanted software. So this is good because you don't need to spend your time for deleting trash.
It has 3 x USB ports where the one USB port is for OTG function, but it has also 1 x HDMI port, 1 x optical output, 1 x microSD and 1 x LAN port. LAN supports 10/100/1000M connectivity where the WIFI supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz dual band. So you can see that you have two available choices in which you can choose how you will connect your box to your home network.
Until now I did not find any problems during use so I am very satisfied with this Android box, for more information you can visit their official website. Also for benchmark test, pictures you can go to the site: Rikomagic MK68
very good android box in general, but the only problem i found its relative to mac adress, always changing on every single boot. very weird seems like a firmware bug
Hello there.
About a month or so ago I saw an ad in the Canadian Tire flyer for a new media player for $99 on sale. Now of course I can't share a link just yet, at least not for another 8 more posts. But if you search Canadian Tire website, you can find it.
The purpose of this post is to see if anyone has tried this. It's got some pretty good stats. Plus the fact it has a one year exchange warranty and it's Canadian Tire, so if anything goes wrong with it within 365 days, you bring it back and get a new one. No questions asked. That's very appealing. So... has anyone tried this yet? Here are the stats.

What do you mean by this question? Can you add external storage? If that is indeed your question, then yes. I have a 1TB WD drive hooked up to it and watch "stuff" that way.
I mean to use as internal storage not removalable. Iv tried to get this to work to day but I can only get it to setup as a removable USB. Also this box comes pre rooted so do I need to download SuperSU app? Will that help to get things working proper?
Hey guys,
Remix IO+ is now available on Kickstarter:

System: Remix OS based on Android Nougat
This upgrade puts Remix IO+ on the short list of best devices you can connect to your TV.
Please help us share with a friend who you think might be interested!
When will Android N Remix OS be released for PC?
Again I would like to ask if Remix OS pre-installed on the device will be bloated with ads and recommendations of "fantastic apps" or it will be a kind of premium version of the OS without all that rubbish?
Will we be able to connect a ps4 controller?
I have pledge remix io+ but please guys let us ask Jide to include a microphone in the controller so that we can do voice search over YouTube and use Google now voice search. I sent them an email asking this. Please guys send an email too. This is a function that needs to be implemented. Put a microphone in the controller like nvidia shield

That's what I'd like to see.
An OS with almost nothing, certainly no "Microsoft freebies" that have bloated the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.
Just a basic browser, maybe email, google store, so you can go and grab FFox and whatever email YOU want, whatever apps YOU want.
If theyw ant to have freebies for buyers, let them host the apps on their website and people can grab what they WANT.
I was thinking about this device, but it haven't got one very important thing for me. Optical sound output, spdif. I have other TV Box and with Kodi I am able to play 5.1 films and music with that. If this device will have in future optical sound output, I will buy it. Stereo is not enought these times for many people, especially for TV Box. Most people which like to play films on TV in home have now 5.1 or 7.1 digital sound system. Even my 7-years cheap old TV have this output. Keep going and think about this.
But thank You for Remix OS. On my laptop and PC it is very good thing to have. Thank You for Your work.
maybe next remix IO add dvb s2 ?

Hello all,
first of i want to thank you all for the great work, XDA was and is my biggest source of Android information.
Now for my request. But first some background info.
Recently my company has put up for sale some old hardware from which i have chose an HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF (price 30 euro) with the following specs:
-Intel i5-3570 3,40GHz (4 cores)
-4GB DDR3
-no HDD but either i will use an USB 3.0 32gb drive or buy a small HDD or SSD
-there is no graphic card but it has an integrated Intel HD 2500 with HDMI port.
At home i have an old 46in Panasonic Smart TV wich is too old for current technology but is still Full HD 30 fps and its SLiM (considering its age).
Considering this i took this opportunity to get an desktop PC to ad it to the TV (already have a hidden space under the TV table so it does not show.
Now you might be asking why i haven't opted for a Chromecast or something similar. Reason is i trust more PC hardware and i am more familiar with it also i can add and remove hardware for upgrade as i please.
My request is if you can suggest me an Android OS to install onto it.
I plan to use it for mostly Netflix and YouTube and some controller specific games like Asphalt 9 or some older/emulated games.
The PC specs are good for the almost free price, i am also familiar with the PC since i worked on same model for some years so the performance is right.
The reason of why i want Android is that unfortunately i have no cable internet so i am limited to data, fortunately i have data plan with free YouTube/Netflix
Thank you for listening to my ramblings.
Kind regards,
Redbloodedrose.
