Release notes
* This is not a bug, but a consequence of the switch to art from dalvik: first boot, updates and apps installation will take longer; this happens because art compiles the apk and does not work like dalvik that was using a just-in-time approach (so expect almost 10 minutes for the first boot and future upgrades)
* Probably few minor things might not be as stable as the stock ROM, in case report it and I will try to fix it.
First install instructions
* As really first thing install one of the available customs recoveries (CWM or TWRP)
* Power off your device and unplug the AC power cord.
* Get the latest available ROM and GAPPS version from the links below and copy them to a MicroSD card.
* Now insert the MicroSD card in your STB.
* Plug the AC power cord while you keep pressed the little reset pinhole (located on the bottom of the device) for 10 seconds (just count slowly to ten and it will be good).
* Once the device has booted to recovery perform a factory reset and flash the ROM's zip for first followed by the GAPPS zip.
* Reboot and enjoy CyanogenMOD.
Update instructions
* Get the latest available ROM and GAPPS version from the links below and copy them to a MicroSD card.
* Now insert the MicroSD card in your STB.
* Enable "Developer options" following this tutorial and from it enable the "Reboot to recovery" option.
* Bring up power menu by keeping pressed the power button on the STB for a couple of seconds (or pushing F4 if you have a keyboard plugged in) and select "Reboot -> recovery".
* Once the device has booted to recovery flash the ROM's zip for first followed by the GAPPS zip.
* Reboot and enjoy your updated CyanogenMOD.

Misc Stuff
* When an app forces the portrait orientation, the default behavior is to simulate a portrait / phone-like UI adding black bars to the sides (an example is Antutu when it runs the benchmark, or Box.com). If you prefer to have a landscape stretched UI flash this zip. To revert to the default behavior flash this one instead.
Note that the setting will persist even if you upgrade the ROM so you have to flash that zip only once.
* When you press power button on the TV box or the AirMouse, the default behavior of the device is to perform a shutdown and enter a suspension state (the status LED will turn red) and when you will power it on again, it will have to boot from scratch.
If you find it annoying you can flash this zip (it will have to be flashed after each rom upgrade) that will turn off box's video output but it will mantain it active for background tasks (the LED will stay, in fact, blue) and powering it on will take just a second (the same as it happens on an Android phone or tablet for example)

Removing the "beta" tag since it's working very very nicely, enjoy this Christmas build on your first TV Box having a really working Lollipop

Any chance at all that this will work with the Minix X8 as it runs an Amlogic S802 chip?

---

I'm sorry but I'm offering support only for WeTek products

I would give donations do have this for my Minix x8-h Plus, hope it gets more attention soon

Fixed official YouTube playback in today's build (actually I've done a much better job under the hood integrating into amplayer the new Lollipop way to handle network streams, instead of keep using some old routines that I had forward ported)
Now it's practically a daily driver.

Android TV
Your work is fantastic. I really appreciate what you do.
I want to ask, will it be possible to make a Android TV build like on the Nexus Player
Thank you in advance.

---

Is there any source code for Android TV available? Anyway right now the review about the Nexus Player are really meh, it's something a little bit more than a chromecast

I hope this will help:
url --> android.googlesource.com/device/google/atv/+/android-5.0.2_r1
url nexus player --> android.googlesource.com/device/asus/fugu/+refs
As I understand the ATV is just a customized lollipop with some added and removed services.
Thank you for your hard work.

I will give it a look in the future

I'll have a look at that.
I think the device has to be recognized by the google play store as the Nexus player to get the proper gapps. I'll try to find the proper version of Google Play Store and Play Services.

---

The device is already fetching apps for Android TV, in fact the store is very restricted (and you can download Youyube for Android TV like shown in the screenshot), the problem is in the default play store, it will update only with the phone/tablet version, I have to ship it with the one from the Nexus Player but right now it's odexed and baksmali fails with Lollipop odex files.

New build, and a new GAPPS zip for those of you that wanna a minimal install without most of G's bloatware

* ROM 2015-01-02
Fixed volume +/- handling, now it will default to modify the "media" stream volume and it will actually work (despite big G's effort to output always at max volume the media stream using digital connections); improved mute button handling (it uses a native function to mute the stream instead of doing weird workarounds like amlogic was doing), if you mute it you can unmute pressing mute again or pressing vol+, if the stream is muted and you press vol- nothing will happen.
btw, this was Lollipop's handling of mute button before my modification
Code:
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_MUTE:
[...]
// TODO: Actually handle MUTE.
.... "Actually handle MUTE"... they didn't rush out L release, do they?

---

* ROM 2015-01-05
Some minor changes and two relevant:
- replaced CM's Superuser with SuperSU (the new superuser that has recently been committed doesn't work with this kernel that doesn't have SELinux enabled), at first boot a notification will tell you to update su binary, all the files are updated but, again, because of the lack of SELinux it will drive SuperSU a little bit crazy, just let it update the su binary in the normal way and it won't bother anymore
- added an exception to not detect the airmouse as an hw keyboard so the aosp ime will popup (if you have an hw keyboard it won't show unless you force it from language & input settings)

This build includes a kernel that I've built from sources, disabling an option that was hogging the cpu when a network service was binding on the localhost interface (hopefully all the other things will keep working, I don't know how far it is respect the kernel used by latest WeTek OS roms, in case I'll ask for updated sources).
Acestream, for example, was unusable because of this, now it works like a charm (tested under Kodi 14.1 RC and latest P2P-Streams, right now SopCast shipped with that addon doesn't work with Lollipop)
Included CEC settings under Settings -> WeTek Settings, untested because I have any cec capable device. It should work because it's just a matter about writing some stuff to the proper sysfs file and let the kernel handle it.
Re-introduced the display sleep timeout, setting it to a value different than "Never timeout" will trigger daydream (the screensaver), that you can customized from its settings.
