I am also in search of any alternate rom for this Videostrong's KIII TV-Box as I am waiting to receive the device I had just ordered.
Have a look at Abdul_pt's TWRP for Amlogic devices: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/16228-twrp-for-amlogic-devices. There seems to be confirmations for K1 Plus and K2 but no mentions of K3.
So far, there aren't any discussions on this device that I could find. I would appreciate it if you could provide your experiences and impressions using this device.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone with a Ramos i8/i9 has experimented with other custom roms and/or are aware of any stable roms that worked well with this Intel driven device ?
Thank you !
I have bought the Ramos i8 tablet (Have not received it yet though) and I am interested in testing custom roms as well. It has similar hardware with the Ramos i9 for which there are some custom roms around already (I think) so I suppose it could be ported from there (?)
There is an androidx86 project that has already released a 4.4 KitKat android for x86 devices (netbooks etc.) Could something like that be used in Ramos i8, i9 or similar Intel processor devices somehow? I suppose the install process is the hardest part...
Here is the link to the project:
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1
FYI I already asked in their group and there is a problem with the drivers of the PowerVR GPU. They are proprietary so it is not supported by androidx86.
Since there is no forum subsection for the i9 I could not post but I have some custom stuff running on my i9. I was asking the Slatedroid community if they wanted a release (which I could work on polishing) however not if only a few people will use it and help it keep going.

Hi Seven I'm quite keen on experimenting and would love to give ur concoction a try and I'm sure panpapad would too...
and what better place to share it than on XDA as it might draw other devs to help contributed.
Thanks heaps if you do share it on here...! :victory:
im very interested
Hey seven2099. I'm very interested in a custom rom. Was trying to post on the slatedroid forum but have to wait for the damn approval before I can post. So soon ill be n there with you. I was also wondering if anyone as found a custom recovery which works on the i9.
Hey guys! Sure I'd like to experiment with custom roms but I got the Ramos i8 not i9 tablet. It has very similar specs but still its a different tablet. So if anyone wants to work on i8 I can test .
Ramos i9 post-root issue
Hi guys,
Total newbie here.
Can anyone provide assistance on a root gone wrong?
Long story short: bought Ramos i9, rooted it in order to remove all the Chinese apps, and now no sound is coming through the speakers (only headphones).
Have tried rebooting, factory reset, and a second root. No luck.
Adb I used is adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321. I tried Nexus 4 drivers after the second root, still nothing.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Ramos i9 firmware-Update goes wrong
Hi, I have a problem with my Ramos i9.
I have loaded and run the latest firmware from the ramos.com.cn website. After I start the Update-Process the screen goes black and the device will not boot again. I think I install the wrong firmware for a Ramos i9 with GPS. Can somebody help me to reinstall the firmware by using a Windows-PC. Thanks!

Hi seven2099;
Can you help me? I have a problem with my Ramos i9.

Thanks! HolgerE
Hi Seven2099,
This tab is rebranded and sold as digiflip xt901 in India. Please share some of your ideas on firmware mods for this.
Thanks
Suren
Hi everybody I have Ramos i8 branded as polypad i8 in Turkey.
I research whether there is another ramos i8 that is branded diffrently in an another country.
I have found one in india.
called Digiflip Pro XT 801 Tablet and with sim card Digiflip Pro XT811 Tablet.
XT 801 and XT 811 are the same configuration except 3G.
There are some who achieved to update XT811 to kitkat(4.4) but what about XT801(i8) ?
Here is link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/kitkat-firmware-update-procedure-t2984011?nocache=1
Is it worth to try? What do you think.
Edit:
Not working becuse has different Rom.
Not try.
---
No you cant......the firmware of xt801 is different from xt811......this may brick your device

XT801 AND XT811 ARE BELOW:

The Dell Venue 3830 tablet (8 and 7 inch-3730) is to my knowledge the only z2580 based android tablet that has an official kitkat release.
Since there are so many different z2580 devices out there without updates newer than 4.2.2 it would be a great project for many people (including me) to see if that Dell rom can be ported and optimized for other z2580 devices.
My major issue is ram on my 1GB z2580 tablet (only ~200mb free after clean reboot). A kitkat update would in many ways solve that issue and make the tablet a solid useable device. (No my kernel does not support swap.) The cpu is quite fast and a shame to waste.
Edit: Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 are both Intel z2580 devices with official kitkat updates, (and cyanogenmod seems to be supported, surprisingly). Their roms could be useful for the z2580 community. Possibly moreso than the Dell Venue since reports show the kitkat firmware to have some stability issues for some people.
/s
Good news.
When i ask ramos firm, they said that they will issue new rom as soon as intel issue a rom apropriote for x86.
They blamed intel for not issuing new rom app to x86.
For more ram you should use greenify. It makes the ram free up to 460 mb.
And not to mention nova launcher with dcikonz theme.

Mayb your device is ramos i9 3g not the normal one if 3g i can help u root it or provide u the official firmware
Even the auto-search after entering thread title returned only threads with 0 replies...
So i have some no-brand chinese MT6580 running Lollipop 5.1 - not KitKat.
All the automatic and semi-automatic recovery porting tools work only for GB/JB/KK
Sadly the MT6580 kernel source was never leaked, so no compiling also.
Any way to get anything working? i would be even happy with a non-Touch CR...
Bumping this one as I am also looking for a way to port TWRP to my Galaxy S7 clone. And yes, it seems that none of the recovery porting tools seem to work on my end either. :/

I've hacked together a TWRP image for a FiGO "Virtue 2", 512MB, 8GB, MT6580, 5.1 but it is larger than the upload limit so I can not attach it for you. It seems to work with the possible exception thus far of not finding OTG storage, an issue which shall not keep me up at night. Installs, backs up, recovers ..... so far so good.
DISCLAIMER: As everyone says, use at your own risk. If the aliens come and take away your house pets or you experience any other device related or coincidental calamity of any kind, there's nothing I can, should, or will do about it.
Used the Carliv Image Kitchen, my stock recovery image, a TWRP image I found for an Infinix "Hot 2" and the general procedure found at this URL
http://www.xposedgeek.net/how-to-port-philzctrcwmtwrp-recovery-to-your-phone/
If you have the flash stuff for your factory build like I did it is probably a piece of cake, because I am pretty new at this sort of thing and if it can be screwed up I usually can find the way to do so. Took about an hour including thinking time before hitting the button. I was either brave or stupid and didn't even set up a virtual test first, but it works :cyclops: The Almighty must approve of my actions at some level.
Proceed with appropriate caution.
Hope that helps.

The lack of OTG support is indeed something of a shame, but at least this is something. Thanks for the tip mate!
EDIT: OK, so I managed to port TWRP to my device. Only problem is that I had to fiddle with the partitions, and for some reason there seems to be no other way to flip the screen back other than compiling another TWRP image or google my way through a compatible prebuilt by some kid online. I'll post my flipped-screen version ASAP when I get to compile that thing myself.
Sorry for the double-post, but here's the source-built port I made for inverted framebuffers:
https://github.com/huckleberrypie/android_device_alps_z6u030
I made it for clone devices in mind, but feel free to port or fork this in case you need to use this on your phone.

Sir please port samsung c7 clone
Device: Lenovo A916.
Android ver: Kitkat 4.4.1.
It seems lenovo only released one ROM for it and never updated it.
I am looking for a 5.1 or higher custom rom for it, but i cannot find a reputable place with one. All i found some questionable sites (only instructions, no comments or anything) or youtube videos that don't have comments.
Anyone knows of a reputable site where i can find custom roms for my device? Specifically 5.1+ android versions.

Thanks.
I opened it up and the board says

You are going to be limited to android 4.somthing, there are no newer firmware's for your chip, you should upgrade, i recommend an S905X box, they usually come with android 6, but can be updated, i have an android TV 9 ROM for S905X Devices & Android TV 7.1.2 Too, These Devices Are Cheap, if Your in the UK i can send you a link i payed 20 for a decent s905x box, with a good wifi chip inside (Alot Have Bad Performing Wifi Chips)
Thanks for the reply, I'm going to look for an Android 10+ capable TV box

Thanks for all the great work
Hello all,
So i had tried every firmware out there for 2/16gb X96 max plus. Turns out this box is a totally different model the Q1 Android 9 System_as_root, no ramdisk.
The WiFi/ethernet and Kernel are different from the rest
So far I've had slimbox(with magisk) I don't know how @SlimHouse managed to root it.
All the X96max plus versions of twrp work on him including the X96max official twrp.
The stock is really smooth and actually OK. So I would like to root and maintain it...
What I cannot do is get this new box revision of "Q1" rooted.
So far I have tried :
1. Twrp flashing magisk 21.4.zip with Dm Verity..zip.
2. Cat /dev/block/boot > /sdcard/boot. Img and tried patching the boot partition with magisk.
3. Tried extracting the boot.img using Amlogic tools (and got lost)
Does anyone know how I can install magisk on this, it seems strange I can flash the zips and install twrp to recovery but I can't obtain root.
Thanks in advance, as always....appreciated.
Regards
did you make any progress with this since asking ?
I've gotten myself a X96Max Plus2 that comes rooted without a superuser app or even a root switch. I don't want a box that's slapped together by manufacturers that barely give a f*#k offering root access to whomever asks. I want magisk on this thing!
getting definitive info is turning out to be harder than I thought, I discovered that settings names it differently to it's packaging. all material on the box says S905X3, but AIDA64, Dev Check and other apps only mention a codename Franklin. searching that brought me to a spec page saying it was S905X2.
how many boxes are called a variation of t95, how many of x96 ? kinda annoyed right now.

Yes you can use slimbox .. That'll do it.
Please note you will have to use USB twrp from the update option to flash a magisk patched.img to the mmcblk0 boot partition yourself..after you've flashed slimbox firmware. (sounds worse than it is)
It's a bit pernickety but you'll grasp it... And works well.
Goto the slimbox rom thread s905x3.
Off the top of my head (it was two boxes ago)
Here :
X96Max Plus
CPU: Amlogic S905X3 GPU: G31™ MP2
slimboxtv.ru
And here :
Post in thread 'project SLIMBOX' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/project-slimbox.4152049/post-83528517
Should have everything you need.
I actually done well with that little box.. Before upgrading to ugoos
