I just got this phone for my dad, more specifically the XT1524 model, and we wanted to use miracast on our TV.
Although there is an option to cast the screen, our TV does not appear on the list as it does on my Nexus 5..
So, I'm guessing there is no Miracast support on this phone? If not, why is there an option for it?
EDIT: Turns out it is actually not supported (source)
Did anyone try this feature on CM12.1? Does it work there?
@amkirk94 - Motorola disable Miracast, but I expect it can be re-enabled on XT1524.
From the Moto G FAQ: (root required)
However, you still need to enable the 'Cast screen' settings menu by adding the following line (if not already present) to /system/build.prop:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

After rebooting, Settings > Display > Cast screen' (Miracast) option will now include an option to 'Enable Wireless Display.'
Note that often with stock ROMs, simulatenous WiFi internet and screen-mirroring is not possible; but should work in Custom ROMs such as CM12.
Related: I suggest you search the Moto G forum for more discussion on this subject.
I noticed there weren't many posts on Leelboxes on XDA so I'll provide some quick input for anyone who may search for a review or want to ask questions.
Recently I bought a Q2 on Amazon and finally set it up last night.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N63M03X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Opening the box/contents
-The box had some wear on it but overall in decent shape
+Comes with power cable, hdmi, remote (no batteries)
-The box had a fairly strong plastic/soldering smell and ins't very appealing visually
Setup
- Plugging in the power starts up the device so I had everything (HDMI, mouse/keyboard) already plugged in/No physical power button
++ Quick boot up and short animation screen
-/+ Decent launcher screen probably depends on preference
-/+ Needed to adjust the screen area down to 90% as it was displaying outside of my viewing area
- Remote sluggish
+ Wireless USB keyboard and mouse are plug and play
- Still haven't figured out how to turn off the on-screen keyboard as the settings menu is device specific
- Playstore and adding Google account FC'd the first time I opened it
Customizing
+++++ Installed SuperSu from Playstore and went through the "normal" non-recovery install process successfully!
+ Installed Leanback Launcher/Google TV v1.14 (newer versions FC) APK from APK mirror and home launcher switcher
++ Kodi and addons preinstalled and setup
-Google Now launcher has icon text issues (words are cut off)
+Installed hidden settings
Performance
+ 5ghz wifi running well
- Some UI lag/stuttering
- App install a little slower than hoped
- Device comes with a memory cleaner button on the provided launcher. Once mem usage hits 80%, stuttering gets annoying. Installed memory cleaner and still evaluating.
+ Video very smooth in Kodi and Youtube
More to come but hope this helps.
How is the leelbox Q2 running? Have you tried miracast with a Windows10 laptop? Looking for a device to primarily do this.

Still running well. Mainly use it for Kodi and YT. I found an older version of Nexus Player launcher that works (except suggestions) and looks better than stock.
One complaint I do have, I couldn't get any emulators to recognize USB gamepads. If you want to do any of that, I'd stay away.
I haven't tried Miracast at all but I will if you're still interested. Let me know.
Hey there... I have a question for you. How's the video playback on your box?? I really this box, especially since it has Bluetooth and there is hardly any lag, however, I have had bad luck with it from the get-go. My video playback is horrible! The screen flickers and goes really dark when the scene is shot at night or it's indoors. Sometimes my tv goes black and if it weren't for the captioning, you'd think it's just off. Then the image perks up when the scene is outside or a really bright shot. It really does a number on my eyes as it's a constant thing. I did reach out to their customer service and they have been responsive and sent over instructions to try and fix this, but that hasn't worked. I even got the box replaced, but the issue persists. I'm thinking maybe it's a setting at this point. Would you happen to know if there is a fix to this or is there anything you would suggest? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Kodi seems a bit darker so I have an display setting on my TV that I toggle to vibrant and its much better. HBO Go feels the same. Other than those though, Youtube and Netflix are fine.
Any chance your HDMI cable is bad?

I haven't tried flashing a new rom for this device yet so I may not be the best to help you. But from what I've read, the USB burning tool is your best bet. From experience, it may be a good idea to try flashing with another computer. Also, re-download the imgs.

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, but I have changed HDMI cables twice and changed ports on the TV. Also, I have used an older TV I have with this box and it just doesn't work. The video just bounces from light to dark when on Netflix or streaming any other type of video including YouTube. I have attempted to play with any settings on the box but nothing changes. Kinda bummed, oh well right?

Hi,
In product description it said this is dual wifi enabled (2.4 and 5Ghz) box. So I installed internet wifi router with 2.4 and 5GHz possibility, and Q2 Pro box pick up just 2.4Ghz signal.
Then I turned off manually 2.4GHz possibility in router and Q2 Pro box didn't see any wifi network, while my LCD and PS4 was connected on 5GHz without problem.
So, my question is, how to enable receiving 5Ghz wifi signal on Q2 Pro box?
Thank you
I've been having some trouble rooting the Q2 Mini Leelbox, wondering is that a different model than the Q2? i am also having an issue changing the default home launcher on my box, it seems like the Zonglauncher that is installed on it wants to be the only proprietary launcher option an because i cant gain root, I can't run effin system app deletion.
I figured kingroot would do it, but it has not been of any help so far. Shoot I've googled Root Leelbox Q2 mini and pretty much theres nothing out there. must not be a very popular box. now that i noticed it is rockchip, i'm a little disappointed with it, might even return it, but it does have 2G/8G for only 43 Dollars on amazon.
did anyone install recovery twrp and Magisk?

It must be a different version. If I recall correctly, I didn't have to install anything to get root. I just ran a root checker and confirmed I was good to go.
I also was able to install any launcher I wanted. But in the end, their launcher was good enough for the apps I use (Kodi, Netflix, HBO Go, Youtube).

No. I don't think there is a TWRP version for this device.
I ended up shipping it back for a refund. Really was quite a pos if I ever did see one. Made me pretty angry tbh, it was a rockchip anyways I mean it did have 2g/8g but certainly performed worse than some 1g/8gs ice bought in the past.
i have the mini
*works fine ..no lag or stuttering
*only problem is weak wifi with no 5ghz support
#im looking for info regarding using a d'link wifi dongle with it to boost wifi
to everyone this box is prerooted
install any app and if it requests root it will be given root automatically without even a toast message
you can enter recovery and factory reset or flash updates or even flash update zips by inserting a needle / pin / toothpick into the headphone jack amd pushing down at which point you will feel the button click...keep the button in then pull out the power cord and put it back in and it will boot to recovery ...you can rename supersu as update.zip amd flash it from sd card to replace root or get root management apk installed ..you can also install supersu apk directly from playstore
you can enable developer settings by usual means by pressing on version number in settings/about
i am looking into solving wifi problem first ...then i will try to flash custom images
my first workaround is to boot Ubuntu from sd card and install opemelec or omc or similar
*reason is amazon prime video fails playback in both apk or browser
*netflix is working fine through apk
*kodi is running smoothly
by installing linux through sd card i will try to get better wifi by wifi dongle and then by getting playback working for amazon video ..if i succeed i will create a thread and a post a link and proceed from there ..i think we might be able to port or flash some other custom firmware too ...i will try it after Ubuntu....
hello
i just buy a leelbox q4 plus and i searsh in the net for root this android tv box but i dont found , it s this box https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7MFR5L/ref=emc_b_5_t
maybe it s not possible but if it s possible maybe you help me for that thank for advance
Good morning everyone,
i hope you can help me because i don't know where else to ask.
I've bought a T95Z Plus Android 6.0 TV box, branded by Zenoplige, but there are a couple of annoying things that i don't understand and that i can't fix.
01) Sleep mode (standby or hibernation mode)
After less than 30 minutes without using it, the box goes to standby mode: the screen goes black and the device turns itself off, shutting down the front LED.
You have to press the Power button on the original IR remote controller to power it up again, in a couple of seconds.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour? Maybe an application i can install?
I just want my box to be always on.
02) Air mouse and sleep mode
The main problem with sleep mode is that you can only use the original IR remote to wake up the device. I can't use it because my box is into a little TV cabinet.
I'd want to use the Rii MX3 wireless Air Mouse (a Zenoplige branded clone) as my main and only remote: https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Multifunction-Wireless-Keyboard-3-Gsensor/dp/B01CL3ZXGO/
Is there a way to wake up the T95Z Plus using the Air Mouse?
03) Hidden navigation bar
How do i bring up the navigation bar after i hide it?
The bottom navigation bar can be hidden, using the first icon on the left. Is there a way to bring it back up, without having to reboot the T95Z?
04) Reboot or shutdown by menu
Is there a way to reboot or shutdown the T95Z by menu?
Maybe an app that i can install...
05) Change physical keyboard layout
I want to use the Rii MX3 wireless Air Mouse keyboard as my main keyboard but the layout seems to be an US QWERTY.
Can i change it?
I need an european layout for special characters.
06) Custom ROM
I've discovered that on the Freaktab forum there are some custom ROMs for the T95Z, like this Superceleron: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...s-t95k-pro-t95u-pro-superceleron-v1-final-rom
Do you suggest them?
I don't understand why they would be better than the stock one...
Thank you in advance!
I've managed to fix a couple of those problems by myself.
I have to thank this video, that is a little bit long and a little bit boring but covers every aspect of the configuration of the T95Z Plus Android TV box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKcgFScCI8M

The box wasn't going to sleep or standby mode.
Simply, when i turned off my TV using the TV IR remote, the box turned itself off too.
I had to completely disable the HDMI CEC in Settings > Preferences > HDMI CEC > CEC Switch > Off.
See there: https://youtu.be/WKcgFScCI8M?t=15m8s
Now i can shutdown the TV without shutting down the T95Z box.
(I can't control the box using my TV remote but the shutdown button is the only thing that's working)
Edit: I had to change settings a little bit because with CEC Switch totally off, the box started to shutdown when i switched my TV to HDMI 1 and back.
So i did set:
- CEC switch: On
- One key play: On
- One key power off: Off
- Auto change language: On
Now it seems ok.
Note: i think you have to reboot the box to really apply those changes, because the last problem emerged after a reboot.
02) Air mouse and sleep mode
The main problem with sleep mode is that you can only use the original IR remote to wake up the device. I can't use it because my box is into a little TV cabinet.
I'd want to use the Rii MX3 wireless Air Mouse (a Zenoplige branded clone) as my main and only remote: https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Multifunction-Wireless-Keyboard-3-Gsensor/dp/B01CL3ZXGO/

Click to collapse
Now that point 01 is fixed i can use the air mouse as my main and only control device.
03) Hidden navigation bar
How do i bring up the navigation bar after i hide it?
The bottom navigation bar can be hidden, using the first icon on the left. Is there a way to bring it back up, without having to reboot the T95Z?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(I've looked at a lot of video reviews and) That's a bug and can't be fixed.
You have to reboot the box to make the navigation bar reappear.
This is fixed in some custom ROMs, like the Superceleron V1 i've already mentioned (http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...s-t95k-pro-t95u-pro-superceleron-v1-final-rom), that has a fully working disappearing navigation bar.
05) Change physical keyboard layout
I want to use the Rii MX3 wireless Air Mouse keyboard as my main keyboard but the layout seems to be an US QWERTY.
Can i change it?
I need an european layout for special characters.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had to manually change the layout of my pysical keyboard.
I went to Settings > More Settings > Personal > Language & Input > and manually set the keyboard layout to "Italian", instead of "Default".
Now the special characters are working well.
I also went to Settings > Keyboard and switched from Android Keyboard to Remote Physical Keyboard.
06) Custom ROM
I've discovered that on the Freaktab forum there are some custom ROMs for the T95Z, like this Superceleron: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...s-t95k-pro-t95u-pro-superceleron-v1-final-rom

This is still not so clear to me but i've understood a couple of things:
A) The same T95Z Plus box by different brands
The most common T95Z Plus box is the one manufactured by Sunvell but there are a lot of brands that are re-selling the same T95Z Plus Android box with their own logo: Akaso, Zenoplige, Kekilo, WeChip etc.
They're all the same device.
Only the firmware can change and the wireless chipset.
Mine is a Zenolige with firmware number T5ZP0030.
B) Flash the firmware
Everyone can flash the latest firmware: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...nvell-t95z-plus-tv-box-amlogic-s912-octa-core
You just have to be sure that you have the right wireless chipset for that firmware, which is not so easy because you have to open your box to discover it.
So, i decided to stay with my official firmware an wait for the OTA upgrade.
C) Custom ROMs
Take a look at the Superceleron V1 custom ROM on the Freaktab forum: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...s-t95k-pro-t95u-pro-superceleron-v1-final-rom
As far as i've understood, it fixes some minor bugs, like the disappearing navigation bar or the missing "reboot" option, and introduces some improvements in Kodi.
04) Reboot or shutdown by menu
Is there a way to reboot or shutdown the T95Z by menu?
Maybe an app that i can install...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I installed Quick Reboot (Root): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=phongit.quickreboot&hl=it&rdid=phongit.quickreboot
It works great because the T95Z Plus comes already rooted.

to turn TV off and leave the box on
No, volume down on my T95Z Plus remote does nothing to my TV.
By the way, i've discovered that i also could turn off the HDMI-CEC on my TV. But the settings i'm corrently using seem to work well.
In the end, this box really disappointed me and i sent it back to the seller, asking for a refund.
It has a lot of bugs.
The hardware seems good but the software is a crap.
It reboots itself randomly very often, it freezes, a couple of apps keep crashing.
The video playback is really dark in Kodi and Plex and it's a common bug of Amlogic S912 boxes.
The 5.1 audio has problem, it wasn't working (it was mute) and i had to change some parameters in Plex settings just to make it work.
Kodi crashes if you don't disable the "Amlogic codec" in the settings.
A lot of users have wireless issues, slow speed or no reception.
The keyboard has a bug with the Enter key (and some other annoying little things): http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...nvell-t95z-plus-wrong-character-from-keyboard
The box still shutdown itself, after some time, and i can't understand the logic. It also wakes up my television, despite the settings i've made on the HDMI-CEC section.
When i turn on my TV, the box ofter reboots itself.
The Zenoplige attached remote mouse is really cheap.
I've also discovered that there are two version of the hardware, the old one and most common with a AP6330 wifi chip (like Sunvell and Akaso) and the new one and less common with LTM8830 wifi chip (like my Zenoplige).
I've discovered what chip i have looking for the wireless MAC address in Settings > Wireless > Advanced and inserting it in an OUI lookup: https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html ("Shenzhen Netcom Electronics Co" is "Longsys", that is LTM8830 chip, MAC address starting in 84:5d:d7).
There are no full working custstom roms for the new LTM8830 chip.
A lot of people seem to have my same problems and they're trying to fix them using custom ROMs. I have absolutely no desire to do so.
The OTA upgrade isn't working for anyone.
You have to manually flash the firmware upgrade via recovery or via app but it's not clear what firmware you need, because of the differente wifi chip. And firmware upgrade don't fix the mentioned problems.
I'm gonna try the Probox2 Air: https://www.androidboxreviews.co.uk/probox2-air-review/
It has a more modest hardware (fair enough) but it looks much more stable and well working, according to the reviews i've found. It is a six month old device, so any problems should have been discovered so far.
The software looks really nice and clean.
The price is just a little bit higher.
I'm gonna leave here a couple of links that i hope are gonna be useful to the people that bought this box, like me:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WIRELESS CHIP AND BOX VERSION
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...pro-t95u-pro-superceleron-v1-final-rom/page14
A bit late now (sorry), but given that we know that these WiFi chipsets are not made by the same company, there is another way to find out without resorting to a physical check:
1) Install WiFi Analyzer app from PlayStore
2) Select Tools --> OUI Lookup
3) Enter your WiFi MAC address (get this from System Network Settings)
This will then lookup the manufacturer of the WiFi chipset, ie. AMPAK for the AP6330 or Longsys for the LTM8830.
--------------------------------------------
T5ZP0009 is a newer build but it is a franken build. Also the wifi chipset can be found by opening the box and looking at the chip. That is actually the easiest way to do it. There are other ways like using a terminal emulator or adb. You have to reboot and immediately run
Code:
dmesg | grep wifi
before the log is overwritten. Somewhere in the output of that command will tell you the wifi driver which will in turn tell you what chipset it is. broadcom is AP6330 and I'm not sure what the other chipset is.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WIRELESS DEAD
Same Problem Here, WIFI Dead, I have the LMT8830 Wifi Chip too
My Initial Firmware was T5ZP0030, I've try many many tings since yesterday and can't get it work..
Well we need to work on this issue and find a solution. I'm here to help fix this.
I read (translate) from a Russian forum that they have a Patch that fix the Wifi problem, but the link is dead.
--------------------------------------------
Before updated firmware please make sure you know exactly what t95Z Plus box you have. there is 2 version. the latest one have the 9377 wifi chip in it and if you don't flash the good firmware you will loose wifi feature.
Seach some post here you will figure easly how to find out. then you will be good to flash with a good source.
if your build is T5ZP000x then you have the normal version
if your build is more like T5ZP003x then you probably have ne newest board
You could open the box too to see what wifi chipset you have.

DARK PLAYBACK 01
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...pro-t95u-pro-superceleron-v1-final-rom/page14
I'm hearing that the main gripe with the AMLOGIC S912 boxes is the very dark play back on Kodi (me no exception). There is a well known fix for this, namely disabling acceleration under video in Kodi, then adjusting brightness/contrast, but this also (I believe) disables 4h playback. As my TV is 4k (ergo I'm missing out) my question is whether your firmware update resolves this, or is there a fix in the mix??? if it wasn't for this (which seems to be a very widespread issue) the S912boxes would be great, as all else (with mine at least) works smoothly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DARK PLAYBACK 02
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...vell-t95z-plus-tv-box-amlogic-s912-octa-core/
Hi all,
Short version ==> The screen is very dark after upgrade.
Long version:
As soon as I upgraded 007 the screen has been very dark. The home screen is a bit dark, still navegable though, but it's very annoying when using kodi. It's dark enough to make watching movies very difficult. It's as if the gamma was set way to dark.
I've tried going through all the options and nothing changes it. Currently I've upped the brightness on my screen and played with settings there but the image is washed out.
To be more specific, changing screen resolution, deep color mode, hdr, etc. don't have any effect.
Others have the same problem (in french) but it doesn't seem to be everybody.

Has anyone had this problem here ? Any known workarounds ?
Regards,

Hi, I just received this box with LTM8800 wifi chipset and I use Superceleron V1 Final ROM, as you know wifi don't work but I will try to fix it. For me no bugs with the ROM and I use Rii MX3 wireless Air Mouse.
A good thing, I have successfully ported TWRP 3.0.2-0 to it.
You can flash it with Rashr app, boot it on Micro SD with the update app and a dummy update.zip or with the toothpick trick on boot. (rename it to recovery.img)

A bad thing, there is a problem for restoring System partition on "Superceleron V1 Final ROM" with TWRP, if you do this you will have "Error during restore process.
extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255" and you will not be able to boot. I'm sure that come from the ROM, an other user on Freaktab.com have the problem on the same ported ROM on NEXBOX A1 box: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...-twrp-for-amlogic-devices?p=623481#post623481
The only way to repair is to flash firmware again with USB Burning Tool. The restore feature works fine with the stock ROM.
I have a little off topic question, I'm registered on Freaktab but no way to post or reply on it, someone can help me in PM?
You see?
There's too damn work to do for a device that should only do a couple of simple tasks!
Flash a ROM, lose your wifi, install a recovery etc etc
That's not my daily driver smartphone, i do not want to spend so much time on a media player!

I found the login without problem, edited my profile to see if something wrong. I can't send private message to members too. Too bad because I can probably help on the forum and release the recovery for members who wait for it since a long time, I sent a message to the Administrator with "contact us" but no answer. I use Gmail to avoid problem with Hotmail like mentioned.
Thank you for your reply

That's the goal, make it better and better. Problems are on the software side and can probably be fixed.
Hardware is good for that cheap device

You're right but i wanted an easy project, something that work out of the box
I've discovered another interesting thing: if you reset to factory default, on the next reboot there will be an OTA update available.
The update is from T5ZP0030 to T5ZP0031.
It's a minor bug fix, it is only 1 Mb and it fixes a wireless bug i haven't experienced: "wifi not work when change language".

I am having this box too and I have extremly problems with the network connection.
WIFI - Works slow and just for a few minutes.
WIRED - Works just a time and then it disconnects.
I am running the build T95ZP0032. I think this is the newest version of the firmware, right?
Can somebody help me pls? Dont want to send it back. I've just got this box two days ago.
As far as i know there is a 0033 version at the moment....i am not sure if i am allowed to link but there is a custom ROM on Freaktab (i believe the developer is MartBios2K). He resolved some issues and also did Supercelon but you will lose led and time display in the progress.
For WiFi try not to use 5Ghz band, it's bad, try to stick to 2.4Ghz
I will try to post the link to latest firmware when i am at my pc

I will try that. Thank you for your information and effort!
Hello guys, i don't remember the details but i've already linked the custom ROM and the custom firmware in my previous posts.
I've also explained the wifi chip problem that ZeroZorro mentioned.
Take a look at those posts
Dear forum/friends
I have the subject Android TV box and I was very pleased since yesterday.
I installed a Netflix APK , and though it start working flawlessly, after I turn the box off, the signal could not be detected .
I tried various TV's, and different HDMI cables but nothing.
It seems that it starts properly but can not be recognized from the tv.
I tried also to connect it through a PC but nothing again.
I am not sure that is related to The APK installation but it started behave like this right after I tried this program.
I suspect that the resolution has changed and this is the reason for the disfunction.
Is there any way to set it to the factory settings.
Your assistance is highly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
I still have not found a solution , neither a helpful advice has arrived.
Does anyone know if there's a way to manually reset/reboot the device? Let's say through hidden features in the remote control or any button from the device itself.
Any idea is more than welcome.
Thanks again

Hello guys, so after a month of using this phone, i encountred some problems like i can't find an option to hide the notch, or more importanly, i can't share or receive files using wifi direct, i can paire the devices but i don't have wifi direct as an option when i am about to share a file, and when the other device tries to send me a file, it just displays an error in the other phone, im looking for a solution that doesnt requires me to ask personnes to install extra software each time i want to share a file, can anyone help me please? im on miui global 10.2.
For notch you can use nacho notch, the system option it's removed since the first update of this year. On miui don't have WiFi direct, but you can use midrop. Midrop it's very good, but need to be installed on the receiver phone too.

first of all thank you for your kind effort and reply, the notch application is working like charm, i also found an option in mi drop that shares files by hosting them like a server, not as easy to use like wifi direct but it does the job sharing big files that you don't want to send by bluetooth, now the only thing left to fix is enabling notifications ..
