I recently bough a tv from the Aldi because it was quite cheap(699euro for 42"), but also because it's smart tv is based on android 2.3.4
I have been able to get rid of the stock launcher that MTlogic supplied and replaced it with ADWlauncher to be able to get access to some more settings.
My question is would it be possible to flash a custom version of CM9 to the tv?
I can't put a list up of the technical specs as of yet, but i will try later on.
If i'm not mistaken it uses a broadcom 720mhz cpu
Link to product is:

Hi gazlufc,
I have the same TV. In the mean time I managed to root it, but in the process I overwrote the video player application.
Could you please post the apk somewhere, so that I can download it ?
I could support you in rooting your tv, if you wish. Also, I managed to fix AC3 sound problems for network video playing in android.
Btw. the SOC is amlogic meson m1, for which I know at least a few firmwares which should be easy to port on the tv.
Cheers.

Would love to know how you've done it!
Have you also find a way to install another rom on it, like CM? (at least an upgrade to Android 4.0?)
Hi there guys,
I am new in this forum and actually new in android devices so i have this issue i think that i will be able to find the help that i need. I got this app which i bought with the tv box which happens to be a Geniatech atv 310, with an arm cortex a9 processor. The apo worked perfectly fine no problem at all the device had android 4.0.4 ics version. After two weeks i bought to my brother an another tv box, and i thought i will just give him the same app and we could both use it ( i bought him a: android tv smart player mini pc, works with android 4.2 jelly bean, it also supports full HD ) but when i installed the app, i get the audio but the video says: unsupported video. Any chance i could edit this app make it compatible for all sort of tv boxes or any other solution you might offer, feel free to fill me in. I have tried mx player, mc player codecs, and vlc, real player nothing at all.
Ps: the app is with tv channels, i guess they are streaming channels i have no other information how it works and stuff.
Good afternoon everyone,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done, because is blacklisted server side, but I'd want your opinion before giving up.
Is there any way to run the Netflix apps version for Android TV on non Android TV devices?
I've downloaded "Netflix (Android TV) 4.0.4 build 1716" (com.netflix.ninja_4.0.4_build_1716-1716_minAPI22(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk) from APKMirror, it installs itself well, i can login, it starts but as soon as i play a movie i get this error: We're Having Trouble Playing This Title Right Now, tvq-pq-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
I've searched in a lot of forums and it seems like nobody has been able to find a workaround.
Netflix understand that it's not running on a "certified device" and it blocks the playback.
Is there a way to bypass this?
My device is rooted so i could even change some system files, to make it look like another device.
I've got a Probox2 Air with regular Android, which is great for me, but it's a too difficult to use for my parents, with the smartphone version of Netflix and the air mouse.
In this forum the app modder simply says "Problem - Non-android TV boxes are blacklisted": http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index....ndly-apps-modified-to-work-on-regular-android
In the thread, a lot of people are in my same situation.
I've alredy tried to uninstall all the Netflix app, clear data and cache, logout and login, but it has been useless.
I really hope you can help me somehow.
If not, i think i'm going to sell the Probox2 Air and buy a Xiaomi Mi Box 3, but i'd really like to save the money and the time.
Bye!
I had the same issue and i just found a workaround which is a great solution to force HD and ultraHD on L1 and L3 widevine devices.
find bellow the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349
Kind Regards,

I'm sorry dude but:
- That APK doesn't seem to fix my problem. That's about forcing HD but i don't care about HD, i want the Android TV version of the app.
- It seems it has a malware in it:
I signed up just to warn you all this contains a virus.
Currently only the below file is effected.
h t t p : / / 1 9 9 . 1 7 5 . 5 3 . 2 1 / n e t f l i x l a t e s t . h d o n l y . a p k (Force Enable HD only)
Im sure he will change that seeing that im saying this now.
its a trojan

Hi there,
I bought a android box trongle X8, with a great performance spec (2G RAM/ 16G ROM). However, i found a problem using Netflix as It apears the error message tvq-pb-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
Then I did my first research on the net about the error message, I learned more about Netflix and its new way of authentication in order to stream HD and UHD using widevineCDM, classifying L1 for certified devices and L3 for non-certified devices. I found as well your post that mentioned the same error message but no solution or workaround.
Then during all the day, I tried a version of Netflix for normal android (not TV) that works but the quality was SD. and after that, I found the link I have just posted to you, and I tried it by deleting the spaces between letters and it works and the quality was HD.
I was trying to share what I find as there is limited articles and person who are talking about this issues and there is no solution.
About the link, there is no trojan, or I am not aware of it, I downloaded the tree links and used tested one by one. I kept the ultraHD and it works as mentioned by the link owner.
I wish I could help, and of course, I would like to have an Android version that will work for my device as well, so I will keep looking if there is any update.
Kind Regards,
Nass
In that case, sorry if I was suspicious. And thank you for your effort.
Could you confirm that the APK you liked is a mod for the regular version of Netflix, not the Android TV one?
The version is the regular version. the version that we use on the smartphone, which is not the same of course than the android tv version, I agree.
Ok! Thank you anyway.
Best regards.
Sadly, I've found no solutions form this problem.
I had to buy a device with Android TV, the Xiaomi Box 3, which is great for my parents.
If someone finds a workaround, please let me know, I would love to have the Android TV version of Netflix on my Probox2.
Bye!
I gave up, eventually.
I did a new research recently and I didn't find any news, it still seems there's no way to use the Android TV version of Netflix on a non Android TV device.
So I bought a Xiami Mi Box 3, which is great.
Cheap, with updated Android TV os, good performance, comfortable remote and certified by Netflix.
I've discovered there's also an Android TV version of Google Play Music that is way better than the regular one, that's pretty unusable on TV.
I too have a Xiaomi Mi box 3 on my main tv its awesome. I have a MXQ pro 4k in my bedroom I installed a custom rom I found on freaktab that runs Android TV you cant tell the difference between the two by looking at them the lower spec MXQ pro plays Kodi, Plex, YouTube and Pluto TV flawlessly however NO HD Netflix its stupid I pay for HD Netflix and have a device powerful enough to run it but They go out of their way by putting extra blocks to prevent users from using their app just doesn't make sense to me.
Hi cscott1!
Could you please leave us here the link to the custom ROM you're talking about? It would be nice to give it a try!

Yep, that's the main point of all of this matter.
My Probox2 was powerful enough to use Android TV Netflix app and HD streaming but Netflix doesn't want me to do it. That's silly. Anyway, they're the ones in command.

The fact that I couldn't find a working Netflix apk for Android TV for my uncertified device irritated me so much that I decided to make my own sort of lol you can tweak the settings of Titan BETA skin for Kodi to look and act very much like Android TV Netflix here is what you can make it look like.

That's seriously really cool, mate! Congratulations!
Maybe if I had seen your work before, I would have kept my Probox2.
Thank you for posting in this thread.
Someone will have the apk mod of 3.2.2 netflix Android TV mod from the wetek forum, mega links were canceled.
I have Magisk + hide + lioemcrypto module + L1 and L3 would like to try if this apk works, very interested in the design and not in the resolution.
Hi januxool, no, I'm sorry, I didn't save it anywhere so I haven't got it.
Remote Crontrol issues Original Netflix don't scroll episodes menus
The Netflix works with the Original Remote Control? Can I change episodes 18, 20,21 with the original remote control or I need to buy a Mini-Keyboard to scroll on netflix episode menus?
Bump.
Still no way to get this working?
I'm sure with a rooted device there's a way to trick Netflix servers into thinking I'm using a certified box.

Hi there
For many reasons my parents ended up with 2 of this device:
http://x-view.com/audio-video/droid-box
ITs an AMLogic s905 (1gb ram, 8gb storage) device that SHOULD be compatible with the android tv remote (stated on their site).
I updated it right away, and noticed that the playstore and netflix apps on the original firmware were really different from what i know, but after the update they are most likely phone/tablet apps.
Never tested playing a video in netflix or using the remote app on the original firmware.
I would love to update it to something... better ,since now they CAN watch netflix (phone app), but controlling it is a nightmare.
Youtube is the leanback one, and i had to manually update it cause the stock one crashed each time video buffered, and the updated one pauses A LOT (not an internet problem, it works fine on pcs and phones on the same house).
Just getting the android tv control app would fix their netflix woes (i have the youtube issuse with the second device, they dont watch it).
Tried installing a moded netflix for android tv, and it can be controlled ok, but since its widevine L3 device it plays only 1 second or so.
i was able to restore the original firmware.
Now most apps are the android tv ones, and the remote app from google works.
Netflix is still the phone app, and control still sucks on it XD
Hi, could you solve the Netflix issue?
