Hi I have a 2016 S905X "android box" on which I installed a LibreElec build. Now that the box has been replaced by something else, I was thinking of putting a custom android rom or stock android on it (not sure what's possible) so I can run a few apks of my choosing - kodi, terrarium, netflix, plex, tv provider's app, etc.
Is that even possible to do now? If anyone could give me some pointers to a starter guide to get some form of android back on this box, and how to know which custom roms and/or vanilla android versions are able to run on it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is the description of the box I got:
Kekilo Q Box Android 6.0 Marshmallow Q-Box Amlogic S905X Quad Core 2G 16G Dual WIFI 2.4G/5G 4K H.265 with Bluetooth 4.0 Smart TV Box. Android 6.0 OS, Amlogic S905X Quad-core Cortex-A53 2.0Ghz. 2G DDR3,16GB EMMC. Mali-450, Penta-Core GPU

Hi,
Is it possible to install or boot Remix OS on an "Android TV Box" like this one? (here is the link: amazon.de/dp/B01BTJ7EZY/ - looks like new users can't post links, sorry)

OS: Android 5,1
Rockchip 3368 Octa-Core 64bit ARM Coretex A53 CPU
2G RAM + 16G eMMC Flash
Support for Gigabit Network & OTA
UHD 2K x 4K support
Bluetooth 4,0, H.265, HDMI 2,0

I'm interested in doing this too

Not yet. Because to do that a custom rom would be required for that exact device. Same way that a Huawei P8 ROM won't work on a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Another reason why not yet.
The RemixOS installer is not for arm devices.
You'd have to port RemixOS to your device (at least there is RemixOS for arm, and yes, I am aware that the arm version preceded the PC (x86, x86-x64) version).
By the way, you had posted this in the RemixOS for PC subforum, so it's the wrong place, try one of the other RemixOS subforums, although you'd need kernel sources, a device tree, and a custom recovery for your device before you can even think about porting RemixOS.
I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings, I was just being blunt.

Thank you
Is there anyone that can answer or no one knows how to "speak" here...
Hi, I've just released my android tv rom 7.1.2, will be looking onto 8 or 9 next
I have a Ninkbox N8 Plus, which has an AMLogic S905X3 in it.
The original ROM is rubbish. I want an Android TV based ROM, but am unsure as to how to go about flashing it.
Can I flash any AMLogic S905X / S905X3 ROM or does it have to be specific for the Ninkbox?
If anyone has a good ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi guys, I'm very very new to the TV media box and I wish to use it for my digital signage PWA software.
The stock Android TV can't install the PWA at all.
Somebody showed me the firmware in the attached video. It seems like a tablet firmware for me but some said it's called AOSP firmware.
I have 2 boxes, one equip with RK3228a (Android 7 Upgraded to Android 11 but device info showed Android 7) and the other with S905x4 (Android 11)
Which firmware should I use in order to have the non-Android TV but Tablet/AOSP firmware so I can test out my PWA installation?
Really appreciate a lot of your help because I can't easily buy a ready media box that's non-Android TV firmware.

Putting the RK chip box aside, now focusing on the S905x4 box. How do I actually flash the box? Can I use ADB tool or I can only use SD to flash it?

USB Burning tool is recommended, visit project website for all the info.
I gotta reinstall the USB tool twice before the device can be detected properly and complete the flash. So now the S905x4 box is running SlimboxTV without problem!
Next is to deal with the RK boxes. Any idea if SlimboxTV has firmware to support them?
Just realised 11.6 SimboxTV doesn't allow my S905x4 box to install the PWA as WebAPK
What shall I do next? Flash to older version?
