X96Max Rom X96Max_V311_20190625-1801 - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

I am using this ROM on my X96Max, with good results; everything seems to work, including updates.
2 problems :
- the libamcodec is not implemented; some videos, not all, show a lot of saccade.
That should go away if the libamcodec is used ( and it does, I tested it with another ROM )
- If the device is in use, all is fine, regardless for how long the TV and the X96 are connected.
When I switch the TV to another input and leave the X96 running, it will die after a while.
As an indicator to that you see 4 dots in the display instead of the clock.
Only solution is then to power off/power on again.
Any idea what could be causing this ?

I got the same errors like u:

I cant do anything with my remote, i have to draw out the power cord and put it in again to restart it!
Only solution is then to power off/power on again.
The other u say, i dont understand so I am not sure

The first problem I mentioned is related to decoding and showing videos.
The movement on the screen is not always smooth, but goes in steps; it looks like as if a few frames are sometimes missing.
From what I know, this is related to the codec used to decode the video stream.

Download an app amolgic tv box tools
Go to display and change the resolution untill videos goes good

Need Tester for possible HDMI resolution workaround

Can people with an hdmi cable please go in to terminal emulator and execute the following command?
am display-size 1920x1080
Let me know how it looks...on my TV it is all zoomed in, doesn't look right, if your TV has a PC setting, use that.. I want to see if it is just my TV or not
To go back to how it was enter
am display-size reset
This is a possible(though not ideal) workaround when using hdmi
Would like to have people test it with different TVs/monitors
If you have a screen that supports it, you can use this command for 1440p
am display-size 2560x1440

for my dell 30 inch it zoomed it also
2560x1440 full screen stretched it. looks good nothing looks cutoff and the whole screen is being used.
Just watched a video and did a side by side comparison with my other monitor and nothing looked cutoff using mxplayer
1900x1080 zoomed in
2560x1600 did not do anything.
Although what I did notice was there is an extra space below my launcher in tablet mode but it doesn't show on the monitor only on the N10 itself but I use expanded mode also so its not that much of a problem imo

Yeah, when you are done you can run the reset command to make it normal again...
There is some cutoff on my phillips 42" lcd, it must be dependent on how the screen handles it...
No one else else? Man I figured there would be a few more people...

My tablet went onto the charger when I got home from work, otherwise I would try it.
I'll be trying this when I get home in a couple hours.

Thanks this is great.
I just tried it:
Nexus 10: rooted Stock 4.2.2
HDTV: Samsung PN58C8000
HDTV screen size set to: 16x9
Player: MX Player Pro
Observations:
> First attached the HDMI cable before running the display-size command. I could not for some reason get the N10 terminal to accept the enter command. The enter button lit up on both the N10 and HDTV screens but the enter did not happen. Not sure what may be going on there.
> Second attempt with the HDMI cable disconnected I executed the "am display-size 1920x1080" command and the N10 screen adjusted to the new dimensions. Mainly every thing looked like it was zoomed in. Then I attached the HDMI cable and it seemed to fit perfectly without any overscan that I notice.
> Using MX Player I started video playback and it played full screen on the HDTV.
This looks like a great solution. I did have some problems but I use a combination of products so that I never have to see the notification and status bars one being "full!screen". The display change seemed to mess up full!screen's functionality. So in the end I had to reboot before issuing the "am display-size reset" command but I think that is a problem specific to my setup.
The reboot did NOT reset the display back to normal, I had to issue the reset in a terminal and then all was well. This is not an problem just an observation.
I also use both "SideBar" and the PIE feature of "LMT" and they worked with the changed resolution.
I am going to play around with this more but I think it would be very convenient to use SManager and its desktop script widgets to perform the display set and reset. The SManager Pro version can "Execute scripts from widgets without opening console". I already own SManager Pro.
If you really wanted to get fancy you may be able to have a script that accepts a video file path and or video stream URL, sets the display, starts MX Player passing the file path/url and then when MX Player ends resets the display. This idea needs more thinking and development before the fancy script would be useful.
Here is how to start an app in a script and here is the MX Player API details. I have not tried this yet but was going to for a completely different application.
I have some playing around to do, but this is important information.
Thanks again.
Doug
Sweet... Thanks for all the info... If anyone wants to try setting a script... Be my guest but it won't be me lol
I can adjust my display size while plugged in but I do get over scan... Mabey I'll try setting the size, then plugging in
could this be something that can be tied to Tasker? I don't have Tasker to find out (nor a microHDMI to HDMI cable!) so I don't know, but what about a tasker trigger for detection of the HDMI cable to send the "am display-size 1920x1080" command and then when the HDMI is removed send "am display-size reset"
Perhaps given 3DSammy response this might not be possible if the command has to be sent before connection to the TV...
I wrote the toggle script I was suggesting "HDMI Fullscreen Toggle Script".
Might have to try this out on stock rom and see how it goes... I'm guessing it's my TV but Mabey it's the rom... I get over scan on my phillips 42" lcd
Works for me. Thanks
Been trying just now, it does work with MX player on our lg plasma, however when set to 1080 n10 screen loses its nav bar so I can't exit MX player or navigate around, forced to reboot. but proof of concept nevertheless.

You lose your nav bar? That's weird... I don't lose mine... You can use LMT launcher or gmd gesture controls though...
Indeed, n10 is pure stock. Reboot resets everything so for a film watch session its ok. Am sure this knowledge will spread and media players like mxplayer can include that trick in future.
What would be nice now is to smooth out the little jitters I get when playing back a blue ray via HDMI now we can go full full screen.. Preferably non root as the old fella would get more confused.. Its almost perfect so being close is bit irritating

Change Screen Res/dpi/Aspect Ratio - System GUI Always Stops

I have an Allwinner A20 tv box, I trying to use it on a device with an old, low res, 4:3, 5" screen. It works but I have a few problems - firstly the box has "pal" and ntsc" settings for use with AV out, but when connected the picture is squashed inwards so circles are represented as ovals. I ve tried to mod the aspect ratio/resolution but nothing works, the picture is always distorted.
On top of that everything is too small for the screen, it is readable but things really need to appear bigger, so I also played about with the dpi, this does make things bigger and a better match for the screen, even though the device doesnt actually have a screen itself.
I ve done both these mods with several apps and modding the build prop and I always get "sorry systemGUI has stopped", constantly - when you close it, it opens again straight away. Clearly settings doesnt like these mods, so I m trying to work what I need to change so it DOES accept them.
Can anyone tell me how I can successfully mod the setting.db and get this working at the correct aspect ratio and a dpi that is suitable for use on a low res screen ?
Thanks
Anyone ?

And if so how as I have a Vega S89 Elite (Clone) and it has the same text-is-too-small-on-a-sd-tv problem, thanks.

waking up after sleep.

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered else where.
Currently running a Lenovo S20-30 Win 10 dual boot with the latest Beta release. Surprisingly really enjoying it. The only real issue I am having is it waking after it goes to sleep. Mouse and cursor frozen and wont fully wake unless a reboot.
Is anyone else having similar issues and have a possible solution?
Thanks and appreciate the help.

My lenovo T500 reboots when it goes to sleep under Remix. My current "fix" is running a "stay alive" app I purchased for $2 (the free ones had too many ads or not enough functionality) that will dim the screen but not let it sleep if it has wall power or a good charge. I am also surprised how much I am enjoying it; the T500 is a screaming machine with Remix. It was barely adequate for web and RDP under Windows. I am getting incredibly good performance in Netflix, TWC TV app, Chrome, Dolphin and Microsoft RDP under Remix.

so...
details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
you have to figure out the rest.
I made sure it worked at least somewhat before contributing to get the additional features. I am really hopeful that a later beta or some other app will give me more control. My notebook has a screen off mode that is better than just dimming but isn't sleep. I wish I could get it to use that. The dimming that the Stay Alive app does was enough that the screen would not keep me up at night but there is enough of a glow to know it is on. But it makes Remix more usable now.
I had this issue too. I noticed if you tap the power button once, the screen comes back on but the mouse won't still work sometimes. If you just tap the power button a 2nd time after the screens on, it would start working again. But I did have trouble w/ wifi coming back on after sleep. I had to toggle it off/on. Let me know if the double tap of the power button fixes it for you too?
BTW, I just added another little app - LockScreen (a free one). That way I can easily lock the screen if I walk away for a few minutes, have it dim but not sleep and reboot.
Tapping the power button again works for me to.
Tap, double tap not working here. Shame. Hopefully a fix soon.

Another update on my sleep issue and workaround...
I don't know how things changed; I may have tripped a setting or something but using the LockScreen app was putting it to sleep and triggering the reboot instead of giving the Stay Alive app a chance to catch it, so I quit using the LockScreen and just let it time out and then the Stay Alive app would dim the screen and keep it from timing out. So no reboot, but unfortunately no lock screen; I wanted it to lock. Poked around some more and found an app listed as Hidden Settings for Galaxy but it isn't really Galaxy specific. One of the the things it does is let you set up and enable Daydream mode. It turns out Daydream doesn't work properly on Remix, but it fails in a good way. If you select the clock (or anything else, but stay away from full screen stuff as sometimes that will stay in the way for several seconds) and set it for both docked and charging, then when the screen timeout is reached the clock will show for a couple of seconds and then it will go to the lock screen (assuming you enabled, I guess), not go to sleep and Stay Alive dims the screen. Clunky and convoluted, but it ends up doing exactly what I wanted.
ETA - One other little nit - After it dims on the lock screen, focus is set to the text box and you just have to start typing the password to get the screen to brighten and unlock. Clicking does not cause the screen to brighten, which worried me at first (thought it was hung).

Just be careful poking around at settings; I did something to make mine have issues with being locked after I had it working. More tweaks got it okay(ish) again. This is not a good solution for battery use; I don't think there really is one if standby doesn't work. Android/Remix doesn't seem to offer levels of powering off. What I would like to do is power off the screen, spin down the disk but leave the processor and wifi powered.

Yep going back to sleep again and not waking up properly with SA. Think will give up until a fix.

Mine is only doing that now on battery and it is usually on wall power. As I use it on battery so rarely, the simple answer is to just set the screen timeout higher when I do. On an older notebook like mine, a battery gives you freedom to move around the house/office with the machine running and maybe run without plugging in for two or three hours. It's my semi-lightweight UPS.
Anyway, I am not giving up. This is the only thing not working perfectly for me. My camera, mic, bluetooth, mouse and wifi all work fine. I stream videos in Youtube, Netflix, TWC TV, Amazon, FB and browsers with good sound and picture; no lag. I connect to work with Microsoft RDP and have less lag than using RDP in Windows. Yesterday I booted over to Windows to increase the size of my data.img (and had no trouble with that) and that definitely hardened my resolve. It is hard to believe I was putting up with that kind of speed just a few days ago. Now that I know I don't have to it seems worse.
After more research, I am back again with what I think is the final answer. I should and likely will write an app to undo this if my battery gets really low, but all you have to do if you never want your machine to go into sleep mode is press Alt-F1 to get the console and then do something like this:
# echo nosleeptilbrooklyn >/sys/power/wake_lock
And then Alt-F7 to get back. I did that as a test, unplugged from the charger and let it sit about 10 minutes with display timeout at 5 minutes. 5 minutes in the screen went dark. That used to be followed by a reboot about 5 seconds later. It did not reboot. When I woke it, it did initially show the main screen and then blanked it and brought up the password screen. For some reason I had to click before I could type (usually don't have to). Anyway, the above "fix" worked. To undo it, I need to just do this:
# echo nosleeptilbrooklyn >/sys/power/wake_unlock
There is a programmatic interface to do pretty much the same thing but with more options and I am thinking I may write something to use that to set the lock and then check the battery on a timer and unlock if it falls below 20% or some other setting.
EDIT TO ADD - A little more poking around yielded info that pretty much all manufacturers have had battery protection for several years now and will not let the battery run down into the kill zone even if the OS is frozen or even if it actively tries to stay alive. I would still advice checking your BIOS and/or doing some research on your particular system but it is likely safe to just leave it locked if you only want it shut down, hibernate or go into standby when you specifically choose that interactively.

Palm PVG100 Screen Wake On Plug & Fully Charged

I'm close to having the phone perfect but these two still persist. There is a myriad of old options for Xposed and I was wondering if anyone has had success with any of them? I use the phone for a GPS unit on a cycle with a dynamo hub, so the waking up is annoying.
I've sorted the sound already, so there are two wake up conditions:-
1. power is enabled
2. battery reaches 100%.
Cheers, Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I can't help with Xposed, but I have a suggestion and a side question.
My suggestion : try IpBike (with IpBikeKey to unlock it).
The author of IpBike reads and answers e-mails. He is opened to new features if the idea is good.
If IpBike can't force the screen off (I never tested, as I don't charge my device as I cycle !), he may add the feature.
My question : is the PVG100 ANT+ capable ?
I use a Sony-Ericsson Xperia Active as a cycle computer (powered by IpBike), with ANT+ Speed, Cadence and Heart-rate sensors.
I would like to replace it with a PVG100E/EU, but the ANT directory does not list any Palm device.
Have a nice day !
Cobus.
Probably not, ANT is an extra cost for a manufacturer.
I found an open-source app which works. It's a bit old but still it does the job.
Basically it registers itself as an admin app so it can control the screen, then when a wakeup comes in it turns the screen back off. It's quick enough that the screen doesn't get a chance to come on. No root required.

Have you tried enabling "zen mode?" Zen mode keeps everything on the phone from waking I believe. I have tried it, but got annoyed when the wifi would cut out once I turned my screen off, because it would stop what I was listening to. Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but zen mode might be something to play around with.
To activate zen mode, the easiest way is probably through the app "setedit." Under "system" options, scroll to the bottom and change zen mode from 0 to 1.

Temperature at the front screen for All TVboxes using ugoos ports 0.4.0 to 0.4.2

Temperature at the front screen for All TVboxes using ugoos ports 0.4.0 to 0.4.2
If you are using a port of ugoos (versions 0.4.0 to 0.4.2) you can have temperature displayed permanently at the front screen of your TVbox. This is valid for any TVbox which has a small screen infront displaying time etc.
You have also a lot of other options as to what is displayed at the front screen and for how long (in seconds). I will add some screenshots in the 2nd post here.
To enable all these just follow the instructions in the PDF file I attach here.
And here some helpfull screenshots about what you can do and how:
There is another option by a Russian user @AuroSV with a zip file to have the temperature at the screen, but with this you can have only one (1) option/combination as far as how long the display with temperature is concerned. That is 45 seconds of Time and only 15 seconds of Temperature. I attach this zip file here.
If you follow my instructions (yes you must do some more steps, but I think this will not be a waste of time) you will have a lot of options/combinations. Personally I usually prefer to display the Temperature continously, or 15 seconds Time and 15 seconds Temperature. You can even completely turn off your screen temporalily (for some watching a video at night, the illumination is distracting/annoying).
If you do not care about the temperature/date indication, but you would like to:
- Turn ON or OFF temporalily the front display (i.e. during night when watching a movie)
- or adjust the intensity of the front display from 1 to 7
- or adjust what signs are displayed (i.e. wifi, lan etc)
Just use any KODI you may already have, install the addon OpenVFD and use above images 1 and 3. In OpenVFD choose "Configure".
As slimbox has also made Ugoos ports, you may try it there (I didn't try it, because I prefer "clean" ports from ugoos in all my TVboxes, that are X88 King, H96 max X3 and HK1 Box).
By using this method you can have whatever you want at the front screen for ANY TVbox with Ugoos port (i.e. permanently the temperature, temperature+time for specific periods, set intensity of the screen or turn it OFF temporarily etc).

Yes for S912 there are 64bit roms, but not for S905X2 or S905X3 or S922 !! Also what I am talking about at this thread is "ugoos ports". On the other hand you can easily test what I say here (temperature at the front screen and other options displayed on it) by using Libreelec or Coreelec for your TVbox on an sd card (or maybe on a USB memory stick) and dual boot system (i.e. Coreelec and Android).

This is a zip file which you just install it and you have fixed options (45/15 seconds - only this option - you cannot change it).
On the other hand if you want to controll everything (like having the temperature continously displayed) you must do what I say in my 1st and 2nd post.
