I've recently purchased a skyworth 39e780u TV which had a customized android 4.0 installed, I've managed to root it but I'm having trouble getting the play store to work correctly.
I've installed the latest gapps and a whole bunch of different modded stores but all I can ever see are 3 games under the games section - 'world of goo' 'My Boy!' & Pool Break pro, everything else appears as incompatible and even with the modded stores with no restrictions clicking on install doesn't do anything.
I've tried changing the DPI and build.prop and still the same thing (Yes I've cleared caches), does anyone know what the problem might be?
Hello, I bought the z69 android box http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_612624.html?wid=44
The google play store only lets me install the tablet versions of Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Youtube which is terrible with a simple control.
I've looked for other apks, but all are very outdated compared to my Firesticks version.
Is there a way I can install the latest TV versions of these apps onto my Z69? My gen 1 Firestick can run, so I'm wondering if this newer box can too.
Tried installing Hulu from this link about fireTV and it failed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/hulu-live-apk-request-t3640885
Usually those apps check for two things to make sure they are used correctly:
a) Normal or Android TV config
b) Device info from build.prop
If either is incorrect the app won't install or if it does refuse to work.
Hi,
I've got my hands on a cheap chinese phone from a brand called "V7". The model is "Zyro". Unfortunately, the phone didn't come to me with pre-installed Google Play store. Nor is it rooted or flashed with custom recovery like TWRP. I wanted to install some apps on it via transferring data from PC to the phone. I've sourced apps such as Youtube, Facebook, Messenger, Google Internet Services, Google Play Store etc. from a trusted website apkmirror. Unfortunately, most of the apps seem to cause errors while attempting to install. The errors state that the apps are not meant "for this device". I've tried versions designed for numerous architectures such as 32 and 64 bit, as well as arm64-V8a based CPUs. I can't understand why is this happening as majority of those apps state in the description that they are either universal or are expected to work since Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. I have problems installing GBoard (Google Keyboard) and Samsung Keyboard on the device as I'm stuck with some chinese virtual input called "Sogou". I've tried to flash the device with custom recovery but unfortunately didn't find a version of TWRP which would be compatible with my device. The same happened when I've tried to find any sort of custom rom or even official, android stock rom. I would like to ask you:
1. What are possible causes of such majority of apps being not compatible with this device despite the fact that it seems to be a generic android phone?
2. Why universal input apps such as Google's Gboard crash after a while or do not install at all?
3. How can I safely flash the device with a custom recovery?
Thanks in advance

Hello my XDA friends
I just buy a new H96 MAX+ 4/32GB RK3328 Android 9 TV BOX, build RK3328_V2R0 and Kernel version 4.4.159.
After I set it up and when I tried to to update the Google plays services from the Play store, it always gives me an error code-504 for updating.
I Google a little and I tried to certificate Google Services Framework ID, tried with factory reset, deleted data, cache, uninstalled and reinstall Google updates. Nothing works for me.
I didn't have problems with logging in play store, gmail, Chrome.
Google play services are v.14.3.67
Google is v.8.39.8.21.arm64
Play store is v.12.4.14-all[0] [PR] 219234122
Google service framework is v.9
I'm also very confused,why can't I install another android launcher, gives me error code - 504
I have pre installed RKMC and playstore recognized it as KODI and gives me an option for updating and giving me a error code - 505 for installing (updating)
Is there any solution for these problems
Thank you for your attention
Same for me, i guess H96 with android 9 is a mess

I bought the same tv box and I have the same issue to install a new launcher. I don't have the error message but a message telling that's wasn't possible to install only.
About RKMC, it's a FORK of KODI. Bellow has a link explaining all about that but is in portuguese:
https://www.aminhacasadigital.com/2017/04/afinal-o-que-e-um-fork-do-kodi.html
I deleted the RKMC app and installed KODI 18.5 of the official website.
Do you solved the issue about launcher's installation ?
EDIT:
The new launcher's installation issue was solved with the firmware update. The box came with firmware very limited dated of 2018/12/05. The files and instructions to update could be found in the page https://www.h96tvbox.com/content/6-Firmware-upgrade.

I ran into the same issue today. I'm not sure when it started as I didn't use my device for the past 2 days. But anyway I followed all the guides online and ended up doing 2 factory reset which didn't fix the issue. I was still on Android 8.0 though because I wanted to keep TrueHD passthrough so after the 2nd factory reset I allowed the 9.0 upgrade to go through and now Netflix is working again. Bummer!
Experiencing this exact issue as of 2 days. Have no idea how to fix this
i have the same problem i am on android 9 but not the latest update
UPDATE:I have updated the mi box and its working i think it has to do with drm keys been updated
I read many bad opinions about updating this Mi Box to higher versions of Android. I was avoiding to update as hard as I can.
Are there any problems with version 9.0? I heard about lagging, slowing down, apps crashing...
Which functions I will lost updating from 6.0.1 to 9.0? I know it is one way procedure, it cant be undone..
Also had this problem. I've updated to the latest firmware and Netflix works again.

I'm not sure about what you lose from 6.0.1, but I know from 8.0 to 9.0 you lose HD audio passthrough. Atmos with DD 5.1 still works but you can no longer pass 7.1 Atmos, True HD, and DTS X. If you don't care for those then it's not a big deal to upgrade
Those who don't want to upgrade can send ESN and I can integrate it in a modded Netflix apk which will play Netflix in full HD.
Is it safe to share ESN number?
Yes, you can cut it after the 5-figure number.

I sent you ESN via private message.
I see. I will send you the apk with the ESN number added in the evening.
Here is the Netflix apk which should work on Mibox.
The apk doesn't contain the full ESN, just the part which is the same for all Miboxes:
com.netflix.ninja_8.1.2_build_3844_mod_XIAOMIMIBOX3_fullHD
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

It worked for me!

Does it work on ANY Mibox 3?
I ask because I have the same device (MDZ 16 AB), and the same problem - my Netflix stopped working on 10/12, a week ago.
When I saw this topic it was like the "light at the end of the tunnel", as I also don't want to update the box (mine is ATV 8.0 Oreo) and yet wish to have Netflix back. So I didnt think twice when I saw the modded apk file, so immediately went try to install it on the box.
Unfortunately, installation failed! I tried using Root Explorer app, as I always do when installing apks on mibox. But no success there. There is a message that says someting like "could not match the previous installed version." Reminding that Netflix app is a "system native" one, that is impossible to uninstall, just deactivate. Maybe it has something to do with this.
PLease, let me know a solution for this. I was so close that giving up now is not an option!
It should work on any Mibox if you manage to install it. I don't have the Mibox myself. I just modified the apk with the ESN number. Try this from another user:
1. delete app data
2. force stop app
3. Uninstall
4. Restart device
5. install moded apk
My mibox is running on Android 6.0.1 and Netflix was preinstalled but not system app, I was able to uninstall it.
Maybe it is possible to uninstall Netflix via ADB?
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm realizing that the holdback is my Netflix being a system app, impossible to remove it completely. I've already wiped off everything I could from it - app data, unnistall updates... basically it is back to factory version. That is the best I can do.
Previously, I was able to install other Netflix versions via Aptoide TV (none worked, of course), through the "update" option, much like the Play Store way. So maybe the matter is the modded apk's way of installation.

Well, if it helps to clarify the issue, this is exactly the error message after trying to install the modded apk. It says:
"INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE Package com.netflix.ninja signature do not match the previously installed version_ignoring!
So, would anyone know of any more ways to erase a system app on Android TV? I can't believe we are on the threshold of 2022 and there is still no way to get rid of these bloatwares quickly and easily!
Or else, any indication of a nice and clean tutorial for removing app via ADB, specific for mibox 3, would be of great help!
Happens also in my mibox 3.
How come lots of people are having this issue these days.
Seems like they are having some kind of expiration date bug.
