What can I do with my Mibox 3? - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Hi everyone,
I have the Mibox 3 since a very long time, but it stopped working correctly the day it received the Oreo update, and still can't watch any Netflix video because of freezes.
I just received a notification from xda dev about a subject I participated in and it seems we can now install Android TV on the Mibox 3 but I'm not sure if I understood correctly. Can someone confirm that?
If yes, what do you think I should install to replace that ****ty xiaomi firmware? I'd like to use it for Netflix and Prime video mostly.
Thanks for any help or advice.

You broke a cardinal rule .....using an ambivalent name to refer to one of Xiaomi's 13 models.
What is the exact model number printed on silver label on bottom of device?
Is the case black or white plastic
Only by properly identifying box can you begin to make progress.

Hello,
You need to start with a "factory reset" (Settings > Storage & reset > Factory data reset) to have all clean parameters.
After, since Oreo update on the Mibox 3, this is MANDATORY to activate the parameter CEC SWITCH into the HDMI CEC section (to avoid freezes or wake-up issues).
Normaly, for Netflix, this is OK.
But for Prime video, I know you need a dedicated version (from Nvidia Shield or BBOX if I'm right ) !!
Due to your user profil, I think you need the French version. In this case, you can go here: https://www.dealabs.com/comments/permalink/28064672

The version for the tab does not even let me download it, I have tried the remote but it looks wrong and I want the video streaming function as this is one of the main reasons for buying it.
The Smart View-app isn't ready for the tabs yet.
Samsung issued a statement, when they first launched SmartView for the SGSII, that 8.9 and 10.1 tablets will be able to download the app in the late summer.. So just be patience (like me! )
I tried a downloadable .apk version on my 10.1 in combination with the d8000...
The remote function works, but when trying to switch to watch tv it crashes.
Then i found a ported version, which should work on more android devices.
That compatibility i can't check, but still the same crash on the 10.1...
i thought Samsung said they would put it on the 10.1 and 9.8 by default...
One of the main reasons, for bying it...

Have you even bothered to read my post right before yours?
Samsung never said it would be on the tab from the get-go.. They promised to release it "after the summer".. And seeing how vague that statement is (doesn't even tell if they mean summer in Miami, Stockholm, Capetown or Sidney), it's pretty safe to say that they're still in keeping with their promise..
any news about samsung second TV?
is there a new Version out there...

Nope, no news yet.
I wrote with a Samsung-dude last week, and all he could say is that they're still planning for at september/early october-release
See here for the download link and information about the app.

Hi,
I want to try the Smart View-Tab version on my Galaxy Note because the non-Tab version has low resolution.
Can any Tab owner share the new version of the Smart View-Tab app here ?
the apk please...
Also we have a discussion about this on the Note section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420918&page=2
I'd appreciate if anyone could share this app from their Tab 10...
Smart view Tab:

thank you.
but I get a package corrupt error.
can you check if it's not corrupted while uploading ?
package corrupt
Downloaded and installed here without any problems...
I've got a Samsung 5700 .. doesn't work though (even though I can activate network remote in my TV menu...) Anyone any ideas? What does my TV mean by Network Remote then?!
any news ?
can anyone else upload the Tab app from their Tab 10 ?
Did you try in the market? Both Samsung remote apps (tablet/non tablet version) show there?
"Samsung" as the query?
They don't list the "Tab" version to the Galaxy Note.
Don't know if this is what you are looking for, I use it to control my 7000 series Samsung LED on my Tab 10.1. For some reason I don't get the dual view as an option but I have read others are having the same issue. Works fine for me, full screen, as the other one is really small when it loads.

Xiaomi Redmi note 2 Bluetooth help please

I am very new to Android and this is my first post.
I hope you wise people here can help me with a problem, that I am having with my phone.
I have looked for help on YouTube but most posts seem to be Indian, so I am not sure if they are relevant to my phone.
I bought a Xiaomi Redmi note 2 recently, from Gearbest and for the most part, it meets my needs very well, however I cannot get Bluetooth to work with any of my other devices.
The car ice tells me that "my phone doesn't have the right profile?
The car's ice, my Nexus 7 and the hifi just find the phone but don't actually connect.
Android version 5.02 LRX22G
MIUI Version 66.77.33.00(LHMCNCH) Stable
Cpu octo core 2.2Ghz
Ram 2GB
I would be very grateful if you android experts could help me.
I use this ROM: http://www.needrom.com/download/miui-7-2-3-0-redmi-note-2/
Bluetooth works fine with it.
slimiui and nik ROM. Works well. I had same problem.
Thank you for your replies.
I have tried the link that you posted but it wants me to log in. I can't find a link to create an account, so that I can download the rom.
Can you recommend a video on YouTube, that will show me how to install rom?
I have seen a few videos that use the mui update app but this app crashes as soon as I select the 3 dots. So I am guessing that I'll have to do it on pc.
What software will I need to backup my phone? (I don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight)
what other software do I need to install a rom?
I'm not bad working with Windows but android is a complete mystery to me, I would really appreciate your help, patience and any useful tips you may have.
Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone
I've recently bought the Xiaomi Tv box 3 MDZ-16-AB, international version with Android 6.0 (2gb - 8gb). It worked well 2 days, then, just stopped working. It just has the white light working and that's all, the tv does not "see" it, my router says it's not connected, and the bluetooth remote does not aany effect on it. It's just like it does not know it's a tv box, sounds funny but don't know how to explain it. Thinks something went wrong on software. I did not nothing (root ecc), just installed some app from the google store and when come back to home it was not responding anymore. Please anyone could help, give me an answer, unfurtunately i can't return it, and don't know what to do because it does not show any screen.
I underestand english, italian, russian & romanian, so please anyone help to solve this..
Regards

Xiaomi Laser projector

Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.

Change android TV to Technicolor DWT765MM box. Possible?

Hello everyone,
after unsubscribing from an internet + TV package, the old operator has left this TV box in my house. The problem is that it is blocked, that is to say, when I start it I get a message that the box is blocked and that I should contact Agile Tv to solve it (which I am not going to do). The Amazon and Netflix buttons work, but nothing else and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to reinstall a clean version of android TV to this box to be able to use it.
Regards
P.S: Sorry if my English is very bad.
