Hello,
I have a X96 Max Plus tv box buyed on december last year.
I want to use a USB game controller VID 0x0079 PID 0x0006 DragonRise Inc. generic USB Joystick.
The device is seen by the app called USB host viewer but don't generate events when key is pressed.
Also the analog button don't work.
How can I make android seen the device?
Maybe I need correct keydev.ko file? Where to find it? and how to install?
Thank in advance
mauro.

You can take the file from any amlogic android 8+, as 8+ uses the new 4.x kernel I have a fair few roms and i cant find that file in any of the 9.0 roms, it may have never been compiled for the newer kernel but it give alot of options for you to look
edit:
I found the file, check it on https://github.com/ewwink/Root-Android-S905X3-plus-Dragonrise-generic-USB-Joystick-driver
---------------------
have you found the file?
I would have a problem with an X96max +, namely what happens (it has any android system on it) when the HDR logo appears on the LG TV at boot, the system slows down (freezes) at the boot screen and "System UI isn't responding for a long time "subtitle for wait or close will be followed by another, then it will be very difficult to load the system, but the Wifi will be turned off. It plays on almost every boot, whether you switch from CE to droid or not. Can anyone help?
reset to factory default or flash with another ROM

I'd bought this WE a little box from Engel Axil with Android 2.3.
This box is powered by an ARM CORTEX (armv7) processor with 512Mo of RAM and 2Go stockage.
More info HERE.
I'd installed openssh and I can see the return of 'uname -a':
Code:
Linux localhost 2.6.34 V1.3.0-70-gee2481e(20120217.100957) armv7l GNU/Linux
A spanish community seem to have succeed to make a ICS release for it HERE, but they don't say anything about the procedure to install this.
Is there somebody here which will be able to explain me how to upgrade my Engeldroid ?
With 'busybox installer' and ssh terminal, I am able to get root access.
Now I try to set the default home launcher to something else than original spanish launcher....
I'm interested in this too!
The EngelDroid 1007M looks just like what I need, but I don't like that its software is in spanish.

Hello Guys,
I'm living in Spain myself and bought me one of these nifty boxes as well and started to fizzle around with it.
Here are my findings with it so far:
Android:
The box comes standard with Android 2.4.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I'm at work right now and can't remember correctly ) but can be upgraded to a 4.0.3 version that is made by Mygica.es.
The link to download the upgrade is indeed the link you've posted.
To install this upgrade you will need to download the zipfile, rename it to update.img and copy it to a clean SD Card.
Make sure that the Engeldroid is powered off and put the SD Card in the Engeldroid.
Than take something pointy and press and hold the reset button on the back (the smal little hole) and plug in the power connection to boot the Engeldroid in update mode. You can release the reset button when you see the restore-android-logo appearing on the screen.
The droid will now look for the update.img on the SD Card and start updating your box. There will be a random offset message but that is nothing to worry about and does not give any problems with the installation.
The first time after installing this new Android version the unit will take up to 15 minutes to boot it due to installing all settings and default apps from this custom rom.
The normal remote control with the keyboard on the back won't work anymore, but the motion controller will. It is highly advisable to connect a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or combination. Myself, I'm using a Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad combination which works flawless.
Another option for the Media Center tweakers would be to install Linux with XBMC on this.
It is nowhere comfirmed but that is how I am using my Engeldroid at the moment and it turned my droid box into a proper XBMC media center and Samba file server that shares all my movies from the connected disc on the network as well.
The install procedure is the almost the same as with the other ROMS, download, unpack the zipfile, make sure the file is called update.img, copy to the root of the SD Card, plug it in and reset the droid with the reset button hold.
The link for the specific build of XBMC Linux that is working with our droid I can't post here yet, but search on google for: Pivos XBMC-Linux Beta 100912 and you will find the Pivos forums with the release topic of this ROM.
Don't try the Android ROM from Pivos, it is not compatible with the Engeldroid EN1007M. No worries if you want to try it, it won't blow up our box but just won't install.
If you have any more specific questions, please ask or send me a message or email and I will get in touch with you.
Official update
There is an official update for this device to ICS 4 (site in spanish though)
engeldroid . com
Got to "Nueva ROM Android 4 ICS" --> "ROM Android 4 ICS" (I'd link it but I don't have 10 posts yet )
The KIII I got is now working very well. Hardware is good but the remote control is very week. I use an Air Keyboard anyway (pic below).
My main use is Kodi Video. I use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video too. I sideloaded each of those. The Kodi Version 15.2 installed with the box is 'special' and steers you to pay services and removes and limits some addons. A sideload of Kodi Jarvis 16.x failed and you have to uninstall Kodi 15.2 first. If you want to clone a different box, make an XBMC backup and restore. Were I to do it again, I would likely install SPMC Kodi Forkhttp://spmc.semperpax.com/ You can keep the stock 15.2 and run SPMC at the same time.
I didn't like the launcher and chose Nova Prime. Long press on the left mouse key or menu button will behave like screen press on phone.
Without a recovery or recovery image, I am reluctant to make many changes to /system. If I make a mistake, I don't know how to recover and vendor has not been responsive to pointing me to recovery image.
The Settings App is a pain. I used Quick ShortShortCutMaker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut to make shortcut to the AOSP settings app.
I didn't like the unknown to me Supersu installed. I installed a more standard Supersu and then I was able to get to the settings and permissions for Supersu. Were I to do it again, I'd try QuickShortCutMaker to find a shortcut to the installed SuperSu.
Some apps, i.e. Titanium Backup did not fit the screen properly and the overflow menu was not accessible. Menu on remote works. Editing build.prop and putting qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the last line solved the menu over flow problems.
You can reboot into stock recovery with ADB over WiFi.
KIII S905 2GB/16GB Android v5.1.1 TV Box from ebay
I bought a KIII S905 2GB/16GB Android v5.1.1 TV Box from ebay also. It is working okay for the most part but I don't like the watered down settings app menus that came installed with it. I too am looking for a backup firmware image that will work on this box should it ever get corrupted and I have to reload from scratch. The specs on this box I have seem impressive for the $67 I paid for it on ebay (from China seller)... but there are no firmware update instructions or availability that I am aware of. It has an online OTA update app but it always times out and says failed to connect to server or some such message. I don't know if there will be future support on future OS updates or not for these boxes... so starting to research other alternative firmwares that can load on these boxes and work just in case of emergency should I ever corrupt the system and have to rebuild from scratch. I am surprised that there is no interest in these KIII boxes on the forums so far. Is it too new to catch on?
Mine has dual Wi-Fi antennas on it and supports 802.11AC Wi-Fi plus has gigabit LAN, 2GB and 16GB RAM and storage, S905 CPU. 4 USB ports, 1 TF card slot. Optical output jack, and all the standard goodies on most boxes. Seems loaded and a good buy for about $67. It is working just fine but trying to find out if these boxes have support from alternative sources.

I just wanted to point out that the above previous post was from me, infobits... I don't know why the XDA forums forced me to login with a google account id when trying to use Internet Explorer 11... the XDA forum pages do not display properly on IE11 and are all whacky. They display fine using the new MS Edge browser and Chrome... but not IE11. So I could not logon with my long time member userid of infobits. I wound up logging in as a new member with my Google userid. oh well.
Please help
Thanks for the info.
I got this box 3 days ago and it's been a real pain to deal with.
When I begin to use the box somehow I got plenty of "Unfortunately, Google Play services as stopped" errors. When I say plenty it's like 1 error in every 5 seconds or so.
I tried to update the firmware (that seller gave me) but I'm getting this error:
Code:
"This package is for "p20x" devices; this is a "p20x" ddrsize=".
(Status 7)
I start looking around and I found out that my build.prop in system directory doesn't have this getprop("ro.platform.ddrsize") == "2G" that the "updater-script" file in the firmware requires.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

There appears to be several manufacturers of this KIII S905 TV Box. I found at least three of them listed in their corresponding websites: Acemax, Venztech and Videostrong. When inquired, each claimed they are the OEM. I hope they have similar board design (but perhaps with different eMMC and RAM chip manufacturers). I hope to receive my KIII soon and when I do, I will try to open and examine the board and post the hardware info here.
You can download stock firmware for Acemax KIII: http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...-1-1-stock-firmware-acemax-kiii-tv-box-2.html. One OEM sent me the link to the latest firmware but I have not been successful in downloading it as the instructions are in Chinese and it kept getting aborted from download errors.

Hi, I was able to download the firmware file using FireFox browser. I first tried to download it using IE11 but it failed near the end saying the file was too large and to try using another browser like Chrome or FireFox. FireFox worked for me. And I don't see any Chinese language instructions... it was all in English. So you may want to try the download again. I am saving this firmware in case I ever corrupt my KIII box and will only try to load it then. I am just saving it as a backup measure for now. So I don't know if it will load on my no-name KIII box successfully or not at this time as I am not trying it.

Sorry, I was in the process of updating the link to the latest KIII-ota-20160317.164729.V1031P2.zip firmware when I saw your post. In case you didn't catch it, you can try the updated link to get the March 17 2016 version. Yes, I did download both versions from the link I posted. As for the Chinese language instructions site, it wasn't from the same OEM. It was from another manufacturer whom I had requested and had in turn gave me a link to some Chinese cloud storage place. I think the one from Acemax should be ok as it is for the same KIII S905 with 2G/16G and 802.11ac wifi.
Have you been able to save the nandroid and flash the latest fw?

Yup, that's the same one I put in edited post #5. Perhaps I should have created a new one instead of just editing it.
You're right, the files are dated 2008, but one of the files contain reference to 20160317 (March 17, 2016). Also it's signed so I'm sure it's legit.
BTW are you also experiencing the same Google Play has stopped issue reported by @Polido-PT?

No, I have not experienced the Google Play has stopped on my KIII. However, I cannot navigate the Google Play store using the provided KIII remote control buttons. I have to use an external USB wireless keyboard with touchpad or air-mouse in order to move around and select things. That's the only issue I have with that. I have not tried downloading many apps using the play store though so I don't know if it might one day stop on me also.
I run Plex, Kodi 16.0, Amazon Prime Video, SiriusXM Radio apps on mine just fine. Some of the apps require the use of the external USB keyboard to navigate. So having a USB keyboard with touch-pad or air-mouse is a requirement for some apps.
BTW, my KIII seems to be rooted already out of the box as provided. I don't know if all KIII's come rooted or not but figure its worth mentioning it.
I am disappointed that the performance on the 5GHz network is very poor. Speedtest only achieved 3 to 4 Mbps compared to 33 Mbps on the 24GHz network, the same speed as via ethernet and on my PC on the same 5GHz network, essentially my ISP subscription speed. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
If you are looking for a TWRP recovery for KIII, try Abdul's TWRP 3.0.2 http://www.freak-tab.de/abdul_pt/aml/TW3_KIII_.img.
Today I decided to replace the original factory recovery on my KIII. What I did was:
1. Copy the recovery file to the root directory of a PC formatted FAT32 uSD card, at least 16GB so it can hold a full nandroid backup.
2. Rename it to recovery.img and it must be in the root directory. The card may contain other folders and files.
3. Hold the reset button using a paper clip thru a tiny hole at the bottom of the device then plug the power in.
4. Wait until the S905 logo appears before releasing the reset.
5. Within several seconds, you should see the TWRP 3.0.2.
6. You can use it to wipe or flash from the external SDcard while preserving the original recovery, or replace the factory recovery with TWRP's recovery.img file.
I had successfully performed full nandroid backup with this TWRP and I can confirm that the restore function works. Next step to test is to do a wipe and perform a clean install.

Look Inside!
I don't know if anyone has opened theirs up and looked inside and found what I have but when I did I found only 1 of the 2 antennas hooked up, or with a cable for that matter.

Probably they initially designed it to use a WiFi chip that supports dual antenna, but then decided to go with a cheaper chip and put a dummy antenna since the plastic case mold has already been released, to beat time-to-market deadline.
One of the reasons I bought KIII was the dual band 802.11ac WiFi, but alas I got only 4 Mbps out of the 5GHz band! The box was practically next to my router, so it's not an antenna issue. I hope there'll be a firmware fix soon. Anyone else got the same issue?
USB HDD
Hello!
I use KIII tv box as a torrentbox with ttorrent app.
Also have the servers ultimate app running with a ddns update and local network ftp servers.
Problem is that the usb hdd i attached is getting unmounted after a day...
Is has no seperate power suply cable, only connetsc to the box's usb port with a data cable.
Is there any option to kill this automatic unmont?
mount files from local NAS using CIFS
It would be great to be able to mount network shares to the local file system using CIFS with the KIII . It would basically give your device unlimited storage capacity while connected to your home network.
Has anybody try to mount network shares to the local file system using CIFS with the KIII??
Does the Kernel support CIFs??
Thank you in advance
David
I just received this box, I usually like to download torrents while watching youtube or kodi. The problem I have with this box is it closes my torrent app as soon as I leave it to go to another app.
I went into developer settings and unchecked "kill apps",but it still kills the app when I switch to another.
Is there a setting I'm missing or is this standard of the KIII tv box?

kiii : stops video playback
Hello. I also have just got a kiii box.
I met troubles. The video playback stops after few minutes. This is true for xbmc and MX player....
The firmware is a kernel version built on 2016 mars 17th.
I requested an updated version but seems not easy....
Any idea?

Hello infobit.
It seems that you are using xbmc 16.1. To do it, I had to uninstall first xbmc and then install the new version. Now, but I don't know if it is the consequence or not, the video play back stops after few minutes (15 minutes). Do you meet similar problems?
Regards.

Both the KII and KIII have a "compromised" SUD that will grant root permissions to any app that requests them.
I have 2 different android boxes, on the KIII tv box, I like to run torrents while I watch youtube videos. Problem is with this box it closes the app as soon as I switch to another.
I already check the box in developer settings to not kill any apps in background, It still does.
Is it something I'm missing? My mini mx does not do this is this just a KIII thing, where I can only run 1 app at a time?

Its something in the built.prop, in the past i knew what to change but i forgot it...
dammit i got the same problem with my friends box. mine is fixed for this problem but i cant remember how i did it...
can no one help ?
Finally found it....
So you have to use a explorer with root access and delete or edit "allowbackgroundapp.list" located at "/system/etc"
I use to edit the list and add the names of apps i wanne run in the background, like "org.xbmc.kodi" , "tv.twitch.android.app" or "org.mozilla.firefox".
Actually pretty easy, hope i could
Question is what is with you box ?! Start in Bluescreen, bootloop, go into a mode !? My english is not the best but the first idea is download the stock rom version and flash it with Burn USB Card on a SD card (you must format it in the tool) and then it will work i think.
If it not work, use USB burning tool but you need a male 2 male usb cable for it.
I have flash my box today with a wrong custom rom and have only a bluescreen (shoot my Mainboard driver i think or HDMI) but with a stock ROM i have start a flash and an half hour later (i cant see what the box do) i make the box power of and the box start nice again.
Please tell us what for a box you have, what for a CPU and RAM version and the name of the box.
In China the guys clone a clone :S its hard to help. Best way for flashing is to open the box and look on the chips what you have

Hello !
It works very well on my H96 Max X2 4/32 wich was not ATV
I have try so many ROM.... Sometime, the wifi doesn't work (either the start with remote), sometime IPTV software crash.
Your ROM is fine and everything is OK (wifi, IPTV, remote, Led, Youtub, Play store....). Fast and fluid with your ATV 8.1.

Thanks a lot !!!

Hello, I am very pleased that Rome works so well for you.
Could you please explain to me how you installed this Rom?
did you just use the update app that came with the original rom or how did you do that, there is supposed to be a flash tool, i would like to copy it for you, i have the same box and it always crashes with the original firmware, thank you very much.

It is easy. You need to flash the android Tv box (search on youtub "how to flash H96 max2")
It is always the same with Amlogic CPU. You need to use USB burning tool and a USB cable with 2 males.
Don't be worried about doing this. I was a little anxious the first time i do it, but it is really easy.
I try many ROM for my H96 Max X2 4/32. This one is the best. The original ROMS are very bad (you can found them on the web "h96tvbox").
Tell me back if you success !
thanks a lot for the help, i ordered the right cable, as soon as it is there i will test it, thanks for the quick answer i will contact you again and share my experience
Hi
hdmi cec is not running. As soon as I activate the option, I can no longer start the box using the remote control.
then it only helps to take electricity and plug it in again.
Hello I need urgent help, when trying to flash the ROM I always get the error " 0x10401001 Romcode/BI2_Boot stage Error" what can I do?
Hello. please, is there any tutorial on how to flash? USB burning tool freezes at 3 % and AMLogic Flash Tools can't flash the rom, only Bootloader or Recovery. Thank you.

check your H96Max x2, maybe it is a different version as mine.
AIDA64 says the board as franklin , not u211 based.
this firmware is for u211 based one.
mine has LPDDR3 ram and says g12a_u212_4g.
If you have a chance to update this firmware, the board has bricked at BL2 stage memory init process.
So far, i have no chance to replace my device's firmware with every firmware downloaded from net.
Hi, i have this box if i plug the usb my box turn on but nothing on pc . its' appear disconnected to him. Do you have an idea ? Thanks (sorry for my english)

Hi, mine says U211 but any rom working. I have updated to official firmware and only one working, rom android 9.0 for LPDDR3 and now aida says Franklin ! it's very strange... any rom are compatible with U212 ???
my only one firmware is "aml_s905x2_9.0_H96Max_X2_mac_wifi_20190920.img" .
But I got the device with firmware dated oct or nov .
On my research, my firmware is more similar with S905x3 ones.
Now my plan is the change of the home launcher only.
【2019 TV BOX / 4GB + 64GB】H96 MAX Android 8.1 TV Box 4G + 64G Amlogic S905 X2 Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 Smart Set-top box, Support 2.4G / 5.8G
I have this one, can I install this rom successfully?
very good rom, thanks
is it possible to get the status and navigation bars back?
Hi guys,
There is two versions of H96max2 (they are exactly the same when you look at the box)
- the DDR4 one, some time name "u211". This firmware is Ok for this one. And a lot of others too.
- the LPDDR3 one, some time name "aml". This firmware not loading and do 3% error boot. For this one, you can install firmware from web site 4pda (look for H96max2). You must take the aml "ANDROID TV 9 vietnamien"
It works well, you need ton change language first if you are not russian (!).
Lovely rom, works so God damn well. You revived this box for me, I cannot wait for the pie version.
For update H96 Max X2
Thank you for this firmware is all i want, :victory:
best way for the update
1. Download Burn Card Maker --
2. Format fat32, your microSD card (not greater than 8GB ) -- formatting with your pc not with the utility ( He broke my 32GB sdcard)
3. Check yes (normal sd bootloader)
4. check yes (force erasing) flash
5. open your img file (that you download from this site)
6. Power off your Device, and unplug it from the power source
7. put your microSD card in your device (they have 3 files)
8. take the toothpick and place it inside the AV port, holding the button down then connect your box and power it up, keep the toothpick in place to hold the button down until the logo emerges.
Well, its time of Android TV 9 for all AllWinner H6!!!
Install on your T95MAX or any box Allwinner H6 the rom of Pendoo X6 Pro
LINK https://drive.google.com/file/d/11_TqTWv2hjlHEiceNHtG87TTEod3nOTr/view
then flash it with PhoenixUSBPro PC Tool and connect the tv box to ethernet or wifi at first boot
In Display settings set the correct resolution for your TV, now must delete some files and folders with the help of titanium backup and of a root browser. This step is very important because the space on system is limited and, if you don t delete all unnecessary files, you will receive an error of no space left on device when will push in the system the files of ATV9.
With titanium backup delete the app called Google 9.94.5.21 arm
Delete also one to one all preinstalled apps from settings apps except Airplay and disable app called simply Google
Now with a root browser/explorer in data/app delete the folder called com.android.vendingXXX if exists
In system, delete with a root explorer the entire folder called fastpreinstall and all files in preinstall folder except DairScreen
delete in system/priv-app the folders called GmsCoreSetupPrebuilt and PhoneSky
delete in system/app the folders called lcx6pro and YoutubeTV2
Now, without reboot the box, open from a pc - located in the same network of the tv box - the file in this folder called cmd-here and give these commands one to one
adb connect IP ADDRESS OF YOUR TV BOX
adb root
again...adb connect IP ADDRESS OF YOUR TV BOX
adb remount
adb push app /system/
adb push etc /system/
adb push framework /system/
adb push priv-app /system/
adb push usr /system/
adb reboot
Enjoy Android 9 ATV!!!
NOTE 1 - I tried in every mode to include playstore of all the versions for android TV but always says that the device is incompatible or crash. For this reason i have insert stock google service that obviously not working in ATV but you can use Aurora Store or other markets for download all the apps that you want spoofing another device, work also apps in ATV format not only the normals.
NOTE 2 - The procedure flash the files of keylayout of T95MAX, then will work only the stock remote infrared of the T95MAX. If you have another device, use another remote controller with a dongle USB or, if you want use the stock remote, copy and substitute - with a root file browser- the folder keylayout located in /usr with that of your stock rom.
NOTE 3 - At every boot will request a prompt where you must decide what launcher use..ignore it clicking on anything of they and will start ATV 9!
NOTE 4 - If at first boot of ATV9 you receive errors of crash of system apps unnecessary as Keychain, please ignore it, you can disable it but the errors should disappear alone in few minutes and not return.
Thats all!

Nice! Will this work for the Android TX6S with Android 10?
The SoC is an Allwinner H616. I wonder if it makes a difference that it is Android 10.
Does Netflix, and HBO work?
The Play Store does not work, or is it possible to maintain the mobile one?
guide updated!
I had the same question. Did you try? Does it work?

No, the only version of the playstore that works is the leanback 6.0.2 with a flash of the latest tvgapps / others playservices and playstore crashes or appeare a message that playstore is not compatible with device/....but adding this leanback working playstore create a big problem. All apps not only of this playstore... but also of alternative markets - such as aurora store and aptoide tv - are viewed in mobile version. The TV apps functionality is totally broken in this mode and TV designed apps not will work anymore. I cannot re add the playstore for this reason.
Regarding Netflix and HBO....HBO should works without problem the TV version as many others apps that i have tested...Netflix works fine but the black mobile version. this is a problem of all the TV boxes that have a widevine L3 certification and lack of level 1 DRM that Netflix ATV version requires.
Regarding the compatibility of my procedure with other Soc as Allwinner H616 not have tested but not should work because the ATV9 files used are for Android 9 designed. Should instead works with other Soc with Android 9 stock rom.
Thanks for replying

Then I won't risk it on mine TX6S since it is the Allwinner H616.
I think this one also only uses the black mobile version and there won't be much to do about that, but I don't care so much as long as content is played in Full HD. However, my ROM is faulty. First, it didn't accept my Google account. I reset the box and then it accepted but HBO, Vodafone TV app and Netflix don't work.
I haven't had time to play around with it, though.
Did someone solve the Netflix issue ? I cast the Netflix from my phone and they stuck with 3 dots loading on box
Help required. Update get stuck at 62% and abort

Hello fosseperme!
Thank You for this titanic work!
Cool!!!
Everything is working good!
But there is a problem...
The "Home" button does not work on the Remote control.
On any Remote control:
- stock Remote control;
- bluetooth or radio Remote control (for example Rii mini i25a).
I tried to use different software for these purposes, which reassigns keys, for example the "Button Mapper", but other problems appear:
- the icons of the left row applications (recommendation channels) do not scale;
- when I launch applications (from the "Favorites") - appears "Menu" (as if I press a long "Ok").
Can fix it?
Thanks!
PS. Box - Tanix Tx6, 4/32.
PPS. Sorry for my English - it's not my native language.
Does anyone have the rom for this??? File can’t be found....
