Need Firmware suggestions for a "StreamSmart.TV" S905 box. - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

I have an older "StreamSmart.TV" Android TV and the hardware while not great (even then!) is good but the company is no longer in business but I want to use it with a newer version of Android
The specs are:
S905 ARM Cortex A53 CPU with the Mali 450 Video chip set, 2GB of DDR 3 and 8GB of Rom
I see ROMS for the S905 SOCS that have a letter and/or number suffix but none for the plain "S905" is there one that will work for this unit?
Thank You in advance!

Anyone?

No, to old hardware, maybe try setup SDcard with CoreELEC, or buy new TV box with budget SoC (S905W2).

[Q]Device

Hi, i want to buy this device, but in webpage im purchasing it from, it has written ARM Cortex A8, but on many sites i see its A9 dualcore with tegra 250. So what is truth ?
In case this is real Folio 100(i.e. shop can be trusted), then It should have A9 Dual Core Nvidia Tegra SOC onboard

Can you post a link to that page... info is off if you are buying a real Folio

[Q] Will the gnex be a high end phone?

so will the gnex be a high end phone as in having desktop convergence? according to their website, for it to be a high end phone, it needs to have a quadcore a9 processor. otherwise it fulfills every other aspect. this phone has a dualcore a9 processor, so will there be desktop convergence. I really hope there will be I want to try it out.
Well from what I saw, every video demo etc. Was specifically the galaxy nexus. At one point I did see "a" phone connected using the desktop feature. Each phone I saw using the Ubuntu mobile has been the nexus.
Edit : I've also heard the specs released aren't final and just a figure for certain phones.

the entry specs are
1Ghz Cortex A9
512MB – 1GB
4-8GB eMMC + SD
Multi-touch
hig end specs are
Quad-core A9 or Intel Atom
Min 1GB
Min 32GB eMMC + SD
Multi-touch
so i think The Galaxy Nexus is just a "normal" UbuntuPhone device

that's OEM specs, which doesn't mean much for download/install version potentially. The values of which would have been decided are best to give the full desktop experience - including downloading alot of desktop apps. Time will tell, but I suspect desktop version will run perfectly on GNEX, or any other internal memory only phone - it's just a matter of keeping your eye on space available when you are installing Ubuntu native apps.
I'm also wondering if the Desktop Feature will simply be disabled on devices with lower than recommended specs. I have seen some Ubuntu on Android videos using a Motorolla Atrix II which has exactly the same hardware as the GNex. It ran the desktop and even Ubuntu TV pretty good considering it was early in development (1 year ago) and running ontop of Android with bridges to access the phone settings and apps.

Kingbox K1 plus, optical similar too leelbox, which CPU inside?

https://www.amazon.de/Kingbox-Quad-..._rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=BQC7Q0FPM8RDBMV36PTQ
does anyone know more about this box?
comes with a53....s905 s/w/x, or rockchip?
cannot find anything out there and would be glad about some input
I saw a seller in china that said that is a Amlogic S905 in the description and in the specs it said:
CPU RK3229 quad-core cortex-A7 frequency:2.0G
GPU Mali-400 5-Core GPU
***** RAM 1G DDR3
ROM 8G ROM
And leelbox website says RK3229.
I would not buy it if they can't even get the specs right. Maybe ask the amazon seller.

How to root venturer Voyager 7" tablet VCT9F78Q22EU

HI XDA folks,
So i wanted to get my kids a budget tablet for christmas, but not junk. Something that would be ok. Now for me Android needs atleast 2gb RAM. All of the devices i have tried with 1GB of RAM are slow as hell.
https://venturer.com/product/venturer-voyager-7-android-tablet/ The device is from ventuer which is a rebrand of RCA which is also Alco. So there are a few devices on XDA already.
It as 10 Go and is ok for its spec. But i know from my own experiences tinkering with Dev options and Build prop etc, different Firmware I know it can be made smoother. It has the full google suite for starters...
Anyways, I installed Android Assitant which gave me this information.
So a bit of info.
Model = VCT9F78Q22EU
Android = 10 (go version)
brand = Venturer
Manufacturer = Alco
board= tb8168p1_bsp
Hardware= mt8168
4 cores 2ghz each, armeabi-v7A, armeabi
MediaTek MT8168 Processor - Benchmarks and Specs
Benchmarks, information, and specifications for the MediaTek MT8168
www.notebookcheck.net
Mediatek SOC
Anyways, any one come across this device so far? Any chance of rooting?
Regards
Berty
1024x600 res, 160 dpi, 55hz refresh,
2gb RAM 16Gb of storage leaving 11.65gb to works with. comes with SD slot

Hi, what processor recommended?

I wanted to make a custom PC build but I wanted to ask you what processor recommended. My search on wallapop is Intel Core i5, but which version recommended? Link to my search
@CzechosDrama,
When looking for anything you want to purchase, build, repair, install, or uninstall. Always do research yourself as that will get you the best results. Luckily, Google has all the information you need for free to do this research, not to mention pricing and availability. Google is your friend.
Thank you!

If I was to do a PC build though. In regards to a processor I would go with the Intel i7. It's really fast and reliable.
Thank you!
thisguy12win
But you are building a pc for office or a gaming pc? this is very relevant

If it's not too late, here's some important things to know:
1. The biggest mistake people make is that they always classify processors by i3, 5, 7 and 9. Don't do this. Each processor is different based on its generation. For example, the 12th gen October 2021) i5-12600K is much faster than the 11th gen i9-11900K (March 2021), even though the number is lower.
2. There are always two types of i5 CPUs in each generation:
- i5-#400
- i5-#600
Where # is the generation number.
i5 600 CPUs are better than i5 400 CPUs but are more expensive.
3. Intel has different letters at the end of some CPUs, the main ones to know are:
K - This means that the chip is unlocked, meaning you can overclock it without voiding warranty. For any processor that is 12th gen or newer, it also means they get extra cores.
F - No integrated graphics. If you get a CPU ending with F (e.g: 12400F, 11600KF), your PC will not work unless you brought a separate graphics card (which you probably will). As a return, F CPUs are cheaper than the non-F versions.
On top of all that, i7 and i9 are still options depending on the generation.
It all depends on your budget and what you need from your PC.
I know that seemed way too complicated, so let me help you pick a CPU. Just tell me your budget and what you want your PC for.

My budget is 30€-80€ and I want my pc for gaming, surfing the internet and testing VMs (maybe).
What exactly is your full budget (like for everything)? I would personally recommend spending a bigger part of your budget towards your CPU. Ideally you would want a 6-core CPU, but the best thing I can find under 80 is an Intel i3-10100F from 2019 on sale.

I would go with a AMD Ryzen CPU, they come with built in Vega graphics that perform really well in gaming, meaning, you won't have to buy a graphics card, if you go with an Intel CPU, you will have to buy a graphics card. AMD is a real cost saver because they are cheaper than Intel and come with excellent built in graphics.
That's actually true. The integrated graphics are really good, and you can easily get a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen 3 or 5 for a good price now. If you ever need to upgrade your GPU down the line the older RX series is also dropping in price
13th Gen i5 or i7 if you've got a broader budget. i9 isn't worth it the money.
Ryzen are decent, I've got one, but the Intel 13th Gen outperforms them this round.
