I'm developing some apps for Firefox OS, but am currently limited to doing so on the Firefox OS Simulator. I'd like to flash Firefox OS onto a real device, but I own none of the supported devices, and of some of them I can't even find a single mention anywhere on the internet with the exception of the wiki.
Now I have this very slow Cherry Mobility Android JB (originally ICS) tablet lying around. Would there be any chance of getting Firefox OS running properly on this device, or is it a lost case? If I remember correctly, it has Linux 3.2 underneath it (the Android ROM which is currently on the tablet, I mean). Would I be able to extract the drivers from the Android ROM and use them with Firefox OS?
if you play around with the manifest xml files, you might have some success. You could have a look at the threads of the nexus (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924367) or samsung ports () to get a better idea of porting. You can also have a look at B2G, might help you out.
I have for a long time wanted a Android TV.
But those are expensive. So I still have my good old flat screen upgraded whit a chromcast 2.
BUT I WANT MORE!!! And i came across a project here on xda (details to come).
A ported Android TV ROM to a pi 3 B.
The problem is that I have a pi 3 B+.
There for I won't work.
Also... I want some extra features like twrp recovery and root.
I have tryed to swap files, flash files, extract files, making searches on google. And nothing.
All I know is that the system is a Sony elf system and even that did not help my just a tiny bit.
So my question is how do I get "under the hood" of this ROM that I want to mod?
pi 3 b+ and pi 3b kernels are different so you must compile a new rom with pi 3 b+ source code and android tv source code
That was kinda the plan.
I am working on building a new ROM at the time but I have no idea of what I am doing.
Hi all,
I have a Firefly ROC-RK3399-PC (also called "Renegade Elite") dev board that I desperately want to turn into an Android TV 10 box. Firefly has a great how to on how to compile the stock Android 10: [Compile Android 10](http://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS/compile_android10.0_firmware.html), but not how to compile Android TV 10! Does Android TV require a special build option? A different repo source? Is it just a series of apps that have to be installed on top of the stock Android?
After googling my guts out for months I still have no clue.
I will be eternally grateful if anyone can explain how to compile Android TV 10 from source!
Thanks in advance!
-Dan
I don't know if it's helpful https://www.96boards.org/projects/AOSPTVHikey/
You can compile it from the AOSP source using lunch. However, Android TV will be basically useless without Gapps.
Been wanting to tinker with this, wondering if anyone has tried yet, if so could you point me in the right direction as Google, and duck duck haven't yielded any results.

Yes it can be unlocked with the standard bootloader unlocking instructions for pixels. We are working on LineageOS for it, currently the repos have already been forked to the primary organization. We are just doing the finishing touches to it before it will go official.

To expand on this there are a few devices that are very similar so they share the common device tree. Google ADT-3 (Deadpool) and Dynalink TV box (Wade) are using the same board. Onn box is a variant of the board used on those with a few features and hardware removed to cut cost presumably. Everything is sharing a common kernel because amlogic has a unified kernel that supports all their soc's.
Unified kernel means this can be easily ported to s912?
Thanks for the info. Will that allow root, and backup using twrp? Software is part of equation, I'm working on a hardware piece to allow more storage, but I have to wait on the more savvy software guys like you to cover the ends I can't. You guys rock!!

Hey folks - I've installed Lineage OS "dopinder" for the Walmart Onn Android TV device. Can't run Netflix on it. Ultimately I want YouTube without ads.
Looks like I will need to run Magisk on this thing.
Can anybody help me run Magisk on the standard OS? It would be nice to have Netflix and also to be able to install some kind of ad-free YouTube. Has anybody done this yet? Anybody working on it?
I'm a noob to all this but if anybody would like to help me, I would love to try and get Magisk working.
For starters, does anybody know where I can get the stock/factory image? I erased mine when I installed Lineage OS on the Onn Android TV UHD device.
Do I need the stock recovery, too?

No need for rooting or flashing a new ROM. You can easily have ad-free youtube with Smart Tube Next. All you *should* need is the SmartTubeNext apk from github, a USB OTG cable with power, a USB stick, and a file explorer from the play store. Navigate to the USB stick and install the apk. Allow sideloading when it asks you. Log in and enjoy. Netflix should be available on the stock ROM.
This is all assuming the USB port on the ONN is OTG capable, which most streaming sticks have.
Hello, do your devices has parental control settings? My 4k box no
Does this work for the onn tv stick?

From my understanding the stick version (for $25) is not OTG capable. The box though (for $30) is OTG capable as I have checked it out myself. You have to use a FAT32 filesystem though otherwise the OS won't read the drive.
it’s now $20 at Walmart. Best value for sure
I'm looking for the universal remote codes for the uhd 4k box.........anyone have those? Thanks.
Does Netflix and Amazon prime still remain fully functional with lineage os or no?
Is there a specific section/thread for developement for this box on here? I just picked one up seems pretty sweet for 20 bucks!

also I’m not seeing prime video in the google play store? Is that something that needs to be sideloaded this device???

For prime video you can sideload the apk. If you want to see development there’s a lineageOS build in the Google tv section

Development is pretty good on this thread: [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices. It can get a little confusing due to the mixture of several devices, so you should read pretty much the whole thing.
I'm sticking with rooted stock on the 1st of 2 that I got until Lineage gets a bit more refined. Many thanks/kudos to those in that thread for all they have done and are still working on.
Second one is still pure stock OOB (never setup or connected to the Internet) that I am just experimenting with prior to actually flashing/modifying anything. It is still bootloader locked, yet I can still boot the Lineage recovery (odd). Actually flashing it w/o unlocking is doubtful, but still remains to be seen until I decide to bust it's cherry
Time permitting, I'll post some Onn Walmart (aka dopinder) specific things here if anyone gets lost over there. Just ask.
Happy trails...
Hi, I have an Android TV based set-top box using Hi3798mv100 chip. Does anyone have Android TV AOSP firmware for this chip?
I found repo have part of AOSP source code, but it miss some important files. https://github.com/wudilsr/HiSTBAndroid
P/s: I am new to AOSP as long as Android TV build. Have any guide build Android TV firmware from source? Thank everyone!

Hi! It's been almost one and a half month since I began experimenting with this TV box. Still can't get to Android recovery mode. We can work together to achieve this goal! Regards! Sebastian.
