I was curious to know if anyone has seen any development in porting the archos media player along with its codecs to android devices? I thought this would be something everyone would've wanted since androids video playback capabilities are quite poor.
Does anyone have an archos 5 with root access that can post the /system/app folder?
I have an archos 5 but its not rooted. lf you know of a method to root it let me know and i'll work on it.

I saw this when i googled rooting the device. I didn't read through the thread to make sure this actually works.

I wish i didn't get rid of my archos 5 when i got my incredible. Ugh....
I just wish there were 2.x roms for the A5IT
Archos Media Player app is awesome
It plays pretty much any movie format. Not only that, it finds movies on any folder on my network, including my DNS-323 (NAS), and streams them w/o any problems.
I wish my Galaxy S could do the same!
I have one of those Archos 32 but the screen broke and I can no longer use it. But hopefully we\ll eventually have Archos media player app on every Androidphone

Hello, I am new to the forum and the whole head units things, but I had the same issue as you mention. Only worked on default music player, but not others. I downloaded the app RK3066 (available in the app store - can't post outside links, sorry) and it fixed my issue. I have a Klyde unit with the RK3066, from Pumpkin.
When I installed RK3066 I also installed XposedMTC. I'm not sure if it is required to make the steering wheel controls work but these 2 apps made a huge difference on my head unit.

Hi Fordriver1, may I know which app did you install, was it RK3066 or XposedMTC or both?.
Thanks.
Hello all im after a simple question answered if its at all possible and maybe a little direction on how its acheived.
I have an old galaxy s4 GT-i9505 with a broken screen running as a makeshift android tv.
Its plugged directly into a TV through mhl and serves its purpose very well.
Its mainly used for Netflix/Kodi or any other Tv catchup type app.
Its currently being controlled a number of ways, mainly with a amazon firestick Bluetooth remote, (s4 runs much better than a stick BTW) but certain apps (Netflix, various tv apps) dont recognise the centre button.
However this isnt an issue as I have different methods to control apps that dont use my remote too well (droidmote).
What my main question is, when installing an app say Netflix on an android phone how can I get the app to think its being installed onto an android tv device like FireTV,firestick,nexus, or any generic android tv box?
Is there a way to modify my rom to enable fooling detection of Android tv?
If this is not possible is there any android tv rom I might be able to use on the gt-i9505?
Last question Id like answered, is there anyway I can map the buttons on my Bluetooth remote to ger the centre button working?
I would be very grateful if any devs who may read this help out by letting me know if any of this is possible, ive exhausted Google search but came up with nothing.
Thanks alot.
Just to add to this, am I able to use gapps for Android tv? Or should I use the micro option?
Again really appreciate any help or pointers.

Please help.
Hello guys! We just bought this Philips TV and was not aware it is using this Saphi OS instead of the Android OS we usually find on Android TVs. I have some questions about this TV.
1.) Any users of the OS that have find several key apps that works well with the TV? (e.g. Netflix, Youtube and other useful apps)
2.) Do you know if this OS was just recently implemented and hopefully get better even if it is intended for entry level TVs? The firmware on my TV was made on June 2019 even if it is just built on Android 6.0.
There's no option on exchanging the TV and since most users are not tech savvy, I'm focused more on using it to its full potential.
Same Prob
Same here. We just bought the same tv yesterday and we were told it was an android tv. Netflix was installed manually from a usb flashdrive and youtube. Youtube was working but Im having an error in the Netflix.
I hope there's a fix on this. The TV is great, but we need netflix.
Hi,
what is the exact version of the firmware... can you check the customer service menu? press 123654 in TV mode... you can flip pages by up/down...

Sir, this is the specs of the TV
Android Version: 6.0
Software Version: V1.0.5
Model 40PFT5883/71
UI: Philips One UX
Saphi OS to Android TV would be amazing. I'd rather pay for development of such cfw/rom then buying extra device like Chromecast/TV box. Saphi OS is very non user friendly, video player is powerful but with very limited options with subtitles (no load option), apps are limited and few.
