Hi all just found this At Kogan.com.au
>> Kogan.com/au/buy/39-agora-smart-led-tv-full-hd-usb-input-pvr-digital-tuner-presale-special <<
Android ics, PVR, 1080p and a good list of playback formats as well.
CPU=Cortex A9 1.0GHz
GPU=Mali400
RAM=512MB
RAM Type=DDR2
Internal Storage= 4Gb
Wonder what could be done as far as. customisation, Root, Roms (unlikely) but would be cool.
What do you guys think how could you see customisation on a tv like this? or what rom would you have if you could choose?
and could modding on these type of devices catch on?
Thank you for your time

I managed to root mine, it wasn't difficult.
The Android board seems to be one designed for a settop box (as you would expect), but has modifications to make it suitable for running from within a TV rather than as a separate unit.
The hardware appears to be made by CVT Electronics in China. I don't see any settop boxes available through them that have similar hardware, so I would expect that they have been built for this purpose, but CVT are leaving themselves (left themselves) open to using is as a standalone box motherboard, but have been modified for this use in a Kogan TV by some third party.
The busybox installed in their ROM is a custom version in /system/xbin If you root it, don't replace the busybox. It's likely no standard builds will have the feature set required by this ROM.
The specs look like a regular f16ref board, but I would prefer to be certain before attempting to install a f16ref ROM.
Also, it seems that there should be a remote control config file in /system/etc that should be copied beforehand so it can be reinstalled on a replacement ROM - I have not checked on this.
More soon.

DITTO - anyone have further process/luck/info on rooting and modding the Kogan Smart TV's?
(FYI - the current 2014 July 42" seems to be the same as a Teac Smart 42")
i managed to run a launcher changer - but it wasnt TV based and couldnt do much....
I'm not that switched on for Android hacking i'm afraid....
I have accidentally bricked my 32" kogan tv when trying to root it. Any suggestions as to what can be tried?

Hello,
Looking for a Dev to help me make it compatible to G-Shock + application with all Android phones.
Indeed, it can only be installed on a S4.
I bought a Casio GB X6900B, but the application is not compatible with my Htc Butterfly S.
Here the application extracted from a S4.
Thank you in advance because it is very very urgent ..
G-Shock application from a S4.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3w1sqxo031av1m8/G-SHOCK+_1.0(0912A).apk
Anyone? Any update?
A developer I know is trying to find a solution, but according to him, the application is complicated to change.
It would be cool if a developer Xda could help.:crying:

Can someone help with this? Please...
I tried to hack but without success. I'm not a developer and this is beyond my skills. It should also inject bluetooth modules for this to work.
I have the same problem. I get the new GB6900B and It doesnt work with my Note 2 with 4.3
Hope we can use it soon!
Any news??
Yesterday I tried to change the build.prop without luck!!!
s4 mini
hi guys, i'm on a s4 mini here. also hanging out for the watch to work..
looks like we need someone who is a developer to port the s4 stuff onto the rest of the phones out there..
anyone that does it, gets a free beer from me
I update my Htc Butterfly S Android 4.3. Casio is now recognized as the key chain Htc Fetch, that means I can ring the watch via my phone. Things are changing slowly. Developer damage that does not come here.

this sounds like what actually needs to be done is for casio to write an app that will support most phones.. is it not logical that once they do this, they will sell more of their watch because people with these phones will also want their watch? why are they limiting their own market so much? i don't understand the logic behind it all, because it just sounds like they need to build a simple app that will inject whatever modules and settings any android system (w bt 4.0) can use to pair with this watch..
what's goin' on casio?
I investigated a lot about this in the last days.
Right now the only phone compatible with the watch is Samsung Galaxy S4 that's because util a few months ago it was the only phone with support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Samsung did a few changes in the OS to support it but uses a Samsung API. That situation change when google released Android 4.3 with native support of BLE. Now Android have native support and commond API to connect to BLE devices.
Casio had to update the current application to adapt to the new API because at the end of October Samsung Galaxy S4 will update to Android 4.3 and the current G-Shock application will not work (because it'll use the new Android API).
I guess Casio will take advantage to update the application and make it compatible with all handsets with Android 4.3
I hope I have helped you understand the situation.
that's good news!

so to summarise what you are saying:
my s4 mini and other peoples phones that run android 4.3 will have no problem working with this watch once casio updates g-shock+ ?

Yes that's right. When Casio update the app it should be compatible with all 4.3 devices... Unless Casio invent some stupid restriction beyond the technical capabilities of the devices.
Would have no much sense since the main interested in making compatible the watches with the maximum number of devices is Casio.

Great info for me. I'm surveying this kind stuff for my phone! Thanks a lot!
The application is already updated to the iPhone 5S and 5C. I do not understand why Casio does not update for all Android 4.3 phones.
I sent an email to the support of Casio and I expect the answer.
It would be cool if you did the same.

Casio is very very very bad.
I bought two rootable FireTVs the day after xmas at Staples, and promptly rooted one. The other is safely tucked away in my *doomsday bunker* still sealed, waiting for armageddon.
During the rooting process I determined that I lack the attention span / ambition to install the necessary boot menu / rom manager and manually update the firmware in order to have an up-to-date stb. So, my question is twofold:
1) If I re-enable updates and remove the dns blocking, will my aftv gracefully update itself? I've already uninstalled SuperSU as I don't believe I need it.
2) Assuming the box is running the latest official rom, will the following (sideloaded) apps still work?
MXPlayer
FiredTv
DirecTV App
Android Terminal Emulator
I have also built my own simple smb folder navigation app, so obviously the ability to run apps from unknown sources is needed also. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's available on all FireOS versions.
I guess I have low standards, but this is really all I need for the box to be useful to me. I absolutely love the thing, save for the fact that the DirecTV App doesn't like the android version presumably because I never applied any updates.

Be careful with the doomsday bunker firetv. If that is Series 2 in serial, you may not be able to root it. If its series 3. Ex (70900305 or 303) then you can do the Ethernet trick and root it. I'd say remove that out, root it as soon as possible and put it back in the safe. I've done just that.
Now to answer your question. I doubt you need root for what you are doing but someone else may clarify. I highly recommend keep and follow up with root. Android Rom is around the corner and features like quick support for remote desktop etc have immense benefits.

Not sure how much more careful I can be with it than setting on a shelf above my bourbon collection.
But seriously, its serial starts w/ 70900201XXXXX, are you saying its too old of firmware? If so, it sounds to me like I should let it update and put the rooted one on the shelf.

I'm not sure we're on the same page w/ this. I'm very much wanting to "set it and forget it". Periodically flashing roms seems to me like the polar opposite. Reminds me of the good old days of the h-card. Life is too short to run in that exercise wheel again.

Agreed with your point of view, but for my needs, I primarily need root as I use Kodi all the time. I also use quick support for remote support for my family and friends so that wouldn't work without root. Once you've got it setup with root, it stays there unless you mess it up or forgot the block or disable step. I've made a total of 22 firetv's and not one has gotten updated after I've disabled the com update.
As for the Series 2, If you try to update, it will take you to the latest version of the firmware. In old days, it would increment one. Secondly, you cannot do the removal of the Ethernet trick to make it think there is no update. If you block the updates, it will give you an error but will enforce the update. Last week, I had to make 3 firetv's for family. I had a combination of series 2 and 3. I couldn't do any of the 2's. All 3's so far were good.
The good news is that bestbuy versions are mostly series 3. The downside to series 3 is that you have to downgrade first and then go up.
Sounds like I was on base w/ the notion of letting my untouched box update and benching the rooted one until I know how my needs are served w/o superuser.
I've toyed with xbmc since well, the days when my I had to fight my kids to use their original xboxes. While I can't scoff at the quality and sheer amount of work that's been put into it, for my tastes it's always come across as an application consisting of a ton of fluff, a pound of functionality, and a half ounce of useability. I just want to watch movies. It shouldnt take 7 button presses to get to them. :-/
Hi Guys,
So I have had for a while an Nexus 7 (Gen1) running in my car as a full infotainment system, and overall it works very well indeed (it has its quirks, but what doesnt!)
Anyway, with the coming changes in UK law doubling penalties and fines for anyone caught handling a phone, I wondered if MirrorLink could be a "workaround", in the sense of allowing basic phone integration without using the phone!
Anyway, I know some head units come "with MirrorLink" - the question is, can I make an android tablet come "with MirrorLink" so I can then use mirrorlink through my N7 and control my phone?
EDIT: ALSO I have just been reading on Android Auto - is there a receiver app for this as well?
EDIT 2: OK so I have found "Head Unit Reloaded" as an option for working with Android Auto, now I just need to find a way to make the tablet "Mirrorlink" receiver...
The tablet is fully rooted and runs TIMUR's USB ROM OS.
Did you find any way out for doing this ???

Unfortunately not. I just had to use a variety of different apps to get it working as close as reasonable.

Mirrorlink is 10x dumber than Android Auto.
For a ML-like app search EasyConnect. It's the app that comes with all chinese Android units and allows for full mirroring of the phone.
There are also a number of Android-based alternatives like using Miracast.
However, in terms of driving safety AA is way better than any screen mirroring.
Hi, I am new here. Please bear with me
My present device (Samsung j5 / 2017 model) was damaged and now want to buy a better device - looking at OP5T.
Want to know if this OP5T really supports ANT+ without any hasle? I am reading on the forums - many users experiencing issus such as - a) going into flight mode for using ANT+ b) factory reset c) downloading a set of apps to make it work with ANT+ etc. I am not good at tech things, just a simple user of phone. Can't go around showrooms or find solutions/ experimenting to make it work
A physical trainer by profession, so need this feature badly. Samsung J5 worked like a charm, even from the inception, never had any trouble. I never had to reset that handset; it got crushed accidently when I dropped one of the heavy dumbels. So, now have to buy a new one.
Please advice if OP5T works out of the box, without any hasle?
Thanks for your time in advnce ; Regards

Hi,
I'm using OP 5T with rooted stock OOS 5.1.1 and ANT+ works like a charm for me using IpSensorMan. You have to install the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service from Play Store to make it work. I haven't had any issues, but haven't used it very much either
Hi LasseHoej,
thanks for your positive response. however, I am not really tech guy. How to install this root stocked OS? and how to install IpSensorMen? I know how to install from google playstore. Is it possible to put up a youtube video how to do this? That will be a big help, i know it will be burden on you, but really looking forward to it.
Thanks in advance

Hi again,
You don't need a rooted OS, it should work just fine as your phone is now. IpSensorMan is an app using ANT+. So it's actually just the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service, you need to install from Play Store.
