My review Tronsmart ARA x5 PLUS
Here is the release of the New ARA X5 Plus Cherry Trail z8300 2/32 GB
Much the same Spec as previous model with a few improvements
Obvious is the external Wifi Antenna.
Feels a little heaver than previous model more on this later.
At first switch on, Windows 10 location login and pretty quick
A few other settings to be setup, asked for wifi connections done.
A bit of an online update reboot and we are in Windows 10.
So a few more updates and install some apps wifi speed 5g good.
Ara X5 plus seems snappy no lag at present, while doing first scan with Defender,
Windows update while installing other apps performing well for a 2/32 GB unit.
While typing and sorting out images the Unit has done the updated.
Being windows 10 all will be pretty much the same a few torture test later to see any improvements.
Ok let's get inside and have a look see.
So we now have the PCB sandwiched between 2 pieces of alloy block that will be great as you can see by post 1 (forgot to take a new one)
Also an extra block on the underside to the cutout base area of CPU excellent this will keep it thermally maintained.
You can see the Wifi is a plugin module and we have the External and Internal so coverage is improved and good.
Also removal of the tin lid, Heat sink has good direct contact to CPU with thermal Pad
Note sure the rating of the Pink Thermal may alter at a later date if required
We have the new improved Battery ? And also a Reset Button yet to see if it does good or bad.
Look at the OS system.
Previous Model Tronsmart ARA X5 ram Test
Tronsmart ARA X5 PLUS Tests
As you can see by the Stress test, the idle is around the 50c jumps up to 75c and pretty much sits there without complaining to much.
You will also note that Ram Speed is much improved over the previous model
Previous Model had a Bench test of around 570 so a little improvement has to be good.
Current Free space after doing all updates and removing old version etc 1115 as of the 2nd March easy up date.

On hdmi we can have only 2.0 sound!!
With 10bit, [email protected] there is no way. only software decoding to 1080 works with low bitrate, but now way to get 4K 10bit.
How do you get the micro SD card to stay inserted in the Tronsmart ARA X5 Plus ? It beats me...
and the reson for the new BIOS update ?

Support automaticly frame switch
Support pass-through 7.1c
The quad core Cortex A53 CPU combined with the new Mali T820 MP3 GPU (up to 4 sharder cores, 40% improvement from Mali-T622) will offer enough processing power for 4KP60 and H.265/VP9.
Gigabit Ethernet, SATA and USB 3.0 are all useful when playing files with higher bitrates (H.265/4k2k are to be even more popular in 2016).
While there’s no mention about HD audio on the current specs sheet, we do saw that Widevine, Playready, Verimatrix will be supported.
Realtek RTD1295 will find it’s why not only on TV boxes but also on OpenWRT routers and next generation NAS devices.
That makes sense, as NAS devices evolved as well to become full-fledget media centers and might benefit from Realtek 1295A’s video encoding and decoding power.
Don’t be surprised if you will see Western Digital, Buffalo or Qnap NAS devices powered by Realtek RTD1295 one year from now.

A bit late in the day, but has anyone managed to install TWRP on the Zidoo X9S
Mukhranski said:

No.
Not yet
I managed to get a custom kernel compiled and OpenSUSE running on my Zidoo x8, which uses the same chipset as the x9s. It's based on the Banana Pi W2 kernel:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-W2-bsp
There's still tons of issues with it...but thinking they're mostly related to the device tree (the Banana Pi's differs quite a bit from the one included with the Zidoo firmware.)
And just a note, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to kernel development/debugging, so it may take a while to track down. Once I figure out how to get the kernel and initrd correctly flashed without using serial, I'll post images and the updated kernel source. It'll be slow going though...doing most of this during my very limited free time.
If anyone is able to help out on the kernel/dts side, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Amlogic S905 Quad core 64bit Cortex-A53 Up to 2.0GHz 2.Penta-core Mali-450MP GPU @ 750MHz
DDR3 RAM 2GB,eMMC 16GB
Android 5.1 OS Lollipop

Update Zoomtak T8V Amlogic S905
Looking Good
So after having a good fiddle with the Zoomtak T8V Amlogic s905.
It's a good worker showing no signs of fuss or bother no matter what I throw at it.
Let's have a look at what's going on in the inside of this Media Player please note the extra cooling that is not there,
This unit had no heatsink Nothing and runs very well CPU is warm to Hot to touch but does not appear to suffer, some magic trickery, or good software unsure still testing.
The Scores above (for what they are worth) point to a a CPU that is clocked enough to do a job without melting or causing grief.
The Price as you will find is way up there, not 100% if its fully justified,
In saying that paying for what you get performance wise may seem true.
As flash As the LCD may look only the time Shows
Not a Huge deal and most would not go this far and pull it down,
Nice to see brass push in threaded nuts none of this Self tapper screws into plastic posts
Remote with many functions, I normally I use the Logitech K400
More on the Zoomtak TV8
The Zoomtak T8V is using a Fancy Mbox interface that looks Good and a little different
The Remote fairly easy to use from some distance so that is also a bonus.
Start up easy, asks for Language then screen adjust with remote for size, Internet settings and done
Few Snaps of what's running in the Zoomtak T8V Media player.
Interesting me about the Zoomtak TV8 was the lack of a Heat sink. Note the temperature of the box was pretty (top centre of images) Mild except with the Stress Test and then it was in the 70c and that's ok sorta.
Some Media players I have seen go over 100c plus and idle is in the 50c plus, so there is something a little different and using the IR Thermometer ( 10~15c cooler) are also low so this is one cool device.
I often think how accurate the software temperature indication is, Normally if its HOT its Hot this software maybe over exaggerated a little I feel..
Excellent Media Player and performing very well.

Onda V820w CH DualOS - Win 10/Android 5.1 - Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 tablet Review

The Onda V820w CH DualOS is an 8-inch, dual boot tablet PC, that runs both Windows 10 (64 bit) and Android 5.1 Lollipop. The “CH” in this model's name denotes a Cherry Trail Atom Z8300, Intel's latest 14nm, low power SoC processor. There are other Onda tablets with similar names, but the majority of them have the older 22nm Intel Bay Trail processors. Most are either single OS Windows 10 models, or have Android 4.4 Kit Kat as their second operating system.

I have been testing this tablet for over a week, and it works incredibly well. The 8” IPS screen touch screen is very responsive, and has a resolution of 1280x800 pixels (WXGA). While 160dpi isn't “retina” level resolution, pictures and text, appear sharp and colorful. I have read some older reviews for Onda V820w variants complaining about the dull screen. The company must have upgraded the original panel, because the unit I received is bright, colorful and looks great off-angle. The capacitive touch screen supports 10 point multi-touch.
Movies can be played in high definition, and the Cherry Trail's 8th generation Intel integrated HD Graphics supports DirectX 11.2 and a second display using MicroHDMI. The GPU is roughly 40% faster than the 7th generation HD Graphics (Bay Trail) and can handle many Windows video games. The GPU also supports 4K/H.265 video acceleration.
The System on Chip (SoC) Intel x5-Z8300 processor is the slowest of the Cherry Trail family, but it ranked towards the top of the 2015 heap, and still provides plenty of power for a tablet. I ran the AnTuTu benchmark app under Android and received a composite score of 59,241.
The tablet's audio capabilities are sufficient for normal, everyday use. The small, mono speaker located on the lower rear of the case will not fill a room with sound, but provides acceptable dynamic range and loudness to watch a short video or understand human speech without sounding strange or tinny. Watching a full-length movie or playing music really requires use of the headphone jack or a Bluetooth audio solution.
The downside of having a DualOS system is the need to divide the 32GB eMMC ROM into multiple partitions. The Android system is left with only 4GB for its OS and apps. The Windows 10 partition winds up with around 21GB of storage. The remaining 7GB of space is taken up with multiple recovery partitions for both OS environments. File storage can be easily augmented by adding a MicroSD card, but this won't help much with Android app space that can be easily overloaded. The Android OS is available for applications that aren't offered in the Windows 10 store, otherwise most users will consider Windows their primary operating system.
Using Windows 10 on the tablet is fairly simple. While using the standard desktop, there is a keyboard icon on the taskbar for typing and data entry. Alternatively, “Tablet Mode” may be selected, which switches to The Windows 10 Tile UI, and the keyboard is automatically popped up as required. One huge benefits of using Windows 10, instead of Android, is the ability to share files and printers with other PC's on a home or office network. Microsoft has left enough networking options in Windows 10 home that anyone should be able to setup a workable and secure network.
The Onda V820w CH DualOS weighs 335g, or just under 12oz. The case is all plastic, with a concentric circle “fingerprint” pattern on the back cover to reduce slippage. There is a flush “Windows” button along the lower edge that serves double duty as the Home Screen button in Android. Along the top right side are the on/off button and volume rocker. The upper left side contains the TF card slot. The top edge has the Micro USB, Micro HDMI and 3.5mm headphone jacks.
The are 1.9MP cameras at the top, front and back. These is no flash LED on either side, and the cameras work best in well lit situations. Unfortunately, there is no provision for using the camera modules to automatically control screen dimming.
The WiFi is provided by a 2.4GHz Broadcom SDIO 802.11bgn chip. The SDIO interface limits maximum speeds to 100 mbps. Bluetooth 4.0 is included as well.
The only other electronic feature is a motion/gravity sensor that allows automatic screen rotation. There is no GPS, or even WiPS/WFPS location functionality. Any applications that require location must settle for manually entered zip codes or addresses.
Overall, the Onda V820w CH DualOS is a great value. It out performs most Chinese MediaTek based Android tablets around the same price point, and offers dual OS versatility.
Gearbest is currently offering the Onda V820w CH DualOS for $82.36 with free shipping

Good performer, working well, WiFi and Ethernet good connection.
After an Update the SCISHION V99 Magic, Amlogic S912 2/16, Dual WiFI, Gig Lan BT4 how now become very usable indeed.
Original firmware dated way back in September was not polished,with newer firmware dated late October things moving along.
Running the V99 for a few hours after update no Major problems or issues, Heat no Melt Down Temps Mid to Hi 60c when pushed.
Found that both WiFi, Ethernet speeds good at this location, and overall performance was on track for this Breed of Media Player.

SCISHION V99 Magic
Guys, can anybody help me out in giving me a link to upgrade my SCISHION V99 Magic S912 (3Gb-32Gb)...mine got android 6 in it, since I bought through AliE...somehow, mine working pretty sluggish especially with Kodi and I have another box with S905 chip in it and that is working fine & smooth compare to this box. A stabil Android 7 & above firmwares would be great.
Oh another thing is, I always install either Top TV Launcher 2 or SquareHome Launcher (those are my favourites & very customizable also, android tv efficient when using remote or mouse). Is there probability that there is a compatibilty issue with factory installed launcher? Although, from my trial & error effort of trying many different launchers, I have found that those 2 probably the best launcher to have in the TV Box.
Any response will be much appreciate. Thanks, guyz/girlz...
Check out my s912 android 9, Very Stable & Fast as based on official Mi Box Firmware
Does anybody have stock rom for this box...or other firmwares,android 7.1.2 would be great...thanks...
