Thank you for the link. Much appreciated and I will test this out as soon as i get the chance on my i5.

in my configuration it doesn't work. I have an asrock mainboard with an AMD 350e and uefi bios. the installation works fine but the uefi bios don't see any uefi operating system. if i run aTV after the installatione instead of reboot, it seems to start (two circles that move) but after that the screen goes black and it never starts.

I don't understand, my mainboard has vga + dvi + hdmi ports. I have tested the vga and the hdmi port, after the circles I don't see nothing. But the problem is also that uefi bios don't see any operating system after the installation. Ubuntu installation with grub uefi works fine.

Make 2 partitions on your hard Drive
1 partition 1g with fat32 is boot files (sda1) name it UEFI
1 partition the rest of your hard Drive to system and ext4 (sda2) name it ANDROID
When you install Android TV choose your ext4 partition to install (sda2) and choose yes to uefi grub and yes to format boot partition (sda1) then install system as read/write.

I did exactly what you wrote, many times, but Bios don't see any operating system. Anyway, I managed to start aTV by installing grub through ubuntu and creating a new line for android. The kernel starts, I see some circles that move for a few seconds, after which the screen turns black and nothing happens. The same thing happens if at the end of the installation I choose "run android" instead of "reboot the system". With ctrl+alt+f1 I can enter in a shell, but I don't know what to do.
thanks for reply

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to get the windows adb drivers installed. I was trying to update drivers for "Shield Android TV" and get the message "the folder you specify doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 based systems"
I'm not coming up with any unknown devices or any devices with an exclamation point in device manager.

What is the benefit of this over just putting the apps onto a USB drive?

Download and have a play. Hopefully will answer your own question
Its more than just an app sideloader from the comfort of your chair. It has many additional functions and will grow over time.
Currently to get you started:
Sideload apps directly from PC without having to transfer to USB.
Uninstall apps remotely from PC
Extract apk files remotely from PC
Take Screenshots and transfer to PC directly
Take Video and transfer to PC directly
Turn On or put device to Sleep from PC
Customise your Kodi
Backup and restore your Kodi settings
Virtual Keyboard and remote from PC
Update - I got the ADB drivers installed. I downloaded then from nvidia. Google "SHIELD Family Windows USB Driver" and it's the 3rd result down. Update - I got the ADB drivers installed.

Do you have to use adb with this app or do you use it just to help sideload a apk via a usb cable to the NVS console tv?

You need the ADB USB Windows drivers installed on your PC if you want to connect via the cable.
Until NVidia decides to turn ADB over Network you will manually need to do this with a USB cable so you can run the app over your network without a USB cable attached.

Thanks for that. I added the generic Drivers in my app that work fine, but good to know they have their own.
Would be good to find a user guide somewhere how to download and install them on the PC.... I've been asked a few times but can't find the time... I will try and do a nice user giude when I can.
That would be very nice and helpful.
thanks

Hi its currently only a guide on which box your requested to connect to... ADB is limited on what it reports back when it connects. I am working on a solution.
If you click on the connected status at the bottom it will popup a box with the current status
or
If you select "Normal debug mode" in settings then click "Connect via IP" from "File" menu. A cmd window will open and report of any issues if not connected.
This looks like an awesome tool for the Shield Tv. I'll definitely check it out once my shield arrives later today. I see you have a Kodi configuration section in the tool, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add this feature in to change the Kodi data directory. I can see this being very useful for owners of the 16GB model.
Also for reference they are discussing this is the Kodi forum here

You may lose sound when enable my rgb fix on my kernel only (disconnect the hdmi cable and connect it again to solve it or change source on your tv)
On 1º boot when you setup in english language the on screen keyboard may not show when you going to put you wifi password, to fix it go back and change to another language and then go right back again to english and the on screen keyboard should be working now(you need to click it): YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE AND ONLY IN ENGLISH!
Only update "su" if you are going to to stay at root if are not going to stay at root and you are going to be doing a lot of changes between the two dont update it! Or you will get a boot animation loop...
Ugoos Firefly it needs ugoos kernel so dont turn it on because it wont work...

I do like this. Does it come with the clear case in the photos on his website? What version of android is being developed for it? I see Ubuntu listed as well.... THAT is awesome since thats my OS of choice for my home server. This tiny thing is likely MUCH faster and more power efficient than my Core2Duo micro server.
What OS does it ship with or do you just download and flash?
Thanks!
I just purchased a similar spec android TV box which is what brought me to this thread. I wish I'd have seen this first. Oh well, the price is right
How possible is it to connect this to a VGA monitor?
TWRP on Khadas VIM?
Hi, I got my Vim a few days ago, with a pure Android ROM (already rooted) from 03. March 2017 This version isn't listed in the available ROMs on Khadas docs. So I wanted to backup the whole thing before I flash other roms. Since I use TWRP on other Android devices, I'd like to be able to use it here as well. I read about TWRP 3.0.2 for the Probox2 Air (http://forum.khadas.com/t/backup-restore/137/3), and tried the official TWRP app to flash this recovery. But later it did stuck during boot into recovery, just displaying the letters "VIM". After I booted nomally without issues, I used the TWRP app again to re-flash the backupped original recovery, which did work.
I guess I could use the USB burning tool to flash TWRP via PC, (http://docs.khadas.com/bootcamp/UpgradeViaUSBCable/), but I read also about booting from a SD card with an .img-file there. I think this would not change my current system before I can back it up totally. But I can't find any (detailed) infos how to do this. Any help with TWRP on Android 6 would be highly appreciated.
Cheers, Stefan

- There are problems with FM radio. You can listen to either stereo at a fixed volume, or mono, but with a working controller. We need to fix the mixer_paths file.
Probably don't work/work inproperly. Need testing:
- Screen Mirroring
- MHL
- Wi-Fi Direct
- Usb tethering
- Portable wi-fi hotspot
- Bluetooth tethering
- MMS
- Android wear/Bracelet
- Perhaps SIM with PIN causes reboot
- Perhaps problems with sending/receiving some SMS

Don't know if you saw posts on other M-ROM threads, but there was a strange issue in 2.3 and 2.3
1, where the rom wouldn't boot without SuperSU. No matter if you flashed original unmodified boot img or if you tried to flash different superuser, always bootloop, unless SuperSU modified boot img was there. Personally I don't like SuperSU, and I felt a little sketchy that it was like that...
Is SuperSU included in Aroma, and did you test without it, and confirm that it boots? Thanks
Also I'm on Z3c mainly now. Any chance of a Z3c version?
Can't DL on yandisk pls mirror it

I didn't read those threads, version 2.4 is the first one, where there is support for z1c.
I confirm that we have bootloops without SuperSU or with another root manager.
Have you tried install another version of supersu?
P.S.: I will try make z3c version, but probably some things can not be done, because I do not have z3c.

This was to be expected. Double-tap is not possible at the hardware level. Apparently the author was simply too lazy to remove the item from the menu.

Hey! I really like this rom, I've been waiting for a rom like this. The only thing is not working(at least for me) the sim card.The phone boots up(btw for me the boot logo,not the animation, is messed up.) It boots, and then asks for the sim card pin. After I write in ,it freezes, and it restarts. (it doesn't even put me in the setup guide)Without the SIM card, the rom is working perfectly fine. Please help! I really like that rom!

In which country do you use the phone?
Hi. I installed [M-ROM] [7.1] v2.4.0 [amami] [Nougat 7.1.2] and I'm testing the third day. I really like the software, as if I got a new phone, for which I thank you very much. There are small bugs, they are not very significant, except for one: when connected to a computer via a USB cable, it does not see it. Charged, yes. Only the phone memory is visible if the phone is switched to TWRT?! Also there are no themes installed. In terms of productivity, ANTUTU is gaining 53.535?

Droidian is a GNU/Linux distribution based on top of Mobian, a Debian-based distribution for mobile devices. The goal of Droidian is to be able to run Mobian on Android phones.
This is accomplished by using well-known technologies such as libhybris and Halium.​Carefully read the whole post before jumping to installation.​They are important to give you the best idea of the current state of the OS.​
What is working:​- Alarm Clock (bullseye/stable only. Doesn't work on bookworm/nightly)
- Manual brightness
- Vibration
- Carrier info, signal strength
- Data connection (read bugs section)
- Incoming, outgoing calls
- SMS in, out
- Change audio routing
- Voice in calls
- Volume control in calls
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- Proximity
- Rotation
- Touchscreen
- Earphones
- Headphones
- Loudspeaker
- Microphone
- Volume control
- Pin unlock
- Waydroid
- Wireguard
What doesn't work:​- Most of the things not mentioned above.
Bugs:​- RIL gets broken after switching airplane mode or modem off/on. Fixed after a reboot.
- Mobile data stops working after making or receiving calls. Toggle mobile data on and off from the settings app.
- Mobile data doesn't work in the first 2-3 minutes after reboots. Toggle mobile data on and off from the settings app after waiting a while to get it working.
- Droidian has no power management yet so you're left with only the 5020mAh battery which can last up to 6 hours without heavy usage.
Installation:​
Make a backup now, as your device will be wiped.

Click to collapse
Download the needed files and tools
Droidian rootfs (specific build required)
Android 10 (Q) stock firmware
Latest TWRP recovery
Adaptation (unofficial)
Device preparation
A USB 2.0 port/hub with an actual USB 2.0 controller is recommended (Using fastboot on a USB 3.0 port may cause errors with some Xiaomi devices)
Save your APN (Android)
The Access Point Name or APN can be found in the Settings menu of Android
Take a piece of paper or a text editor, and write down everything that you see on that screen
These are likely to include a URL (e. g., internet.carrier.net), a username, and possibly a password
Unlock the bootloader (Computer)
Refer to the instructions provided by the device manufacturer
Other useful sources include the LineageOS wiki and xda-developers
Boot into recovery (Computer)
Boot TWRP by running fastboot boot twrp-VERSION-miatoll.img
Wipe the device (TWRP)
Go to the Wipe menu
Select Advanced wipe
Tick the boxes called Dalvik / ART cache, Cache, System, Vendor, Data
Swipe to Wipe
Go back to the previous menu
Choose Format data and type yes
Go back to the main menu and select Reboot
Choose Bootloader
Boot TWRP again by running fastboot boot twrp-VERSION-miatoll.img
Copy the files to the device (Computer)
When TWRP is booted, open the device’s Internal storage from your computer
Copy all of the files you downloaded to this folder
Droidian installation (TWRP)
Install recovery
Install the file called twrp-VERSION-miatoll.img as an Image to the Recovery partition
Install Droidian rootfs
Install the file called droidian-rootfs-arm64_YYYYMMDD.zip as a Zip file
Alternatively, you can enter ADB sideload mode and run adb sideload droidian-rootfs-arm64_YYYYMMDD.zip
Installation is optional for stable releases, but it is recommended, because it helps with debugging
Finalizing the installation
Install adaptation package as a flashable zip (TWRP)
Install the file called adaptation-droidian-miatoll.zip as a Zip file
Alternatively, you can enter ADB sideload mode and run adb sideload adaptation-droidian-miatoll.zip
Boot your device
Go to the Reboot menu and choose System
TWRP might complain that there is no OS installed, but that’s fine
The first boot may take longer, and at least one spontaneous reboot is expected during the process
You should be greeted with the lock screen, the default password is 1234
Congratulations, if everything went well, now you should be running Droidian.
Notes:
Recovery
Use the recovery linked at the start of this page. The installation might fail with other recoveries that the one mentioned above.
Default password
The default password is 1234.
Apn
Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names.
Broken mobile data after calls
Data connection might break after receiving and making calls. Switch it off and on from Settings -> Mobile Network to fix it. Be careful to not turn off the mobile modem or a device restart might be required.
Broken calls
Switching airplane mode on and off or switching the mobile modem off and on from the Quick Settings or the Settings App will break calls. If that’s the case reboot the phone to fix it.
Out of storage
By default when flashing Droidian it allocates 8GB of memory to the system. This might not be enough and luckily you can allocate more storage with ADB by running (while in recovery): adb shell e2fsck -fy /data/rootfs.img and adb shell resize2fs -f /data/rootfs.img xG where x is the amount of GB to allocate (eg: 50G for 50 GB).
Status
Droidian GSIs are experimental! Bugs and missing features are expected.
SSH access
Connect your phone to your computer and type ssh [email protected], the password is 1234 (on Windows, you may need PuTTY)
Applications
You can find a list of mobile-friendly Linux applications at LinuxPhoneApps

Announcement/Update ~ Droidian
Support for Droidian Bullseye has been discontinued. Droidian Bookworm has become more stable while the old Bullseye version hasn't received any updates from the devs since December 2021.
Users that are still on Bullseye are recommended to backup their data and install the Bookworm version for Droidian by following the new instructions located at https://devices.droidian.org/devices/miatoll/
For already Bookworm users:
Until now we've used the same ramdisk Ubuntu Touch uses because Droidian had no dynamic partition support. That has been changed on the previous days and a new adaptation package has been created to update the old ramdisk we used.
I've disabled the old miatoll ppa repository so the kernel won't get updated since it will "wipe" all the data and modifications.
To continue to receive kernel updates add the new miatoll ppa repository:
Your data and system changes will be cleared but will remain in /userdata/rootfs-overlay which will no longer be used after updating to the latest kernel as all the changes are now written into the Droidian rootfs.
Bash:
sudo curl -# --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -Sf https://miatoll-linux.github.io/repo/miatoll.gpg --output /usr/share/keyrings/miatoll.gpg && \
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/miatoll.gpg] https://miatoll-linux.github.io/repo/ bookworm main" > ~/miatoll.list && \
sudo mv ~/miatoll.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/miatoll.list && \
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Thanks for the new Rom!
Can you reduce installation step. Currently it's too lengthy to follow.
Amazing work man! But I would be surprised if anyone would be even able to flash it. Recently I uploaded a ROM with a fully automated installer and even that was too complicated for many people so I already feel sorry for this thread and You the Dev.
Other than that. Thank You soooo much for this <3. I can't wait to flash it!

Not to go off topic but that's one of the reasons I stopped making Roms on XDA and instead keep them for myself lol.
Anyways OP, Amazing to see people working on Debian based Roms for our device. Will definitely be checking this out sometime this week!

Unfortunately I can't. The recoveries we have available for our phones are not able to mount the raw img file (rootfs.img) so sideloading the devtools and the adaptation package is not possible so we have to manually fix the mount via losetup and make the extraction of the packages above ourselves.
Probably everything will be fixed when we're going to get a fully working and stable recovery.
hi! what is it the current situation of battery drain, i really want to give a try

RetroArch UWP (ARM) Release - [N64, ScummVM...]

Hi,
I would like to share with you this release of RetroArch for ARM devices
Over 70 Core successfully compiled and tested on low end device,
Including N64 core with GPU render (Which is very rare)
Version: 1.15.5
Platforms:
Any Windows on ARM (with UWP Support)
Window 10 Mobile (More details? ask here)
Lowest Build: 15035+ (14393 with few cores)
This release contains the latest ANGLE library (by Google) that used to make OpenGL ES supported
Also I made many improvements for UWP functions,
and reverted back the incompatible functions for the lower builds.
Download: Get it from Here​
WindowsRT?
Recently I discovered that RetroArch (UWP) required DirectX feature level 11.x
and this was probably cause crash on WinRT,
so please use release marked with `GL` if `D3D` crashed
Note 1: Some cores are using "Interpreter" which is very slow on low end devices, we need "dynamic re compiler" to these cores.
Help me add Dynarec for Flycast: GitHub Issue here
Spoiler: Installation
Download the app from the link above
Extract the files
Install all the files in 'Dependencies' folder
Install the certificate 'RetroArch_UWP_1.14.4.0_arm.cer' as Trusted People (Local Machine)
Finally install the app 'RetroArch_UWP_1.10.4.0_arm.appx'
Spoiler: Get Started
By default Retroarch will be installed without assets
It's very important as first step to do the following:
Go to Online Updater
Select 'Update Cores Info Files' (Then wait)
Select 'Update Assets' (Then wait)
Select 'Update Databases' (Then wait)
Select 'Update Overlays' (Then wait)
Select 'Update GLSL/Slang Shaders'
Done
-----------------------------
If you faced any issue with the update process do the following:
Go to: Click Here
Then download the requested file
Extract the file to any location you want (I prefer to extract using computer then copy the files)
Go to RetroArch Settings (Second Icon from the right)
Scroll to the bottom and Select 'Directories'
Find the requested target and change the location to the new location (where you extract file.zip)
Restart

Spoiler: Load Content
By default you can access to the content using
Playlists
Local 'Downloads' folder
'LocalState' folder
Pick your custom folder
I made some improvements on the picker process so,
RetroArch will remember the last picked folder so you can open it again
Recommended: I advice you to always select root folder for all games
--------------------------
Create Playlists:
Playlists is nice solution to organize your games
also you can access to any playlist later without browsing any folder
Steps:
1- Press on 'Playlists' icon near to home icon at the bottom​2- Select 'Import Content'​3- Select 'Manual Scan'​4- Select 'Content Directory'​--Click 'Open'​--Select your target folder, like 'DS Games'​--After confirm click on 'Scan This Directory'​5- Scroll to 'Default Core' and select the core​6- Scroll to the end then click 'Start Scan'​7- Your 'Playlist' will be ready in 'Playlists' menu​8- Repeat the process for each folder you have​9- Done, you can access the games anytime​
Spoiler: Touch GamePad
By default RetroArch will not place any touch pad on the screen
To activate the touch pad do the following:
Be sure you have 'Update Overlays' in 'Online Updater'
Go to 'Settings' at the bottom
Scroll to 'On-Screen Display' and press on it
Then select 'On-Screen Overlay'
Scroll to 'Overlay Preset'
A lot of presets will be available choose what you want
---------------------------
Note: You can customize this option later from the game by pressing back button
after the menu appear scroll to 'On-Screen Overlay' and do the same steps
Spoiler: Interface
If you felt that the default interface is a bit big
You can scale it down:
Go to 'Settings' at the bottom
Scroll to 'User Interface'
Select 'Appearance'
Select 'Menu Scale Factor'
Choose what is good for you
After confirm the result go to 'Home'
Scroll to 'Configuration File'
Click on 'Save Current Configuration'
Done
Spoiler: Menu Style
The default menu called 'glui' (for Mobile), It's compatible with the mobile interface and very fast
but if you want to change the menu please note:
1- Menu 'ozone' is compatible with 'dxd11'​--To Goback inside the menus press on the bottom bar​​2- Menu 'rgui' is compatible with any video driver and fast​--To Goback inside the menus press on the top bar​​3- Menu 'xmb' is compatible with 'dxd11' and work fine with 'gl'​but 'xmb' is not user friendly for mobile and need a controller to navigate better​
How to change it?
Go to 'Settings' at the bottom
Select 'Drivers'
Scroll to 'Menu'
Choose the menu you want
before exit and apply change the compatible video driver
Quite RetroArch
Reopen, Done
Spoiler: Shaders
Shaders can add magical touch to the game
To enable shaders be sure you have 'Update GLSL/Slang Shaders' from 'Online Updater'
Steps:
Open the game
Press back button to In-Game menu
Scroll down to 'Shaders'
Enable 'Video Shaders'
Select 'Load'
Choose whatever you want
Done
Note 1: Some shaders could reduce the performance but most of them fast
Note 2: GLSL shaders will work only when the video driver set to GL
Spoiler: Free Content
Libretro is providing free content and some roms for testing
to get these files do the following:
Open 'Online Updater'
Select 'Content Downloader'
Download whatever you want
Downloaded rom will be exist at 'Load Content' -> 'Downloads'
Done
Spoiler: GLES Support
The fact about GLES 2.0, 3.0 support is: Microsoft using ANGLE library to translate the OpenGL ES call to DirectX
so at the end we are using DirectX.
That's led to few visual issues in the cores that support GLES and I'm working very hard to find solutions asap.
Spoiler: Non-UWP Support
Many of the compiled cores could work on the ARM release of RetroArch (NON-UWP)
Go to the download link above and download the cores separately from my Repo then add them to the Retoarch in 'cores' folder
Spoiler: App Permissions
For your privacy concerns here some explains for the app permissions:
-Internet access: used for download contents and online play​-Act as server: for online/network play​-File System (WOA only): Reducing the UWP limitations for files access (disabled by default)​-Uses all system resources: for specific hardware usage (probable for some RetroArch advanced features)​-codeGeneration: added specificly for PPSSPP core as it's uses VirtualProtectFromApp function​read more about VirtualProtectFromApp: Click Here​
Spoiler: Known Issue
I guess there is known issue in libretro cores,
When the performance is low try ONE of the following:
Pause the game for seconds then resume
Rotate the screen
in some cases it will back to the normal speed
If you found any thing not clear, or you faced any issue while installing.. please let me know I will be happy to help.
Many thanks.

Try this version, I re-targeted the package to 14393 and merged the cores from the latest release in case it worked, so you will not missed any core.
Download RetroArch (Latest)
UPDATE (New readers): For WinRT Use release that marked "No DirectX"
Hope it will work fine (don't forget to re-install the certificate)

Thanks, I really appreciate your help.. just one last request try again and after the crash go directly to "Event Viewer" from:
- Start Search
- Or Windows+R then type eventvwr
Then:
- Select Windows Logs
- Select Applications
You should find error log related to RetroArch at the top..
Just do screenshot for the details so I can understand what exactly is getting failed.
Many thanks for your time.

Try this version, I re-targeted the package to 14393 and merged the cores from the latest release in case it worked, so you will not missed any core.
Download RetroArch 1.9.10 (14393)
Hope it will work fine (don't forget to re-install the certificate)

Hi,
I am trying this versione on the same machine and windows of Timdu66 but I can't install the certificate. It returns error if installing on local machine.
Error is on rundll32.exe - the parameter is incorrect
Is thera a way to work it out?

Not sure if the system is missing something, but try the following:
1- Open 'Start Menu'
2- Search for 'certmgr'
3- Select "Manage Computer Certificates"
4- Right click on "Trusted People"
5- Select "All Tasks"
6- Then choose "Import"
and follow the instructions.
(Another solution) Alternative method (if there is no other solution):
1- Turn on Developer mode (Settings->Privacy & Security->For developers)
2- Extract the package with '7z' or any archive app (to D:\RetroArch) as example
3- Register the package with 'powershell' (Win+R-> type 'powershell')
4- Run the following command:
Code:
Add-AppxPackage -Register D:\RetroArch\AppxManifest.xml
Hope it will work.
