We have released our new Tronfy MX4 telos TV Box , it is the first Amlogic S812 Andriod 5.1 BOX . using WIFI 6335, OTA Support, it has been send out for review
however, we are going to have a custom rom so that our clients will get better rom to extend their system.
several points to notice:
Developers who'd like to cook ROM for us,like wasser. I'll provide SDK and support;
Guys who helps other people kindly in XDA (Mainly for Android TV BOX).
We have no wired requirements, as long as you can hammer out good Rom and meet our client's demands, you will get more than a box
Pls PM me!

I'm interested as well.
I have one of those cheap android TV boxes (Branded M9X). It is ok for basic youtube/ kodi stuff and I am happy with it how it is. However I am interested about how hard it would be to port the AOSP version of Android TV to the device. Can any developers give their opinion on this?
Hi all,
I'm fairly new to this TV box stuff and mine arrived with Android 4.4.2 sitting on kernel 3.10.33
Everything looks super outdated so I started doing some digging to see if there are new firmwares that can be installed but didn't find any reliable source for it. If anyone has info about this please share it with us. I also noticed there is a software running which Kodi sits on which I don't think is needed as Kodi can sit directly on Android without issues.
Thanks in advance

Post the hardware specifications
Chance are there are compatible boxes out there where you can borrow a newer rom from.
I'm looking to get an Android TV device and I am overwhelmed with options. I want something that is fully unlockable with an active development community. What originally got me interested was the Amazon Fire TV but after reading up it seems the new units are no longer rootable/unlockable. That lead me down the path to other devices. I think I've settled on the AMLogic based devices (if there are other suggestion I'm open). It looks like there are basically 3.
S905 - Older chip and stuck with Android 5 roms
S905x - Newer with 4k but performance is not as good at the S905. More dev/roms available
S912 - 8 core. Has DVB S2/T2 support (not sure what that does for me though) Does not seem to be a lot of dev for this. Only one thread I saw.
Based on these assumptions I'm leaning toward a X96 - S905x 2GB/16GB model for $42.99.
Also. Do the non Amazon devices support Amazon video? My current chromecast's do not and that is one reason for the upgrade.
I am in a similat boot here
Decided on the X96 because I found the page for the firmware updates before I found a link to buy the box LOL
Apart from the missing BT a great box considering the usual limitations.
Amazon video only works on Amazon devices AFAIK but I don't use it.
Same story for Android TV, great hype about it but I think it is just a crippled launcher with really limited content showing up - mainly Youtube and Google but nothing else.
The S912 seems to be the affordable alternative if you need BT and a bit more computing power for games but S905D boxes are slowly turning up.
Same for devices running on Android7 and offering up to 3GB/32GB.
But Android7 for TV boxes is in an early beta to say it nice with a lot of bugs and half cooked menu structures - better to wait a bit longer if you ask me.
And since the hardware for these boxes is literally identical within the families it comes down to personal preference and what can be modded or not.
Personally I am starting to think that despite the huge price tag the Shield is still the best option in terms of quality, hardware and support.
DVB is for terrestial and satellite TV.
Thanks. I did not realize there was no BT on the S905x boxes. My only concern there is I was planning to use a wireless BT keyboard with it.
Almost all wireless keyboards that come with a dongle will work, for example the Logitech and MS ones, same for the dirt cheap and tiny touchpad keyboards you get on Ebay.
BT is only a problem if you need it for game controllers, weather stations or to pair some speakers to it.
I see. I went ahead and ordered a X96 that included a mini keyboard last night. I figure for $47.98, including shipping, what the heck right? I'll have a cheap new toy to play with.
Once you played enough you will start playing even more when you try different custom roms

I want to 'root' this device. I've tried Kingroot, OneClick Root and those don't do it.
Here are the peticulars on this box:
M9S-PRO 2GB+16GB Android 6.0 S905X Quad Core 64bit HD Smart TV Box WiFi 4K Media
Android Box was bought from Antiquechina2009 on eBay, technical support from that company is nill. Parent company is TOPTOM. TOPTOM as a BBB rating of "F". I 'googled' their company (located in California) and phone number. I called twice last week and left my name and number. I have not received a call-back.
Has anyone been successful in 'rooting' this Android TV Box?
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Please share.
Thanks
