My honest opinion about the phone?
I truely like this phone (used as dailydriver 2 weeks now) because it has a pretty nice design, it's not too heavy (which is also important) and the overall quality is good. It does all things fine, and I haven't really experienced any issues or flaws besides that the compass is not so accurate. The camera is in my eyes above average (pretty good) - pictures are sharp and clear, the batterylife very good and besides that it is a very basic phone.
A free Tempered Glass Screen Protector is also included with the phone, and it comes with a normal preinstalled screenprotector out of the box.

Hi s7yler, Indeed your photos are much better that photos shooted from colonelzap in his review, I don't know how is possible.
Here there are the colonelzap's photos...
Do you have problems with notifications, widgets that disappear after reboot or app incompatibles with the system? These are the bugs that speed 7 buyers have...

I don't think they are MUCH better, maybe a little bit better. the aperture etc. are the same in the EXIF infos when I compare them.
I am using the latest OTA (20150820-222255) update on the phone and I do not have any problems with the notification LED, widgets or apps.
Widgets works fine and stay after a reboot. What apps should not work? And notification LED works as it should for missed calls and SMS.

I don't understand what you mean with 1)? what app does not work???
And the notification LED is only in red yes, but that should also be enough. They didn't promise RGB colours.
Whatsapp I don't personally use, so can't comment on that.
installed apps are in the data / app of internal memory and then you have to run them at startup. To run them automatically to be copied into the folder system / app ...
The problem with whatsapp that a lot of users have, is that usually the notifications aren't received. Some users can receive whatsapp's notification only opening the app and then exit from it with the central button, but not the triangle button. This problem is also common to other app like viber, aquamail etc.

I think it is more a problem with whatsapp itself, I heard that whatsapp gives problems on many different phones, not only on the ZOPO here. Seems to be common that whatsapp doesn't work correct on many smartphones.
What copeppe and franciros think is thet the 3th party widgets do not load after reboot. Only the widgets from firmware is loaded without problems.
By the way, excellent review.

Thanks!
On the lastest OTA Wireless Update from ZOPO these things also seems to be fixed. Here the changelog, it is similar on both the ZOPO Speed 7 and ZOPO Speed 7 Plus
Seems to cover all the bugs mentioned or?
Also I am using "Weather & Clock widget" on my ZOPO and the widget is always there, also after a reboot!
Yes, I see now. Finally upgrade!!!
Great review S7yler, please PM me a link/coupon for purchase if you got one tnx
How do I upgrade zp951 20150911-194355 when it is the root?
If you have root & the recovery image installed, then If someone releases a zip-file of 20150911-194355 update, it can be installed via recovery.
I guess it is that simple.
Otherwise, its a re-flash of a full ROM when the 20150911-194355 update is included in the next ROM download, then a re-root.
I downloaded the update. I did not install it. Launched the phone in recovery mode . Leeching the menu up to install zip from adupsfota folder and install update.zip. I aborted the installation.
What am I doing wrong? : płacz:
Check the zip file size; I have read that the original update was 122 MB, and the most recent update is 132 MB. The first one, 122 MB, must have been damaged or compiled wrong.
Look here: http://www.androidiani.com/forum/zopo/473439-thread-ufficiale-zopo-speed-7-plus-zp952-22.html
I expect my Speed 7 (non plus) to arrive tomorrow, so I am only guessing until I try out all this root & recovery stuff for myself.

Seems to be a problem on the latest OTA update file (only on the Speed 7 Plus) I have reported it to ZOPO, hopefully they are going to fix this soon.
I installed the old firmware. I have updated and re-root.

If someone would kindly test this attachment and let me know if u have any problems thatd be awesome (install instructions are in the op)
Here's my take on modding the bitrate. Seems to be similar to my N3. So far I've changed:
4k: 48mbit to 65mbit
1080p: 17mbit to 20mbit
1080/60p: 28mbit to 40mbit
Rest is unchanged. I don't own a N4 so testing is appreciated
**link removed, having some compiling issues..
Version 3 is out!
Thanks for the mod.
I will test it after rooting.
Is there a chance to save the pictures as RAW?
Because RAW has a better dynamic range.
Since a while, i use raw on my dslr. The difference is dramaticly.
Spezially white balance correction is much easier and the result is better.
I cant understand Samsung and other producer, why in hell a simple function like this is allways disabled. Raw is the uncompressed data from the cmos. There is no need to destroy this good data, with a compression algorithm. 100% jpgs are not real 100%.
Actual, a good 64gb Micro sd card costs round about 40 Euro. Thats enough space for raw pix.
If raw is not possible, maybe png or bmp?
I think raw is over kill for the image quality u get from mobile iso and the amount of time to simply take and process for a normal mobile phone camera+sensor to take the image is far longer than stock, requires a steadier hand and probably negates the OIS, in my experience ppl want something they can take quickly, with easy steady shot every time and open up in the stock gallery so yuy2 or ycrcb format bmp or png would be a far better option for most of us.
I'd leave raw for dslr, the stock camera is already outstanding but we can make it better.
Okay. Thanks for the answer. As far as i know, OneplusOne or an other producer has the raw option in a new smartphone model integrated. I bought the sandisk uhc card. This card is multiple times faster than older cards. I think it can store big files Quick. I use the same cards in my gh4 dslr in 4k recording mode. And in full hd with 200mbit/sec. No glitches.
here a little comparison:
oneplusone (raw/jpg)
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Raw-DNG-vs-JPEG-on-a-smartphone-comparison-images_id58538
nexus 5 (raw/jpg) (with android 5 cam api, dng is possible.)
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Unle...ence-between-lossless-raw-DNG-vs-JPEG_id61956
for me, it looks interesting. and the difference is clearly visible.

I think its overkill for a mobile Raw. But hey if its possible some would like that. As it is it takes pretty decent images. One of the best cameras on a mobile I think.
Anything is better than jpeg to be sure, i still don't understand why companies don't use a better format to this day and not get better out of their devices like Oneplus.
kevinrocksman you're quick with the mods mate, 65mbit is amazing, how big are those video file sizes? Already ordered my 128gb card, my internal is 90% full so i cant record for more than a min in UHD, and does it produce any errors when it hits 5 mins?
Actuality there is an app that lets you record in PNG, Camera FV-5. I think its around $5 on play.

Not sure how to change it to raw. Wouldnt even know where to start. Well 4k seems to be around 7-12MB per second. After 5 mjn on 4k it stops. As for anything else like 1080 no problems so far. Gone up to 20 minutes so far
I like to have an option Raw+JPG for some picture that need better quality. The GN4 JPG algorithm give some noise.
Raw is coming in android lollipop. Hopefully samsung updates their camera app to utilize it but km they don't maybe this mod can.

I present to you a preview ANDROID-M. Rooted. Android M launcher, Camera, Photos. It took bauuu a long time to create it that way for our phone. " I will not talk much about it, but it works. Very good battery life, smooth, stable and suitable for daily use. There are additional settings in the options of the developer. See terms batteries (not one of gravitybox). Dynamic status bar, the new settings interface. The first launch will take more time, and the phone will restart automatically after. Just be patient, until you see the main screen. It Multilingual firmware" - bauuu.
After installation, restart once to fix problems with the display memory. With kernel BINDU.

CN Markup :- https://yadi.sk/d/XjAPYEjzjHyEY
For "pure HD graphics" tweak" , flash zip from attachment. Improves GPU rendering performance without affecting battery life. It is tweak specially build for MTK devices.
For enhanced sound quality you can try "viper4android" app and move that app to system so that it is processing without being killed.
Unique Features you can Experience:-
* ART (activated ART instead of dalvik ( developers menu) & still not encountered any issues )
* Android M Boot animation
* Lollipop like recent apps ( mainly, quickly switches between huge again saying huge apps )
* Antutu Benchmark - 15858 ( I personally do not follow antutu completely because it shows that our device ( lenovo p780) only surpasses 50 % in battery performance. What to say ?
* Crosses 3S criteria :- Smooth, Stable & Speed. :victory:
* Great Multitasking ability for proof see screenshot.
( chrome - huge ram user, MX player, OfficeSuite pro, WhatsApp, better camera pro, es file explorer, play music, gmail & quickpic gallery - all these apps were opened & was able to multitask without any drawback )
* Also great battery life because when it sleeps it saves battery to large extent :-See screenshot.
* Dynamic Status Bar just like chameleon - Enjoy the colours while surfing colourful webpages.
* Use Seeder for complete lag reduction.
* Also gives option to delete screenshot in status bar - one of features of Android M as told by google in I/O.
* 16 MP image capture ability + HDR working.
To experience follow below steps :-
1) Install better camera apk.
2) convert it to system app using titanium backup.
3) uninstall google camera because panorama features does not work with it, but it works with better camera app - ( most highly recommend camera app by professional photographers).
4) Enjoy HD image capturing because HDR feature creates 11 MB size photo.
5) optional - use quickpic gallery app for faster access to your images.
Patches :- (Camera fix 8-2014) I think any patch is able to fix the problem on the camera's new Chinese versions. Since I did not CN 4GB phone, I can not verify it. Try it and if it does not write to the QMS. You can find file on other forums.
I am greatly thankful to bauuu for his development of such a unique rom. Also warm regards to AndreyZo and Andreya108 for their huge development in development of lenovo p780 (A super mini computer but with huge battery life).
For New Screenshots see attachments :-
The modem might not work in your area. Try other modem by flaashing it.

Good ! we have new ROM to try
Just getting used with MIUI .
Let's try this one too...
Sent from my Lenovo P780
Yes miui is quite good. But it lacks in battery backup but gives nearly full performance.
My experience of battery when device is awake for nearly half of the time (90%-10%):
Stock ROM : 21 hrs 53 min
Android M preview : 1 day 21 hrs
MIUI : 12 hrs 54 min
To have complete google experience just like in case of nexus phones. Install google now launcher and convert it to system app using titanium backup.
Also I would like to mention that 246 MB is still free in system, which gives us advantage of moving useful apps to system.

Thanks for the wonderful rom.just downloaded and will try it on the coming Sunday.
Hope we will be receiving such new roms in future also
Sent from my P780
Yes, hoping that the development for our lenovo p780 continues and bring forward more features from the very same hardware.
Sent from my Mini PC ( Lenovo p780)
SS for this ROM & my take on this ROM:
1.everything working fine.no FCs
2.a bit laggy during the animations.
3.battery backup is very good .
4.ram usage not optimised
4.more updates after further use.

Hello anujyadava,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
For improved graphics performance try pure HD tweak from attachment. It will eliminate lagginess during animation.
For ram purpose , can u tell are you on dalvik or art because but I am enjoying multitasking on ART without any drawback.
Sometimes even I forget to clear tasks, because there is no need. Only when I open recent panel I come to know that this much apps are running. ✌

i was on dalvik,changed to ART now and flashed the pure HD tweak zip and will monitor the multitasking now.will report the results soon.thanks anyways.
edit:everytime i change to art and reboot it is still dalvik.i am using CN base rom.any workaround for this
I am on ROW layout.
I rebooted several times and it is still on ART.
R u using xposed framework because when xposed is active it changes the runtime to dalvik as it is not compatible with it. I experienced such issues with xposed and ART.
Try Seeder for lag reduction. Now this device works like a charm.
Share your experience.

Thanks for the share . I really love this rom so much .
Good for multitasking
So far no lagging or over heating issue while playing games.
Seeder app will fix the animation lags
Its not possible to adjust the media and notification volume using volume up and down keys from desktop .
Rom toolbox pro or rom toolbox lite is not working .
Modem issue is fixed after flashing s226 modem .
So far good .
See if one tweak is working or if you want some tweak to work it is necessary that you remove the control over your ROM from existing tweaks. Its governer or SD card read write speed is already monitored & controlled by inbuilt system.
I haven't felt any use of ROM toolbox and haven't used it since bindu kernel was made available for our phone.
And thanks for sharing your experience.

If you want to have expanded volume control on desktop using keys then gravitybox xposed module is there for such modifications.
But when you install xposed framework then your runtime will change from ART to dalvik.

yes i am using xposed and got ur point.
just wanted to know whats seeder app and how to use it???
For some app dark theme is not working . instead of black theme its showing blue theme . I love rom . my phone is free from overheating issues ??
Our system gathers some "real" random numbers by keeping an eye about different events: network activity, hardware random number generator etc.
Seeder app increases that rngd data & enhances I/O queue.
Main thing is it stops that service after screen off to save huge amount of battery.
Also it increases entropy by much amount upto 4096.
U have to just install that app & tick all the boxes and finally push enable button.

For "pure HD graphics" tweak" , flash zip from attachment. Improves GPU rendering performance without affecting battery life. It is tweak specially build for MTK devices.
For enhanced sound quality you can try "viper4android" app and move that app to system so that it is processing without being killed.
Unique Features you can Experience:-
* ART (activated ART instead of dalvik ( developers menu) & still not encountered any issues )
* Android M Boot animation
* Lollipop like recent apps ( mainly, quickly switches between huge again saying huge apps )
* Antutu Benchmark - 15858 ( I personally do not follow antutu completely because it shows that our device ( lenovo p780) only surpasses 50 % in battery performance. What to say ?
* Crosses 3S criteria :- Smooth, Stable & Speed.
* Great Multitasking ability for proof see screenshot.
( chrome - huge ram user, MX player, OfficeSuite pro, WhatsApp, better camera pro, es file explorer, play music, gmail & quickpic gallery - all these apps were opened & was able to multitask without any drawback )
* Also great battery life because when it sleeps it saves battery to large extent :-See screenshot.
* Dynamic Status Bar just like chameleon - Enjoy the colours while surfing colourful webpages.
* Use Seeder for complete lag reduction.
* Also gives option to delete screenshot in status bar - one of features of Android M as told by google in I/O.
* 16 MP image capture ability + HDR working.
To experience follow below steps :-
1) Install better camera apk.
2) convert it to system app using titanium backup.
3) uninstall google camera because panorama features does not work with it, but it works with better camera app - ( most highly recommend camera app by professional photographers).
4) Enjoy HD image capturing because HDR feature creates 11 MB size photo.
5) optional - use quickpic gallery app for faster access to your images.
Patches :- (Camera fix 8-2014) I think any patch is able to fix the problem on the camera's new Chinese versions. Since I did not CN 4GB phone, I can not verify it. Try it and if it does not write to the QMS. You can find file on other forums.
I am greatly thankful to bauuu for his development of such a unique rom. Also warm regards to AndreyZo and Andreya108 for their huge development in development of lenovo p780 (A super mini computer but with huge battery life).

Welcome to my Honor 8 Camera Enhancement Tweak.
Here you will find tweaks that should make your Honor 8 camera even better.
Hoping to get better quality out of this phone & seeing no real mod work happening, I decided to tackle improving this camera for myself. I have tested my tweaks extensively in all modes with my Honor 8 FRD-L04 model ever since I got it back in December of last year. I am confident that this tweak gives us the best performance out of our camera(s) without compromising the complex nature of how the dual sensor stuff works.
What does this mod do :
Basically, you should have in general better resolved photos with more detail, dynamic range, better low light performance and overall exposure handling. You will also have slightly higher quality video as well.
Enhancement Tweak Version 1
Full details of this tweak outlined below to the stock Honor 8 camera :
- Jpg Compression Quality set to 100%
- Larger Image Buffer
- Higher Bitrate 1080p Video Recording (28mbps)
- Better Chroma Conversion between B&W & Colour Sensor
- Higher rate of B&W Sensor Detail mixed with blend matrix
- Larger colour information flow from colour sensor in blend matrix
- Better overall handling of ISO exposure settings
- Better low light performance
- Less noise in low ISO
- More aggressive handling of high ISO aliasing
- Extra frame of bracketing for HDR modes
Hit Here for a sample of the results from this tweak :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71516365&postcount=12
Note : Your images will now be significantly larger then before, on average between 6 to 8megs and over 12 to 16megs using DOF Focus mode.
Videos will also have larger filesizes as the bitrate has increased.
Hit Here for a sample of the file sizes & bitrate reported from this tweak :

Question: Does it work on nougat?
Answer: Even tho Im using Marshmallow, it seems to work on my friends phone with nougat but Im not guaranteeing it as I don’t know if any of the camera dependent system files changed.
Question: What is all this stuff and do you even know what your doing?
Answer : Sure……………
Question: How do I know what all this funkiness does and if it all works?
Answer: Im bloody magic, that’s how.
Question: Can you get the black & white sensor only to work like the P9?
Answer: No More Questions!
DISCLAIMER!
Please keep in mind that even tho my tweak works amazeballz on my phone, I can not be held responsible for any damage, craziness, you phone getting drunk at night and having sex with your girlfriend or even Trump getting angry at you and causing thermonuclear war. Please back up your system partition, nandroid, hemorrhoid or polaroid your phone to be safe before flashing strange zips barring candy.
Steps for installation :
You Obviously need to be rooted with custom recovery.
1) Restart in TWRP
2) Make a backup – nandroid etc.
3) Flash my zip file - Note - Make sure you have mounted r/w all required partitions - Thanks @cvkef
4) Reboot
5) Phone boots up and camera claims to know where the arc of the covenant is
- Joking! But … Camera should be working as advertised
Update 1 - Included now is a zip to flash back to stock settings
Thanks to @Telperion for the files to flash back to stock :good:
Update 2 - Magisk Support!
Thanks to @Telperion there is now a Magisk Module attached below for this tweak!
Hope you enjoy my mod! Keep fit and have fun!
( - See Below for files to download - )
For original recovery??
Inviato dal mio FRD-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
Thank you, JF-GINO - sounds very interesting. Do you think it should work, at least in theory, on the European models as well (L-09)? Did anyone try it on the newest Nougat version(s) B360 / B380 on L-09 yet and can confirm that it is fully functional? A further suggestion: Maybe you could upload a flashable .zip with the "old", standard settings of the camera in case people encounter any problems. Thanks again, looks very promising!
Will be trying this once I have twrp installed. Thanks for the work.

TWRP.
Just made some trials with poor lighting and it looks a bit less grainy. Nothing revolutionary obviously but noticeable and much appreciated. Thank you!
Are there some comparison samples?
Flashed on FRD-L09 B120. Seem like social sharing from the Camera App is broken since then at least for me. Additionally the "smart wiping" feature of the fingerprint sensor is gone. But that isn't necessary related, had the problem before for a short time.
UPDATE - Ok, nevermind, it was probably unrelated. Phone needed a couple of reboots and a cache flush, now everything works again as expected.
Hi dev congrats for your work!
I installed lineage 13 on my Honor and I'm not satisfied of camera, even using 3rd part app. Can I flash your mod or it's only for emui?
Thanks in advance.

This should work on all models as the camera depended files are all the same. As for Nougat, I have tried it on a phone with B360 and it seems to work but I dont know what they did in the update to improve the metrics for the camera as Im still on MM. Im assuming they left the dependencies alone and just updated the camera app itself as nougat users have not complained yet & are getting the same positive results.
As for a rollback zip or uninstaller, I was going to put one together but I realized I did not keep any of the original files since a Nandroid back in early January. after that, I was using settings from the P9. I also dont know if each version has slightly different files as stock either. This is why I released it this way and stressed you do a backup. Maybe later if I have the time I can look into extracting the original files from a stock rom.

If Lineage is CM based then no, I would think that none of this would work on that rom. The stock emui camera app is dependent on this mod. Sorry.

Glad you sorted your problem out as non of these modded files should affect what you where having issues with :good:
Dev in words seems a great job but I would also expect a comparative pre post photographic sample under different conditions. You do not think to post the results of your work?

For those of you who want some sort of example of the effectiveness of this mod, here are two below.
Example 1 - Low ambient light
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Example 2 - Daytime sunny
hope this helps some of you as my examples clearly show more detail, dynamic range & less noise.
As for video quality, the raised bitrate should speak for itself.
So, if I understood correctly, there is no point of using this mod in Nougat has it already has the same improvements implemented?
nevertheless, great job!
Hi @JF-GINO,
Is there any safe way to validate that the patch is applied? (photo filesizes seem the same)

Wrong, I never said that... these improvements are mine alone.. I did however indicate that I thought the file dependencies did not change from MM to Nougat. This mod should work on both and was tested on nougat with no Ill side effects. If there are any problems tho, I would like to know.

Hmmm,...
Standard default filesizes should be between 2 & 3 megs max depending on the detail in the image.
My settings increase this as per my screenshot examples below of both file size & video bitrates after the mod. Remember that if you take a photo in a dark environment with little detail, then your file size can be as low as 2 megs.
That being said, Try to take a video and see what the bitrate comes out to,. should be as shown in my screenshot.
Camera won't boot anymore
After flashing your mod everything worked fine for me but after a few reboots my phone didn't boot anymore. I did a backup in TWRP an restored my phone. After restoring it everything worked fine except that my camera won't boot. So the normal camera app is closing quickly after I try to start it and in apps like Snapchat or Instagram is only a blackscreen. I don't want to reset my whole phone so if you could help me this would be amazing. L09C432B380 (Nougat).
Sorry for my rather bad English.

Im not sure why your phone would be working fine and then after a few restarts just stop working like that and then your camera not working after a full restore? All my files would have been overwritten. Very strange.
I did however send you a PM on the issue - see your inbox.

Same device, same firmware and no issues for me.
Solved the problem by rolling back to MM (B131) and updating to Nougat. I'll try your mod again and will see if it works now.
So, there is a new SoC about to heat the markets. Amlogic is trying to beat the RK3229 (low cost processor) and attacks with the S905W.
Amlogic S905W is almost same as S905X but they removed something to decrease its price but without affect too much to the normal users. This case, they removed the [email protected] and it works up to [email protected] For streamers this feature is not a big problem and they can get a powerful box under lower price.
Oh, and it supports Android 7.1.1
First TV Box featuring S905W is the Tanix TX3 Mini. Here some pictures:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can read full specifications about S905W and TX3 Mini at the TANIX website
No price yet, but, it should be cheaper than those S905X

When the mecool m8s pro plus is only $4 more, i dont know why people would buy this one?
mecool m8s pro plus has widevine and hdcp, no other box under $70 dollars has that.
I bought this device and make an unboxing video. It has HDMI-CEC feature and it is much cooler than S912 based TV Boxes. If your expectations are not too high, S905W would be a good and cool solution. Here is the unboxing video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNNdEZTBwCY
This device has a maximum video output resolution of 720p. It can decode a 1080p video, but it will make it look like a 720p.

I have one. The UI was rendered @ 720p to avoid performance issues, but it does not downscale FHD videos to HD, that's not true. Local videos @ 1080p will play at 1080p, same for 4k but only if they're at a max of 30fps.
In recent updates they changed because it caused issues with YouTube and other streaming apps. The streaming apps that detected the UI @ 720p, rendered at a max of 720p, so, after some complaints, they removed that restriction.
The box comes pretty much uncluttered, with only a pre-installed version of Kodi, a working Play Store and not much else besides stock apps. It's pre-rooted, SELinux in permissive, which seems to be the norm on these cheap boxes.
The worst thing is overheating. It easily goes up to 80+ Celsius, so i changed CPU management settings in the Governor, limited max clock to 1Ghz and deactivated one of the cores (using KAM). Performance still good and temp is around 65 now. Unfortunately, one of the USB's is already fried after just 1 week, i suspect the overheating issue.

If you play the attached video on your PC connected to a 1080p monitor, you'll see that the field "1080" has a 1-pixel-precise pattern, but if you play it with this crappy box on the same monitor that field is made of thicker lines (2 pixel width). To be honest, i admit I didn't try the latest firmware, but i doubt that they changed anything in that respect. Most people can't see the difference, or they don't want to see, between a 1080 and a 720 video. But the difference is quite noticeable if you want to us the box for web browsing sitting close to the monitor.

Is this zip file flashable within the box itself? I just can't work with the flash tool and that stupid method to plug usb at the same time as power plug, tried a million times with the img files and just couldn't update.
I just received this item from [email protected], tested with videoprojector 1080P and youtube, it looks fine (I'm not a video maniac, I just need it to see netflix and co., no 4K...) and I bought an Alfawise S95 that should be exatly the same (maybe without optical out and smaller, that make me afraid abaout temperature, Tanix is VERY hot!).
I have 3 questions:
1-I can't find the root settings, do I need to install supersu?
2-Actually I NEED magisk systmless root, not a classic root, due to 2 streaming apps that doesn't works with classic root (and home banking too) is there a way to remove the root and patch the boot.img, maybe the one from the new beta firmware?
3-I can turn root OFF and application won't use/see it?
Thank you!
does it Support 5.1 Surround Sound Output?
becouse has spdif output...but at specs doesnt say anything...but tanix tx3 max supports..and i cant understand the differences between tanix tx3 mini and tanix tx3 max

3-I can turn root OFF and application won't use/see it?
Thank you!

Alfawise S95 mounts TX3 Mini motherboard, then, size and connectors are same.
Probably your firmware is not updated yet. You can upgrade to this version (I recommend you OPTION A):
BETA Firmware Available for testing 20171220
_______________________________________
Assuming 20171107 is the latest stable version available, these are the changes:
Root ON/OFF menu option added at Settings
New Auto Frame-Rate menu option added at Settings
Video layer improvement (fixed a 720p downscale bug)
Mouse pointer resized
Corrections from a new Amlogic's SDK
Improved WiFi throughput
Some other video improvements
Youtube 1080p setting has been fixed with 20171107
HOW TO UPDATE:
OPTION A) Upgrade from TF card or USB memory by using "Update" APP
1. Copy the .ZIP file to your TF Card.
2. Insert the card in the TX3 Mini.
3. Open "Update" APP (already preinstalled).
4. Press "Select" button and choose the .ZIP file
5. Press "Update" button and wait. The box will reboot and upgrade.
- If something goes wrong, try again.
You can get the .ZIP file here: - DOWNLOAD ZIP BETA FIRMWARE -
OPTION B) Flash from computer by USB port using "Burning Tool" software
1. Download the IMG file.
2. Follow this tutorial. It is same process for this model.
- If something goes wrong, try again or choose "Force Erase" option.
You can get the .IMG file here: - DOWNLOAD IMG BETA FIRMWARE -
You will find the Root ON/OFF switch at: Settings > Common > More Settings > Superuser
You can have a try :good:

Is this zip file flashable within the box itself? I just can't work with the flash tool and that stupid method to plug usb at the same time as power plug, tried a million times with the img files and just couldn't update.

Try the "OPTION A" from my previous post. You can upgrade by TF/USB Memory and "UPDATE" APP included in your box.

That did the trick, updated flawlessly, thank you! Finally i can have my box updated, and YouTube in FHD runs smoothly. TV Streaming in FHD also runs smoothly but HW decoder needs to be selected in MX Player options. And no, the box does not downscale FHD because the difference is very very noticeable between HD and FHD on both scenarios.
My broblem is:is it a systemlessroot, can i use magisk to hide the root? Here in italy 90% of pay streaming services won't works with common root, only hiding it with magisk... Well, actually if turning root off doesn't reset the device, maybe I can switch it on or off when I need to use apps that refuse to works with root... Could it work?
Last question:firmwares are interchangeable with alphawise s95 (exactly same specification)
I have no brightness settings after last update.
