Hi all!
This is my mixture of the latest ROM available, KF2. TK-ROM is created with the intent to be a mixture of the latest available sources, though stable for everyday use.
Ofcourse I don't take any responsibility for your device... This works with mine, so it should on yours too!
First off: Thanks to the people that inspired me to learn how to use build ROMs, and for those that gave me hints in the Samsung universe: Cyanogen, Pulser_g2, Paul from MoDaCo, designgears, jazzor, bmarko82 ++
ROM features:
-Rom Base: XXKF2 (thanks to Intratech's thread)
-PDA:KF2, CSC:KF2, PHONE:KF2
-Deodexed
-ZIP-Aligned
-Battery percentage, adwanced power menu & CRT effect (update.zip without below in the thread) (Thanks to JKay)
-Modded Maps 5.7.0 to allow navigation outside the US - for official install maps.zip through CWM found in data/maps/ (thanks to ownhere/stian230)
-Added European servers to GPS config file
-CF-Root v4.0 KF2 Kernel w/root/busybox/CWM4 (Thanks to Chainfire)
-Chainfire3D v2 (obvious who to thank, or?^)
-modified mms.apk (Thanks to muveszur)
-modified camera.apk (thanks to Potatoman)
-Gtalk with video (thanks to ma10)
-Launcher Pro 0.8.6
-Titanium Backup
-Lagfixed browser (thanks to LitePro)
-Swype and Samsung IME with nordic languages
-Removed full battery notification sound
-Removed lots of Samsung apps (update.zip to get them back under)
Download TK-ROM v0.3.8 md5: a30476eab55cfa59041921bd00fce9c9
v0.3.8 doesn't require a wipe to work. If you experience problems, please try wiping (data + dalvik cache) before reporting issues.
To get a really nice, blue theme for TK-ROM, visit this post!
FLASH THROUGH CLOCKWORKMOD, NOT ODIN!
Instructions:
1. Flash a custom kernel with CWM, eg. this
2. Download the ROM, and place it somewhere on the external SD card
3. Reboot into CWM
4. Navigate with the vol keys to Install zip from SD card -> choose zip -> navigate to where you put the ROM -> press home button
5. Press power button to go back, then home to reboot device
If you appreciate this ROM you may consider to buy me a soda (I don't like beer you see ). It's not expected, but highly appreciated!
Or to thank me, simply press the "thanks"-button
*To get the official Google Maps flash the maps.zip attached through CWM, and update through market.
*To remove the CRT effect flash the framework_wo_crt.zip though CWM.
*To remove samsungapps (musichub, socialhub, IM etc.) open the attached .txt on your phone, mark all, copy & paste in terminal, then accept root and you're finished. You can add/remove apps as you wish with notepad.
*The best fonts I've found so far are ComfortAA and cocon light from here.
*Phone.zip WITHOUT increasing volume is attached. Flash through CWM.
*To get the removed samsung apps installed on your system simply flash this.

i'm probably going to stick to stock from next version (which will be full version with wipe as well), as I've found a glitch in this theme already (took me one day though... was finished yesterday) :S The stock version will be up in ~1 hour
Flott jobb, mange takk /Great work, many thanks!
Although I like the black dialler, I'd prefer one with the "stock font" numbers, if you know what I mean - could that be included with your stock version?
Takk igjen
i'll wait another hour then!
are you just releasing the theme or the entire ROM ?
cant wait!
It will be the entire ROM, like 0.1b
working on it now, then I have to test it, upload and post
A few suggestions for you. I'm not fond of the charging icon included and prefer the circle that alternates between showing the charge state (percentage) and plug icon in the center. It's a lot easier to see where you are at a glance with that one when its on charge and a little bit easier than the stock when its not. This is just me maybe but I prefer to get market apps off the market should I choose them. IMO a setup like designgears uses where you can take your choice when you first boot the rom is the way to go, lets users pick their poison. Any how looks like a good piece of work and I'm likely to flash this and give er a spin.
no novek i love your theme can you keep it plaese.
excellent!
and it seems your going to be busy, i know some people really like that theme! i.e. ^

Thanks for the tips, but LP and TB are apps I use much for testing etc. so unless there are many requests to remove them, they stay.
I'm going to put a .txt in OP for people to run in terminal on their phone to remove unwanted apps (with a selection that I use prepopulated). It's easier if people just removed what they don't want, and those who like what "stock-like" gives can get that.
The "Stock" version will still be with crt/advanced power menu/battery%, but slightly more clean...
Nice rom so far.
I have two issues though; one is that Google Maps won't update, says the package is incorrectly signed. Two is that scrolling seems to 'hitch' quite often. Having come from Lite'ning ROM which was silky smooth, it's quite noticeable.
Thanks for posting though

I use the Ti pro myself, have LP installed but have been running TW debloated for a while. Wanted to give it a fair shake. The idea was not those specific apps just a mechanism that allow users to choose their poison whether it be like design gears, a spare parts, a separate app such as pulser uses. Or what you propose, doesn't matter its the concept not the road. For myself I can fix these things before I flash or after case depending but it takes less time to skip unwanted software altogether than remove it after the fact. At any rate these were not criticisms just suggestions. I appreciate your efforts and will likely flash this after I see where my battery ens up with KF1 which I flashed yesterday.

It does for me for some reason... It's from here, maybe there's a solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132
I'll look into the hitching... Is it just there during the first sync, or still present after the first 5 mins?

what about the dailer theme.
When I installed nAa's port recently published for our Mini Pro's, I noticed there was no way to use Market, register a Google account, or use any of the Google services that comes by default on most ROM's. This is because Google Apps are protected by copyright, so Cyanogen decided to wipe them from their official ROM. This can be easily solved by flashing them, and although this is very simple and easy, I found that there isn't much talking about this. Also, I saw there was some people asking and getting no answer, so I'd like to share this. Yes, flamers, even if it is REALLY easy or whatever you may say.
First of all, click this link. Here, you will always have the lastest version of the package, so don't worry about the dates. Then, scroll down and click the Download link, like this:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: Ignore the other downloads. EDIT: Unless you want other versions of Android. In that case, go to the bottom of this post.
You will get a file called "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip". Well, just flash that (Install as any other Custom ROM -DON'T WIPE-) and then, when you turn on the phone, you will get the default setup where Google configures your account and download Google Apps such as Market.
Hope this can help someone c:
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Times goes on, and technology advances at insane ratios. Ice Cream Sandwich's CyanogenMod version is here, and so are its Google Apps. We, on the X10 Mini Pro community, have actually the option to install ports of this great Android mod on our phones thanks to the awesome developers we have. Some of us, like me, still decline to use CM9 or ICS ports (In my case, because of the awesome stability and every-day use of the Gingerbread ROMs out there), and thus you should know:
-If you are going to use an Ice Cream Sandwich(4.x) ROM, you should download the CyanogenMod 9 Google apps version.
-If not, if you still preffer to use a Gingerbread(2.3.x)-based environment, download the CyanogenMod 7 Google apps version, the one on the screenshot above on this post.
*I don't know your reasons, but if you would like to keep using an even earlier version, I'll list them for you:
Froyo(2.2) ROM, CyanogenMod 6 (Tiny version for our Mimmi -x10 Mini Pro-) is for you.
Eclair(2.1) is CyanogenMod 5 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Donut (1.6) is CyanogenMod 4 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Read ALL in nAa first post in MiniCM7 Rom thread. Look at instructions.

It just says "Flash gapps", it doesnt explain much further and that's what kept me stuck a bit. That is why I wrote this. Not the GREAT guide but will save some minutes of research to some people...
And there is a download link too ;-)

I think if we read carefully nAa said at his post we got no problem for gapps. From 1st flash until now I have no problem on it
Thanks!
There were android ics 4 apps too on the list. have you tried any of them? Just curious.

Lol, market xd Not all GApps are on that package, just the basic ones. Every other Google App you need, you should download it from the market individually.
i cant. The market app doesnt show gmail and through the "web browser" market on my pc it says my device is incompatible.

Describe in detail your problem so I can add it to the main thread c:
I have a bit of a n00b side question i'm afraid. I've flashed a ROM which I love but how do I selectively flash gapps, the Nexus 4 comes without the native calendar, email etc apps, but if I flash the latest gapps these are flashed back onto the device (obviously). What is the best approach get this ROM with the latest Google services apps and not AOSP apps, I want Chrome, Camera, Calendar etc. Should I just not flash gapps and use Titanium back and backup user + system apps or just flash the ROM and then download them from the play store?
Thank you nico, Now i understand why gapp exists!

I followed instructions from a youtube video and installed CyanogenMod 9 on my HTC explorer. Before that I rooted my phone and wiped out factory cache, dalvik cache etc. I also installed one of the gapps-ics-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip (do not remember the datestamp) in the recovery mode by selecting the zip file from mounted USB storage card. Now how should I get back my backed up apps/data and google play to install more ?
N.B.; I took back up using Titanium Backup prior to taking all these steps.
Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.

Sachin.
Thanks Nico,
Almost 2 years later this is still useful info. My first custom Rom install since honeycomb tablet and I had know idea how to flash gApps. Should have guessed from term "flash" that you use recovery but there seems to be a dearth of details. Your post was first google hit.
Sorry for the late responses, I had totally forgotten about this thread! I don't actually know if this will be useful for the ones who asked the questions, but anyways I'll answer them here in case someone else needs them.

Wow, didn't expected to get first place on Google haha Thanks for the appreciation. Yeah, it is not that hard, but I had little trouble doing it while I was new. It's important to understand not to wipe again to flash gapps also!

It depends on how you backed them up on Titanium. Maybe you did a full system backup or just app-per-app backup. If you did a full System backup, try to restore only Data, look into options, custom restore, something like that, there's probably an option there to do that -I usually don't use Titanium haha-. If you did the app-per-app, just look into the list of apps, go to the bottom of the list, and there should appear the apps you backed up, tap on them and restore them with their respective data.
BTW, for the next time, I suggest doing a backup from the Recovery menu, and then do a custom restore > restore Data. Data is where your personal stuff is saved, so no system files will be affected. It may pass down some bugs or troubles because of incompatibility between your backed up ROM and your new one, but normally that doesn't happen.

MD5 is just a file that makes sure your file is not corrupt. If you flashed a corrupt file, you could mess up your phone entirely without any chance to turn it back, so it is important, but you don't have to care about it because it gets checked by the phone itself.

I think you can get the APK for specific apps inside of the ZIP file that you download from Cyanogen, but I don't know if you can just install them right away. If you want to try, just extract the files, delete the APKs of the apps you don't want, and compile it again.
Even though, you actually HAVE to install Google Apps because you need, for example, the Play Store. There's no problem though with having both Google and Nexus apps (Which I think should be the same ones, being the Nexus like the "official" Google phones), I am pretty sure you can install all of them without getting original ones replaced and then deactivate the ones you don't want to use on the phone's Settings, in the Application Manager.
I hope my answers someday help someone. Regards, Nico.

Notes
QuickMemo will not work - need orig lge-res.apk
Smart Notice may be broken, or not fully functioning.
TE to V3
Gotta have my QuickMemo - This converts TE to an odexed ROM.
Basically the same as TE-V1. Guest mode works in this version also.
Downloads:
BarePapA-V1 - Mostly just the bloat removed. Concierge, Weather, Smartcards are still in this one.
BarePapA -V2 - All extras removed
BarePapA-TE-V1 Themers Edition - somewhat deodexed
BarePapA -V3 - ODEXED - This requires installing TE-V1 CLEAN. Then dirty flash this. It is not a complete ROM! If you have TE already installed, then dirty flash should be fine. This is in-between V1 and V2 as far as apps are concerned. Guest mode is fully working.

If you still have Sprint boot ani and want to remove it:
If you want to remove the Sprint bootani. Or just be able to install a custom bootani. You will need to do this:
1. In a rooted explorer, go to /carrier/cust/poweron/ and delete those files so the folder is empty.
2. Then do the same with /carrier/cust/poweroff.
3. Go to /system/media and delete the "Sprint_bootanimation.zip". Make sure you leave the "bootanimation.zip" in there.
4. If you don't have anything in the /carrier/cust/ poweron/poweroff folders, don't worry.
If you use Flashtool, they will be there again. That's the only way to get Sprintbootanimation back.

Thanks for all the work Engine!

I must flash the modem after flashing the rom?
Your decision really. I don't think there's much difference between them. But who knows.
At least we have 2 choices now for lollipop.

Is Wifi Calling removed in this? I see WifiOffloader was removed, but not sure what that is.

It's still there. Don't go by the apps removed.
Edit. It's enabled in the status bar. No longer an app. So to speak.
If you don't have it, read the OP in the stock zva thread, I think.
Installed perfectly...like always. Thanks for all your hard work.

Awesome I didn't install it yet lol I was concerned because I have to use Wi-Fi calling if I need to use my phone at work. I generally have no signal otherwise.
Now we just need nAvel Kernel! lol

WifiOffloader is Sprint Connection Optimizer. Be glad it's gone. It's a RAM hungry beast :silly:
Also, props for this. Exactly what I wanted. Slimmed down a bit but everything working.
If I wanted to add LG Health back in, do you know what files I would need for that? It's the only LG app I actually use/like.
You would need at least...
lifetracker
Concierge
My Heath
At the minimum.
It's probably easier to install V1, then remove the apps I have listed. But be careful of any of the overlay files and the LIA....
along either LG AP???
Ok check this out. I have been thru hell and back rooting and activating this G3 to ATT ST sim the last 24 hours - not to mention the damn edits for apns and network swaps and finally I got Twrped... In all the volumes of threads I have read I haven't seen where to store our .zips prior to flashing a new rom. I have been out of the game for a minute and although it's good to be back I am wary because I am used to always having my external sd and a computer with Wi-Fi. I am Zv8 but 5.0.1 so is this even the right rom or should I dig deeper...? I just need stability and a wee bit of guidance. Twrp recovery is awesome but Damn is it trippy and if I know where to store the Rom.zip and modem I will feel more comfortable wiping everything as my nandroid is at least a functio ing rom with signal...
I know it's totally noob and shiz but my poor brain cannot digest anymore. But I am so look close! Anybody? And thanks for the patience AND understanding!
Just a quick question
Version on my phone is reading as 5.0.1, but IIRC this was a slight bump to 5.0.2. Is that normal?
Thank you for this! Just flashed and everything went smooth. I did flash the ZVA modem after the ROM and now that I'm attempting to re-install my apps, I have noticed the data is horribly slow. Took ~90 seconds to down Titanium Back Up which is only 7mb. I'm flashing back to ZV8 (fairly sure I had ZV8 prior) now and data should be back to normal.
EDIT: Flashed ZV8 modem, still really slow data. Not sure what the deal is, going to let the phone settle and see if that helps any.

Anything gsm, I can't help you with that. Maybe for you, pull the ext sd out just to take it out of the equation.
Then do everything with internal sd.

Make sure you update profile/prl after installing the modem. My reception always sucks. So I never know if it's better or worse.
Maybe try flashing the zva rpm,tz partitions? I haven't even messed with those. I just made then flashable just in case.
You can revert back to the zv4/6 ones if need be. I think they're in the zv8 threads.

I did update the PRL/profile afterwards, both after ZVA and after I went back to ZV8. No real change in speed. The LTE star almost never stops spinning... I tried to install the Nest and takes forever to start actually showing it downloading, finally it did and least 1min into it I'm at 448KB. I'm fixing to flash the ZV8 partition and see if that helps. If nothing, I'll do another full wipe and install again. BTW I'm coming form latest BarePop prior to BarePapA

Well, you can always try, ##UPDATE# in the dialer. If no luck, then, ##SCRTN#. These 2 are pretty safe. But always make sure you have a backup EFS.

WOW!!
I did a clean install of this yesterday and I must say GOOD WORK!!! running great and buttery smooth as usual!!

Thanks! I was just in the process of pushing autoprime's ROM when I saw you created this one. I'll test it out now.
Is the ZVB modem in your folder the same as from autoprime's thread? Any reason to NOT flash it along with the new ROM?

I never understood what those partitions were or why I'd need to worry. A while back I did a full wipe and nuked my whole phone, so I did a stock recovery using LG's tools and factory images to zv4, I believe, then went from there through BarePop and BarePapA. Coming from that I should be okay, right?

autoprime explains those partitions in his thread. But those of us on ZV4 bootloader seem to have issues with them.
It won't hurt anything to flash ZVB. And if there's issues, just flash back to the ZV4 ones.
ATM I'm still using ZV4 partitions.
Check out prime's thread fo some info on them.
You shouldn't have any issues. Just do a clean install As this is a whole new ROM
It's basically prime's rom with the fixes we like added. That's all. Bone stock with some sweetness.
V1 is in the works and it'll be starting on the cuts and tweaks. I thought I had it about ready, but it broke WIFI Calling so I need to start over. Gimme a few days.
So im using aosp rom and wanted to know if i can just flash the modem in recovery to update it?

Since this wasn't a major android update will NavelA kernel work with ZVB? I was asking because i know on my s4 i could do that with some updates that didn't have any big changes lol or would it cause it to not boot properly?
Edit: i tried NavelA kernel with Autoprimes ZVB rooted ROM and it works fine

At least one more. But not minimalist. Mostly weather, concierge and the LG tattletales.
But that'll all depend on what breaks doing it. I like to keep it all working if I can.
In post #2, I have added "Ad Blocking" and Stock host files. I absolutely hate ad's and the Blocking one blocks about everything, without needing an app. 2 problems though....
1. Some find them too restrictive and can't get to sites they normally would.
and
2. I seem to forget to remove it when I release a ROM. So these are here for... not if, but when I forget.
Is there a sprint changelog for zvb or something? searching about trying to figure out what is different in this update... appreciate all the time and work spent on us sprint folk. Thank You.

Just so I'm making sure i have it right, the blocking ones are in the rom by default? Just wondering because i just finished installing V1 and all my apps and I'm getting ads.
On that note, i just want to say thank you for yet again providing us with a smooth stable rom. For taking the time to make it and upload it for us. It is truly appreciated as i flashed the stock one this morning and OMG I forgot how much crap they put on these things.
Anyway, thank you for making my phone usable.

It's the regular ones. I'm almost done with V2, and yeah... I left them in there. But the regular ones are back in now.
Anyway, there's no issues flashing these back and forth. The host files that is.
Thanks. Glad to hear it. Yeah, I can't handle bone stock either. That's why I get these base roms out so fast.

Thanks. I briefly looked at source last night, and there's about 3mb more in size. So I would guess quite a bit has changed.
Also, because you called me out in it in the past, zipalign and sqlite3 aren't executable either. I tried a few different ones with no luck.

We're back, boys!

THE FIRST EVER CUSTOM ROM FOR A95X MAX!!
• Android OS version: 8.1.0
• For devices: A95X MAX
• Recovery: AOSP
Those who don't have it, you can buy from this link. Probably the most popular S905X2 TV box with HDD and SSD Support and really fast and stable!

Attention:
I don't force you to use the ROM. It's stable and can be used as daily driver except for a few things.
If you don't like something, please ask me on how to remove/add it.
atvXperience and nobody from the team nor the forum moderators are responsible for bricked devices. But we always try to help as much as we can

v3A
NOTE
The first boot will take a lot of time! Screen will be glitchy, bootvideo will be laggy and you may not even see anything except for black screen but this is normal and doesn't affect the device in any way. This only happens on the first boot because the encrypted kernel and bootloader try to reject the device but it boots anyway and everything will be OK in the second boot.
v3A
• Based on latest AndroidTV OS, latest Security patches.
• Google Play Works
• All Google Apps Work!
• Recommendations work great! To turn off go to Settings - Home
• Casting Works with Airscreen
• Fully Compatible with A95X Max!
• atvXed up with Multiple USB drivers!
v3B To-Do:
Add USB drivers
Add Navbar and Status Bar
Change Settings shortcut to TVSettings
Change App Drawer Wallpaper
Add some more preinstall apps

Rom is *meh*, as it completely throws away the stock android Oreo layout and switches to a straight up TV Box setup like a Roku. Most apk's refuse to work with this setup. The included Youtube app sucks and needs to be REMOVED FROM THE ROM as a system app or at least replaced with YT Vanced. Also, Chrome is simply gone...and you cant find it in the "store" either. The apk can be manually installed with a USB/SD card. Netflix app installed within the store does not work with this rom so its like what are we doing here?... but there is a work around. There is no option to boot straight to recovery either, if there even is one. We need TWRP for this to let us do what we want...Get rid of the Android TV BS and let people install their own launcher and you will profit more than just re-skinning the stock OS with this.
Then don't use it... I use it because of the Android TV layout. He was very up front in the beginning as to what this was and what would and would not work. No 3rd party box is going to work with Netflix or Amazon Apps at this time due to widevine DRM.
If what you have described is what you want, then by all means make your own ROM.

Read the title again maybe?
This is an AndroidTV OS and no it's not BS. Maybe it's only you who likes to use a mouse and keyboard on a tv. This is meant for those who don't want the airmouse BS and want a clean look, to have the real AndroidTV Box and not just a phone-UI Android Box and not the *meh* launchers that are meant for phone screens.
All apks work, if it works in the phone rom, it works in ATV. 'Maybe' you're doing something wrong or lack the knowledge of apps installation.
The google play store is meant for AndroidTV, it shows apps which are compatible with your remote, not mouse or keyboard.
Also, Netflix thing, everybody knows you need a Netflix certified box for it, it's even mentioned on their website.
And everybody knows you can use Aptoide Store for other apps that aren't on play store.
If you want your own launcher, go ahead make a ROM but please don't call my work a 'simple reskin' because I am working my ass off for a box that's totally encrypted to the core and has a 'meh' phone UI.
So, please don't think I'm playing copy and paste here, I've worked hard on this and if my work is *meh*, please use another ROM (if it exists).
Thank you for the feedback on v3A

Did I ***** and complain? I simply stated some of this rom's caveats and giving a heads up to people who might prospectively install this not realizing its going to completely change the OS to a dedicated Kodi box.
No browser at all? Youtube that you cant get rid of? If you dont like my opinion you can straight up not listen to it. I doubt you even installed it in the first place or you wouldn't be responding with your sh*t posts.

You can install Puffin Browser from Google Play. It's the best TV Browser out there, 100% remote compatibility.
It's pre-rooted, you can easily uninstall YouTube if you know what root means. AptoideTV Store is there to help.
I thought I included webXperience, It's our own browser. If I didn't, I'll do it in the next release which is going to shut everybody up because as I mentioned, this is the first release and the next will be address all the issues you mentioned and the features that I mentioned.
If you want a phone rom on a tv box, please go elsewhere because this is an AndroidTV thread, please don't argue here, the mods take notice of everything.
Thank you for understanding.

I am familiar with rooting aka administrative privileges over apps/os and have had many phones/tablets/matricom boxes all eventually rooted with either magisk or super su, some I actually paid for. This rom doesnt allow me to uninstall anything, just disable which is not the same. How can I grant root access to any app, such as bloatware removal tools? There is no root management on this thing. (that I am aware of?) and there is no recovery I can see to get into to flash anything besides the temp TWRP method with an sd card + paper clip which has not worked with anything on this rom.

Try switching on the root switch from settings and reboot.
Another tip, install SuperSU 2.79 and it will fix your root management issues.
The recovery is stock, just like the original ROM. Use quick reboot app to reboot to recovery.
If it still doesn't work, I'll double check and fix anything if wrong. As I said, this is the first release so expect issues unless you know how to fix things but don't worry, the v2B or v2F (whatever I name it) is going to fix all the issues. Trust me, you'll never feel the need to use Navbar and Statusbar again with the new build.

Switching off/on root switch doesn't do anything even with restarting.
SuperSu 2.79 does not successfully flash in temp TWRP with paperclip method or with stock recovery (see pic).
Since there is no root management, quick reboot and other root required apps install but dont work.
Ad-Away also will not save host files either, and I prefer to use that in combination with chrome over Puffin.
If I pissed you off with my earlier post, I apologize and that was not my intent. I understand this rom is pretty much in beta at this point but its very frustrating when nothing works for me, pretty much at all except for what worked with the stock OS.
FYI I have the v81 board.

You are not supposed to flash super su. Just install it.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't install either way (flashing vs apk).
All I can think of is to completely re-flash the new link firmware over my version I installed when you made it first available, maybe there is a difference?

Thanks for letting me know, it's strange it's not working for you. My friend reported it working. I'll fix the su in the new version. Meanwhile, you can flash stock rom because I don't want you to get any issues.
New build will be ready in a week or so and it's going to be great!
Thanks for all the feedback.

Thats fine, so now we know why I was a bit brash in my original post.
It still needs a bit of polish. Thanks for you work.

If you watch this video, you can see that Nicholas tested that the ROM is rooted. That's why I said, I don't know why it's not working for you.

Maybe you can try switching root switch off, reboot, then on and reboot.
I'll update the su anyway, nobody should be getting any problems but this box is one hell of a fighter. They've encrypted everything! I could only get access to system because kernel, recovery and everything else was encrypted.

Re-flashing the newer firmware link over last weeks firmware link allowed SuperSu apk to install successfully. Apparently we are good to go now...

Sweet!
Do lookout for new version as it will include these features:
1. Replace settings shortcut with TV Settings
2. Include pre-install apps like Web browser, Netflix and other apps.
3. Double tap home button for Recent Apps and use arrow keys to clear the apps.
4. Hold Power button for quick shutdown.
5. Add Init.d tweaks for more performance.
6. Add Back-Panic Button.
7. Hold Back button for assistant.
8. Add Navbar and Status bar functionality (if possible)
9. Add Gamepad drivers

I spoke too soon lol. SuperSu 2.79 installs after a fresh firmware flash but bootloops (waiting 20 minutes and still stuck on logo screen). Re-flashing and installing SuperSu 2.82 does the same thing. Oh well.
Re-flashing the image brings its back but just beware root doesnt work. I give up, good luck to everyone getting root.
