Do amlogic-ng builds work well on GXL(S905X/S905D/S905W) devices?

[ Support for using an amlogic-ng build on GXL(S905X/S905D/S905W) devices is new and is currently only available in the nightly builds as of the 20200716 build. ]

To help people decide if they want to try using the amlogic-ng(4.9 kernel) build with their GXL(S905X/S905D/S905W) based device instead of the older amlogic(3.14 kernel) builds. I have created a list of devices that according to people that have tested the newer amlogic-ng build on these devices have found that it has worked good enough for daily use in their opinion.

Devices reported as working well with amlogic-ng:


  • Libre Computer LePotato
  • Khadas VIM1
  • Mecool K1 Pro S905D 2gb (DDR4 ram) / 16gb eMMC
  • T95N (M8S II mini)
  • T95m
  • WeChip v5 S905X
  • Abox A1 Plus S905x

If you have a device not on the list above that you have found works well enough that you would consider it ready for daily use then leave a message below with the name of the device, and any relevant information like if something worked better on the amlogic-ng build then it did with the older amlogic builds.

Note: even if a device is listed as working, different versions of the android firmware on the device may give different results.

Note: This thread is meant as an informative list of what users feel currently works well. This is not a support thread. If you need help with or want to report a specific issue please either start a new thread in the appropriate location or post in the nightly thread if the issue is with a nightly build.
