Where can you find theese devices?
Very cool, so people desolder and replace the SOC?
Guessing this would work for any S905X2 device, replace with S905X2-K.
Wonder if this will work with S922 as well.
I feel like we’re probably heading towards devices with compatible -j or -k devices that don’t support Dolby Vision in Android and a big wink to the consumer about CoreELEC.
That would be crazy… And very cool.
Desoldering a BGA chip like that is not easy, but at the same time it is not hard. A heat gun, flux, and solder paste would make short work of that.
i think the firmware is also important，not any devices
i dont have s922x-j ，so i cannot tell.maby use kodinerds can test it.
All credit goes to the CoreELEC team.
Any other devices besides x96 max?
dont know so far，maby only require unlocked bootloader .cos x96 max just a common s905x2 tvbox.the first test board is this one.
someone says the Flowbox f1 is a s905x2-j tvbox ,if u can boot Ce on it.the box will be a choice.
Not likely, since it’s Netflix Widevine L1 certified box.
can upgrade N2+ to s922x-j ?
s922x-j is not alailable now.maybe u can get s922x-k to try.
another can fel s905x2-k box
