It is a nice target and does have Android 11 but it is SEI Robotics like the older ONN, CCGTV, and TiVo 4k so maybe not. It doesn’t have TF either but it does have a reset hole, so if you own it give it a try.

I have not, just seen the review, and cos S905X4, just thinking, maybe there is a chance to install CE.

Ok, I got the box, and its really nice. Vanilla Atv 11 firmware. Need some improvements.
But today Im able installed CoreElec matrix stable, with one 32gb usb3 pendrive. Generic x4 dtb image gb lan 4g. Looks like all works good. Have gb lan, wifi, bluetooth. All my sound and videos play perfect. Dual boot work properly. Reboot to Atv works too.
Just the factory remote not working. I need use one G 20 pro gyro remote. :sunglasses:

Very interested, is it able to install CE-NE and support Dolby Vision?

There is no dolby vision under CE, just HDR.
Dolby vision plays fine when I boot into ATV 11 stock firmvare, in Kodi, and in the streaming apps, this is any licence things I think…

Hi, anyone has a remote.conf file for generic Google tv g10 remote? Seems like remote for MECOOL KM2/KM2 PLUS . Tryed the bluetooth pairing, but not good…This box use that, and I would be try. in CoreElec too… Thank you.

Maybe you are find some way to run uname -a on Android? Or any other Kernel information is available? Like what version and it 32 bit or 64 bit?
Is there a IMG from Android available for download?

I tried from system/etc. but restricted folder under ATV11. No firmware public source available yet. Firmware is 32 bit anyway.

We also have 32but userland but 64but kernel. There will be no public source for sure but is there a compiled IMG for flashing the device?

And you need to be a bit more in detail why you are sure it’s 32bit…

Here some infos about…








i got the same homatics box R 4K Plus, but it does not matter which DTB file i use… i cant get network through wired…
What did you do to get this working?

Nothing. Just installed the generic matrix build…My wlan not connected, during the first boot, maybe try switch off, and stay just Ethernet active. I have no idea.

yeah thats what i did… did you put a DTB file in the root?

Yep, nothing special. Normal coreelec install… But I remind, maybe after the first reboot, come up message, that dtb renewed, or repaired… Maybe not important. But in the beginning, I have gb Ethernet, without issue… Just one thing is other, like my another boxes, during the boot, I have boot messagelist links, with CE logo, until kodi start. I cannot read, but all green Ok.

enabled ssh through wifi.
Ethernet does appear to be there… but not visible in connections…
