I tried too with no luck 
on NE
What do you mean NE kernel ‘more stable’. I’ve experienced like the opposite but I can not remember exactly why. I’m always returning to NG and have quite a lot different boxes.
anyone interested in testing a script for this box.
one person reported to have had success. on the s922x chipset people have reported to gain 25%
It works on Kinhank G1 - CoreELEC NG. I do not know if the device became more responsive. Did not do extensive testing. Certainly not became slower.
Can you post up the dtb so I can try on my G1 please?
Or send me a download link, thanks
Baz
Download here the so called Generic file.
Write the file to an SD card or USB device. You will find the necessary DTB for Kinhank G1 in the directory on the SD or USB respectively.
OK. So its been put into the existing Device Tree? OK, thanks.
If any update on these blocked G1 can be installed from recovery is not known.
If it can, then you’d need update files in the form that come via OTA updates (and in such a form can also update normal, not blocked, system from an uSD card) not in single.img form.
There are several ways to pull original firmware from a working Android box; you can pull all partitions or only the needed ones for system to fully boot to OS UI.
I have done that with several boxes some years ago following instructions from some Youtube video. There are several methods explained how to do it.
As I understand from Kinhank, it is not possible to go back to the previous version, I have not tried this, and we can try to install from recovery.
We can try if one of the device owners (with unlocked bootloader) helps us to make a extracted copy of the firmware
or any one can get firmware from support orbsmart same hardware
You can buy a new one and try 
A friend bought one from Ali, last week and it arrived naturally with old firmware. I set it up with CPM-A2 version and it works perfectly. It has 1Gb Ethernet and WiFi works.
When I compared it’s performance with identically set up Nokia 8010, I’m so sad that they fuqed up this cheep box because it’s better that Nokia 8010:
G1 works faster in UI; it opens all DV videos faster; it runs cooler; it’s IR remote command works without any problems; it has uSD card slot; it has power on/off switch; and it still costs half the price

So what? It will still play DV P7 FEL video until it dies.
Same thing with a 6 year old Sony UDP-X700 Bluray player; it will never get any update but will also play UHD BD DV P7 Fell disks untill it dies.

Maybe will be EOL…
But there is some light.

In case we will not be able to obtain a dovi.ko module compatible with the 5.15 kernel in time for CoreELEC-22.0, we may restore the Amlogic-ng builds for applicable SoCs only.

thanks for testing, theirs a script you can run if you have time and inclination that gives some data that you are running it. if you don’t notice the speed improvements then it’s fine. but if you do later let us know thanks
I was so excited about development on this box. literally the day before it got listed in coreelec they f us up! I’m glad you got it working for your friend but another posted his didn’t work and it seems it’s missing gig ethernet so it’s a lottery and the price reflects it
I thought your box got firmware update and you couldn’t install coreelec?
@frodo19 I mean it seems very very logical that this would have happened, is anyone really surprised? the s922xj has FEL and a speed bump of 25% , basically each s922xj is an upgrade, so that’s them sorted for another 5 years
Maybe you could ask @portisch how he made it work on NG?
Its not a big deal, to prevent android auto update. During the begin of fw installation process, unplug the box. The system will think the update corrupt, and will not install again automatically .
I made this in other box.
Of course just own risk…
And away from ATV and G software nightmares. Here is 3 modified G1 remote files BT, IR and fully customized gen keymaps to use with the device on CoreElec
G1 remote files
locations of files
*IR file- copy (remote.conf) to main (root coreelec partition) folder of boot media.
*BT file- copy (G1.hwdb) to Storage/.config/hwdb.d/
*keymaps file- copy (gen.xml) to Storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps
finally restart CoreElec.

have you tried
someone with G1 has and the script did what it was supposed to do but they didn’t really notice any speedup, though no speed down either, would be great for more testers.
Nothing, it just works. So someone need to compare the driver in Linux and find the reason.
