Meson is laggy like shit compared to amremote. It’s not only mine experience 
Try you will see a difference for sure!
If you open the file there is couple buttons which needs to be remaped with keymap editor addon.
Or if you find suitable action ID you can do it right in a file itself.
Attached my gen.xml from keymap editor.

I have a 4GB/32GB Vontar X4. Just installed CoreElec to a uSD card, booted up into it and it has got a DHCP IP address from my Mikrotik router on boot up. It has the same IP address leased to it as it did on the initial boot into Android I did to check the box, and has the same MAC address.
Both in Android and CE it is flagged as Gigabit on the Unifi switch it is plugged into.
Will test it with iperf when I get a chance, and try to get IR remote and the front panel LED display to work. If anyone has any hints for either of these on the Vontar box - let me know!
(I could do without the brass-effect plastic - but so far this box looks to be the best, and cheapest, S905X4 box I’ve had, and it arrived to my home in the UK a fortnight earlier than predicted by the AliExpress seller. The Tanix X4 I had was 100Mbs, and an earlier X96 was similarly challenged and had the world’s most annoying LED lighting effect ring)
**EDIT - now having trialled it a bit more - it seems to have some issues with the latest ng nightly… Looks to be - surprise surprise - network related… Haven’t got time to look at dmesg or logs yet - but SMB access is very slow **
I have a Vontar X4 as well and have been trying several images for the last month now. The Nexus (ng) nightlies were the first ones to grant me working gigabit Ethernet although very unstable. Now after some releases it seems stable enough to use daily. A couple of interesting things: Whenever Ethernet is fully functional I get a 3 to 4 reboot “allowance” before it craps out on me. Then i have to reboot to android and back to coreelec for the network interface to work again. Somewhere along the line I noticed that kernel messages run through the coreelec loading screen on boot whenever the Ethernet port works and the image is just still when it fails. Could be imagined though… Audio seems to crash every now and then, giving only distorted sound, which is now my only reason for a reboot.
Also I was wondering if there is still support for wireless xbox 360 controllers. I used to connect a (knockoff) wireless receiver with hwid 045e:0291 but it is not detected at all when plugged in (no kernel messages or lsusb registers whatsoever) I tried activating some kernel modules like xpad, but this didn’t change the outcome. Any clues as to what might be the problem?
Looking forward to the NE releases!
Thx!
All my HK1 X4 JL2101 network issues have been resolved for months and ensuring that I have saved a good mac address. Mine all have bogus 02:… addresses in CE.
This is how I do it from the first install. I used to use the ethaddr variable but that gets lost after reflashing Android.
mac=##.##.##.##.##.##
fw_setenv cmdline_keys 'setenv region_code US; setenv bootargs ${bootargs} mac='$mac''
fw_setenv mac $mac
@Portisch explained another way with config.ini that should survive Android (but not a full image)
What version of CE are you currently running?
One post above yours it’s solution to a remote. Vfd is easy as well. Kf you need more than clock install OpenVFD amd copy my file attached to zip
You need keymap editor to get keymaps working One before last is mouse button and works only once until restat of kodi

How much did you paid?
I’m running nightly ne from 16 december installed to internal. No hassle and lightning fast 
Thanks for these - will work through them and the thread.
I paid £38 for a 4GB/32GB model with a regular IR remote on Ali Express, which with taxes came to around £47.
Thats a good deal! 
Got one here in Ireland delivery next day for 65€.
Installed tiny fan on top of it from very old hard drive on day one…
Temps reaching 95 degrees when playing 4k content
It’s behind telly hence I dont care about look 
Mine took a couple of weeks. Original delivery date was estimated Dec 23rd, then Dec 30th, then Jan 5th. Arrived on Dec 20th…
Happy days! Enjoy
NE is coming soon and I’m really impressed with how stable it is!
I got one already as it’s available for khadas
If you dig enough you’ll find it!
Be interesting to see if the Vontar IR receiver is OK with my TiVo V6 remote. That’s my favoured Kodi remote these days - good for PVR stuff. Old Sky HD remotes are also pretty ergonomic and have the right mix of buttons - but I think the Tivo ones are better.
Can’t help you with that as I don’t have one
There is a big chance you will get it working following tutorials
I have just received my H96 S905X4 4 / 64 android box . I have install the slim room. But when i try to run coreelec its does not work. I tried sd card and usb. And my bootloader is not unlock. It still unlocked. What should i do.
So does anyone have a clue as to why every now and then a reboot into android and back to coreelec is required to fix ethernet functionality? (Vontar s905x4 with Nexus nightlies)
Never had to do it on my one. Only once didn’t pick ip so plugged out lan cable and push it back. Worked no problem. Since then I have manually set ip.
Running ne for about two weeks from internal memory and don’t have Android anymore on it.
Not a single hassle updated last night to nightly
Since switching to the ne version I cant connect to any wifi with my usb adapter, which was working fine on the ng nightly.
I was using the adapter only because I never managed to get the wifi running with higher speed than 6-11 Mbit on a 2,4Ghz network, because it wouldnt let me connect to the 5Ghz of my router.
I can connect to my mobile hotspot which is also 5Ghz but I have tried everything on the router already.
On android I can connect to any network and get full speed.
Can I provide any usefull logs to show the issues?
If you have ssh at hand run this 2 commands after reboot and post url you get
lsusb | paste
dmesg | paste
This needs external driver which doesn’t work yet with 5.4 kernel. Will see what I can do.
