U9-H-CE FW001 Android 7.1.2 20191120 [Community Edition Nougat Firmware]

It had been a frustrating many months as my Minix U9-H didn't work as well as it should anymore. Over time, Netflix, Youtube and Plex became unusable and there was no alternative to update the new versions, because of the older Android version on the Minix.
I came upon this site as a last resort and hoping that I can give it another 1-2 years of life.
Took me a while to figure out how to make it work though.
I installed V6 first, and it looked exactly like the previous version.
Then I decided to try out V7. I love the look and feel, and I've managed to download the apps I use!
The unit seems a little slower though but still very usable.
Thanks for putting this ROM out to us. Glad that my unit has a new lease of life now!

Perhaps I might try to see if Chromecast or VPN works later on.
 
iam new to minix u9-h .kindly suggest me which filmware is better?fw008 or fw001?or its better to keep using preinstalled filmware?previosly iam using nvidia sheild with no issue.thanks.
 
Way too much work. Freezes at the splash screen or the "Android is starting apps" screen. It stopped working sometime in Jan. Has been sitting collecting dust. Decided to waste yet another Saturday. Followed all the possible solutions. Nothing. Waste of 175 bucks. I see many of you have time to dither around trying to fix these things. I don't. I have a life. I read one guy spent "day after day after day" trying to resolve his Issues. Nope. In the trash it goes. I'm done. Not at all happy with MINIX.

You just joined yesterday and this is your first post, but you're " done and unhappy " !?

Why trash it, unless you need Android 7 why not go back to this ?:unsure: It is very stable!!

Agreed @midnight , bloody hell lol ;).

Geeeees @joeshmoe , exactly how difficult would it have been to take the 5 minutes or less required to revert the device back to the official MINIX firmware & problem immediately solved? (In the time it took you to create a membership & post up your complaint you could have literally had the device re-flashed back to the original firmware. All would then have been well in the particularly busy world of "joeshmoe" again :).)

I also apologise in advance for my overt sarcasm or if you find my comments inflammatory but good grief, (some people) :). All you had to do was make a post briefly explaining your issues & simply ask for some advice on the matter. I'm sure someone would have been more than happy to help within an alloted timeframe for your busy schedule to get you back up & running again within a few minutes, & also saved you $175 smackers in the process.

One could also argue that if your life is so jam packed with other activities & pastimes; then how on earth do you actually find the time to sit down & watch a movie or carry out any other activities using a U9-H in the first place??? (Honestly, I'm truly surprised that you somehow found the time to create a forum membership & post your complaint.)

I also shudder to think of the extent of your credit card bills if you can so easily toss an expensive device straight into your trash can every time something doesn't immediately go as expected for you or it takes more than a few minutes to remedy any problems you may encounter. (On a sidenote, I could never quite get my head around the allure of those who like to partake in a bit of dumpster diving looking for lord knows what too, but thanks, you've at least given me a little clarity there as well lol ;).)

If you're lucky your refuse might not have been collected yet & there could still be some hope for your U9-H, (after it's been thoroughly disinfected) ;)!!!

You know where to find us if you'd like to make another attempt at resolving this problem (before you take your U9-H out to the backyard & shoot it), if time allows of course ;). We'll certainly do our best to help get you all sorted out & happy again :).
 
I have one Minix Neo U9-H with official firmware FW008. Overall I like it, unfortunately vertical scrolling does not work via airmouse in some apps (https://theminixforum.com/index.php?threads/impossible-scrolling-with-air-mouse.2906). Does anyone experience the same issue with CE FW001? Just to know if it's worth to do the upgrade.
you will probably just have to scan through the CE threads and see if anyone has reported similar issues or simply try it yourself ;)

Thank you for your help. I change the question: does any of you 9U-H owners have experienced the issue of the vertical scrolling not working via airmouse in some apps, whatever the firmware is? How did you resolve?
