NEO U22-XJ: 006FW (20210107) - Bugtracker [OTA Now Available]

can you not find it yourself...its in the firmware release section
I have this release. After installation, the device information displays as 003 and OTA suggested updating to 003a. Now it is unlikely that it will be possible to update like this. Or is it not so?

from the 003A thread

NEO U22-XJ 003A FW for Manual Installation

NEO U22-XJ 003A FW is available to download from below link:

https://files.theminixforum.com/shared/firmwares/U22-XJ-V003-Android_9.0-20200430.7z

Carefully follow attached installation instructions.

Even though the file is named V003 it is the same as 003A FW OTA.
003A FW = 003 FW except:
1.) OTA problem is fixed.
2.) CoreELEC fix is included in OTA
 
Just a friendly reminder for those who have coreelec installed via usb or sdcards. After the update to 006 you will have to follow the initial process of pressing reset button (next to wifi) to create a dual boot again (atleast thats what i had to do) Thanks
 
With Foxtel Go, in Australia, I have switched on Fake HDMI. When I go into Foxtel Go app, as soon as I pick something to watch or choose a channel, I get a pop up "You cant watch or download Foxtel on a Jailbroken or Rooted device!"
Any suggestions?
 
1) No. You will need to manually install FW006

2) You can try!
Before you do that, I suggest making a TWRP backup.

3) I believe so.

4) I believe the Root switch is all you need.

I have tried TWRP but I guess there are many files in the formatted sdcard with backup that it doesn't boot up the TWRP screen. Anyway, I upgrade to FW006 using the FOTA apps and it works (my apps stay intact). Although the screen resolution is now 2160p30Hz resolution (previously only 1080p60Hz with FW005), the screen still shrink (1/4 of TV size) to the left of my TV during bootup and I have to restart Minix to fix it.
 
Bug Report:
2. The issue of scrolling with airmouse in a lot of apps has not been fixed (text is selected instead of scrolling pages up, down, right or left)
You will have to do some research on .KL files and edit them yourself with root privilege. This is a recurrent issue with the U22 FW after FW. As much as Minix did an awesome job at taking care "generic" remotes for the U9-H, it looks like they didn't bother with the U22. That said, I saw some improvements with 006FW. So far I didn't have to restore my working .kl files with this update. Not sure if they were just not overwritten like before or done right this time. What apps are having the issue?

I also had some challenges with TWRP but finally got it to work. My TV stays black when booting in recovery/TWRP. I had to connect the U22 to my computer screen. Then I had an image but resolution and color were off, (you know like when we had a bent pin on a VGA connector?) it was barely readable but enough to backup. I don't know if it has something to do with the switching.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to edit the .KL file. I would like to do this if this can solve the "click and drag to scroll" problem.
The apps that are unusable with airmouse and "click and drag to scroll" are:
Amazon Shopping
Gmail
Samsung Internet Browser
Firefox (new versions, old ones work)
Microsoft Office
Adobe PDF Reader
Solid Explorer
Chrome and other browsers
Other apps that I don't remember now because uninstalled because they are unusable with airmouse. If anyone knows of other apps that don't work with "click and drag to scroll" I would be happy to write them here.

If you read all the messages in this post,

there are other apps used by other users who have the same problem. Marty has always indicated a possible explanation and solution in this discussion. It also seems that in other Android 9 boxes the "click and drag to scroll" works correctly.

After update, does anyone know the setting I need to get the frame rate to change when using Plex. I have fake hdmi on. I have tried everything both settings in Minix and settings in Plex. The best I can get is if I unplug my hdmi going direct to my tv while a movie is playing and then plug back in again, it changes. My TV is Samsung and only 1 year old. Also it doesn't switch at all using MX Player and others but on my Minix U1 everything is fine. Am I doing something wrong.
 
Strange problems with LG B8 OLED. Only the minix logo appears, but flickers and toggles the TV to Dolby Vision and then no picture at all.

There is 3 things I'm certain now after messing around with this matter for about a year.
1) It is NOT an OS issue.
2) Chromium based Interfaces "chucked" up the "click and drag to scroll". This operation uses different functions when performed on touch screen tablet or a phone. Google got it wrong with non touch screen/using mice. We Android box users represent an insignificant part of their user base, so they don't do anything about it release after release. Then it's up to the different branches to fix it in their Chromium implementation. So far the new Chromium based Firefox is so broken, that problem is the least of their concerns. (I reverted back to pre Chormium Firefox and got back the "click and drag to scroll" working just fine.
3) Unlike the U9H, MINIX didn't do their homework to support kind of "standard/common" generic Key Layout when they released the U22. So if you are using a Logitech input device or one of the gazillion Asian input devices that are using the same Key Layout then you are kind of in luck. There's only a handful of keys that needs to be remapped in the .kl file. to get the most of your input device (OK, Enter, +-Volume, +-Channel, "click-drag").

As for the MINIX fault(3), I'm not sure anymore. Because I didn't have to restore my .kl files after the 006FW update like I had to do after previous updates.
