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

Try setting the actual device display to 4K2K@60.
My TV doesn't support 4k resolution. It is usual 2k TV.
The CE ROM unfortunately didn't work particularly well with AVR's either so other than to help beta test & test the final release of the CE FW I discontinued use & remained with the official 6.0.1 FW for my subjective needs.
That is bad news (((. Actually, I tried to use AFRd application, and it became switching to 1080/24 automatically in Kodi, but it doesn't switch back to 1080/60 at all. So it doesn't work too. I didn't find a way to set it up correctly.
Is there any particular reason why it's absolutely essential for you to use the 7.1.2 CE ROM?
The player became extremely slow after a time. Youtube can start a minute, then show a message that it doesnt respond. The same is for Neutron player. So I decided that there are two reasons: extremely old android version and low amount of memory. I cannot add/replace memory, but I can update firmware )))). So I tried it. Unfortunately AFR functionality doesn't work properly. It worked fine in the original firmware, so I didn't expect such an issue. And nobody reported this issue in this topic ..
 
By the way... Is there a way to make VC-1 codec working properly? It freezes each second. And the image is constantly twitches. Other codecs works fine.

Did you consider simply factory resetting the official 6.0.1 firmware first to clear the slow loading or app not responding issues with a fresh start?

YouTube etc. loads in a perfectly acceptable & normal time on my U9-Hs with the official firmware.

I suspect your U9-H's Android OS had probably suffered some sort of corruption over time which was causing the slow loading/ANR issues. (A factory reset or reflash of the official firmware typically clears this up & I'd suggest you flash back to 6.0.1 in this instance :).)

No, I didn't try it yet. But now I decided to roll-back to the official firmware based on Android 6. Of cause, I wiped the user data and cache via recovery menu and then reset all data via android settings. Will see how it works now. Maybe wiping can help me.
One thing I see right now - AFR works perfectly again. But VC-1 codec still works bad.
 
Hi guys

After update the minix neo u9 to 7.1.2, my network don't work (Wifi but also Ethernet). I cleared the cash but still no internet.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks and greetings

Wi-Fi and ethernet are working just fine
Verify your connections again.

I can confirm the network issue!
When i leave my Minix on standby for a couple of days, and then start again, the network doesn't work. Either wi-fi or Ethernet is working. After a restart it start working again. This happens every time!
I will go back to the official build!
 
hi guys, i've just updated to 7.1.2, however, now the display doesn't calibrate properly to my 1080 tv, is there a way to manually align it through the display settings?
 
I'm new to updating firmware, so PLEASE bare with me.

At what point do we connect our minix box to the pc and are we to use our HDMI cord or any usb? Hell, I'm not sure if a USB came with my box when I brought it 4 yrs ago.

Can anyone help with a walkthrough because I really like my box and want to maximize its potential?

Recently i did upgrade firmware to my U9-H with CE FW001 (Android 7.1.2)
(must updated when firm was release)

Thanks for all, that create this build.

I'm using this guide to install new firmware:
After install, I notice: device is more snappy than before. Some apps not crashing anymore.
Kodi 19 work great
Bluetooth Gamepad, has less lag than before( in Snes9x EX+ app).
But it, when i chose to enter to Display Setting (connected to 4K TV), crashing
I forget to mention, im using clasic Android launcher, not Metro style.
Webcam Logitech C270 it's not working.
Microphone of cam working (but in general i'm using only the mic anyway).
P.S. My English was not great, and apologise for that.

Does this firmware upgrade solve the BBC iPlayer issue of sound only and frozen video.?
BBC iplayer will not allow use of previous 4.94 and starts update, so that route is closed.

I think is does as my in-laws have this firmware and are heavy users of BBC iPlayer and I haven't heard any complaints!


Regardig "BBC Iplayer problem on U9-H" Back in June I said this...
To be honest last week I put the U9-H to one side to concentrate on using the U22-XJ.
So if anything has changed since I won't have seen it, but my in-laws are still using their U9-H (FW001 Android 7 CE) and BBC iPlayer.
I can assure you, if they have issues I am the first to know! :giggle:;)
 
Hi there, is there a way you can enable touchscreen to work in this? it works on Android 6.0 FW008?

Thanks
