Can you advise which custom ROMS for the T5 work better, and how do they work better ?
For instance does HD audio work, does connecting a VPN over ethernet work. ?
If so I would be willing to give them a go trusting that the update and back up app are on the custom ROM and work so could reflash the stock version
The definition of "better working ROM" depends on personal preferences and uses, doesn't it?
BUt there's no way to find out if it works better if you don't try it.
Let's say that I prefer the AOSP versions - I don't like Google's restriction with Android TV.
I use the box for IP TV, but it's difficult with the original ROM.
Even in the custom versions of Android TV ROMS, you have more freedom of choice.
But to be more precise: the version of superceleron "USERDEBUG" AOSP is completely functional, but
working with the stock version remotely is a sufficiently simple substitute for one file and a restart.
My personal favorite from all the ROMS is version ugoos' 3.7 version adapted to the TV box HK1 Plus from
XVortex - it offers more elaborate screen settings (color, contrast, saturation etc.), a working AFR,
a built-in server (Samba, FPT), a processor temperature and memory usage monitor according to your preferences
and, of course, a fully viable Google Play etc.
The WiFi and Bluetooth work, but the LAN doesn't, the stock remote works 100% after said file substition and the
light diode is reversed - it's red during power-on and blue otherwise. But I could live with that, personally,
if you take into account the advantages of the ROM. By the way, the boys at 4PDA managed to make an
Android TV ROM fully certified by Google. I tried it - it's virtually the same as the original Minix Rom,
with the same limitations and so on.
If the custom ROMs are better then surely there is no need to return to the original!?!
But who says that I need to return to the original? I just think it should exist as an option for someone, who does.
