@funkyirishman - I think the issue is related to the Android System Web view, but I have to look into it a little further.

My to-do list:
Compile twrp for U9 on Nougat
Root guide for U9 on Nougat
Android TV ROM for U9 on Nougat
Fix bugs with U1 Marshmallow ROM
Android TV ROM for U1 on Marshmallow

Perfect

Would the U1 be able to handle a Nougat ROM ? No developer myself just wondering as thinking of upgrading my Minix
 
Sorry, but it's not possible. AMLogic did not release a Nougat SDK for the S905. To be fair, AMLogic did not release a Marshmallow SDK for the S905 either, but I was able to port over a ROM from another box where they did the work in-house, without official support. I just got lucky in that the box I ported the ROM from had similar hardware to our box.
Would this Fw work on other s905? I have a spare s905 box hanging around

Hi,
can I install the official version of the software again? I wanted to install this CFW because I thought that there would be possibility to install new versions of Netflix (> 6) but this is not true, your Netflix version is 4.8 unfortunetly. I prefer the official version because it seems to me more stable. Your version of the first day automatically restarted five times :(
 
Thanks for your work.

I couldn't find an article showing the installation steps here. twrp - root ?

If you make a video narration no one will make your device brick :(
 
Thanks for quick response. Does Netflix work? I could not find compatible netfix in version 5.1.1

Now I'm starting to install 6.0 rom.

Any ideas when you will fix bugs with the U1? Just bought a Nvidia and selling U1 to family member and they are not tech heads so was going to do a fresh install for them.

No worries if not I can just grab it back from them when there is

Cheers
