Frankie 11 Report post Posted May 23, 2017 I have to root my 5.1 android software on my 1800e box because there's an app I have which won't work unless the system is rooted. If I use the IMG patch file in this thread, will it wipe my device? And how do I install it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope to have it switched to on demand with next release 2. This was addressed in a previous post. This has to be supported by the Launcher developer themselves, we cannot do anything for this as were not the developer for launchers like Nova, C-Launcher etc. 3. This issue is resolved just from setting the screensaver setting of Android to "Never". We can play Videos from Kodi for hours and hours on our boxes at the office and cannot reproduce this issue. 4.

Will try to get this added, but cannot promise. Great, thanks. The screensaver issue is when it's on (as in wanting to use the screensaver, if it's set to never then you can't use it) it shouldn't turn on when you watch video content in kodi. It should only come on when the system is inactive. Is this clear? I've brought up this issue before, but am assuming you guys aren't going to fix it. With the reboot option it was supported on the alternate launcher in 4.4 so don't understand why it's not in 5.1. I use square home tablet. Either way I did some research and I think I can download a reboot shortcut from the app store after I update to rooted. Is the core update going to be ota, or through this forum?

But why was it working properly with Kodi before my upgrade to Lollipop? And I imagine that it works fine with MX Player because of the software decoder (on the same 1800e)?

Frankie 11 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 When I play games on my 1800e on 5.1 they keep stuttering and lagging. This was never present when I was operating on 4.4. I don't understand why you can't just duplicate the core settings you had on 4.4 over to 5.1? So many things about this seem off. If you guys are worried about the hardware malfunctioning, wouldn't it be more likely to malfunction if all the stress is being put on one core instead of all of them? And what's the point of buying a more expensive box if it operates the exact same as your cheaper models? There's android boxes that sell for $60 that can perform at the same performance as this box given how the specs are limited. I really hope you guys aren't limiting the performance of the box just to provoke people to buy a newer model. That would be bad news. Or it seems like the developers created a one size fits all 5.1 firmware file, so the cheaper models run the same as the more expensive models. This way it's less work. I don't know if this is true, but I can only speculate. It doesn't make any sense that this problem would start happening on 5.1, which wasn't existent on 4.4. I'm finding there's a lack of transparency with the mygica team too. If no one on this forum can give a strong answer to what's going on with this, why not get a developer on here to explain it fully so it's clear. It honestly makes absolutely no sense that the hardware could handle using all the cores on android 4.4 but can't on 5.1. Also this shouldn't take months to figure out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good news is I have a new Beta FW + On Demand Patch. I am still waiting on 1 more update that will include the patch + fix IR Remote issue on KODI 17.3 when using return button/menu button and also rename the firmware Noticeable changes 1. Updated to KODI 17.3 2. Updated Google Play Services 3. Faster Performance 4. Fixed Mac Address changing 5. Turned off click sounds when browsing through the Home Screen + Android Settings 6. Fixed Screensaver issue when watching a video 7. Improved video playback 8. Improved standby issues as best we could. There is not much more we can do about this issue. You can install this IMG file using the UPGRADE APP that is pre installed on your box, and just use Local Update. Make sure to install 20170603.img first, and then the ondemand patch 2nd. PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR BOX PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR BOX PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR BOX The setting of HotPlug in the earlier version was not intentional I apologize for the big delay on switching it to On Demand.

frosty911 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 i downloaded and installed using the update software the box froze on the erasing screen so i unplugged and restarted. the box booted normally to my exsisting home screen. i retired the update and everything went smooth. the box rebooted and loaded up to ,y exsisting home screen menu. it did not reset my box. all my apps and short cuts are there. question is, should it have reset my box completely no ,atter what? is there anyway to tell that it is indeed updated? i looked in the settings menu under More Info and it looked to be the 06052017 date is there any other way to tell?
