Does really no one has the same problem With NordVPN on x96?

If someone knows a fix would be really nice.

I’ve installed that version on the exact box from the picture and had problems with SPDIF out. It worked on stock rom, other custom rom based on android 9 but it did not worked on atvx. Everything else was working fine.

Regarding the question for VPN service, I also had trouble with PIA VPN on another custom rom when I was connected over Ethernet; didn’t find the solution. I never tried VPN service on atvx rom, because of spdif problems (removed the rom in about two days).

That was fixed a long time ago, I just don't have time to update the images. But I'll upload the fix a little later

Bug report: Within current ROM, in /vendor/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, "Key 16 Q" is missing.
Same issue with atvX v4.2 for S905W ROM.
ROMs other than the above 2 have not been checked.

Consequence: You are not be able to type "q" with a physical keyboard. You will also be getting trapped into vi without being able to quit with "q!".

The Generic.kl under /system/usr/keylayout is good. Users may do the following override copying with root as a solution:

Code: Select all

$ su
$ mount -o remount,rw /vendor
$ cp /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl /vendor/usr/keylayout  
$ mount -o remount,ro /vendor

It's strange that I worked days and nights on these builds alone, but the bug reports goes to Nayam

I am aware of this bug and has already been fixed. However, I haven't had time for the general IMG updates because, as already mentioned, I work alone

1. Download the new dtb partition
_aml_dtb.PARTITION

2. Copy the dtb into the /sdcard directory

Code: Select all

adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
adb push 'path/to/new/_aml_dtb.PARTITION' '/sdcard'

3. Update dtb partition

Code: Select all

dd if=/sdcard/_aml_dtb.PARTITION of=/dev/block/dtb bs=512 count=512; sync

reboot your device

Alternatively - repack IMG with this dtb
