After a lot of swearing, flashing, more swearing and flashing I finally managed to create a fully unbranded system that can be installed through TWRP. If you still know how the original X96 looks with the original firmware you will be surprised What has changed from the branded firmware: Bootlogo original SX.
Google bootanimation - that was the hardest part, allowing for a custom animation Media Box Launcher unbranded and with unbranded theme. Unbranded Kodi completely removed so the rom will comply with all piracy laws and restrictions - more in the added apps section. OTA updater removed. All programs from the branded version removed, so no social media, Chrome, Netflix and so on.
More under added apps. Added apps and modifications: Kodi was removed, but the install script for the addon packs is still valid. Kodi itself is not included. The additional apps I thought to be of use will be in the apps folder of the internal SD. In FX file explorer it is called "Main Storage". How to install SuperSU: All modifications to the boot image, scripts, libraries and so on are done and included.
This means the system is rooted except for the actual Superuser app. Install from the apps folder and let the binary update, once done reboot and enjoy. Not all ads in programs or while surfing can be disabled by AdBlock.
For example everything coming from "trusted sources" like Google will still be allowed. This is the only reason I included Lucky Patcher as it can be of use for some apps to enjoy without ads. Install and use at your own risk! Installation through TWRP does take a few minutes due to the hash verification. Since all included apps are integrated into the system the first boot is a bit faster compared to the above ROM.
And the additional apps land on the internal SD for everyone to choose or delete if not wanted. Please allow about 5 minutes after after the launcher selection appeared before you actually start using the apps - some things are still installing in the background! Once you finnished the network and personal setup of accounts and such boot into TWRP and make a full backup in case you need it.
A factory reset will set you back to the point of the installation of the rom - so no SuperSU and the added apps folder might be gone too. Known bugs:Just noticed the WiFi is not always available at first activation. As the chipset is identified during activation you might have to select the network twice until you see WiFi available.
Screenshots and sneak peak video:. Download the unbranded firmware from Filefactory. Here we have a new firmware fresh from China. They listened and gave us navigation bar and notification shade. Kodi was replaced by an updated Krypton version named KD Player. You can download the original OTA update here. Sadly the bootanimation is again fixed to the default somehow and I have no clue how to fix this. System runs very smooth and stable.
Beta 5 based on the above OTA. I did this so the rom can be installed on 1GB devices as well as to care for all those wanting to decide themself what they install on top of Android. In the archive for the additional apps you will find all that was removed from the OTA plus heaps more. Just unpack the archive and install the apps you want. Really desperate tweakers can also try the Xposed framework for the X Flash the included ZIP and then install the Xposed installer.
To make it all complete you can use this Kodi Addon pack. Here we have a version I made with videoboot. You can replace the one provide with your own MP4 file.
I did not see any real changes or even improvemnts in the OTA. The Music player randomly crashed, Kodi installed but refused to work, always a black screen as soon as a plugin was selected. Only real difference I noticed was an updated setup wizard for Google.
So I took this firmware as a playground instead of trying to fix all problems the problems were removed or replaced. The real benefit of this firmware seems to be a fix for the brightness bug. Kodi or Youtube now show vibrant colors with great contrast, black and dark grey are no longer the same : It also seems that Kodi is much more responsive and takes far less time to find streaming sources.
Notable things about this firmware: Fully rooted with SuperSu installed. FX File Explorer to replace the default. The usual fixes for keyboard and so on. Logo and animation change to the defaults instead of branded ones. Google keyboard replaced by the much smaller Hacker's keyboard.
Pulsar to replace the stock music player. VLC to replace the stock video player. Kodi Overall running nice and stable with no problems so far on my end. Boot with a toothpick to get into TWRP recovery.
I recommend a clean install after wiping Cache, Data and internal memory. The first boot takes some time, so be patient - once the CPU usage levels out you can do your personalisation, network setup, Google account and so on. Do's and Don'ts: As said a clean install is recommended but of course you can try without wiping if you want to keep your personal data and program settings. If you want to make sure your installation goes as planned then please follow this: Let boot until the CPU usage levels out.
Start SuperSu and update the binary - if this fails it means the boot was not complete yet! Now reboot the box. Setup your network, screen zoom, Google account and whatever you want to set up. Check the Apps folder on the internal storage in case you need some more apps like social media stuff Start the playstore and check for updates.
Start Kodi and wait so it can check for updates, start your favourite addon and check that it works. Be aware that at the first start Kodi will be a bit slow to response and might seem to have crashed once or twice. This is due to updates in the background - please wait until Kodi is responsive again, it can take up to five minutes! Once Kodi runs smooth the box should be ready to go, so please reboot once more just for good measure.
Do not try to update Google apps on this release as it will fail due to firmware restrictions. If you install the Advanced Power Menu from the Apps folder you need to start it once to give root permissions. I included it so you can directly reboot the box instead of just a power down. Netflix should work fine but as for Youtube I can not test 4k videos on my crappy TV.
How to make a working backup from your old setup: TWRP will make a backup of your system but won't include the so called Media section of the data partition. This mean you need to manually create a backup of your internal memory. I susggest to use FX for this and to pack the Android folder, Apps folder and all program folders you find and need on your internal storage.
If used also include the media folders for images, videos and so on. To get the backup running again first flash the backup with TWRP and then upack your secured backup of the internal storage back onto the box.
