Hello,
I've been trying to make my own ROM, I think it can be more universal and more brick free if you don't mess with the bootloader and recovery. So to install this ROM, a precondition is to have TWRP installed (works fine with 3.1.1)

What is this ROM about?
Speed, light and Kodi free, although you are free to install whatever you want.
It comes by default with this pre-installed:
- Spotify ATV, makes it handy to use your spotify on the mobile phone and cast it directly to the EyeTV box
- ProgTV, The best all in one IPTV program, than can record whatever video it streams
- X-plore, all the needed protocols for a filemanager (It can connect Google Drive and Mega for instance)
- ScreenCam Screen Recorder, most of the programs won't work properly but this one does even with 1080p recording and low CPU usage
- Blokada, get rid of the hostfile filters you want without making any important program to stop working. It also let's you change DNS hosts for the ones you want with one click
- HappyCast, Although it has many chinese texts and videos, you only have to open it, then you can cast from iphone directly or other android phone, it accepts videos and photos as well
- MyTunerFree, all around world radios in this nice App, with Leanback integration.
- Gamepad Tester, this may help in adding an input device so you can control better your EyeTV
The App "QuickClean" keeps the lowest memory needed by the system, so for instance if any application is not responding you can run the app to close them, it will also close the screen recorder if you are recording.
Clean and fast logos on startup and bootanim. Builtin Off button that let's you shutdown or reboot also on recovery mode.
You can use another Android Device to setup the box like a TV (much easier than using the remote).
Known bugs:
(any help in fixing them is welcome)
1) Live TV channels do not show image on PIP
2) Live TV channels crashes Google Play when clicking on "more channels"
3) sometimes in the new interface "Settings" app, that is more TV friendly, crashes when accessing the Wifi settings
4) to have Pluto TV with 50 channels on Live TV, and Youtube App working, make sure you disable automatic updates on Google Play. For youtube it's possible to uninstall any update and revert to the ROM one.
5) the mute button on the remote does not mute as it should, tried about everything but it seems a bug in the amlogic sdk (I've never saw it working fine).
Android TV App command works fine, so you can use both iOS and Android apps to control the box. From there you can also use the Google Assistant with voice commands, just wait for the talk button to go red before you start talking (slow on iOS).
How to install:
Download:
from Mega
1) Use TWRP to install it or as OTA Local update.
2) Also in TWRP add Magisk if you need root.
3) Delete Cache and Data
First boot here took around 3 minutes, it can take longer but no longer then 5 minutes I think.
Tell me if you like or if you know how to fix any bug,
please don't blame me if you kill your box, there are risks when flashing a ROM. Have a TWRP recovery around just in case...
Have fun.
