I’m looking for someone that can write / edit firmware for Android. Specifically the menu that appears after you boot up an Android TV Box. Nothing too complex; I just want to customize the menu for my TV Box. Or if you can point me to any tutorials so that I can do it myself. TIA.

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist!
I don't know if that would count as editing the firmware per se, more like hacking an APK (unless it is indeed more low level than an app). In that case, a tool could be helpful.
Not knowing the model name of your TV box means I cannot provide a direct result, but check this forum out:
> Android TV and Stick Computers > Android Stick Computers
Please note, you will need to be an XDA member before you can post.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi Folks,
Looking for some advice...
I'm looking to create a full backup of my android "Smart TV Box" I have just installed all the programs including xbmc for the wee man in his room and kids being kids at some point he will no doubt wipe something or worse end up with a corrupt boot rom etc. I see there are many programs that will allow you to backup the unit if its routed. Is there a way of backing up the full rom without routing the unit so I can reload the firmware when needed as well as all the installerd programs & settings? I have ordered another unit for my daughter and would like to flash it also with the rom on this one to save me endless hours of reprogramming?
thanks in advance.
I have enclosed some info on the box in a pic :cyclops:
Hi,
Personally I know nothing about the TV boxes, but I know Android. I doubt you will accomplish what you want to do without rooting.
That said, you would be best served asking for help here....

Good luck!
Thanks KJ
Hey guys, I'm not new to rooting as I've done many devices, but I have to say the project I have now seems impossible. ...
I have and Android double din radio that I purchased of of Ebay, it says it is running android 4.4.4 jelly bean...It has so many restrictions, I can't access bluetooth settings/but will connect to any cellphone with no problems. ..and the USB access is very limited as the manufacturer seems to have hidden these features to make more profit on THERE OWN OBDII sacanners and tv box etc that you HAVE to purchase from them ONLY!, or those features WILL NOT work....
I love the fact that I have android in my car but this limited access is very annoying.
ANY help would be appropriated, thanx!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and it's difficult to direct you towards a specific thread since you give so few details about your device but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the dedicated "Android Auto" Forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/, maybe in the "Android Head Units" subforum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you.
Good luck!
got it!
I did end up rooting it!...I used (Root Checker) and I am officially rooted...
But, I am still having a problem finding away to access the Bluetooth menu in settings/wireless & networks....
Any ideas?

Hello again.
On a traditional Android device, Bluetooth is typically an entry under "Network Connections" or a similarly named menu. As mentioned earlier we cannot provide technical support here on XDA Assist, but if you ask in the forums mentioned earlier, another member may be able to assist you.
Once again, good luck!

My name is Hina Oken and I'm on my way to become a developer,some one please send me a link of gravity box for android 5.0 as I'm having difficulty finding it.THANK U
Hello
Thank you for using XDA Assist
The first step in becoming a developer is to research.
The XDA site has several different search engines built in. By simply Typing Gravity Box it comes up.
Requesting links is not something which goes over well with users here, they are all willing to help as long as you show that you have attempted.
Good Luck

Hi i am new to the site and noticed you have quite a bit of experience with android studio i am new to this, and i am creating my first app hopefully. I have created my main page and a splash screen that part is done. But i would like to know how to create a page which you could add a + to a circle image e.g pointing out distances and then being able to add text by the user e.g if you anyone could help me with the code that would be great has i have looked all over the net looking for some kind of info on doing this but struck out. Has i am trying to make like a reference app putting an x which marks the spot sort of thing if you get my drift.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for help and this is the last place i'm having hopes for..
I have native android app that was developed by me. and my company wants to put this app in tablet so then the app has true kiosk mode, loading on the start, auto-updating (somehow?? today I'm checking it with api call and forcing users to go to google play)
The current kiosk mode i have - isn't working that well across all the devices, Some tablets like samsung 8 inchers will cause app to crash on requesting device administrator. Some tablets don't allow me to disable turn the screen back on if user clicked on the button.
We would also like to add some AdMob and AdColony SDK's there but now the issue is that if either of this networks has a link to google play or just a web link it fires intent and kicking chrome instead which knocks my app to the background in some devices.
What do we need to do from here? I mean what do we need to find to get it done? We would be buying some specific tablets for that too so I guess we can modify ROM if that is required but I'm really don't have any clue where to start here.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
