Hey guys
I have been looking into getting an android tv box and was wondering what do you suggest thats at least 2gb ram , gigabit Ethernet
1. Can the devices be rooted and can we install custom roms such as Cyanogenmod?
2. easily customization and tweakable?
I would either recommend getting the openelec box (the Wetec) It comes running openelec which is basically a Kodi OS. The other 2 good options are the Nvidia shield or build yourself a small htpc. Maybe use a nuc or raspberry pi type of board. http://webshop.openelec.tv/

The nVidia Shield is running Android in the background, so I tought it would be great to run it in on my Android.
Would it be possible to extract the nVidia App or Rom and run it on an Android (Nexus 5) phone than attach a bluetooth controller.
I know there's some alternative like Slashtop and etc. but its just remote stream and its pretty slow compare to the nVidia solution.
I didn't saw any thread about that.
I've been looking for over a month for a quad core Android Tv stick or Box with an integrated DVB-T receiver but there is none on the market!
There lot's single and dual cores out there but if you want something more high end then you're out of luck!
Is there a way for an
Android TV box/Stick (exaple: K-R42 Quad Core Google Android 4.2.2 RK3188)
to support
a simple DVB-T dongle/stick/thingy? (example: Geniatech PT115m)
or just any kind of tuner?
Since there are lot's of tv tuner sticks out there for android tablets its logical that they could work on an android tv box or stick.
I'd be more than grateful if someone has the resources to test this out and share the results.
What are the compatible hardware?
How responsive actually is (if so working) tv browsing?
How about remote control, PVR, Timeshift, etc support?
Which app does this work with?
Wanna make a Media Center for my kid with XBMC and NAS.
Hi, I would like to have small ARM servers with Linux. I want Ethernet (RJ-45).
I do not need 3D acceleration. I must have working SD card reader, USB and Ethernet. WiFi support will be great bonus.
I found cheap (only $46) device Android 4.2 HD 3D TV Smart Box A20 on eBay. It has dual-core A20 @1.5GHz CPU, 1GB DDR3 RAM and 4GB internal flash. Hardware looks great for me.

But I can't find any information about this Android player.
I found these romanrm.net/a10/debian instructions. On this web is universal Debian image for A20, but I must use device specific bootloader dl.linux-sunxi.org/users/amery/sunxi-3.0/latest/
Where is possible to get bootloader?
I do not want Android, I need to have Linux (Debian, Ububtu, Fedora,...). I preffer Debian and Ubuntu.
Or you can recommend to me any other Linux-supported Android player with Ethernet with price about $50 (cheaper is better)?
I was looking at dx for android tv on sticks (link) -
I wonder, does xbmc kodi run on all these android 4.2.2? I'm looking at the pieces with 2gb ram / 8gb space.
Also, can I assume the standard google tv app (on both android and ios) will be able to control the stick?
Thanks!
I am looking for feedback on weather an android tv box or Rasberry Pi would better suit my needs. I will be using it mainly as an htpc. I'll be running transmission bittorent client constantly but generally more seeding then leeching. I will also be running kodi on the box as well as doing some retro gaming with emulators.
I already have a Transpeed X3 Air android tv box and it gets the job done OK for torrents and kodi but often seems to lag when gaming. The specs are an amlogic X3 with 4 gb ram and 128gb storage built in. Best I can tell the rasberry pi 4 performs generally on part with the X3 so I'm wondering if a pi 4 would trully be benifical? I believe I'd rather run Linux(Manjaro KDE on arm preferably) then android in this particular case and still meet all my needs and possibly increase performance through simplicity?
Thoughts?
