We replaced the stock init.amlogic.board.rc with a minimal version, removing services like tvserver , hdmi_cec_daemon , and wifisetter .
Stock firmware for S805 devices is often stuck on Android 4.4 KitKat, which many modern apps no longer support. Custom ROMs provide: amlogic s805 custom rom
The S805’s video decoder (VPU) and GPU (Mali-450 MP2) have no mainline Linux DRM drivers. Thus, any custom ROM must retain the vendor kernel (3.10.y) and GPU blobs. We replaced the stock init
Two devices might both be called an "MXQ" and both might run the S805 chip, but they could have entirely different motherboards, Wi-Fi chips, and Bluetooth modules. This is known as "cloning." Manufacturers frequently changed internal components without changing the model name on the box. Thus, any custom ROM must retain the vendor kernel (3
