I haven't found a link to this anywhere but if it has already been done elsewhere then can you give me a link so I can move over.
Anyway.. as the supplier support seems to have dried up across all products, and their forum seems to be dying, I thought I would have a go at customising the image file for the JUSTOP TV Box.
There are a lot of clever people out there who have worked out how to get into the various Android images and there is a mountain of information/tutorials on how to do it all. If you can join up the dots then it really is possible to unpack your downloaded image file and make all the changes you need. Then repack the image and load it back onto the box.
I have stripped out all the apps that I don't want and loaded up the apps that I do want. Changed the setup config eg: UK/english/GMT and switched off the TvdLauncher so that it boots as a normal Android tablet. It works faster than ever and doesn't need so much configuration at setup.
If anyone is interested on the theme of customisation then we can together find all the switches and levers to get this box customised to the max. I can help with the image unpack/edit/repack bit but I don't want to reproduce the clever stuff that others have done. I can point to their work and help with some of the more difficult bits though.
This is the TV Box that I am talking about:
JUSTOP Android 4.0 TV Box - MPA040BKT
JUSTOP_A054_V1.8.1_20130809_ytb_fix.img << The most stable image file. This is the one that I have customised (so far)
I notice that As a new user I cannot yet post links this may be a problem as there are a few links to show the process.
Any advise on this ?
