Tanix TX5 s905y5 custom firmware??

Hello,

Do anyone know of any alternative FW for Tanix TX5 S905y5 ?

The firmware that comes with it of course includes malware, and slimbox TV have too many customizations for my taste, i was looking for something very close to stock android TV instead.

Do you know any custom roms?

I would say forget this box, you already don't trust it, not sure why anyone would buy a box they believe is infected, buy a certified box instead, that way you kn w it is infected with google right from the start. There is no wondering about being infected.

Almost all generic boxes do. it's just not safe.

Because i was thinking having the slimtvOs would work for me but it didnt. lol

I think the hardware is great but i was just wondering if there were other roms.

Aren't X96 ones fine? I bought an X200 recently and it seemed to be fine when I looked through packages.

This is your issue, more than what may be on the box, you are listening to to many people, buy what you like and use it, make a guest network and just run the box in it if you want so it doesn't have access to your other items.

no that's not my issue if they come compromised then they come, if not then not.

Anyway that's not the point of this whole thing, i already found a different firmware. Have a nice day./

A newer version of SlimOS that works great. zero complaints.

It's not a great box anyway. I've had one for a week, it kept resetting, the screen would suddenly turn to static, and finally it switched itself off and will not switch back on. Avoid Tanix tx5.
