New Recent Apps menu(Long press OK on a window to close it, long press back to close all recent apps)
Fix shutdown with ir remote(Long press power button to power off or restart)
Enable permissions for installed apps so you don’t have to enable it for all apps manually(Disable permissions not wanted if needed)
Spoof ethernet as wifi (Now you can play games like Asphalt etc. that only work on wifi over ethernet too. Some apps only added wifi support since phones/tablets don’t have ethernet)
Add Youtube leanback, Kiwi browser, Netflix apps
(Kiwi browser can use Chrome addons just like the PC Chrome browser)
Removed a lot of bloatware apps that were meant for tablets
Add HD SBC Bluetooth codec support in Developer Settings - More Settings in TvSettings
(Sound should have much higher bitrate playing over bluetooth speakers or headphones)
Block some ads by default to browse faster
Add kernel support for NFS, Samba v2(MiXplorer + Samba v2 addon is already installed)
(To use Samba v2, use a file manager like MiXplorer, most apps only use Samba v1 with slower speeds and follow this guide - https://androidpctv.com/tutorial-connect-android-pc-windows-samba/)
Make TvSettings app visible in other launchers
Add Settings app to TvSettings app menu(More Settings) to stop confusion of 2 installed Settings apps

There is still a lot I want to fix like removing SuperSU since it causes lots of errors in the background, optimise it for HDMI Displays, not tablet UI and add NVME auto mount.
I plan to fix some more things and release v1.1 Android Pie firmware later this week.
The biggest change needed is to build ‘box’ firmware instead of ‘tablet’ firmware as it will work better if connected to an HDMI TV. Hope can get help with this, but I’ll also try to do tests.
I will try to add it but don’t have a touch screen to test.
The Antutu score seems a bit low, it must be closer to 115000-120000 for rk3399.
Maybe that will improve with more updates, I’ll also try to check.
You can hide it with the arrows pointing downwards icon on the navigation bar.
There is also a menu setting to hide the navigation bar in TvSettings - Display if using the RKTVlauncher. Long pressing the menu button on the ir remote can also hide/unhide the navigation bar.
I’ll see if I can make the TvSettings app available in other launchers too. Also some old apps that haven’t added Android Pie or immersive mode compatibility, won’t be able to hide the navigation bar and go fullscreen themselves.
Khadas must also try to make box instead of tablet firmware then apps will also work better. I’m trying to test something like that.
I see you mention the notification and not navigation bar.
But it should hide automatically.
Moving to box instead of tablet firmware will also help with this I think.
Salut.
J’ai eu trois gros bug hier, avec kodi, impossible d’éteindre à la télécommande khadas, soit débrancher ou bouton on/off.
Il faut que je me mette à 50cm pour alluner khadas edge V avec la télécommande.
Vous pourriez pas faire une télécommande spécial, clavier, touch pad etc etc, pour les khada
Hi.
I had three big bug yesterday, with kodi, impossible to turn off the remote khadas, or disconnect or button on / off.
I have to put myself at 50cm to combine khadas edge V with the remote control.
You could not do a special remote control, keyboard, touch pad etc etc, for khada.
The Khadas ir remote has a bit of a weak signal I found out.
The area for the ir sender must be increased like on this remote with a round shape. http://shop.t-firefly.com/goods.php?id=17
The DPAD also gets stuck sometimes or UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT sometimes register s 2 clicks instead of one.
Is this the best way it must be put?
Currently I have wifi antenna just horizontally bent on middle of PCB on top of heatsink with case on.
I will try this, maybe it can also help with wifi signal.
