Khadas Edge Custom Android Pie Firmware

That’s the reason, the Wi-Fi antenna we shipped to developers and Indiegogo backers is still the old one, which with the IR receiver chip half-covered :smile:

It works but the IR Remote performance might not as good as new antenna.

Yes, it’s the best way and must be.

The DPAD also gets stuck sometimes or UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT sometimes register s 2 clicks instead of one. [/quote]

I have no up down on dpad to get to shutdown in the basic default launcher…
Works ok all other places

Maybe even the case itself (plastic) reduces the signal level ?

@Gouwa

Can we cut the piece in too much?

Can you specify more details on this :smile:

I’m testing right now.
for the new keyboard, I can not put it in azerty.
root app can not be used.
I like the normal launcher not the tv, he wants not to open.
keyboard in wifi, bug a can.

Hi

For the LeanKeykeyboard:
You can try to open an issue for the developer or email the problem.

If you want to switch back to the old keyboard, it’s called AOSP keyboard.
Go to TVSettings(Grey gear icon) then ’ Device Settings - More Settings - Launguages and Input
Now add French language to the keyboard, think default only shows English.
In the advanced settings, you can also enable it to show an icon in the launcher.
Make it the default keyboard.
If you type it will now use the old AOSP keyboard with Azerty layout.
I will post screenshots if you can’t find the settings.


I removed Khadas root method since it caused problems for lots of streaming apps.
I added a new root method with Magisk.
Please check the Useful guide for custom Pie firmware for how it works.
There will bwe a new Magisk Manager app in the launcher, just do full install to enable it.

You can install other launchers like Nova or Microsoft launcher, they work well.
The problem is, Google integrated the Recent apps screen into launchers now and not into the Android system since Android Pie, so if you have other launchers installed, it will sometimes overwrite it with a worse recent apps screen. Some other launchers might also have problems opening the appdrawer with an ir remote.
There is another launcher I use that is optimized for ir remotes but it’s from a different manufacturer, so I can’t include it for commercial use.
Some good launchers

Hi, @mo123
What did you do for fix “Keyboard - Physical keyboard - Show virtual keyboard(Now you can enter the wifi password correctly if using TvSettings with the onscreen keyboard if using a mouse)”?

I need to fix this problem for my VIM3 build VIM3_Pie_V200917

Do you mean the ‘Connect button’?
You can look at Edge-V Pie TvSettings code on github.com/khadas
For the Keyboard, I changed it to LeanKeyKeyboard which can follow mouse movement and works much faster than using DPAD arrow keys to select each letter.
