Just a tip.
Sometimes the screenshots appear to be broken because you need to create an account in order to be able to see the pictures. Sometimes they work without being logged in and sometimes they don't. Weird!!

play a 4k video for a few seconds? that's what says in the change log, but if it does run em great then that is cool. I had bad time with custom firmware and no WiFi working and other issues I use Freaktabs a lot and recently posted stock firm ware for evanpo t95k pro with longsys WiFi in which I got from the seller long story short I have not had gud time with custom firmware. so understand my scepticism for other custom ROMs. I have learnt abit about android box's even how to make my own custom firmware I like to tinker with technology its great to know and learn any who I be trying this out soon and I will post reveiw

I see what you meant now. You read the changelog wrong I'm sorry. This you speak of is under known bugs in the firmware.  What this means that for the brightness fix you need to play a 4k video for a few seconds to fix the issue that people have when the screen is too dark. This is a bug that all the firmwares / ROMS  for the GT1  have from beelink at the moment and some other manufactures as well. This issue is a known bug for different Amlogic ROMS. But even stock firmware from Beelink GT1_111M0 has this bug too. I personally don't seem to have an issue with the screen being to dark or if so it's not that noticeable for me. But for some people it bothers them or it's too dark for them with their TV or setup. I'm glad I figured out what you meant. So people don't get confused about my ROM not playing 4K videos. They play 4K Videos just fine. It was a misunderstanding. But yes please try out the ROMs have fun!!   :)

Most of the issues you'll see with WiFi not functioning are when users attempt to install a custom ROM on a different device.  Some many of these Amlogic devices are based on the same reference boards, they'll usually successfully flash and run launch.  However, OEMs will sometimes swap out the wireless chipset or change remote controls, and we have no control over that.  (We even see that within the same model, since the GT1 ships with Qualcomm QCA9377 and AMPAK AP6255 wireless chipset.)

As a general rule, though, if you install a custom ROM that was built on the stock firmware for your device, you shouldn't hit issues with video performance or wireless driver compatibility.  That only really occurs when ROM developer start messing with the underlying kernel or bootloader, and I don't think either of us does that.  We're really just preloading different sets of apps.

they also  fix the forum, now is less hard to reach the right rom,good work

I've had people looking for my ROM and asking me where to get it or they finally found it and told me they had trouble finding it.  But it seems like I can't place any links to my ROM without moderation and it seems like moderation doesn't happen very often here. So if you search Freaktabs site go to this location down below and then look for Alvatech ROM at one of the top stickys.

Hi Alvatech, is it possible to change the launcher by another launcher who will open by default?

Yes, my ROM has three different launchers: Launcher3 , Minix Metro and Nova Launcher. It should ask you which launcher you would like to use when you first setup the box. But if you chose to always use a certain launcher and you now want to try a different one. Then you would need to go to Settings>>Advanced Settings>>Home>> then choose the launcher you would like to use from the list.
That should get you going.
