OFFICIAL Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. FUTEKO. HMD-2.1.4 2019-05-31

[velo]

Updated from 2.0.8 2018-04-03 to 2.1.1 2018-12-24
As a consequence App permissions is no longer accessible because it keeps saying: "package installer keeps stopping" and WiFi keeps getting reenabled after a restart (I never use it).
After downgrading the problems goes away.
I even tried a factory reset and downgrading to Android 5.1, and then upgrading again to Android 7 - 2.0.8 2018-04-03. It works fine. And then trying 2.1.1 2018-12-24 again - voila! - the "package installer keeps stopping", when trying to enter App permissions, reappears and nothing can be done except downgrading.
I put it to HiMedia that something is seriously wrong with this update. Anyone?

Is was popup by users on android-mediaplayer.de forum and reported to HiMedia.
As workaround copy update.zip/system/priv-app/PackageInstaller/PackageInstaller.apk from FW v2.0.8 via adb shell/ExplorerRoot to box running FW v2.1.1 or go to CFW.

I'm afraid you have a completely wrong thinking. If you choose an Android-based device, you should be willing to fix the bugs yourself. Even if it is based on the community. Because, an Android device never runs very well. Especially with the China Floundern here not much is tested. One sees again and again at the Firmwares which are published here by Himedia. The FWs grows with the customer. Unfortunately this is the case everywhere.

If you want a working system, never buy an Android device. Then you'd better go to Apple, they patch their mistakes quite promptly. At Himedia you sometimes have to wait several months or even years. Or forever.

See analogously the security status of January 2017!! Means, more or less we get the same FW-status since 2 years! Except for a few apps that will be recompiled, like the PackageInstaller last time. A lot has changed, I had taken them apart, but not tested them, see above.

If all companies that "build" mediaboxes don't wake up the new FireTV 4k will eat all of them.

There has always been a choice between more mainstream devices with their associated DRM and other restrictions and the media player products we have sold. This isn't going to change. AppleTV 4 will not 'eat' the products we sell because Apple don't want it to, they want AppleTV users to buy into and use exclusively Apple subscription content.

Apple TV costs X while FIRETV costs X-Y.    :-)

The reason i only use mx player is simply because it gives me the least frustrations, i started like so many with the intention of using it fully.

if you are happy using the rather basic MX Player software, have you tried using the built-in high quality MediaCenter player? 
If you just want to find a video or audio (or .iso) file and play it back, this should be fine for your purpose.
