Upgrade A5, A8 Pro, A10, A11, A13 to Android 7

[Nice Monkey]

Installed CFW's based on A11BD_CN_N_Firmware_20201116_v3.0.6.9_pd on my A11 and an equivalent CFW based v3.0.6.9 on my A10. All thanks go to E_CS for making these available.
Main post updated accordingly.

Anyway good to see some development goes on. The main change with this release is the Egreat Controller APP (Android and IOS versions) advancements made. It is in English now and also has an additional generic remote control function added to it. In combination with the Music Player update this FW is a substancial improvement for those listening to music using Egreat Controller like me.

For the Chinese market there are multiple APP's included in the CN versions doing: IPTV, Online TV, Cinema On Demand etc. All in Chinese and some illegal to be distributed in Western Countries. Your shop may be shut down when selling these bundled so they will never come in western FW versions! These have all been removed with the CFW versions.

The good news is that Music Player works quite well with a simple, nice and intuitive GUI despite a few flaws. In fact it works better for me than even the most recent Zidoo equivalent. Hi-res music reproduction missing dearly obviously.

All model FW versions updated to v3.0.8.0 with several small fixes. Using myself on A11.
Front display level does not reset anymore after power cycling.
Double play with SACD ISO or HD Music is now not happening anymore.

If you use Music Player then an update is highly recommended.

Dear Nice Monkey,

Any possibility to have a manual proxy server setting setup in Egreat A10 at wifi setting. A10 wifi setup is not like handphone, cannot find proxy LAN setting. I would like to share my Ovpn hotspot in my hp via Every Proxy, but not working unless I can manually setup Proxy LAN. Kindly advise.

Dear Nice Monkey,

How can I update my A8 Pro firmware to 3.0.x.x? Is this possible? Or am I stuck with the stock v2.5.1.0?

Cheers!

I had upgraded to A13 and had installed all the latest FW, Desktop and Player version.

When I connect HDMI audio output to my DAC I2S input, there was no sound.

I had purchased 2 items for further trial.
1)https://m.tb.cn/h.fXrsjDU?sm=ff0b2d
2)https://m.tb.cn/h.fXrHXKn?sm=031a21

Upon arrival, I will try, Egreat A13, HDMI audio-->I2S converter, HDMI I2S-->DAC I2S input.

I found someone also used this convertor.
