Xiaomi MiTV2 help

[mazzel]

Thanks i1magic for the info and the video embed, so have you changed yours to English Language menu.
I wonder the Xhome is better than the Shafa app.

I guess this depends on what you would like to do
The XHome App is, in my opinion, the easiest way to switch 90% of the TV to english. Some menues stay Chinese, as some buttons are actually pictures. But for daily use this is definetly more then enough

Thank you mazzel. I wouldn't know if my Xiaomi TV3 would come with which firmware version. So is there any difference? As long as either of the app can be used to convert language menu.
Where can I download the apk?

My Mi TV 2 55" came already in English. It was done by the seller. I asked the seller, they told me that their charges is $100 for coming down to install those apps + conversion to English.

I am tempted to do a factory reset of my Mi TV 2 back to 1.1.70.

The 2 main app which I will need to confirm can work are :

1. YouTube app
2. TV Plus 2.0 app

Does any of you who got the Mi TV on your own? Installed and confirm that both of this app will work even without PlayStore?

From the video that was presented by this JAT it looks like even you do a factory reset of the Mi TV 2 you can't revert it back to 1.1.70

Another introduction of Mi TV 3 60".

Apparently, the Mi TV 3 has a power point. But the soundbar, does not. It draws power from the TV via the Mi Port.

That means that the Mi TV 3 soundbar can ONLY be use with Mi TV 3.

But luckily, there is another version of the soundbar that comes with it's own power point.

website say the Mi Tv3 soundbar can be connect to any tv panel but i am wondering if it connect to Mi Tv 3 via the Mi port then how to connect to Mi Tv 2 or other Tv without the Mi port?

The TV I got was in Aug 2015. As I have said, I actually accidentally updated to 1.1.82 (Stable).

Now, I am not sure whether is there still the original 1.1.70 (Stable) firmware embedded somewhere in the TV.

Somebody posted awhile ago that he did a factory reset and the TV was reset to 1.1.70 (Stable).

I am not sure lah but got chance.

 

[Uno_Hu]

Hmnn....good luck on your factory reset. After watching the video. Nothing will go wrong I'm sure.

Spent my weekend tinkering with my mitv 2.

Previously i always update once got new updates as I believed updates brings improvements but how I know the recent ones brings the ads, so irritating. Once on TV got ads. Luckily still can work around.

Finally got it rooted and disable the ads and update prompt.

Anyway changing the Lang to English is easy and don't need root. Just need to sideload one apk will do.

Don't bother with the factory reset cos I've done it and the firmware still remain at 1.1.82 after that.

my mitv still with fw 1.1.70, I can confirm that "Youtube for Android TV v1.2.7" can work nicely but not perfectly (can play up to 1080p, but cannot use phone to play on TV, cannot log in youtube acc...etc) sadly the latest v1.3.8 not working correctly.

P/S: you can download from apkmirror, "Youtube for Android TV" is working, "Youtube for Google TV" & other not working...

Compared,Youtube for Android TV v1.2.7 better, can change HQ mode;1.0.5.6 can't
