====== Android TV from Android stock ROM ======
This guide is made for the GMMZ Stream V3.1 android box running Android 7. This is a work in progress, and I have not yet successfully created a fully functional Android TV box with Android TV OS.

  - Replace the product identifier in /system/build.pro.
    * Tx6 build.pro:<code>ro.product.model=GMM Z STREAM V.3
ro.product.brand=MXQ
ro.product.name=g9x
ro.product.device=g9x</code>
    * Xiaomi Mi Box S build.pro:<code>ro.product.model=MIBOX4
ro.product.brand=Xiaomi
ro.product.name=oneday
ro.product.device=oneday</code>
  * Copy //tv_core_hardware.xml// and //tv_features.xml// to ///system/etc/permissions//
