first thank you for all your great efforts and support.

I have an Amlogic u212 android13 tv, I used your site to port a TWRP for it, it appears to work good, but it miss an important thing,

which is the vision, the text it not clear at all, you could barely see if you sit next to the screen,

I did a lot of researches to solve it, finally I found out that a twrp for the Amlogic u212 android tv must have one more important flag

which is

TARGET_RECOVERY_FORCE_PIXEL_FORMAT := RGB_565

please to add this flag to your great twrp builder page.

and also it will be appreciated if you add this flag to my copy of twrp that built by your site.

attached,

thank you very much,

the screen issue solved very well, so it is confirmed that to build a twrp for the amlogic smart tv this flag need to be added.

I even test the OFRP is also needs this flag.

I will share some points that may be useful to the other visitors

the usb-otg didn't appear at first, I repacked the twrp and added the below line to the twrp.flags

# Removable storage
/usb-otg auto /dev/block/sda1 flags=storage;wipeingui;removable.

second point the data folder the build could not make a backup of it, although it managed to mount it.
if you have any advice about this it will be so useful and appreciated.

I will keep testing and updating.

many thanks again,
