What Is the SlimBOX Firmware?

A quick review of SlimBOX, one of the best third-party firmware for TV boxes. Fast, advanced, and (almost) universal.

SlimBOX is a third-party firmware for TV boxes with Amlogic S912, S922X, S905X2, or S905X3 chipsets. It has two flavors: one is based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and the other, Android TV (ATV). Its current Android version is Android 9.0 (Pie).

SlimHouse

The SlimBOX project is the work of a talented Russian developer group named SlimHouse. It has since gathered a huge following among TV box enthusiasts around the world. And they share their user experiences and technical know-how on the XDA Developers Forum. The overall feedback is very positive. Many that have flashed SlimBOX on their TV boxes have expressed their amazement at how much faster it runs than the original factory stock. What is equally impressive is its rich set of features and settings that the original system lacks.

As a TV box supplier, we also like the fact that it provides a hardware-independent alternative. You can now have a consistent set of functionalities and look and feel across a variety of brands and models. And that means you no longer have to trade-off between a slick user interface and your choice of hardware specs and price. Many IPTV dealers also feel the same way when they pick TV boxes for their customers. A consistent user interface means simpler user support.

SlimBOX Firmware Version Archives

Because the official SlimBOX Project website does not always provide access to previous versions. We have archived their changelogs and some download links for your convenience (see the left sidebar).
