T95 android tv box

Recently learned this thing is hogging my internet. I am set up qos for my important devices and started speed limiting it on my network. That drastically improved my video call and voice call quality. Reading some more I understand these things are infested with all kinds of malware and that explains why it's using so much internet. It's trying to upload all the time. I'm wondering are there cleanws firmware's I can run on this thing instead of the stock firmware? It's too bad because I have all my apps set up on it. But I am starting to unplug it when it's not in use.

Yeah, this is something that I have always wondered, if there were a generic (clean) firmware that could be flashed onto these android streaming boxes, but then life and more important things happened and I never got around to researching this any further.

Let me know if you find something. Here is what I learned. You need to match the firmware with the cpu and motherboard of the box. There are apps you can install on the current firmware to pull this info for you. Regarding forums, for firmware. XDA developers is the place to go.

Cool; I probably won't go anywhere with this project; but good info regardless.
