Apps crashing on Trongle S2 (MXQ clone)

[Android Central Question]

Anyone had problems with apps crashing during loading on an MXQ box? The box itself boots Lollipop and is stable but the apps crash on loading. Can take several attempts to get an app running and even then they will crash the first few times. I cannot seem to find a reason for it.

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this to the Android TV forum for more specific traffic.

Part of the problem may be that Lollipop is very outdated, so more and more apps are losing compatibility.

Thanks for the help.

The same apps load and run fine on my smart phones which run Lollipop.

I think it's the version of Lollipop that's causing the problem. Need to try other versions from SD/USB or alternative OS such as ARM based Linux. Any other OS I could try? Any diagnostic software for Android or Linux etc or something I could boot from SD/USB to test the h/w?

Unfortunately, you probably won't find many people here with that sort of expertise with Android TV boxes -- you might want to try here instead: https://forum.freaktab.com/

Oh sorry, that's news to me! I should've looked more closely at the site before I shared the URL.:-\

In that case, the next best place to look would probably be the forums at XDA-Developers.com, but I don't know how popular Android TV boxes are there.
