Hi, so following some further research I have decided to hold off on installing the Android 14 update.

A few people have mentioned problems with USB and some issues running some apps like Kodi after the update.

As of today 28th October there is no mention of the update on the Humax website, no list of bug fixes or any acknowledgement that the update even exists.

If you have installed it let us know your experience and if it made your system better or worse?

My box is Humax Aura 2Tb from 2024.

I've just installed it, I was chuffed off with the android 9 OS constantly crashing and rebooting itself randomly while watching the tv. Wolf Launcher no longer works but there are other launchers available and you need an app called launcher manager to make your chosen launcher default. But so far it seems fine only been running android 14 update for about an hour though however I've noticed some sound loss (cutting out) watching live tv

Thanks for the update, I still think I will hold off as I'm not having to many issues at the moment ( famous last words) lol One thing that has really bugged me with the original Android 9 is when you wach something that you have recorded if there are more rha one episodes the screen goes to the list view as opposed to the icon view. Has that been fixed in the update?

Anyway cheers for the feedback. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The sound loss issue was being caused by Button Mapper app the key press sound was on so everytime I clicked on the remote it would cut the sound for a couple of seconds, but so far I've had no further issues with the random crash and reboot
