The Tanix TX6 is an Android TV box popular for media playback and light emulation.

This post covers why people install custom ROMs on the TX6, common ROM options, benefits and risks, how to prepare, and a high-level installation outline.

If you used an ATV ROM, Google Play Services might be outdated. Manually update via APKMirror for best compatibility.
