Minix Neo X8 Plus (H) Custom XBMC Edition by Lifeforce

[Lifeforce]

I had a little free time, and I build a X8 Plus device firmware.
- I have removed all the downloadable Google applications, and unnecessary programs.
- CPU speed is set to be 1280-1920Mhz between
- Removed all Launchers
- XBMC programmed launcher (by Kodi 14.0 rc3)
- XBMC tailored surface a bit and I adjusted to the compatible Neo X8 Plus.
- OFF and Favourites buttons removed, thinned to RSS feeds.
- Switch off function menu allowing immediate selection sub-menus.
- Shutdown functions: OFF (this is feature never has not worked in the android), shutdown timer (Never has not worked in the Android), stop shutdown timer, and eventually restart the device.
- Integrated into game controllers drivers (XBOX, PS, Joy) (not tested) (Thanks the developers))
- I integrated root
- Other tweaks


WARNING!
This is full firmware only Minix Neo X8 Plus (H)!
SD card in flashable ZIP format

1. Download the firmware, and extract it. Unzip the another zip file too.
2. Copy all the three files to the root of an SD card formatted with FAT32:
___1: factory_update_param.aml (103 bytes),
___2: Neo.X8.Plus.XBMC.Edition.14.12.13.zip (319,434,404 bytes),
___3: recovery.img (8,285,804 bytes)
3. Power off the X8-H Plus and unplug power.
4. Insert the SD card into your Minix X8-H Plus device.
5. Make sure you do not have an OTG USB cord plugged into the device.
6. Plug power back in. Make sure it doesnt boot!
7. Using a tooth pick go in and press and hold the Recovery button. You know you have pressed it if you feel the click.
8. While holding the Recovery button down, press and release the Power button (and keep holding the reset button until 5 seconds).
10. The ROM should auto install and reboot when done. If not and it boots into recovery use below processes. Your Done!

It's an XBMC edition, only with XBMC launcher (Kodi).
If you like the classic surface, install your favourite launcher from Play.
