• You may loose sound when enable my rgb fix on my kernel only (disconnect the hdmi cable and connect it again to solve it or change source on your tv)
• On 1º boot when you setup in english language the on screen keyboard may not show when you going to put you wifi password, to fix it go back and change to another language and then go right back again to english and the on screen keyboard should be working now(you need to click it): YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE AND ONLY IN ENGLISH!
• Only update "su" if you are going to to stay at root if are not going to stay at root and you are going to be doing a lot of changes between the two dont update it! Or you will get a boot animation loop...

Hi, superceleron. Can you tell me if can I use it with NOS Wi-Fi? Thanks and keep the good work.

[superceleron]

Hi, superceleron. Can you tell me if can I use it with NOS Wi-Fi? Thanks and keep the good work.

Yes you should be ok with NOS Wifi ...if not enable developer mode and in it enable "legacy DHCP" and it should work just fine!

Great Job !!
Very nice rom.

I have two questions.

1.- Do you know if this firm works for nexbox (s905x) ?

2.- Do you know if the rgb fix app works for nexbox (s905x) ?

I can test both (if you send me separetely the app).

regards

1º dunno but i bet it wont...

2º The RGB fix in that app only works on my kernel, since its used to enable the mode in my kernel!

Sometimes in life you want two mutually exclusive things, equally. If you have one, you cannot have the other....... at least not easily. For instance, a wife and a girlfriend.

And then superceleron puts out SCV1A-ATV and now, I can have ATV on the Vim and boot balbes150's bits from SD too. What a life.

So while a wife and girlfriend are out still of the question, as I favor my skull, it's great having ATV multi-boot on the Vim.

Thanks for the work superceleron. Nice job.

PS Special thanks for including the checksum with your downloads.

[marius87bv]

does it works on probox1 air?

I'm not able to enable WiFi. (Running the 8GB version)
Is the wifi only supported on the Pro version?
(WiFi is running fine on the Vim_Marshmallow_Root_170121)
