I agree 100%, a heatsink is recommended. But if one has a fan or laptop cooler, until they get a heatsink mounted, the fan will provide a safe cushion for some who cannot wait to try this very nice ROM.

I have the Vim setting on a centrifugal blower, drawing air from the Vim's bottom plate. While not ideal fan placement, temps stay well under 60c during peak loads. I have yet to decide on a heatsink solution for the Vim, so the fan keeps her cool(or at least safe)until I quit procrastinating.

Thanks Superceleron for your, literally tireless, efforts.
I get worn out just just watching you work.

Hi superceleron, I have installed your custom ROM, it really is very good.
I prefer the version SCV1A ("Normal" Android), For compatibility of all apps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed the TWRP recovery for (s905x-3.0.2-0), And it works perfectly,

- I made a backup is OK,
- Then I did a restore OK,
And everything works fine.

Install with "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool.apk".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought a remote with voice and it works well ( for me, With French recognition is not really accurate ).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a new ROMCUSTOM with Android 7 (NOUGAT)?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

I really like your work and the image. I tried to go with Kodi 17 as i really like to have it but DTS is not working then. If i use an Android 7 Version with Kodi 17 it works like a charm.

When do you think Android 7 is worth it? :-) Or do you think there is a way to get Kodi 17 working on your Image?

Maybe in a few more builds i will make a ATV 7 for it!

After using the fan of kadas vim and a little Passive cooling, I decided to adapt a large Passive cooling, With a little thermique paste.
the fan of kadas vim, Was really too noisy.


I use the application AIDA64 for my test :

( In my room, it was 25,0°C or 77° F )

MIN = 34,0°C or 93,2° F ( When I connect the power supply, arrived on the office )

MAX = 46,0°C or 114.8° F ( after 30 MIN of streaming 4K " film transformers " )

after 1 hour = 39,0°C or 102.2° F ( Without use )

Now I can really use the kadas vim.


Hi superceleron, a new firmware "Marshmallow_Root_170603" is out ( http://www.mediafire.com/file/u8lbni...Root_170603.7z ).

Do you think, It corrects the problem of the dark image or Should always use your application ?
