Just bought the X7 !

Hello i am a noob !!

Please can anyone tell me how to flash this ROM...
only the rom.
I don't want to change the kernel as I am happy with the default 720p one !!

I would be very thankful if somebody helps me !!

[Batfink32]

Wow! I'll install this when I get home! How's it running, videos etc?

Thanks for this rom.

Somebody installed this Kit Kat rom already ?
What are the experiences ?

Kind regards,
Cristallx

Wasser, thnx for the nice surprise, will test it immediately and feed back some experience, shouldnt take long guys.

Guessing from the NTFS and NFS support, this means that the 3.0.36 kernel is the one being used right? I know 3.4 and up haver no issues with exFAT, it seems that is going to be ignored for a long time from RK, if not forever.

ps, 1080p at 24hz strictly? i dont want to moan around why there is no 50/60, but im quite curious to know why (if) they cant be supported.

KiKat-4.4.2 for Minix X7

Guys, Installed on my Minix X7, but unable to connect through Ethernet as well as WiFi...
Waiting for others to share their experience.
Used Flash image tool with minix kernel....

[tode]

Thank you Wasser!
I test your ROM asap.
Did you used the libmedia.so patched by stafstrom, to enable pass through in XBMC?
Thanks,
tode

Same to me. With x7 kernel no connection- so its useless.

There is a check box for exFAT in the compiler options I think. I'll check tonight.

[ptiper21]

if there is no wifi or ethernet, why in the first post i see them as supported? i will test it too...

[Pluto]

Same to me. With x7 kernel no connection- so its useless.

Please dont sound surprised, this is the first KK rom, dont have expectations when actually your helping. Useless is a harsh word to use for someone who tested the rom 2 hours after release.

My experience so far:

Wifi and Ethernet dont work, Wifi wont turn on, it tries to but it greys out with the Off trigger remaining greyed. Ethernet says unconnected. Bt wont turn on...but at least it greys out on the On trigger rather stayin at Off.

Hdmi works at 1080p with both 50/60hz, though 60 gives me the green pixelisation issue (had it in every rom).

Wasser, have we done something wrong? whats the matter with the wifi and ethernet support?

Darrel, ive stop asking around for it since i saw no interest from the people, and installing modules wasnt risky enough until i read that the support is experimental. Weird tho, paragons app used to support it, not anymore...would be really nice to integrate whatever is out there. I remember custom Galaxy S2 kernels had full exfat support, wth.


Edit: forgot to mention that my Logitech K400 seems to work differently. A lot of functions seemed to be removed, i can either increase and mute sound, not decrease it. Can anybody with a K400 confirm that?

[d33]

Try flashing Wasser's ROM but using my T428 kernel instead. If you get Wifi/BT and all System boots then let me know and I'll re-compile with exFat switch set.

[Pluto]

On it.

Ps, switched to hdmi 1080p60, my tv started to make weird noises, not from the speakers pretty sure. Scared so good that im using 720p.

Also, no sound output from the headphone jack.

Edit: used your attched kernel, no usb input working, i guess thats the experience most had experimenting with th KK stuff.

Edit2: usb input works over OTG. However, i keep getting FC's from "com.android.systemui", impossible to make it to the home screen.

So X7 kernels work on MiniPC but not vice versa. Shame. Strauzo said the hub didn't work but I thought other stuff would.

NB. I've popped a few OC versions here
