UPDATE - 6/12/2014
Special thanks to FreakTab user Ant for doing these!
As it turns out when I modified the TCP buffers as I always have it effected thernet speeds in the Minix 010 ROM. I found the issue but due to being real busy, Ant was kind enough to make a entire new set of boot.img's with the TCP buffer fix (put back to stock).
Here is the download link for those:
ROM -> Finless 1.9 - Fixed TCP buffer boot.imgs (4 megs)
If you downloaded my ROM you will probably need to also download these and replace the boot.imgs in the FinlessROM folder with this new set.
Thanks Ant! You the man!

Hey folks! 1.9 ROM is ready.
This is built from the Minix 010 official release (the latest release).
I did my usual stuff I do to ROMs plus a few more goodies
See below.
__________________________________________________ _
Features and release notes for my 1.9 ROM:
1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2
2) This time I did not change the parameter file.
With 16GB and 4GB allocated for APPs, this seems like a good balance.
However, I added a 8GB, 10GB and 14GB parameter file by request.
3) As always, full init.d support! Minix added it to the stock ROM but it doesn't work right!
I had to fix it again!.gif "FacePalm")
4) All google required APPs updated to the latest version as of this ROM build.
This includes the play store and other required Google CORE and APPs.
Minix stock ROM had a very old Play Store and GMS Core.
Updating caused bugs with constant asking for a credit card!
This is now fixed.
5) ADB was not allowing ADB push commands and giving permission denied.
This is now fixed.
6) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
I am spoofing a Samsung Nexus 10 device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
Your device will show up in google play as Nexus 10 device not a X7!
Understand this please.
I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a Minix Nexo X7.
7) I fixed some HLS Streaming APPs like TennisTV, etc.
Special thanks to Hardware Guru for some help on that!
8) I give you a choice of boot.img's.
One enables Airpin and one does not.
I personally do not use Airpin so if you do not either then boot1080no_air.img will remove it.
Why have the annoying airpin service if you do not use it!
boot1080no_air.img is the default in my flash tool.
9) Of course as always I debloated the ROM of Apps!
Starting with a clean ROM is important depending on what you want to use your X7 for.
Why have APPs burning resources if you never use them?
10) 720P kernel if your TV does not support 1080P
I have supplied a patched 720P kernel made from the stock 007 kernel.
It is in the folder FinlessROM/720p_kernel_boot
See below for how to use this in the flash tool.
11) A full set over overclocked kernels!
In the folder FinlessROM/OC_kernels are a good set of OC kernels.
The file names explain what they do.
If you do not understand what the names mean, maybe you should not overclock!
USE at you own risk.
12) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).
Use this to easily get into flash mode to change boot.img's or later kernels!
13) NEW! This ROM 010 came as a ODEX'ed ROM.
What does this mean? This means that the framework and system APPs are made of 2 files.
The APK and a ODEX file. A ODEX'ed ROM is a little faster than a deODEX'ed ROM.
The Dalvick cache does not have to pull out the code from the APK every time it is RUN.
HOWEVER! A ODEX ROM cannot be themed or modified easily! Most APPs that allow theming wont work!
Simple things like wanting to change the mouse pointer cannot be done easily.
So.... For that I made a deodex patcher ZIP update that will deodex the ROM.
See the readme instructions for using that.
14) A TWRP recovery! But this one flashes WITH the ROM and is not installed from /system with a script!
I modified the TWRP recovery so it can be flashed with the ROM and on first boot it properly formats the partitions like internal sdcard. No more scripts running and what not to install TWRP!
Special thanks to Abdul_pt for working on TWRP for us!!!! Thanks Abdul... You the man!
On first boot you will see the TWRP recovery. DO NOT MESS WITH IT!
Give it a little time and it will reboot. It was formatting in the background.
15) Lots of other little tweaks I have learned recently. TCP buffer increases, T-Mobile spoofing, etc.
