This Rom is already "rooted"; you can check easily with any app to do so, or just run antutu benchmark and the program will report that your device is rooted.

Nobody using Play Music here? I can't get it to play multiple songs in a row; after one or two songs playback always stops. I can turn it on from the notification bar button, and all is fine, but one song later it will stop again. I dont't know where this bug originates; first I thought it had to do with the audio output device not sticking, but that's solved now so it must be something else.

This error occurs on quick shot v3.1 as well as minix kit kat. I was hoping it worked on wasser. Oh well.

This problem is not related to wasser rom nor xbmc-wasser edition; it´s a hardware acceleration problem or deficiency of xbmc running on android & rockchip devices. Just disable hardware acceleration (both libstagefright and mediacodec) and play again the same movie and you will see that now it can work; you can run in some cases with no problem software accel, but sometimes you will need to disable all the hardware and software acceleration features into xbmc. This is the well know bug of 10 minutes mark playing some HD content into xbmc for android and rockchip devices; we as a owner of these devices just need to deal with the deficiency whilst xbmc team fix it, may be if they can or if they want for the next xbmc-14 Helix next generation, how knows!!

This also happens on my ouya running a Tegra 3. Not just a rockchip problem

Had a bit of a brainwave on what might solve this issue. Use the latest version of spmc 13.2.1. Koying has included fixes in it that were left behind by the xbmc team for the helix edition. I can confirm that this error has been fixed in this version. Spmc was originally made for ouya but it will work on any
android device.

Sorry but it´s not true; the problem of frozen video content from different streaming sources into XBMC & android with chinese SoC & xbmc video hardware acceleration codecs it´s still ocurring; XBMC team must try to solve it on the upcoming Helix or any furhter update, but simply occur; at the moment there is not a fix on the horizon. Just check xbmc forum or Mashup forum; the problem is very well documented with many testimonies from the people. Icefilms addon is one of the most problematic; but there some other sources that suffer of this frozen video problems . Congratulations for you ouya, but here with rk3188 devices (Minix X7) it´s true and very common problem unfortunately, not solvable with any of the xbmc versions available up to date, frodo or gotham, original or customized.

If you use spmc on your x7 this problem is fixed. Don't assume that you know everything. I've tested it on multiple android devices x7, nexus and ouya. I used any video i could think of with this error to test on my x7. Videos that freeze at the 10 min mark using wasser xbmc play fine on the newest spmc. Unfortuanately passthrough will not work however. Wasser maybe you could look into combining your passthrough hack into spmc?

There is also no frameskips when using medicodec acceleration on this version

BTW awesome rom Ive tried them all and yours is the best one I've used. Simple and functional

If you are correct that will be great; there are thru those forums mentioned dozens of examples of problematic video content from IceFilms, daemon88 from Mashup, and many others; if you are convinced, you can try those examples not only the example you provide, that considering the large volume of content with problems I think is not enough to can validate your affirmation.
XBMC team had refused to talk about H/W video codec from MXPlayer that is demonstrated that works properly with all of the content that show problem with hardware video acceleration modules into xbmc, because they say that this is a closed privated source that they can not deal with it; but if not officially through this "unofficial fork" they had implemented it would be great for the users. I don´t know everything, I´m just tired of loosing time with this problem, and now you assure that this is solved on this version you recommend, it will be great if XBMC support this affirmation
, because this had been long disscussed thru their official forum and none of them had come with this advice for the people with android tv boxes on chinese SOC; even koying had mentioned anything about it on Minix Forum, why? If people had been requesting a solution for that problem.

He mentioned it in the unoffical ouya forum. The problem lies with the software that was used to encode the videos. Koying has fixed this bug. I tried a couple videos I knew of that had this issue and they all work now. Try some for your self and see. IN my experience it was a rare bug and I can only think of a few videos that had the issue to try.

Hello, I'm new here.
I read that it's the best firmware for Neo X7. I'm wanna try it. This topic is too long for read and for this reason I have question. Is it enough to just upload version 1.0.4? Do I need to upload kernel too?
Thanks for reply.

Download image then flash using rkbatch tool. No need to download a kernal file. Everything is in image.
