NEW - Lollipop - wasser firmware 3.0.6 for Minix Neo X7

[Bazmamfoo]

In release note of 3.0.1 it is stated:

• add menu to root/unroot device

Where it can be found, how to unroot?

In fact I'm looking for solution for showmax, Anyone knows another hack then just unroot?

Have you tried Root Cloak?

This is an old device that nobody expected to receive an update from KitKat (Android v4.4) to Lollipop (5.1). Wasser has breathed new life into an old piece of hardware

This rhetoric. what is "new" life, if it is on the old kitkat not worse lives. that is, I do not see any improvement until this life. Sorry

I've sold my soul and replaced my trusty old X7 with a brand new NVidia Shield. I'll still be here every now and then to help you guys, though.

I still do not understand what a breakthrough). except for the name "lollipop"

What is wrong expressing gratitude and surprise, especially for a device whom its manufacturers did a worse job the this cooker right here, let alone that all expectations for the X7 have long been laid off. Kitkat was struggling with a lot of apps that i use, considering how good Lollipop is in this case...so yea, it is a breakthrough...from where we stand.

Don't lose precious time of yours and spare the internet a few bytes of traffic please, your comment was a lot less needed then my expression of happiness that i am getting a major version increment.

@ all root users having issues hiding root from apps, there are several Xposed Modules to hide SU, and many of them are good as they hide from "bank apps", which logically should use tighter security.

Thanks for this Firmware. Been using this player for a few years. Looks like another year of two of life for it.

Hi all,
So far the ROM is great, a few hangs that happen sporadically, but otherwise I really like the ROM.

I do have an issue with VPN connections with any VPN app that I have tried.4
It seems to make a connection at first, but there is actually no traffic passing through.
After some investigation looking at logcat, it seems that the tunnel cannot be established.
This gave me the hint that Tun.ko is not available in the ROM. I tried to use the Tun.ko installer from google play, but it doesn't find any compatible module for this kernel.

Can anyone provide any clues at how to get over this?
I can always put a snippet from logcat here, if anyone would want to look at it.

Cheers
Tiago

It seems I have similar problem as well:

|root@rk3188:/ # cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [RK29RT5616 ]: RK29_RT5616 - RK29_RT5616
RK29_RT5616

3 [AirMouse ]: USB-Audio - SAGE AirMouse
SAGE Technology SAGE AirMouse at usb-usb20_host-1.3, full speed
4 [J20 ]: USB-Audio - JLsounds Hi-Rez Audio 2.0
XMOS JLsounds Hi-Rez Audio 2.0 at usb-usb20_host-1.2, high speed
root@rk3188:/ #

Not sure if you see your USB DAC in Sound Manager, but in my case (under 4), it doesn't show up as an option at all, hence, no USB audio.

Can someone help us with this issue, please?

So what about recovery for 5 on minix x7?
