NEW - Lollipop - wasser firmware 3.0.6 for Minix Neo X7

[Pluto]

So far so good, the kernel seems in stock settings, i guess there is not much done there and am wondering if we can use the OC kernels that we used during 0.92.

It seems my Logitech k400 is not recognized as hardware anymore and you will need Null Keyboard again like on JB to avoid the Software Keyboard. I have always been a fan of android vanilla designs but Nova just feels sluggish to me and it is not as simple as people describe it, Apex on the other hand is way more simple, but i still prefer the new Google Now Launcher and have already defaulted to it.

Playback seems way better, on large 10GB+ files, it would take a 5 second lag to jump to another sequence, not it is instantenious , great work indeed.

I was amazed the box being able to do this with no OC at all, the moment i manually tuned to Ondemand governor and min.freq to 1000, the response was crystal clear.

I will, as we use it, feed back more data and annoyances i come upon, meanwhile i'd like to know if the newely released KK stuff from RK could give us a better rom? and above everything, why are we stuck in such a low version of the kernel?

1 the old oc kernels cannot be used in 0.94 firmware. dont' worry, I will cook some oc kernels at the weekend.

2 it's known issue that the keyboard is not recoginized as hardware in 0.94. I think most users like nova launcher.
i can switch back to stock LAuncher3 in next release if there're more requests

Great ROM wasser!
Very good indeed!

A question: any chance to get AC3/DTS passthrough in XBMC Gotham?

Thanks,
tode

it needs new libmedia for kikat. I hope to get it fixed soon.

Good, with some minor issues.

I've been running 0.94 for over a day now. So far it has been completely stable. Not a single shutdown or any other "force close" issues. Of course, I can only speak of what I've tested that matters to me in a ROM.

The issues I've found:

- Hardware keyboard no longer recognized. On 0.92, my keyboard showed up under "Language & input" and the software keyboard was automatically disabled. This is no longer the case.

- External UVC compatible webcam works, but the picture is almost black. The microphone works excellent! I'm using a Logitech C920. It seems the default exposure is set too low. I downloaded a camera application from the market and after increasing the exposure in the settings, the picture was perfect. Of course, I can only increase the exposure while using the camera application. Is there anything that can be done about this?

- Google Music All Access does not work. I know this issue is present in all Rockchip based ROMs. That being said, 0.92 did not have the issue.

For my needs, everything else works great. Thanks for this ROM.

Gravity Box for Xposed does not seem to work completely. I depend on xposed a lot to control Google Now Launcher settings, and through it i have managed to password protect my Box. Just recently i found a new xposed module allowing multiple user profiles, yet lockscreen does not seem to work in ths version ...is there any way to activate it?

I haven't had a chance to flash yet

can anyone tell me what sizp parameter is being used in the update? I have been using 6gigs.

Becausof the change to one .img file can I still flash the parameter files from0.92?

You can probably split the .img file using the firmware tools:

Just updated from 0.92 to 0.94 everything working great except vulkano flow app which is buffering every few seconds. App worked fine on 0.92. Think app uses his, any advice would be appreciated

Excellent rom, thank you wasser!

My 5 cents for flaw detection:

- Screen Scale setting does not persist after reboot
- the Nova Favorites Tray cannot be accessed with a keyboard; anyway Nova is much more customisable than stock launcher so this is really a minor issue.
- editing rkxx-remotectl.kl to add a few IR command keys appeared to have no effect !?

Thanks for the heads up on the tool! Exactly what I was looking for!

Cheers.

Tool worked great for me! Now I have 6gig internal app storage

Also i noticed installing comix cursor puts the rom into boot-loop, so no custom cursor until their updated by author.

Rom is looking great. I'll repot back in a day, seems to be very smooth!

Some thing about the audio

I use HDMI to conect to Sony TV and I flash the 0.94 rom yesterday.
When I play some Movie from NAS and found the audio not very clear. Then I found it's Mono sound.I try to change the sound manage Setting but still had the problem.
The movie audio is 5.1 DTS format.
Pls help to fix it.
Sorry for my poor english.

- Screen Scale setting does not persist after reboot
