Minix Neo X7 Quickshot v2 Rom by The Nitro Team

[dakirba]

I use logitech wireless mouse M505. I tried to use it close to the receiver, but it was the same.
With the original remote, there is no cursor, so I can't tell about the mouse, but the movies still stutter, even if I disconect the mouse and use only the remote.
The problem is that I don't know which player I should buy now - I really like the Minix, it's look, it's support etc. But that doesn't help me if the movies stutters all the way.
Maybe there's something wrong just with my device, but I'm not sure if I want to risk and buy the X7 again and then find out it's the same with videos than it was in previous device.

720 Max resolution, no 1080?

My co-worker just bought the Minix New x7 and flashed this rom by PC using the designated rom and the CWM with it's designated rom. Issue is, his resolution is at a max of 720 and it appears to be at the Kernel level. I see that this rom was too include stock 1080 kernel along with modded clock speed 1080 kernels as an optional download. Anyone experience this? Should he quickflash one of the modded 1080 kernels or should he already be at 1080. Antutu even shows 720 as well as max res in XBMC.

Just installed this and it seems wonderful. Thanks for all the work guys.

However there's a dealbreaker. Is it possible to hide the system bar when XBMC is running?

I know it doesn't autohide because XBMC is considered as a "launcher" on this ROM as stated on the faq. But is there any way? I don't use XBMC as a launcher, just as a app among the others. I don't want to see system bar when watching movies.

Same problem here. In Settings at 'hdmi mode' I can only choose 720p or 480p, allthough my screen is certainly 1080p and I used the 1080p kernel.
Only difference here is that xbmc is reporting 1080p.

Hi,

from the launcher hide the system bar (the 2 down arrows on the system bar) and then start XBMC

Thanks for the answer. It doesn't seem to work in Quickshot V2 though (it did in the original neo x7 fw). It's impossible to hide the system bar in the launcher as it just pops right back up. Same behavior when XBMC is running (because it's handled as a launcher too).

Should I uninstall pre-installed XBMC, download the version from Minix site and use that instead?

The xbmc in the rom is a "launcher" version, all xbmc "launcher" version causes this behavior. The only way to hide the system bar is by using a non launcher version. If you read the first page, post #3 you will find the same xbmc but "no launcher" version.

BTW, i recommend you to uninstall this xbmc and give a try at flumpster's Beyond XBMC, that one works like a charm

Uninstall the xbmc included in the Rom and install the non launcher version (download link in the firsts posts) then the status bar will autohide when you launch xbmc.

That is strange. Can you write in terminal emulator:
su
dmesg >/sdcard/dmesg.txt

Then please pass me the dmesg.txt file from sdcard.

Thanks! We expect that people enjoy the new version
We have implemented a new way to launch updates for the Rom by cwm too, only adding a file in the sdcard or in an external sd , the system will detect it, and on the next reboot, the box will reboot to cwm recovery and start automatically the update, after that, it will reboot automatically and start the system.

Hi there, ive tried to copy new kernel *.zip to /sdcard/quickflasher or also /sdcard
but after i hit reboot it boots only to system, not to CWM. What im doing wrong?
Or how do i enter CWM? Thanks!

ëdit: Or it can be flashed only via "Tincore quickFlasher" tool?

It's flashed only via quickflasher! No need for CWM.

[killeriq]

so means there is no CWM in V2?
