Re: EM8 Amlogic S802 quad core 2Ghz + Octa core Mali 450: FIRST PRICE INFO!

Don't know about the overheating thing but this install is software related and will be fixed I'm sure for now I use apk extractor on my phone and send to dropbox install from there. Also wondering about black market or aptoid

Yeah, sure it will be fixed. I find it quite fun finding all the bugs when the new boxes are released.

I would not recommend discussing any piracy apps here on freaktab.

I mentioned it earlier as well but looking at the max CPU in trickstermod, its set to 1.6ghz. I thought this Amlogic was 2GHz max? Is this how they've sorted out their overheating problem by throttling the CPU?

Looking through build prop now look for something obvious.

Yeah, it seems no paid apps will install for some reason. I've been reading around the web and its maybe a kernel issue but I'm not sure. Something needs sorted though.

No. Can't figure out what the problem is. Maybe only 1 in 3 installs successfully.

I would love to get one of these to compare with the amazon fire tv I got recently but I just cannot make a purchase with the current form factor this manufacturers are releasing. Maybe im just picky but does anyone know when a regular looking one will be released? Hopefully wont have to wait until july-august for another Minix release .

1) try the NOVA launcher, it can work.(replace the old launcher) and you can hide the bar buttons;
2) bluetooth and wifi mac address won't change after you reboot, just tested.

Few questions also:

1) Has anyone put a regular launcher on this thing yet and if so what does the menu bar look like? Are there any hide bar buttons and things like that?

2) What about bluetooth and other networking functions do they retain the same mac address after a reboot?
