Specs:
- Improved gpu performance (not OC).
- raised lower CPU clock.
- Improved ram ( @ 720mhz )
- Removed minix launcher
- Mele f10 support
- 1080p kernel (Custom kernel)
- True 1080p ( no overlay )
- Some Guru patches
etc...
New in 04:
- New kernel
- Improved HDMI detection
- Sound fixes.
- Sound settings stay remembered.
- Init.d Support ( not tested, you need to root it to use it )
Known bugs:
- OTG port is not usable as USB
That was the less important .. now the important things..
What does it do?
- Smooth 1080p playback. (also in preloaded XBMC internal player).. YES.. SMOOTH!!
- It plays blueray .iso files and .mkv files in XBMC without frameskips.
- DTS/DD audio passthrough
- Preloaded apps: YoutubeHD, Skype3.2, QuickOffice, MinixXbmc Beta2, MXplayer
- Not rooted
Note: you can encounter some frameskipping in the first few seconds of a movie, after that it is gone.
Need root?
This is a basic non rooted rom for a simple reason.
- Everyone that needs root can mostly root it..
- People that dont need or want it mostly dont know how to unroot a firmware.
I made rooting over adb simple so most tutorials will work to root it. (ro.secure=0)
Tool to root: http://xbmc.hardwareguru.nl/MinixNeoX7_Utility.zip
Overclock?
Only the ram has been set to 720 mhz.
The lower cpu is raised but the high cpu is still at 1608mhz
- The kernel is inside boot.img, no i will not take it outside
Flash Notes: ( READ this )
- Flashtool not included ( need rkflashtool )
- Unzip the .img and flash it with rkflashtool
- The kernel boot dont show a logo, so the first boot can give you about a minute black screen !! just be patiant !! the second boot will go much faster.
- When you first boot, wait till "Airpin starts" before doing anything or the app installer will abort !! you will end up without preloaded apps !! This can take some time !! just be patiant !!
... Sorry for all the !! but some seem to need it
