Lifeforce ROM - Firmware for the M8 Tomato

[Zahir]

Goodness - That Would Be Great

Lifeforce edited the tcp buffer in init.rc
So yes using this patch on his ROM will reset the tcp buffers back to stock.

Tell you what. If Lifeforce doesn't patch his ROM after a few days, I will do it.

Bob

Thanks a million for standing by us.

I've asked him to sort out min. CPU before you release the patch zip for us, He said he is busy etc. I don't think he will patch his firmware ...

Its time to learn this stuff Can we do this stuff with Windows 7 or Linux is essential ?

[Finless]

I use Linux for editing boot.img
So yes you need Linux.

Get VirtualBox and install Ubuntu in a VM under windows 7.

New one

Here is the new one : 20140516 SW http://www.mediafire.com/download/cb...AX_M8_0516.zip

Size of Acemax is different from the one that handroid show us.

I have tested handroid's one and original KK launcher had been added, but I had some probleme with Titanium Backup.
Will trie ACEMAX this evening.

Hey Bob,

Thanks for all your hard work getting this box and others working at their prime.
Would you be able to patch Lifeforce's rom so we can patch your CPU Control Patcher?

Thanks

[Lifeforce]

Sorry, taken away from me the test device.
Soon I correct firmware.
Bob: thank you for your CPU patch.
If you also have problems installing the paid apps, in the services.jar file must be off the asec security.
Mount or permissions problem.
Several times I looked, but I could not find the error. (I did not have more time to deal with it)
Sorry my bad english
