[ROM] QUICKSHOT V3.1 by The Nitro Team for Minix Neo X7

[tltester]

Sorry guys. Ordered a Probox2. Seems like support for the X7 is diminishing. You guys do awesome work but its been 5 months since your last update. Still bugs in 3.1, I don't think you can do much better with RockCheap hardware anyways. You guys are way better then Minix's support. Good luck to you guys.

That's a usual problem with a free (as beer ) projects done at dev's spare time - you never get an estimation time for release (and it's even considered taboo to ask for some), then you wait and wait, and wait a little while more, then you just give up and move on, because you realize that probably devs are not interested anymore as they themselves moved to something else and don't have any motivation to continue with the project. May be it's true and may be not, but you can't know for sure, because you can't ask for ETA. And so on... I've been in this scenario for way too much times, so I don't give a sh*t anymore and just wait. The current 3.1 rom is quite stable and the bugs are of survivable degree, can live with them. When I'll feel the time has come I'll just move on to something else. If we'll get 3.2 - well, that could be nice. If not - I'll live with that. Just my 2 cents
P.S. It could be nice to get some ETA anyway. Something like "It's not gonna happen in 2014 and I'm not sure it will in 2015" goes too

Hi guys, as you may know our team growed up. Abdul_pt and Nelo (Spanish developer) joined us recently. So we have been discussing and putting some order on our projects. We work on many devices that's why development is slow. Also we've been expecting for minix to release the sdk, but this is not happening. The sdk we have is old and full of bugs. So, abdul_pt came up with a crazy idea, why not try to build cyanogenmod? And he (this guy is amazing) provided a base that boots and works but needs a lot of hacking. We are still on it and at the same time we are building Roms for other amlogic devices and for new rk3288.
When we will have something to release? I don't know, and i'm not even sure it will be cm or just another rom in the same line as 3.1
We work on both, the first to be finished will be the first to be released.
Regards!

daemonium,

Ignore tltester and those like them... it's the impatience and ignorance of youth that are used to getting the world handed to them on a plate and complains when they don't get everything they want.

The team had already posted that this update was going to take some time.... you don't need to explain further. Those of us that actually do understand there is a lot of work involved and that you won't know when you can get the issues you've identified resolved until they are gone... It is just what it is and the rest of us thank you for the time you have spent.

Well, my friend, that's the problem with people like you... Why ignore? Ignorance doesn't do any good to you, never, trust me. It's best to rather just listen to people, not ignoring them. What I say is that I've seen quite a lot of projects that promised updates / fixes but never were able to come with some and just died, while made people to wait for many many months and not trying to come with an alternative just because of promises they couldn't keep. I'm not saying it's going to happen or not, I'm just not counting on it anymore. As about the project itself - QS team did a fantastic job, my MINIX X7 is still on QS3.1 an I've also sent a little donation at the past to express my big thanks for this rom, I really wish it'll be continued. And the ETA thing is just not as impossible as you think, btw, it's just a matter of planing and ordering your work. I'm just leading a small R&D team at the last 6 months, and I've learned the hard way how hard it seems to give ETA when you've got a big project landing on your desk. But after analyzing the risks, doing some tech. design and breaking the project to small sub-tasks you can actually come out with quite exact estimation of required efforts. It's not simple but doable. Now it's not the same of course if it's about a free project you're doing at your spare time, but still, you can come out with some approximate estimations, be it with a weeks or a months resolution, but still, it's doable. And, IMO, I always prefer a sprints-like development way with a small iterative updates and bug-fixes rather then a huge long-term changes that tend to last longer and longer. Just my 2 cents

Thanks, it's great to know the project is still alive.
Keep up the great work!

I wish 40 years old was youthful. Only person showing there age is the one trolling everyone that you don't agree with. My message to the team was appreciative and respectful. To bad you had to twist it into something negative. I think your the younger one here.

My post wasn't talking about your post... it referenced tltester whom was complaining about waiting for an update etc... there certainly wasn't any trolling by anyone... I wouldn't mind being 40 again

More than 16,000 post in minix... For my part all thing I need are working find and smooth. If people have problem why don't find your answer with minix, after all you spend your money there isn't... Team here had done big work, but still people want to go with kodi for example... and report addon won't work.... kodi problem but they seem to forget that. I own my T428 for more than a year and have to wait but finally everything working. Now I have to choose between firefly or zero Alice as upgrading not new firmware... Seem they invest in their devices like in a new car for 10 years... even your car won't upgrade. Thank to all teams that have work on those devices time to move...

Tell me please, guys, is it possible to release the source of changes you've made to make the QS3 kernel work flawlessly on the HDMI-flickering problem-affected X7s? The one you've used to create the alternative kernel with flickering fix? It'll be great for those of us playing with compiling own kernels...
Thanks!

We had "an accident" on our sources and we lost all we did to the kernel and system. We are starting from scratch, sorry

Can anybody confirm if the live streaming in the Youtube works with high definition?
And yes, is the Youtube from play store capable of playing 1080p or we have to use the YoutubeHD apk?

Thanks,
Vab

What is YoutubeHD apk, where it can be downloaded? I ask it because the play store app doesn't play 1080p HD format, the max quality I can select is 720p even though the played video is 1080p (tested on my Samsung S4).

Google for "YouTube mod"

Thanks for help, I'll try it.

But I'm curious (technical question) why the play store app limits 1080p movies to 720p, looks like the app see that our platform/hardware/firmware is 720p??
