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

[Productivity]

Okay, but there are different drivers for XP and Win7 (the qs package has both), which should I use with Vista.

I did a search on this thread for "Vista" and could only find our messages. The other messages you refer to must be in another thread... or different topic.

Back to my issue... since I have the driver that Finless uses installed, must I get rid of it? Or can your software use the RK dirver that he is using? In which case, this becomes a non-issue.

Generally Win7 drivers work with Vista, but I can't confirm in this specific case.

I don't have a XP or Win7 PC, so I guess the PC method is out for me. So can I use Quickflasher to install the complete package? Without need of any PC?

I downloaded "qs3.1-x7-en.rar" and it contains "update.img", and lots of other stuff, can I include that with the kernel zip for Quickflasher? I am not sure how to begin.

I am currently running an old Finless rom, 1.6 I think. But want to upgrade to KitKat. I think I understand how to use Quickflasher, but I am not sure what files I need to put in the Quickflasher folder.

The thread is 25 pages long at this point today... that is quite a lot of reading. While I'd truly like to read all of that, it really isn't likely that enough time exists.

How about this, I installed the Finless rom with the device drivers that he provided. He included a Vista driver in his bundle (which is the OS I am using). Can I just install the .img files from your package with the software provided by Finless to install his?? If so, that would be ideal.

Alternatively, is there any other way to install Nitro using Vista? If not, I can go on to something else.

Win7 drivers must work, there is not so many people with vista, but we will correct the first post, the problems comes with windows 8 or 8.1, Vista should be used without problems.

EDIT: 3º post fixed.

Yes, you are right

XP/win2000 drivers works in Vista for sure, Vista in win7 can be conflict sometimes.

HDMI can support up to 8 raw channel at 24/192 ( if implemented by Minix). It would be great if we can make this work. Then I would not need a USB DAC and I could play multichannel audio file.

http://alsa.opensrc.org/DigitalOut

Is it possible to take the same approach as the «USB audio player» and bypass all the Minix audio section to avoid file downsampling ?

Regards,

When I first got the X7 I did some experimentation to get high-res stereo (to start with) audio over HDMI. I wrote something about these tests with alsa_aplay in the Minix forum
and although unsuccessful I received great feedback by stafsfrom (where are U ?).

As soon as I have some time available, I will carry out further tests with QS3.1/KitKat.
In the dmesg log the HDMI is reported to allow for multiple high-res sound formats (since
my A/V received advertises them), so I think there is still some room for hope
(without the expense of a USB DAC...)

Upload download speeds reversed

I did a speakeasy net speed test today using Dolphin browser and my Upload speed is 4X faster than my Download. I did the same test on my laptop and it is as expected in which my Download and faster than Upload.
Anyone have the same issue. This could explain why my World Cup streams keeps buffering.
<--World Cup logo!

Nevermind...something to do with my switch (tomato firmware router) settings that is causing it. Still have not figured it out yet.

Hi,
I have received today my minix X7 and the first thing I did was installing quicksoht V3.1
But I have a lot of flickering.
Tried the kernel for solving the problem, things are a little better, but I am not satisfied at all.

So, I would like to try Quickshot V2.
I read that I have to run flash tool for quicksoht V3 (KK) and Erase NAND, and then run flash tool for Quickshot V2 (JB) for installation.

BUT, In the tool I used to install the rom (RKDeviceManage) I don't have any button to erase NAND.
How can I come back to Quickshot V2 without bricking my minix ?

thanks for your help

I don't use QS 3.1 but the button you want is "erase IDB" to do the low level format. I think the count should hit 4096 otherwise its not erased correctly so do it again.

buffering problem with xbmc

im running quickshot 3.1 on my minix x7 and xbmc gotham 13.1 and im having buffering issues with a 25 mbs internet connection. It stutters and says my cache is full but i went in tool maintenance and changed to "0" cache limit and did a cache clear...any ideas?

Hi Demasiado.

I am reading about asound and ALSA, etc.. Could you please tell me how to access the dmesg log.

For those with a 24-96 + capable receiver, you can get USB to optical and coax sound converter for about 40$ on ****. Search CM6631 USB. The chip is quite cabable 2 channel 32 bit , 192 kHz but the audio will probably be limited by the spidf (coax optical) spec wich are 24 bit 96 kHz. The board use USB 5V supply but an externel supply would be better. I have a DAC based on that chip and I had problem with the USB 5 V on my PC. No driver are required (Linux build-in). Use with USB audio player .

The CM6632 chip is a USB multichannel chip but I have not find any DAC or converter base on that chip yet. HDMI would be the real option.

DTS passthrough via optical

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6621[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]6622[/ATTACH]

here are them. Pasthrough is working good with my device using spdif.

Well...DTS passthrough doesn't work in my case

The XBMC System/Audio settings screen looks different though !
I did a clean install of QS3.1 so I should have the fixed libmedia.so and XBMC version...
Same story with MX Player with latest custom codec.. no DTS to my receiver

Hi Demasiado.

I installed a sshd server on the X7 so I have full shell access with many commands including dmesg.
Otherwise, there are a few apps for dmesg, although I did not try any of them...

XBMC

Can someone please provide me with the XBMC.APK thats bundled into 3.1. I deleted it by accident.
