          First boot takes a while to settle down also because of the pre-install app script which installs AirPin Pro. The stock ROM takes even longer due to more apps installing.

          Also you will notice every boot it takes a few seconds for the sound to work. So always give it a few seconds to settle down after booting.

              All the patch IDs release the ability for build.prop to spoof any device you want. Without the patch your stuck as a NEO-X8-H. The 4 patchers also allow CPU minimum CPU speed and interactive CPU gov. If you don't know what that is or don't care, then use the CPU_stock and just let it patch your ID.

                Fantastic ROM.

                Is it possible to have the notification bar at the top of the screen always shown ?

                Seems to hide away on the stock launcher and I cannot even display it in nova launcher.

                I am trying to use the X8 as a PC.

                Thank you.

                  Is there anyway to make it work in 1080P 24hz? I don´t know if it´s a hardware or sorftware issue??

                    Questions on CPU Cores & Temperatures

                    What is the normal operating range of temperatures of the CPU Cores ?

                    I seem to be getting temperatures of 60c when idle and I wanted to know if this seems a normal temperature.

                    Also i noticed that CPU0 and CPU1 are normally active while CPU 2 and CPU3 are mainly offline.

                    I presume this is due to the hotplug scaling as i had flashed the following zip file.

                    cpu_fix_stock_lf.zip
                    Min Frequency 96000 (this is back to stock).
                    Max Frequency 1992000
                    Scaling Hotplug

                    Thank you.

                      Thank you.

                      Based on what we know so far yes the hotplug keeps the last 2 CPUs off until they are needed. This is why the CPU patches I provided set it to interactive. The low CPU some have said effects the launcher lag and possibly other apps as it takes a little time for the speed to ramp up thus the idea is set the low CPU to 816 or higher so it does not have to ramp up from such a small limit like 96.

                      HOWEVER, people have reported heat issues on some boxes! That is the CPU is slowing down to control CPU temps which may not be valid! I do not expect to see that on the X8 though. It appears to be only on early M8's and S89/S82's. For me all of my S802 boxes have no CPU slow downs for heat issues but other M8 and S89 users report issues even on stock! We do not know why we are seeing differences like this other than "RUMORS" of some AML processors having this problem.

                      My suggestion would be to try them and watch what your temps do. No one I know has fried their box using these but again USE AT YOUR OWN RISK is all I can say about it.

                        Thanks for your explanation as I understand this better now.

                        So basically these patches are just for increasing the minimum frequencies to eliminate lag.

                        I have not noticed much lag really so i am just using the default values with the hotplug governor.

                        What temperatures do you get in idle mode ? Does 60C sound too high ? I have no ideas what range my CPU should be in.

                        Thanks again.

                          I have not really used any temp apps to monitor what's is going on. Reason is some think they do not work correctly. I go by how hot my CPU feels with the cover off.

                          But there are a LOT of discussions about it here:

                          Do some reading and see what you find. I don't think 60C internal core temp is a problem but is that real?

                              I installed the rom last night and installed omans xbmc and noticed it was more laggy than the minix version. Any suggestions to improve the lag.
