i can confirm that google voice is working, only problem is when i use google search and set language english (US), the search is working but it wont speak back to me like my phone does. Voice is searching but does not speak, like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znbjdbUOQu4

Also both USB ports working and there is no more sd card isssue.
Thank You!

edit: after restart "preparing storage, cheking for errors" is still coming back, so this error still present. You have to insert sd card to remove this warning.
Also in the settings there is no more location on/off setting so google maps not working, you cant enable location

keyboard not displaying

Hi

Sorry if this has been answered before but I'm having problem getting the onscreen keyboard to display using this firmware on my minix x7 mini.


This means I'm unable to type anything. Has anyone else had this problem?


Thanks

you have to disable hardware keyboard in build.prop, Please take a look at the first post

- added option to disable the hardware keyboard (add ro.hardkeyboard.support=false to
/system/build.prop to disable hardware keyboard )

Thanks Wasser

I might be being stupid here but how do I edit it without being able to use the keyboard. I've tried copying it onto an SD card but can't copy it back because its read-only.

Please help.

Hi, Wasser!
What about russian keyboard in XBMC?

[drjf]

Downgrade option

I want to flash this Kitkat ROM on my X7 Mini.

I'm using myX7 mainly for XBMC (new Minix-gotham version).
does XBMC work flawlessly (as it is now, in 1080p) in Full-HD mode?

But, in case i want to revert back to the old JB ROM (Quickshot), can I do that? If yes, how?


Please help.

Where is xbmc ?

Hello,

I've just flash my device lately last nigth and have a quick look at it. Didn't find xbmc... Which one should I try ?

Thank's for advice.

[chickenbox]

Sorry for my previous post...

Everything is ok after a good night...

[drjf]

Great !

I have flashed this wonderful ROM.
Everything works fine and it looks faster than the Quickshot (JB) that I had previously.

XBMC works fine too with pass-through option.
One issue with XBMC is that it crashes and takes us to the KK homescreen. This happens only rarely, though.

Another thing i found is that the screen alignment on the TV is not correct. There is a black bar on the left of the TV screen and there is no option to move the frame vertically and/or horizontally. Only option is to expand and contract.

Anyway, thanks WASSER for the wonderful ROM.

Just wondering how did you make the XBMC passthrough option to work... After enabling pass through in settings, stereo material is still fine but with any DTS or DD sound I just get random noise on my receiver.

I've just migrated from a Quickshot / Beyond XBMC 3.3 setup on my Minix, and DTS worked fine, so this is not a receiver config issue.

It looks like the libmedia.so in Kitkat is not patched, unless wasser used a custom version with the patch, but in the case the XBMC version should be aware and use that patched version too.

Aside from the DTS pass through issue, this FW / XBMC combination works great. 1080p plays with no issues, fluid interface, everything looks more responsive than my previous setup and no problems so far. Great work!

Anyone has successfully played DTS/DD material with pass through in XBMC 13.1 in kitkat? maybe I'm missing something...

Thanks!
