Finless "tweaker" for the Minix X8 stock ROM BETA 6/13

[Finless]

Hey folks.... this really is for people that know what they are doing.

WHAT THIS IS NOT:
This is not a ROM. This ZIP update modifies ONLY the Minix X8 BETA ROM dated 6/13. It does not matter if you installed that BETA ROM from the flash tool or my recently released ZIP version.
DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER ROM!!!!!

WHAT THIS IS:
It is a update ZIP that modifies the Minix X8 BETA 6/13 ROM.

WHAT IT DOES:
1) It erases NAND /data so YES you loose all data! Sorry I must do this for clean up!
2) It roots the ROM properly by flashing a modified boot.img. That is the ONLY thing changed in boot.img. Nothing else but adding a daemon call for root.
3) It debloats the ROM of all those OUT DATED pre-installed APPS.
What a MESS! 11 outdated apps get pre-installed...
I left the Minix XBMC and Air Play Pro. Everything else that is out of date anyway is removed.
4) It removes useless system apps like some that don't even work!
5) It updates what APPs are left including Google Play and all the Google framework.
As of this release, everything is updated so when you logon to Google Play nothing needs updating. I never understood why new factory ROMs do not have at a minimum gmscore and vending updated to begin with? Yes I know they maybe updated quickly by google after a ROM release but these are weeks old. This is very common which is why custom ROMs exist. Nothing like first boot and having a messy system.
6) Installs a cleaned up launcher and puts more useful things in the Dock Bar.
7) This installs a properly working Calendar APP that will sync with your Google account.
8) Of course I themed the boot screen logo and bootanimation. Sorry... gotta support freaktab

This is not a full Finless ROM. It does NOT do all the things I do in a Finless ROM release! This is only a quick tweaker and ONLY for use on the Minix 6/13 BETA release!.

If this BETA ROM proves stable, I will do a Finless ROM later.
Unfortunately for me, this ROM is not stable. Antutu wont even make it to 14% without a total hang of the system. But that's why it is a BETA ROM! There are some good things in it though that I do like. Minix is on the right track.

No instructions. I expect you to know what your doing if your using a BETA ROM and how to use a ZIP update.

DO NOT UNZIP THIS DOWNLOAD! Put it on SDcard and use recovery or the update APP to install it!
