* Xiialive pro radio again (long list of fave talk & music stations + saved searches)

I was going to post my settings file from backup but decided against it. Lots of goodies in notifications, apps drawer, other screens.

Might post cheap goodies to buy for this box I found useful if I get time.

Thanks to geekb and his source for 0617 & specially to Bob for a superb v1.7 ROM with optimisation & extras, can't fault it after a little optimising. Runs like a quad phone, immaculate.

Are you using standard remote with this launcher?

[Guest]

Standard remote behaves the same on this & other ROMs' launchers & has a few uses. I use several devices depending on task, mainly an airmouse.

yep these launchers good if you have got touchscreen device or an airmouse ...

MediaBox Launcher animations needs to be removed or fixed a.s.a.p but sadly manufacturers dont seem to be very interested in how it performs

[Guest]

Functionality is the same on all multiple desktops + icons based launchers for serious users. Horrible Win8 style mosaic Tile_Launchers, like MediaBox or MiniX_Metro which are garden-walled are OK for kids or elderly or novices I guess. For any serious Android box user or in fact proper smart TV, a good airmouse is indispensable.

1.7 is performing well because Bob fine tuned & tested it with a serious launcher which he packaged in.

Hence this unit not comes with an airmouse mediabox or minix style launcher is the most optimised solution no matter these are for kids or adults lol
P.s poor mediabox launcher performance is not related to fw
