Finless ROM "tweaker" for the Neo X8 stock ROM BETA 004

[Finless]

Hey folks.... here is a tweaker update I made for the Minix Beta 004 7/1 ROM.

Hope you enjoy the speedy work to get this out on the same day as the BETA 004
Donations always welcome if you like this work.



WHAT THIS IS NOT:
This is not a ROM. This ZIP update modifies ONLY the Minix X8 BETA ROM 004 dated 7/1. It does not matter if you installed that BETA ROM from the flash tool or my update ZIP version.
DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER ROM!!!!!

WHAT THIS IS:
It is a update ZIP that modifies the Minix X8 BETA 004 7/1 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
3) It debloats the ROM of all those pre-installed APPS. Many APPs are still not the latest so best they are removed.
I left in Airplay and Minix XBMC
4) It removes useless system apps.
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.
6) Installs a cleaned up the AOSP launcher and puts more useful things in the doc bar.
7) Installs a working Calander APP that syncs with Google.
8) PS3 and Xbox now in stock ROM!
You do NOT need to use my xbox patcher with this update.
9) I unlocked the hard coded device ID in boot.img. You can now spoof different devices editing build.prop
REMEMBER THOUGH, if you spoof something other than a NEO-X8, Minix XBMC will not work.
In the ROM I left the device as a NEO-X8 but I also give you build.nexus which you can use if you like.
Just use EX File Explorer, turn on root, set system as mounted RW and rename these as you please.
But see #10 below for an easy way
10) I give you build.prop spoofer ZIP updates in this download!
One will switch build.prop to emulate a Nexus 10.
The other one will switch you back to a NEO-X8.
You can use these back and forth and they do not erase anything!
Please note: You may want to clear the cache and data on the Google Play Store, Google Play Services after switching!
To do this, go into settings/apps scroll over to ALL and click on each and clear cache and data.
You know you did it right if the next time you run Google Play it asks you to accept terms.
11) This time I also supply my CPU speed patchers in a folder called Cpu_fix.
See the README in that folder for what it is and does and how to use them!
12) Did a little "theming" this time. Hope you like it. Also Themed the Metro launcher
13) Other tweaks and mods I do for my ROMs.
14) Updated the boot logo to show if your booting up in 1080 or 720.

15) I did not have to modify the TCPIP buffers this time. Minix used my tweak from last time.


This is not a full Finless ROM but it is DAMN close .
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 7/1 BETA 004 release!.

If this BETA ROM proves stable, I will do a full Finless ROM later.

__________________________________________


DO NOT just copy this download ZIP to SDcard and expect it to work!
UNZIP it and read the README for instructions!

If someone posts again it does work with a footer error I WILL KILL YOU
Kidding... but man some people need to READ before jumping in head first!

I get something like "footer error"

Please read the instructions in red. As usual for Finless-Zips-unzip the package and you will find several files in it (including another ZIP which is the main ROM). All files (without manual) must be copies then into first level of a SD card and the flash process runs automatically after triggered by manual NEO update function.

wrong thread

[cuezaireekaa]

i dont know if this is the right place to ask but the finless device id patcher for beta 002 thread is no more..



I'm wondering if anyone has the device id's for beta 2 anymore? the ones that bob made. That is the only kernel (dated may 29th in AboutPhone)that allows my box to run for more than 15 mins without rebooting.

i have the 1008 mhz cpu fix (dated may 29th) which is what im using now flashed on top of beta 003 rom ..but when i use a beta 003 or 004 rom with their respective cpu fix, i get the reboots. Only when i use a cpu fix from beta002/may29th, my device is stable all day. dont ask me whats going on tho haha.
i would like the stock, 816mhz, and 1296 fixes if anyone still has them. i deleted them like a fool knowing that that was the last fw that works right on my box.


EDIT:i found the tweaker thread for beta002 but cant find the device id's and theyre not incl with the zip.

the device id/cpufix im currently using dates my kernel at may29th. and i just noticed the newly updated device id's/cpu fixes for finless rom 1.0 were posted on 6/7. i might try one of those if they are newer than beta002 but older than beta003 and if i cant find beta2 cpufixes.
sorry if im confusing.

Thanks for the tweaker, it installed fine but did not help with my issue as you can see in the attached photos. The device crashes/lock up and video output is corrupt. MINIX have asked me to send to them for analysis.

Looks Like Bad HDMI Cable

Those screen pictures look like symptoms of a bad HDMI cable or not making good connection. I only say that as it happened to me. Swap out cured it. U can try it..nothing to lose.
