    Tronsmart S89/S89H & Beelink S82/S82H/M8 - Finless 1.8 ROM

    OK folks so the 106K4 came out a week ago.
    Sorry for the delay in getting this out this time but I was working on the X8 and the poor ENY M8 box that needs lots of help!

    But, 1.8 has new stuff. Also a lot of the patchers needed for 1.7 are no more!
    Like Xbox and PS3, now built in.
    1080P-24hz built in!
    720P patcher available in download so no extra download!
    ETC... ETC... ETC...

    I have also tested this pretty heavily with the standard XBMC 13.1 Gotham!
    Seems to work great for me!


    ____________________________________

    This is based on the S82/S89 106K4 ROM.

    This is for the following devices:
    - Tronsmart S89 and S89-H
    - Beelink S82 and S82-H
    - Beelink M8 (black and red round box)


    This IS NOT for the ENY/Acemax EM8 square box!!!



    ____________________________________

    Features and release notes for my 1.8 ROM:

    1) Properly rooted using SuperSU and su binary is running as a daemon not a boot script!

    2) Updated Google framework and Play Store core files. The ones in the stock ROM were out of date.
    On first boot NOTHING will need to be updated once you logon to Google Play.
    That is as of this date.

    3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.
    There was quite a few useless hidden apps in this KitKat release! Some of them did not even work.
    I did remove XBMC and other pre-install APPs as well. I like a CLEAN ROM that you the user can setup the way you want. Having APPs in /system leaves that junk in there forever (unless you delete them by hand with a root explorer).
    If you want the original XBMC APP then download it from Geekbuying.com.
    I prefer the standard XBMC 13.1 Gotham though! Uses it all the time on this ROM while testing.

    4) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!

    5) I fixed the AOSP Launcher for several things:
    Removed the Google search bar by request.
    Added more than one screen for scrolling.
    Updated the dock icons to things more useful.
    Apps installed with Google Play will automatically be added to the home screen.
    I think you will like this launcher better

    6) Fix the bottom navigation bar.
    There was a bug in 106K in that on first boot the navigation bar is seen and it stuck there,
    even though in Mbox Settings it is set to hide the navigation bar!
    Before this fix you had to go into Mbox settings>screen and toggle hide bar off and back on to make it work.
    This is now fixed. It is hidden per the default Mbox settings on boot.

    7) By request I added the calendar APP and it now syncs with your Google account.

    8) By request I added a new KL file Vendor_03e7_Product_0d01.kl for the Mele f10pro.
    Special thanks to FreakTab user Biatsch for the file.

    9) Xbox and PS3 added to the ROM. No more patching required!
    FYI, woomg I think is still working on PS3 Bluetooth support.

    10) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
    I am spoofing a Samsung device (Nexus 10) that will show almost any APP as compatible.
    This should also allow Netflix HD but I have not tested it.
    Your device will show up in google play as Nexus 10 device not a S82/S89! Understand this please.
    I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
    If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
    Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
    Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
    Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a S82/S89.

    11) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to recovery for easier updates.

    12) Added bonus! CPU fixer patches!
    In this ZIP is a CPU_fixer folder. These zips can be used to adjust your minimum CPU frequency and Governor.
    See the README.txt in that folder for an explanation and how to install them.

    13) 720p fix patch!
    This is for people with 720P TVs and want stock XBMC to work e.g. like Gotham 13.1.
    In this download is a folder with the 720P patch and a unpatcher if you need it.
    In there is also the 720P patch compatible CPU Fixer patches.
    SEE THE README IN THAT FOLDER for an explanation of what the 720P patcher is all about.

    14) Carrier spoofs for better APP compatibility.

    15) The usual tweaks I do for better performance e.g. TCP buffers sizes, etc etc.

    16) Did a little "themeing" to the system. I hope you like it. I do

    ________________________________________________


    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!


    ________________________________________________



    OK so here is the download!

    READ the README.TXT in the zip for instructions!

      The link to Finless 1.8 does not seem to be working!

      I clicked the link to in you message: http://www.freak-tab.de/finless/s89_...ess18_pack.zip

      But, it's a dead link.

      Also, thank you very much for your work on these ROMS. You turned the Tronsmart from a piece of junk to one of the best TV boxes out there.

                Found a common bug

                FYI I found a bug that exists in ALL S802 ROM so far.

                That is logging onto Google Play the first time!

                DO NOT run the Play Store and login the first time from there. It will get hung up.
                You can recover but it's a PAIN.

                Instead used advanced settings>accounts

                Add the Google account from settings and it will work perfect!

                    Yes in fact Wassers' new ROM has some of 107K4 in it now.
                    The ability to software power down for instance.

                    I just hope Oman remembers to put in the 1080P 24hz selection as I am tired of adding it! ROYAL pain in the butt.

                    Unfortunately it looks like the AML sources will continue to lock the desktop to 1080P. No problem for people with 1080P TV's but 720P ONLY TV's either require a patched XBMC (which I do NOT like to do) or my 720P patcher
                    I am hoping soon they figure this 720P thing out as patching XBMC sucks and so does making the 720P only patcher from me

                      Thanks for the updates and changelog Bob, interesting to see / hear what will be in 107K4.

                      Does the 1080p24 work as auto frequency switching or am I mistaken that that is not available in Android / Amlogic yet please?

                      ie: I still use my old WDTV media player a lot as it auto supports switching between 1080p50 / 1080p60 / 1080p24Hz depending on the source video material.

                      thank you.
