    Finless ROM "tweaker" for the Neo X8 stock ROM BETA 007

    Hey folks.... here is a tweaker update I made for the Minix Beta 007 7/22 ROM.
    Pretty much the same tweaks I did for 006.
    EXCEPT by request I added a lower "low CPU" value of 408 for the CPU tweaker.

    Hope you enjoy the speedy work to get this out fast for BETA 007?

    Donations are always welcome if you like this work! I have to say, unlike the RK folks... the AML X8 folks have been pretty bad on donations! But that's OK. I don't want to twist your arm on a donation! It does not drive what I like to do or and work on stuff. Only thing I will say is, donations does drive what boxes I work on as that gives me an indication of what needs the most work and who is willing to belly up and get me motivated



    WHAT THIS IS NOT:

    This is not a ROM. This ZIP update modifies ONLY the Minix X8 BETA ROM 007 dated 7/22. It does not matter if you installed that BETA ROM from the flash tool or my update ZIP version. BUT YOU MUST AT LEAST HAVE FLASHED BETA 007!!!!
    DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER ROM!!!!!



    WHAT THIS IS:

    It is a update ZIP that modifies the Minix X8 BETA 006 7/17 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!
    By request I added a lower "low CPU" value of 408 for the CPU tweaker.
    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 7/22 BETA 007 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!

                  No clue! My tweaker is to be used on the stock ROM and that is what it was tested with.

                    OK Finless.

                    Will give it a try.
                    Guru rom is stock to so maybe it will work.

                        It worked for me! You sure your clicking reboot recovery and not reboot bootloader?

                          Tried to reboot to recovery several times now and every time it has factory reset the box. I have followed the installation instructions and everything else seems OK.

                            Reinstalled 007 Beta and Finless tweaks several times but each time booting to recovery only resets the box.

                              hello
                              after having flashed finless tweaker the remote minix app doesn't work, even if I've enabled the repmote control from minix settings.
                              when I open the minix remote app on my phone and I press on the search icon in order to look up for my minix x8-h, it doesn't find nothing.

                              maybe it was removed on the minix an app useful for the pairing with the remote app on the smartphone?
                              ..or maybe it seems that in order to work on my minix x8-h the device name on android must be set on minix x8-h and not minix x8..if so how can I change my device name??
