NEW - Finless 1.8 for EM8 Square Box

[Finless]

Hi, i have a 16GB version of M8 square.
In which file is the partitioning information.
The update-script contains only information which partition should be formatted.

Thanks for the support

There is NO FILE that controls this. It's in the kernel.

I'm using Finless 1.8 for some time now and I'm very happy so far. Since my M8 arrived I have tried out many roms but this is best one. Some highlights:

1080p 24Hz setting
The 1080p 24Hz setting provides excellent playback of 23.796fps movies in both XBMC and MXplayer. Using this setting my Netflix is smoother than ever. No HD of course but the stutter with horizontal movements and pan shots is gone.

I also tried the Motionbar testfile for 24.976 fps. The fast upper bar is a little fuzzy (shaking) but moves smooth form right to left. Strange thing is that the fuzziness is gone when you bring up the on screen menu in XBMC.

On/off switch
Working at last. I can now switch my M8 on and off using the remote. Blue light problem solved.

Playstore
Working fine both free and paid apps.

But I did find some minor problems:

5Ghz WiFi
Somehow my 5Ghz WiFi does not show up. It does in other roms I tried. No biggie

Black screen in some video apps
Apps like Dailymotion and Ziggo (Dutch Live TV app) show no video. The sound is playing but the video stays black. I'm sure this can be solved because these apps work fine on the Minix X8 I heard.

Also buffering all the time.

Using Finless 1.8 ROM. Loading movies takes ages....., even with Oman's XBMC and advancedsettings.xml. Looking forward to a fixed version!

What a ROM version you use? And what about interlace ?

Its there mate

I am currently testing Kodi 14 alpha 2, apparently there was a big Amlogic S802 fix in it. Only been a day but so far very stable

What a ROM version you use? And what about interlace ?

Re: NEW - Finless 1.8 for EM8 Square Box

I am guessing you are having the same issues i had with stanes android and linux fw's because the developers had an older box than ours and the hardware changed since then and something is not compatible with the new boards and the older roms !!!

With companies changing boards like they are throwing frisbees at us i think this issues will be a major headache for all of us !!! Both rom developers as well as end users !!!
