NEW - Finless 1.8 for EM8 Square Box

I have a big issue with this rom the issue is that my M8 Overheats when playing games like Asphalt 8 or Dungeon Quest.

it overheats and freezes my whole box.

the only reason I got the rom was for the XBOX Controller support for my Logitech F310

is there any way to fix this issue I have already installed Setcpu to change the CPU Freq I lower it when playing games but it still freezes kinda desperate at this point.

It only freezes when playing games like Asphalt 8 and Dungeon Quest I can play them for like an hour to 2 hours than the box freezes and is hot to the touch.

I think is has something to do with the Kernel not sure though.

Maybe ,not sure you can try his CPU patcher that came along with the firmware it might solve your problem..but i dont know which one to use as i dont use my box(M8) for gaming..

I can already do that with SetCpu hmmm I look around google to see if there is a fix for this.

Ill try setting the Governor to Interactive when gaming on the box to see if it fixes it.

Are you sure it's because of overheating and not because of a bad PSU?

Yes im sure its an over heating issue and it only freezes when im playing games like Asphalt 8 and Dungeon Quest.

its hot to the touch too but its only when im gaming im guessing its the games since they are really cpu intensive.

but other apps like XBMC work perfectly fine no overheating at all.

I also have a PSP Emulator I can play that for hours and the box doesn't freeze and it isn't as hot as when im playing Asphalt 8 and Dungeon Quest thats weird.

You can also try to use 'StabilityTest (ROOT optional)'

to check if it only happen at CPU (Classic Stability Test) or at CPU+GPU (CPU+GPU Stability Test) ...

How long should I leave it running for?

Until the boxes freezes up? or is it a set amount of time?

Edit: no crashes yet

I would say, use the same time as you get the freeze at the game(s), but 1:44 hour seems to be enough to exclude overheating (or is it much cooler at touch-test?)...

its little cooler but i stopped it at 2:14 ill run it again later ill leave it on for longer.

but after I played some games on my PSP emulator while the box was hot and it didn't freeze.

its weird I can play psp emulator games all i want but games like Asphalt 8 freeze after an hour or 2.

Stuck at splashscreen

Installed om my box, when I booted I get 1080p splash screen, waited 5 mins, but didn't boot, so as in a hurry put old ROM back on. Does this take a long time to boot after install or something? or am I not going to be able to run this build. think I have a clone. Is there anything else I can try to get it going?

Cheers

Every time I try to boot into recovery I get this screen. I can't flash anything nor control the selection on screen with the remote, keyboard or mouse. Anyone seen this before? I read through the whole thread and nobody mentions this at all.

Thanks!

Edit: I am currently on finless 1.6 trying to upgrade to 1.8.

My 1.7 ROM is still here and you can download it and flash it if you need to go back.
Backing up a AML ROM requires knowing a little linux and using ADB.

Hello is there anyway I can get my remote to access the keyboard. I've tried the remote fix, still can't select characters in the on-screen keyboard. Try to flash your ime on screen keyboard zip to replace old keyboard. Turned it on under settings & selected default to the keyboard. Still only works with my wireless keyboard.

problem of connecting the monitor

Hello. After installing Finless 1.8 on M8 Amlogic S802 the device stopped issuing hdmi video signal to a monitor that has a native resolution 1280 x 1024. When connecting another monitor that has a native resolution 1920 x 1080 - everything is fine. What to do, please tell me.

P.S.
LifeForce changed firmware and it worked. And worked faster than Finless 1.8. We assume this lab testing firmware: Finlessware in a bucket.

Probably a stupid question but where is the phisical reset button?

Physical reset button

Probably a stupid question but where is the phisical reset button?

The physical reset button is well hidden. It is inside the AV connector, yes you read it correctly. Stick a toothpick in the AV connector, aim at to the top, and you feel a click. Those funny Chinese . Put your box in downloadmode: disconnect the powercord, press and hold the reset button and reconnect the power. Wait for about 10 seconds to release the reset button.

Thanks mate, did it. really odd though.
Anyway it does work great, the only problem is when i try to shut it down i reboots but i can live with that...
Is there any app to use my smartphone as a remote for it?
