It looks ok to me ...
By the way is that a Projector? Looking Great!

For some reason this FW fails the verification process for me. So does 1.7 - even though I have installed it before. The linux build works and going back to my custom ROM works, but I can't get it to install.

This is what I get:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I have not unzipped it or anything, just downloaded and put onto SD card. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

READ THE README.TXT in the ZIP download for instructions!
The ZIP download has the ROM and other goodies inside.
DO NOT simply put this ZIP download on SDcard and expect it to work!!!

if you did unzip as TMx said and still a problem:

can't remember seeing a checksum for these ROMs, might be bad download, download again.

out of interest: if you know DOS fc command, do it to compare the 2 files

factory reset a couple of times before flashing

go to recovery via hard reset physical button

Ahhh of course lol....I'm so dumb sometimes. I was wondering because I have been on 1.7 FW before and just tried reflashing it. NOW I know why! Hahahaha

+100.... I don't get why people wont read what I say when it's in giant red letters just before the download link!

Thanks TMx for taking the time to tell people to READ THE README!

Bob,

Does 1.8 have any of your Franken-ROM work from 1.8beta?

It seems better still though.

I actually did unzip lol I was looking at the wrong file...the downloaded file is em8_finless_rom18.zip and the actual ROM is em8_finless18.zip haha....kept transferring the wrong one!

I guess the answer is not, mostly the recent acemax/geekbuying code probably.

It has some things from that ROM but it's not that ROM. I learn and use. Can I leave it at that for a little bit.

That's a good set with future potential for sure even if this new one is slightly zippier and maybe more relevant, probably should have called this 1.9.

Thanks, no problems yet.

"It looks ok" means I should have no problem installing Finless 1.8?

My home cinema setup: yes, is a projector pared with a 120" floating screen (MDF painted with Black Widow Ultra) and led strip backlight all around the edges, which gives it a nice 3D perception, increases black level perception and looks cool!
