There is definitely another version of the M8. It is using a different PCB board but they claim that is the only difference and uses same parts so I wouldn't really call it a clone. It is $2 cheaper compared to the original and may eventually end up being in every new M8. I may try a sample to make sure our FW works on them. If it is the same parts then who cares about a different pcb lol

Different PCB could lead to different hardware behavior like instability (crashs, etc.) , but I think the problem here is software related (of course, the combination between hardware and software).

Will try Washere sugestions.

As you have mentioned External parts and Packing Identical thats why I've asked to joperiera who is the seller cos its a different PCB ...

Actually we are not even sure whats going on But Many seller Gave me Price and said its Original M8!
I've asked what you mean by Original? is there a Clone M8? the answer was YES!

My guess is Bob needed to fix something since download link has been down this long.

I'm almost giving up and wait a few months before try it again.
Compared to Raspberry Pi, this box is ultra fast, nice implementation (I now have a propor ON/OFF option) XBMC is just... well... frustrating!
There are videos that not even start, let alone skipped frames or out of sync audio.

What else could I try?

uninstall oman xbmc, reinstall oman xbmc
don't change settings except all 3 hardware accelerators enabled
copy the advancedsettings.xml from my GUIDE THREAD

oman's = all 3 hardware accelerators enabled
if no picture but audio: only enable libstagefright, later sessions enable all 3 to test

############################

Install spmc xbmc, 13.3.0 apk

http://spmc.semperpax.com/

disable amcodec accelerator, enable other 2

############################

install both xbmc: Oman (link from my GUIDE THREAD) + SPMC at same time

compare at least 2 same videos from icefilms from same streaming source on both xbmc apps

############################

if no joy, your box might be problematic.

if no joy, install stane's Linux xbmc, compare.

Resign Zip?

Ok I have extracted the zip replaced some files. Remote.conf etc etc. I have used Android Kitchen to resign but still getting this error. what software should I use. . I did try to reflash but gave me E: Footer is wrong E Signature not verified.

No one is going to upload it to a alternative host because of this in the README FIRST.TXT

PERSONAL ASK PLEASE! Please respect my work!I ask that this ROM not be uploaded to file sharing sites or distributed elsewhere!
I want ALL users to get my ROMS from FreakTab. This way you KNOW your getting my work and the latest ROM available.
This is not a difficult request. Please respect my ask as if not, one day I may stop making ROMs.
Thank you!

Surprised no one has put up a new link yet. I'm on finless 1.7 is there even a reason to update?

[Phrozin]

Anyone got a alternate download link?

+1,download link please

[jopereira]

yes 1.8 is the best, upgrade

+

Koying is THE RK xbmc man but his xbmc works perfect since last night on AML square M8 for me too,
can keep your current xbmc too, have 2 xbmc installed
disable amcodec in video settings accelerators
