Hey folks.... here is a tweaker update I made for the Minix Beta 008 08/09 ROM.
Pretty much the same tweaks I did for 007.
EXCEPT by request I fixed the Google Contacts sync with your Google account.
Hope you enjoy the speedy work to get this out fast for BETA 008?
WHAT THIS IS NOT:
This is not a ROM. This ZIP update modifies ONLY the Minix X8 BETA ROM 008 dated 08/09. 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 008!!!!
DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER ROM!!!!!
WHAT THIS IS:
It is a update ZIP that modifies the Minix X8 BETA 008 08/09 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) By request I fixed the Google Contacts sync. Contacts (People APP) will now sync with your account.
9) PS3 and Xbox now in stock ROM!
You do NOT need to use my xbox patcher with this update.
10) 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
11) 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.
12) 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!
I added a lower CPU value of 408mhz.
13) Did a little "theming" this time. Hope you like it. Also Themed the Metro launcher
14) Other tweaks and mods I do for my ROMs.
15) Updated the boot logo to show if your booting up in 1080 or 720.
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 08/09 BETA 008 release!.
If this BETA ROM proves stable, I will do a full Finless ROM later.
