Stupid question?

[himanen]

Shouldn't in theory alla the Amlogic devices like

Amlogic S802 Quad-Core Cortex-A9 Android 4.4

user each others Roms and such?

Perhaps a stupid question but you dont learn if u dont ask

[no_spam_for_me]

no,
this square one is different from this collection

MXIII(2G) version = Beelink M7B = Beelink M8B = All S82 serial(Transmart vega S89/measy b4a/......) = xxx(Coming soon)

All these can be used the same FW.

(MXIII(2G) and M7B also square ones)

and the MXIII(1GB) need also an own FW

and it seams so that at the CSM8 there exist different PCB's so it needs different FW's...

OK yes they will but the answer is far more complex.

If you take the DTB area and use it on ANY S802 kernel and ANY ROM, you can get it working. This is new in KitKat and Google sources. It makes the kernel be more generic and the DTB area describes specific hardware. I have ported every ROM made by anyone to any device using this procedure (which I will explain later when I have time).

BUT... some things don't always work e.g. where settings allow changes to device specific hardware. Then you must edit the system APK's (like settings) to work with certain things. THAT is the hard part!

Hope this helps,
