[ROM] Gamestick CFW v1.3 :)

[niabi]

Here is the CFW for the PlayJam Gamestick


Please keep in mind that I put this rom together for my personal use, so you might not agree with the settings or the apps (very few) I have pre-installed, but lucky for you, you can modify/uninstall all of them with ease


a few features:

• Xbox 360/Ps3 controller support, modules compiled by me, I've tried the Xbox wired and wireless (with the USB adapter)
• GAPPS pre-installed
• build.prop tweaks (thanks to Finless) The stick will identify itself as a google TV device, but you can download any app from the store
• SPMC is pre-installed, as it was the best XBMC I found for the stick, it runs 1080p movies without a problem
• Very streamlined ROM, no watchdogs, no background running apps, but this also means you have to manually pair your gamepad
• init.d support
• XBMC permission fix (thanks to Ant)
• Many other small tweaks
• Remote IME support

How to install: (you will need a USB keyboard)


Copy the firmware to an SD card and put it in your gamestick.
Disconnect your gamestick from the USB power.
Using your fingernail (I use a paperclip) press downward on the little button besides the USB. Alternatively, if you can, install Quickboot, and reboot into Recovery
While still pressing the button, connect the USB power and wait around 5-10 seconds, you should see the recovery screen.
Select the second option, then Sdcard, finally select the FW
it will start installing, make sure you don't power off your gamestick until it finishes!
Reboot and you should be set, I recommend after the initial setup reboot your stick once again.


The risk of bricking is VERY small, but I guess its still possible so flash this with caution and do it under your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your stick


You can always return to stock ROM the same way


And if you use this, please let me know if you find any problems.

Just asking why this is posted in the TV player area and not in the gaming devices area?
Something I am missing?

Well the only "gaming" part that remains is the name, other than that its more like an ATV120 stick.

but feel free to move it if necessary

Just got mine in the mail for $20.
Awesome price for a dual core android stick.
Played around with it and now can't wait to put this on it and use it as a standard TV stick/Mame device.
I'll have to pick up a spare microsd over the weekend and give it a try.

Thanks.

Edit:
I'm guessing I need to plug the game stick into a powered hub in order to use the keyboard?

[leafar]

nice piece of hardware

Thanks Niabi
For $20 device with Bluetooth control its freaking nice, the only thing I have to open the device for the reset button.
With Bluetooth control , I play two games the riptide, soul calibur and the Bluetooth control respond pretty well.
The GPU the video its not good, but no complaints
Good job man

I just used the keyboard on the y connector included

[niabi]

The button is accessible without opening, it's kind of hard to press but use a small paperclip, and push downwards, no inside

[nitrogen_widget]

Oh good.
I was wondering if the power adaptor worked as a hub.

what about the gamestick controller, will that work with this rom?

Thanks again.

Yes it will, but you need to pair it manually in Bluetooth settings

This appears to be working marvelously.
My only issue was I had to take the case off the gamestick because the button wasn't hitting the reset switch for some reason.
So once I was able to hit the button everything went smoothly.

I had an IpazzPort mini keyboard & touch pad I wasn't using that I paired up.
The game pad paired up also just fine.

I'm definetly buying another gamestick & doing this again.

that damn reset button is hard to press :S I have no idea wy they did it like that.

I am glad you are liking it

Wish I lived in the US, at $20, I would buy 5 :P (which is what my ATV120 cost me :S )
