Beelink S82/S82H/M8/MXIII & Tronsmart S89/S89H - Finless 2.0 ROM

I am waiting for AML to get their codec act together before I work on another.
But yes I do plan to continue working with this box!

Hello bob? Will there still be support or anymore release roms for the s82 and mxiii .. ur work is greatly appreciated

i cant speak for bob, but i suspect he is just waiting for the next firmware to come out that has some bug fixes like 1104 for instance, i think was him that said 1104 was BARELY better at all then 1094, and thats why he didnt make a new rom off it...EDIT read post 270

I have a question. Any idea why no sound is being output from the SPDIF optical out? It worked before I installed this ROM. I've tried all three settings HDMI, PCM, etc.

thanks for the great ROM btw

EDIT: I found the setting.

PS. I need to learn to read before posting questions. My bad. Cheers!

We have all been there...lol.

I just installed this rom on a 2gb MXIII but the wifi won't work. During the config wizard it wont display my access point. Any ideas?

If I try to use the ethernet instead, it says "ethernet connecting....." but nothing happens. It wouldn't let me upload another pic.

Does anyone know what the problem is? I feel like i broke the box

IT WORKS NOW, I JUST HAD TO FINNISH THE WIZARD AND GO BACK INTO SETTINGS

Sorry if this has been asked, but is this rom available for the 1gb MXIII?

NO, because of different WiFi-chip-set....

thanks for this

Just wanted to step in with a big thanks to Bob & this ROM. S-89-H + Finless 2.0 +SPMC , this is the first Android box I've had that pretty much does all I wanted it to do.
Many many thanks for your work on this

Nice one, I'm away for the next couple of weekends so I won't have time to test it out for a while but I'll let you know when I do.

I've set up SSH access so I can create the script on my PC and upload it via SFTP

BTW:
Before the mount you should insert

while [ ""`getprop dev.bootcomplete` != "1" ] ; do sleep 1; done

because this ensures that the system is up and the lan/wifi is ready...

Nice! +100!

I wouldn't wonder if it also works without 'su -mm' at init.d.... OK, I only use NFS and not CIFS but never have had a problem with it like TrancerSte described when using it at init.d (also at s802 e.g. minix x8-h)...

[Finless]

Just make an init.d script!

Using ES File explorer and making sure you set system as RW do this

Go into /system/etc/init.d
Make a new file
edit this file and put in it:

#!/system/bin/sh
su -mm
mount -o username=youruser,password=yourpassword -t cifs \\\\192.168.0.*\\sharename /sdcard/cifs

Now rename the file to 01cifs
Do not put a .sh extension on the name.

Now set the permissions of the file to:
rwx rwx rwx

When you reboot this should run and set you up. Please allow a little bit of time for the script to run once you see the launcher show up.

I got CIFS mounts working!

First off great stuff with the ROM - your work is really appreciated.


I thought I'd share something cause this has been messing with my head for ages! I mentioned a while ago that I had CIFS mounting sort of working on the stock ROM with the Chinese SU app but I was unable to fix it on Finless' ROM.


So a bit of background: even though the ROM and kernel both support and mount CIFS just fine, only the app that makes the mount is able to see the content. CIFS Manager claimed to mount the share but no files were visible in ES File Explorer. This was replicable in a terminal session using the mount command - the contents of the share were visible from the terminal with ls but not in file browsers, media players etc.


It's due to the way Android handles multi-user storage (/storage/emulated/sdcard) - there's some more info here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106480

It turns out there's a switch in SuperSU that creates the mount at a lower level, so they are visible to all users/processes:

https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/hLKytCwUm6k

So to mount CIFS shares:


Launch Terminal Emulator and su with the --mount-master switch (-mm) then mount the share as normal:


su -mm
mount -o username=youruser,password=yourpassword -t cifs \\\\192.168.0.*\\sharename /sdcard/cifs


The double slashes are needed to escape the special backslash character.


I can now point Poweramp to /sdcard/cifs and play the whole music library on my NAS


Manually typing the long-ass command into terminal with an air mouse each time you reboot your box is not ideal but it's a good enough workaround for now. Anyone know if this can be made to work in fstab, or can knock up a script?


Damn that was much more difficult than it needed to be!
