I don't think this box can real dual boot. It's only in the title and isn't mentioned in the description again.

This one actualy has dualboot, but it's necessary to boot first on android and after that with an application it boots to Linux. And developers are working on full dualboot right now from what i understand. http://www.dotsmart.ro/ Its a S802 H based player.

Just use a different "logo.img" File from a different Souce Ex: OpenELEC 5.0.6, or the One from inside your Stock ROM. (Of course you'll have to find the corresponding MicroSD Three File *.zip) File(s) first. Unless you already have 'em. Then you just go into TWRP and hit Install, and point to the *.img (Note you may have to hit the bottom Button to switch from Zip to Image though.), File and, then swipe to install it.

As to a more custom job I'd recommend you go read this first, and if you still have any questions to ask Uncle Google.
it's enough to say its possible, but its neither as simple or as ultimately safe as re-using a different logo.img. As the encoded *bmp's have to be the same Size (in deminsions, as in File Size!), for it to work. Its not something I've really gotten all that into TBH.

my guess would be to try swapping out the "logo.img" File... Or using something like TWRP (Where you can! And, I gather the S82 indeed can!), to flash a different logo.img File to your Device. I've done this a few times with MediaTek Phablets, and as long as the Files are "compatible", this shouldn't be a problem. Though I take no responsibility for whatever you decide to do.

Thanks Jeo, I am not tek savey, but it seems U have a vast knowledge of the process, could you please drawn-out a simple guide for the benefit of novice like me, just a dummy steps if it not too much of work for you.
I have TWRP
so, what is the foramt and size the replace logo?
where to save the logo .img file, and
and how to point TWRP to log locate or point to the file
something alonge these lines with less techno bubbles
Thanks for your kind supports most appreciated in advance

If failed to install try recovery from your specific device ie: if MXIII use MXIII recovery instead of bundled recovery.

Thanks I failed to mentioned that my system is S82, sorry I am not tek guy, what do mean by recovery-Thx for your assistant.

Hi vermillion you had ref 5.0.8 is becoming available" does this mean is still work in progress or fully functioning? Any way I gave s82 a try yesterday but it fails to completely installation, although it displayed Google TV logo but did not launch openelec, has anyone tried, pls share your experiences.

Hello guys, i need to add a string for set a static physical address for CEC, because i have in the middle of the CEC chain an AVR not compatible.
So i need to set in cec_config:
physical address: 1100

how can i do that? On the RPi i can do that directly from the gui but here there isn't the part of the cec configuration so i must edit manually the cec_config file...
Thanks in advance.

Maybe the MXIII build would work with 2GB MXIII but then you can only use 1GB RAM. I think if you have 2GB version you should use S82 build.
If you you don't know what RAM size you have you could look for information in your actual firmware. In Android under settings -> apps -> running apps.
