    MK808B-Plus - Finless ROM 1.0

    OK finally got some time to work on this stick. I will say it's not bad for a stick!
    CPU is only clocked at 1488. Wish I could overclock it myself and add better cooling but alas, this requires a kernel.

    Anyway here is my for ROM for this stick. It's basically all the stuff I have been doing on all my AML S802/S805 ROMs recently.


    Also special thanks to Geekbuying for sending me this stick. You can get it here:

    Features and release notes for my 1.0 ROM:

    1) It roots the ROM properly and is not using any scripts!
    Let me tell you Rooting on Kitkat in the ROM itself gets harder all the time to do it correctly and not using scripts! Once again due to changes with SuperUser and SU with SELinux, it was more difficult to root the ROM so it did not need to update the SU binary on first boot! Enjoy...

    2) Updated Google framework core files. The ones in the stock ROM were out of date.
    On first boot NOTHING will need to be updated once you logon to Google Play.
    That is as of this date.

    3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.
    There was quite a few useless apps! Some I have no clue what they even were!
    I did remove XBMC and other pre-install APPs as well. I like a CLEAN ROM that you the user can setup the way you want.
    Having APPs in /system leaves that junk in there forever (unless you delete them by hand with a root explorer).
    NOTE: The XBMC that came with the stock ROM is in this ZIP package. Feel free to install it if you like.

    4) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
    This time around due to updated security in 4.4, init.d was a lot harder to get working.
    Again I had to figure it out!

    5) I add the AOSP Launcher and modified several things:
    Removed the Google search bar by request.
    Added more than one screen for scrolling.
    Updated the dock icons to things more useful.
    Apps installed with Google Play will automatically be added to the home screen.
    I think you will like this launcher better

    6) I give you a TWRP recovery! Yes this flashes a TWRP recovery to NAND.
    This one has been fixed with MK808B-Plus kernel and KO modules as well as fixed errors due to fstab.
    Now, understand how recovery works.
    If you put a recovery.img on External SDcard the box will boot that recovery instead of TWRP in NAND.
    In this package I give you a stock recovery.img.
    Just copy that out and put it on SDcard anytime you want to use the stock recovery instead of TWRP.

    7) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
    I am spoofing a Samsung device (Nexus 10) that will show almost any APP as compatible.
    I left the original build.prop in /system called build.orig
    You can use ES File Explorer to edit the names and switch back if you like.

    8) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to recovery for easier updates.

    9) Adjusted some permissions so stock XBMC/KODI works.

    10) Carrier spoofs for better APP compatibility.

    11) Fixed issues with some streaming APPs like Bell TV.

    12) The usual tweaks I do for better performance e.g. TCP buffers sizes, etc etc.

    13) Did a little "themeing" to the AOSP Launcher stock wallpaper.

    14) Updated the boot logo to show if your booting up in 1080 or 720.

          confirmed

          This is working pretty good on my MXQ s85. WiFi especially. I tried the MINIX x6 but that was a no go but by using the stock recovery and renaming the MINIX .zip I got it to start booting at least lol. Saw the MINIX splash screen lol. Thanks so much Bob! You DA man!

          P.s. so I guess Roms for mk808b plus and mxq s85 are interchangeable.

            They both appear to be board model m201 just have some thing removed from the mk808bp

              I wish!

              I'd love to try the MINIX firmware on my mxq but it just won't boot. I think it has something to do with emmc. The MINIX recovery wouldn't even boot.

                    The usb to ethernet adapter don't work in the stock firmware. don't know if bob fix it in your custom rom.

                    but i have send the tronsmart usb to ethernet adapter to factory, and ask them to do the modify. they said they have fixed that in the new firmware, and will release the new firmware soon for the mk808b plus.

                          II can't confirm that LAN works on the mxq with mk808bp rom although I do see LAN option in android settings. WiFi and the power button definitely work. Haven't had much time to check anything else unfortunately. But the install went pretty smooth booted up fine and interface was smooth. Would be really cool if we could over clock this thing as its really cheap and runs pretty cool and its about half the price of the MINIX x6

                          P.s. I know I know we need the kernel lol. Thanks Bob!

                            Bob,
                            The archive .zip instead recovery.img present - xbmc.apk
                            According to the README FIRST.TXT must be present - recovery.img

                              he forgot I guess

                              Ya the zip was missing the recovery file but I used the stock one from my mxq firmware and it worked perfect.
