Can Armada firmware be installed on our M8

[boOmLa]

Hi All, was searching the internet and found Armada rom what they call pure Linux box. But it is the m8 box with the exacte same spec.
I was wondering if it will go on flashing the rom om my M8 (Square) box ?

Here is the link to the box home page --> http://www.armadatvbox.com/


Thanx in advanced ...

Unless I'm mistaken, Code Red is the launcher that comes with their Android rom. For Linux, you are better off with CodeSnake's OpenElec on your M8 because it implements HDMI-CEC in full. Pure Linux doesn't at all.

Although I'm not 100% sure nope ... Armada rom is quite old dated 20140912

Well finless is using the July rom as far as I know. The kernel doesn't usually change anyway its just usually customizations. The interlace problem is more an xbmc thing though. I used a test build of kodi 15 and have no interlace issues yet even with sd since using the test build of kodi. I'll try the final and see how that goes

Ok, I couldn't resist and installed the Armada rom. Boy your right about the interlace problem, it was Big time.. Back to Justme 1.6.
Right now i have the MINIX launcher apk that I install over Justme rom 1.6 wich does not have an launcher.
Any one have succes installing the SUNui Launcher... It looks SO Awaysome... tried everything even changed the DPI but still no go, it crashes upon start...

I've tried that long time ago but crashed every single time ,so I gave up
Probably a DPI related issue

I've extracted the armada pure Linux firmware with TWRP. But it breaks the auto update for the firmware when restored to another box.
