[HardwareGuru]

OTA;
For everyone that has installed "Community Edition 2.1.0";
- You will recieve an OTA opdate automaticly.
- You dont have to flash anything, just wait till the update screen shows.

For everyone that does not have "Community Edition 2.1.0" installed;
- You need to manualy flash this firmware with the USB Flashtool

The future of CE;
This is not realy a CE release anymore.
This firmware is build as an "Official MINIX" release, so it has all proper MINIX logo's and background.
The reason we release it under "custom roms" is beqause MINIX has to approve it first.
Hopefully we can copy this topic to Official section soon. ( or we might do that on next release )

thank you sir

OTA update and root done in about 15 minutes (including download time). Excellent work @HardwareGuru, @gufone and @KAR.

A few hours of testing has revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Audio is fine (DD/DTS passthrough works), the system feels very responsive and all my old settings seem to be intact.

Thanks Molle!

Thinking about trying this on my UT2 Ugoos (RK3188T)....think it'll work?

[HardwareGuru]

The kernel might crash on the "T".. allthough i never tried..
How many GB storrage you have? you need at least a 16GB nand flash chip.

OTA upgrade went flawlessly yesterday but I also had to re-root and also redo my /system/usr/keylayout remote mappings again. Everything else was as it was before the upgrade and it made it nice and painless.

I have XVolume from xposed framework and it seems to still be installed and working but I guess I need to double check to ensure I still have 45 volume steps instead of the default 15.

how new is the kernal?

im using the quickshot v3.1 right now without issue and am hesitant to switch but if the kernal is from minix and then tweaked is it a new kernal? and if this is so new why is it still 4.4.2? is a 4.4.4 coming out soon or is a 5.0.2 coming out instead.... lastly if this is just another flavor of the old minix rom from last year i will wait for quickshot to release the cyanogen mod edition soon!

[HardwareGuru]

It is competely compiled from scratch.

micro stutter? or smooth as silk? that seems to be the only issue with most firmwares?

Minix Remote

Does this ROM has the correct button mapping for the Minix remote?

[choekstr]

Does this ROM has the correct button mapping for the Minix remote?

yes. it also supports several other remotes and I can confirm the A2 works as well as the default remote.
