NEW - iMito MX1 - Finless ROM 1.4 - Root, debloat, init.d support

[Somatom]

According to the Geekbuying site:

Actually,the MX1 and MX2 use the same boards, same OS, same firmware, just the case is difference, the MX1 use the aluminum case, however, the MX2 use the plastic

seems like it *should* work.

Hy! Sorry for my bad english! Just the case is difference? Not possible, the MX1=bluetooth v2.1, and MX2=bluetooth v3.3?

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Guess Geekbuying didn't catch that. For some reason I can't find the MX1's bluetooth spec on geekbuying or amazon. Would be very interesting then to see if the MX2 can run this ROM.

Might work still if everything else is the same.

HI everyone:

Just come back from hospital, a bad flu here, so don't check this forum for a while.

for the MX2 and MX1, they use the same software, i ask the factory, they can use the same firmware, but we will try for you guys, i am downloading BOB'S rom,and will try to flash it in my MX2, and then will post the result.

Thx Bob for your great work.

Do i have to root before flashin this rom or can i just follow instructions from stock?

[Finless]

No you do not have to root it to flash the ROM. This ROM roots the device so just follow the instructions.

Hey finless, do you know if the kernel source can be compiled for the mx1/mx2. I ordered a MX2, and am hoping the full real 1080p mode will eventually be able to be enabled with a custom kernel. But ive heard that the iMito sticks, use different bluetooth/wifi chipsets

We will be working more on other sticks and BT support. At least we will try. It appears as long as the kernel has BT enabled, the drivers needed for iMito are external e.g. system/lib/modules. So it may be possible without kernel source. We will see when we get to it.

Ok awesome, do you know if wifi modules are there to? or does it use the same wifi, built into kernel like the mk808?

I have done some android rom cooking/development in the past, so i know some stuff about this. Might try cooking up some stuff for the mx2 if i have some time :P Great job finless btw, with all your work here. Really hope 2dead4u kernel can be for the MX1/2

Wow, thank you! My MX2 should be arriving in a few days so this will be very helpful.

maybe deadhp1 can build a kernel for us.

ir external touchscreen

Hello! Can anybody implement multitouch support into kernel? Touchscreen seller wrote that is easy:
Writing code in kernel layer steps:
Kernel layer
make menuconfig ARCH=arm


Device Drivers-->HID Devices-->Special HID drivers-->HID Multitouch Panel

I have no programming experience but I think touchscreen support is a future for android sticks. At least please help me in any way you can. Maybe there IR panels wich have native android support?

Is it possible to use your firmware with ug 007 device?
Thanks for any help.

I have to say wifi is a huge problem with the mx1. It just doesn't want to stay connected. I've tried moving the device and that just doesn't help. I'm not sure wether its a hardware or firmware issue but its got to the point where it's not usable over wifi.

Thanks for the great ROM!

Hello again folks!
I am back with a new ROM for the iMito MX1
I am calling this 1.4 like all my first ROMs. It is made from the latest 11/19 ROM from Imito. This is the ROM that solves the changing MAC address problem.

BUG NOTE:
Well this maybe not a bug but intended by iMito. Anytime the MX1 is booted AND the OTG port is plugged into a PC, it will boot with USB storage turned on! What this means is on boot up you will not be able to see the internal SDcard or the External SDcard from within Android. On your PC you see the removable drives because on boot they are mounted to the PC not Android.
Now you can turn this OFF once booted. Go into settings and USB. You will see PC connection is grayed out.
1) Click it and it will then put the check box in "conneted". Odd it is OFF by defualt even though it is really connected to the PC.
2) Now turn it off and it will unmount the SDcards from your PC and you can now see them in Android.
HOWEVER... Realize next reboot, it will be on again.
In my opinion this should not work this way but at least you can turn it off once booted.
The other work around is to always hook up the USB cable to the back micro USB port not the OTG port.
The back port ONLY powers the unit. There is no data connection on this port for PC.
This solves that issue. But remember the back port will NEVER connect to a PC or allow ROM flashes.
Only the OTG port allows that.

Features in 1.4 ROM:

1) Fully rooted with the latest SU and SUperUser.apk
2) All GAPPs updated to latest. This includes the latest Play Store and GMS Core.
3) Debloated of unusable APPs and junk.
4) Cleaned up the file system so it is not fragmented! Basicly I used linux tune2fs when making the images.
5) I added a reboot APP that will allow you to reboot the device from the Android UI. No more unplugging the unit!

6) Full init.d support has been added! If you do not know what that is... ignore it.
Basically it allows you to install scripts that run at boot time.
If your interested, google search V6SuperCharger for a neat speed booster script.

7) I added the Xbox Xpad.ko module to support Xbox controllers.
8) I added md4 and cifs KO modules.

Hey Bob, Rivers here from Somecooltech on YouTube. This ROM works great! My iMito is running even faster now. If you ever want any video work done just let me know. Anyway, things have just been super busy for me lately that's why I haven't got to install your ROM until today. I think when i get back from this trip next week I'll make a video about this ROM if its OK with you.

Thanks again,
Rivers

Confirmed! iMito MX2 can support BOB'S MX1 Custom Rom, Tested

HI guys:

We just test BOB'S iMito MX1 Custom rom on the new iMito MX2 device, it can work great! Like i said, they use the same software, so BOB, you can change your ROM title to " For iMito MX1 and iMito MX2"

Good Job,Bob!
