CWM Minix Neo X5 Roms

[Konstigt]

To install, I downloaded the right file for me, put it on my Neo X5 by changing USB mode from MTP to (hmm) USB host?

Then connected it via USB OTG cable to my PC. Copied the file and un-mounted.

Booted up CWM (pressing the recover button with a pin while powering on)

Did a factory reset, note, this did not touch the internal sd-card

Then chose install zip from file, chose the zip that I've saved to the sd-card

Done!

Hello what's the name of the app ?
thanks

Reboot apk by petrus, not in play, in this forum use search, and write petrus reboot, or search in petrus msg

Hello,
- If you have CWM installed, simply reboot to recovery, either with my "Reboot App" or with the specific way of your device to boot to recovery

One important thing is you can install it from internal sdcard, but you must have a microsd card inserted with at least 500 mb of free space, needed for the script to work coping a temp file.

That's strange since my X5 extSD won't even mount in CWM 6.0.2.8

Thanks OP, great job! ....and naturally thanks Bob for the ROM

Re: CWM Minix Roms

If you want I have a cwm zip to change only kernel, and if you want I can made 1 to change kernel and boot, so if you want to switch resolution only, without touch the other staff I can give you the stuff to make that.

fastest rom instal i ever did, i would recommend it to everyone.
petrus thank you

For the Neo X5 CWM is a perfect solution because I have not changed the formatting of NAND (parameter file). But if someone ever wants that changed, CWM will not do it. Many of my other TV stick ROMs require a parameter file change because the idiots that make these ROM leave you only 512MB of APP space. Thus at least the first ROM flash your still stuck using s PC.

Nice work on this, i was hoping that finless would be ported to a CWM recovery deal.. beats the heck out having to hook up to the pc.. when ever i want to change roms.... so far im only on 720p... 1080p seems a bit laggy for the power of the minix... but perhaps a bit of over clocking would help... well anyhow... thanks for putting these packages together... and a big thinks to finless again.. makes these silly android boxes quite a bit of fun..

system.img was definitely flashed. I was unrooted stock before flashing (brand new X5 fresh from the box)......I installed CWM directly from the device (no PC) and then flashed the 1080p (no airpin) zip above. I am now definitley rooted with noticaeble changes over stock in the UI and under /system (e.g. build.prop, cursor image, etc.).

juas thas good.Ok I think that I know why it works, maybe system.img was copied to /external_sd folder and an external_sd was not mounted. I used the external sdcard to temporally host the file system.img cause some times the file was not installed properly from /tmp
Thanks for your report
But if sometimes it doesn't work for some of you, pls insert a sdcard with 500Mb of free space, and sure it will work.

Re: CWM Minix Roms

Really? I installed this just fine from my internal storage without any sd card inserted.

And the new system is installed?, maybe in this zip I used internal sd, I will see it latter.
Ok i look at the script, and I think your system.img was not flashed. The script used external sdcard to temporarily host system.img before flash it.
