Finless ROM 1.7 VS Finless ROM 2.1 which 1 better?
which 1 firmware better?

[t-bon3]

Personally I am using 2.1 but I'm OCD about keeping software updated to the latest versions.

Try both and see which you prefer!

This is taken from another forum's rules (doom9.org) but it applies in many sutuations:

Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!

+1000

4.1 is faster and have better compatibility, but this 4.2 looks very well too. Test both and stay in the one that you feel better.

Finless rom 1.7 & rom 2.1 this 2 rom which rom wifi better?

[Horrorzilla]

I have used both and had great results. I have had great wifi on both, but I also have had very few of the other problems mentioned on here with my MK808. Think I just got lucky but both 1.7 and 2.1 are great - just a matter of preference. On my MK808 i have in a modded case is running Lewy's 2.2.3 which is also great. I say try them all and pick the one that suits you best. I have 2 (1 for everyday wife use and 1 for play) so am always trying the newest out.

I use SetCPU and haven't had any issues at all. By reboot do you mean your Android stick shuts off and restarts?

ya..if i setcpu 1600 10min android stick all can't move all auto restart

2.1 kernel is not cpu locked, so for the first time if you set it to 1.6ghz it will actually run at that speed, unlike other roms which lie and say they are running at 1.6ghz but not.

It cant run at 1.6 stable, drop it down to 1.4ghz, or test out 1.5ghz.

2.1 hands down

From my perspective 2.1 is significantly better.

pros
- I can stream mp4's and mkv's up to 1080 w/o any issues. This was my main use case hence this matters a lot to me.
- In 1.7 I got max score 21mbps with speedtest but with 2.1 I get 40mbps.
- Google play and other apps are snappier.

cons
- 4.2. Android removed flash support.
- when playing 1080p mkv the stick overheats and starts chopping. I'll need to put a better heat sink into the device.

For me 2.1 is better than 1.7c eventhough 2.1 cannot run antutu benchmark, setcpu
i am using antutu cpu master free instead.
benchmarking have not found i that worked yet.

Hi,
I'm a newbie and am looking to download Finless 2.1. Where do I start? Also, where can I find good instructions for installing it. I'm on stock.

Thanks so much in advance!

1. Be sure what is your device and choose the appropriate rom for it.
2. Download the rom and read carefully the instructions in the readme.
3. Start to flash and if you have problems open a thread and we will try to help

Other than what Leolas advised, there are also many youtube videos you can check out.
For me i read the readme file and also watch some videos and never had problem installing usb drivers and flashing the rom.
IMPORTANT -remember to wait 3-4minutes after flashing and reboot(blue led lights turn on) before unplugging the unit from your pc. can means good or bad flash.
